With the arrival of the Obamas in the White House, all eyes are on Washington, and it’s not just our new president who’s capturing our attention. Michelle Obama is demonstrating a true flair for fashion, and her individual style is garnering more than a few fans. With simple lines and beautiful tailoring, she brings to mind another first lady and fashion icon. Already we can identify some aspects of her signature style: her penchant for flats, Erickson Beamon floral brooches, belted dresses, and complexion-flattering jewel tones and pastels. For anyone who was left in doubt of her stylistic prowess, her Michelle Obama’s inaugural gown cemented her place among the other formidable fashion mavens who have graced the White House. Check out the slideshow to see some pieces that exemplify the new Mrs. O’s wardrobe.

Times may be tough, but just because money might be tight doesn’t mean your clothing options have to be!

If you take after Carrie Bradshaw and a part of you dies every time you slip off your stilettos, force yourself to give those 4-inch heels a rest! It’s time to embrace a more comfy, funky, fresh kind of footwear that you may have previously kept banished to your closet, except for those rare occasions when you’d actually muster up the motivation to hit the gym. With upscale urban trendsetters like Creative Recreation, high-quality imports like Superga, and updated embellished versions of old favorites like Converse, today’s hippest sneakers make a strong case against any stigma against them! And with the right accessories, like a cool coordinating scarf, you can easily turn your casual look from frumpy to fly – and still stay comfortable! Check out more sweet sneaker finds in the slideshow – from wild stand-out colors to subtle pastel patterns, there’s a hue, height, and shape to satisfy anyone’s athletic shoe appetite! You’ll think twice about subjecting these sneaks to scuffs by only wearing them for a work-out. Click the slideshow and see these sneaks for yourself!

Whoever coined the phrase “let your hair down” as a means of relaxation must not have had the high-maintenance mane I have. While I can’t bear the thought of getting rid of my characteristic side-swept bangs or the considerably weighty length of my hair, I have to admit that my default long straightened style does tend to hinder my productivity at times by obstructing my view of whatever it is I’m trying to accomplish. My usual solution (especially when I’m frustrated with my fringe constantly sneaking it’s way back into my vision) is to just whip out a couple elastics on the spot, tether it all back & then stick in a dozen bobby pins to harness in the strays… but I can’t help but feel bad for my stressed tresses, not to mention horribly un-chic. However, with so many hot hair accessories that are stylish right now, ranging from suede and beaded headbands to peacock plumed elastics (and even the resurrected scrunchie?!), there are tons of trendy ways to maintain a carefree coif that doesn’t get in the way when you’re trying to work! Say goodbye to haphazard messy buns and too-tight last-minute ponytails with more trendy hair pieces in the slideshow!
