hip hair - michelle obama is a hot mama! May 11, 2009

Filed under: general, girls clothing, hip entertainment, hip hair, hip style — admin @ 5:18 pm
michelle obama has got it goin’ on.

(click a pic above, then click the pic on the new page, to enlarge.)

it isn’t easy when all eyes are upon you. and when you’re the first african-american first lady, everything about you is political, even your hair. now this is a style blog, not a political blog, but if you want to check out an interesting read about the political meaning of michelle obama’s ‘do, click here.

so back to style — michelle has got it. millions of words have been written about her fashion sense, and although most of it has been strongly positive, some (largely from the old guard of “high” fashion) has been negative in a somewhat self-serving way. (she would look much better in my designs, dahling…) so she’s a fashion icon and a bit of a fashion rebel. go michelle. =)

so now to her hair. subtle changes in her day look can make a big difference, as you can see in the array above. and when she goes formal, well, she can really knock you out with a classic updo.

and just think - the days of First Lady Obama have just begun.

ciao!
julie

vintage finds monday - sexy vintage! April 20, 2009

Filed under: general, girls clothing, hip clothing, hip style, shop, vintage clothing — admin @ 11:18 pm
it’s time to heat things up.

vintage = variety. there are great vintage pieces that remind you of something your mother or grandmother might have worn, and then, there’s the kind of vintage highlighted in this post. the kind of vintage that grandma might have worn, but those photos didn’t end up in the album that gets passed around on thanksgiving. those photos are all at the bottom of grandpa’s dresser drawer.

now you can inspire a whole new generation with these sexy vintage pieces. after all, some things never change.

ciao,
julie
