Isaac Mizrahi is back with a Twist!

I've always been a sucker for sweet and feminine clothing...a touch of whimsy that's been sugar coated with lady-like touches. This spring, I'm jonesing for the new Isaac Mizrahi collection for Liz Clairborne. Yes, you read it right; Liz Clairborne...that once tired label that you remember your mother clamouring for in the 1980's is back with avenges...thanks to the clever and quirky designs of Isaac.

As I reviewed the collection, I could see myself dressed in every single one of the amazingly fun pieces. I have always been a sucker for cute skirts, flouncy dresses, ruffled necklines and over-sized flower pins. But please, don't believe for one minute that this collection is...yawn...boring. Isaac added his usual touches of bold, statement colors and interesting details to the garments.
I guess one could say that the collection could be described as, "Classic with a Sweet & Citrusy Twist."

Vogue Celebrates Michelle!


I was beginning to think that we were still living in the dark ages, when every time I picked up the latest issue of Vogue; there was no Michelle. Well guess who's on the cover of the March issue of American Vogue....First Lady Michelle Obama!!!


Our First Lady will grace the cover wearing a pink sheath dress by, now famed, Jason Wu (the designer of her inauguration gown). The caption reads, "The First Lady the World's Been Waiting For"


Shot by famous photographer, Annie Leibovitz, Michelle looks relaxed and self-assured. How apropos that she would appear on the Spring issue, when spring is a time of new beginnings and fresh ideas.


Thank you Vogue for not letting America down. But please, don't stop at First Lady Obama. Beauty comes in all colors!
