I’m watching President Obama’s first address to Congress the other night and I see Michelle Obama–a vision in a gorgeous, purple dress.  I’ve been obsessing about that dress ever since Tuesday night and trying to figure out who the designer was.  Well, mystery solved (I’m a good investigator):  Narciso Rodriquez.  Meanwhile, I discovered a few other dresses she’s worn recently.

Lovely in Purple Dress by Narciso Rodriguez

Green Dress by Kai Milla

Strapless Dress by Peter Soronen and necklace by Tom Binns.  WOW!  My favorite of the three.  And look at the way the President is looking at her.

Which one is your favorite?

I love this hat.

Love the mile high slit on the thigh.  Very sexy.

Some beautiful dresses from Jason Wu:

Continuing my obession with Christian Louboutin…Christian Louboutin designed these gorgeous ruffled shoes specifically for Phillip Lim’s Spring 2009 runway shoe.

And last but not least, my favorite:

Valentine’s Day is coming up and I’m thinking of asking Christian Louboutin to be my Valentine.

Have you seen some of his Spring 2009 shoes?  They’re so beautiful it almost hurts to look at them.

Petal Sandal – To Die For!

Suede Fringe Pump – Soooo sexy.

Ginnifer Goodwin wore a “statement necklace” to the premiere of He’s Just Not That Into You.

Proof that statement necklaces are still very much in fashion for Spring 2009.  Have you seen our statement necklaces?

Carmen Veca makes these beautiful, unique necklaces by hand.  Carmen has been featured in Italian Vogue and has quite a following in Milan.  I am the only retailer in the US carrying Carmen’s pieces and the necklaces were specifically commissioned for Carina New York.
