I absolutely love that magazines are using more women of color in their pages; it certainly is refreshing. But part of me feels that as ad dollars are dwindling, print mags are looking to last minute gimmicks to get any and every one (meaning us) to buy them on newsstands. Perhaps I’m being cynical…
Barack defines dapper in a tux and white bowtie, while Michelle sparkles in a white chiffon one shouldered gown by 26-year-old designer Jason Wu. Who is Mr. Wu?
A Parson’s graduate and native of Taiwan, Wu has only been designing for a few years and just recently got picked up by major stores like Nordstrom. In an interview, when asked about the probability of Michelle picking his design, he said it was “a long shot.“
But Wu, like Obama, shows that absolutely everything is possible, regardless of race or age.
No excuses stylistas!
Go forth in fashion…
Video of the first dance:
“Latin Flavor, surreal lines, and futuristic content define Isabel Toledo’s radical fashion sewn in the tradition of couture. Toledo, who speaks of herself as a seamstress rather than a fashion designer, creates in the manner of couturiers such as Madame Vionnet and Madame Gres. Like them, she does not start from a flat sketch, but envisions clothing in three dimensions, always bearing a shape in her mind, usually a circle or a curved line. ‘I love the maths behind the romance,’ she says of her so-called liquid architecture’s craftsmanship….Toledo’s husband, Ruben, known for his whimsical fashion illustrations, manages the business side of the New York based company and acts as her creative alter ego.“
Pssst, First Lady Obama is also wearing Jimmy Choo heels and J.Crew gloves! The little ladies, Sasha and Malia, are in J.Crew Crewcuts. They. are. adorable.
Our last intern post for today is from Jemise, repping from Hampton U! She thinks the Fashion Bomb would benefit from more Beauty Posts. Check out her beauty bomb, and, as usual, tell us your thoughts! “Spring time is right around the corner, and as you update your wardrobe for the season, it’s only right that you update your beauty cabinet and make-up bag too! Warmer weather welcomes bright colors, and it’s the perfect time to experiment with new trends:”
Try these products for a bright, springy look:
Pictured: L’Oreal HIP Metallic Duo Sculpted, OPI Nail Color MonSooner or Later, L’Oreal HIP Metallic Duo Magnetic, Victoria’s Secret Mozaic Bronzer, Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss Cherry Bomb, Essie Nail Polish Shorty Pants, 8. MAC Blushcreme Laid Mac Lipglass Strawberry Blonde, OPI Nail Color I’m India Mood For Love, Iman Blush Duo Posh, KLS Makeup Eyeshadow. “With all that color, its important to make sure you have the ever chic staple of black. Big bold lashes and the sultry smoky eye are both winners throughout the season. Try these to really make your eyes pop:

I’ll admit, I know nothing about beauty, so this is definitely welcome!
The comments section is open!
Stay tuned for posts from the rest of our intern contestants tomorrow.
Candidate Suzy thinks we at the Fashion Bomb could mix in more home decor with our fashion finds. Here’s her post:
“Now that it is officially 2009, I have made a New Years Resolution to expand my fabulousity beyond my wardrobe. Let’s face it, most fashionistas have plenty of clothes but shouldn’t our homes reflect the same creativity and style? Here are ten home decor finds for under $100 ( for the recessionista of course):“
Intern contestant Vuitton suggested we start a new section called Daily Bread. Here’s his post!
“Hey Guys! So of course we’re always on the lookout for exciting finds–we’re sure you guys are too! In love with those shoes you just bought? What about that statement clutch that will leave the kids gagging? Show it off here!
“…We’ve come up with a new section of the site where you guys can post pics along with the details of your latest buys. Whether you bought it because you had a rough day, or you just needed something new in your closet, post it here!” Devon says, “I realized I didn’t have a brown leather watch, so in light of this recession, I didn’t want to go crazy. So I hopped on over to Guess and picked this one up for $125…” Sheryl says, “After a rough week at work, I thought I could use a little retail therapy, so I bought this cute babydoll dress from Asos.com.” I like.
Would you be down for Daily Bread?
Happy Inauguration Day Fashionistas!
Where are you watching the inauguration?
I myself have to work today (boo!), but should be home around 6pm, just in time to watch the ceremony (we’re six hours ahead). What about you? Yesterday we had a bit of an upset with the contest, as many of you, it seems, weren’t as gassed about our intern picks as we were! We respect your opinions, so we’re willing to add one more finalist to the mix! Our last addition is Anitra, a journalism student from Florida A&M University…
She says, “I subscribe to Vogue and In Style and I love to recreate looks. I was picked as Glamour.com‘s Best Dressed Reader of the Day and was also a contestant in The Fashion Bomb’s Most Fashionable Fashion Bomber contest.” Stylish and smart!
She submitted this example of Real Style for our perusal… …and will be hitting us with a beauty bomb shortly!
Check in throughout the day for posts by the finalists interspersed with ones by myself and Adriana. This is their shining moment, so leave comments and let them know how they did!
Bisous!
