An Editors Pick For: Michelle Obama

Hello Fashionites, I want to start off by sending a shout out to friend and Fashion Stylist Raymond Gee (@Ray_Gee) and American Fashion Brand United Bamboo (@UnitedBamboo) for this post inspiration! Raymond Gee and I had a small conversation on twitter and United Bamboo tweeted us this simple, chic amazing Printed Dress that was perfect for the working woman! I immediately thought of First Lady Michelle Obama because the dress is classic Michelle Obama with a cardigan and a pair of kitten heels. Then I began to think, why not change up her style, make her more fashion forward and edgy but still appropriate for spring!


Lets first began with the amazing Orange Print Sleeveless United Bamboo Dress! Classic First Lady attire with an interesting print and detailing on the shoulders!

The next looks are coming right from the runway! I'm not sure if Michelle Obama will buy off the the runway but these are great silhouette that i will take her style to the next level and of course since we focus on American Fashion all of the looks are from American Designer Brands!

The first look is from the Cushnie et Ochs Spring 2012 Collection! This look is a great choice for a press event or T.V. appearance! It has an amazing neck line that shows skin without actually reveling anything but still having  a very sexy and edgy feel, especially for a pant suit! The only thing i would change is the color to a Nude, Orange or Navy!

We picked this Pre- Fall Peter Som dress because its perfect everyday wear for the First Lady! I think the print is great, and the silhouette would work well with Loafers if decided that it wasn't a "heels" type of day! This Peter Som look is another great press option as well for a casual event!

Now I think a lot of readers might think I'm pushing it with this Tracy Reese Pre- Fall look but I wanted to give a look that would push the boundaries and this look a upgraded concept of the T- Shirt and Jean look. This is a great fashion forward everyday look; The printed pant with the colored block lace top works well together! This look on Michelle Obama would get great attention from the press in a heartbeat!

MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK DAY TWO: PETER SOM

Fashion Designer Peter Some is a hit or miss designer with me, he is a very talented designer but his collection didn't get me as excite as i wanted to be. However there are some Highlights In his Collection that i feel out-weighted the things That I didn't Like. First The color in his collection Screamed SPRING/SUMMER time, he Gave me some Print and i love Printed Pieces. The Biggest thing for me is the styling aspect. i  think the ladies would have looks way better with there hair pulled back. Below are pictures of my favorite looks from the collection that i got from STYLE.COM.
