Ecstatic as always to see my weekly Style.com email sitting patiently in my inbox, i rushed home to pour myself a glass of vino and kick back for some good fashion reading. Halfway through the rundown i noticed a small brief touting a new trend about to hit the fashion radar for pre-fall.
I'll give you a hint, the trend is hairy, fluffy and detached from your outfit. Give up? It's an enormous fur bracelet (come on people!)
Now, I'm not sure how i feel about slapping a big furry bracelet around my wrist, all i can think about is unknowingly dipping my fabuloso bracelet in tapioca pudding during a lunch meeting. But, what do i know? I could be completely missing the point here.
Feel free to leave comments coaching me on how to successfully flash around the fur bracelet, i'm all ears! :)

Inaugural Ball Designer - Jason Wu is the Winner
Update: Well, i was wrong on my designer pick! Thank goodness Stylehive's Aunt Bee sent me an email late last night to keep me in the "know."
Aunt Bee says: Michelle Obama wears a silk chiffon Jason Wu gown with crystal rhinestones -- this young designer must be on top of the world right about now--gorgeous gown!
I can now sleep peacefully, thanks to Stylehive. :)

Inauguration Ball: No News is Good News?
Update:
There is no update! CNN's latest news reads "Obama, first lady make party appearance" - but i can't access the coverage! The horror of it all.
If anyone out there knows what and who Mrs. O is wearing please comment below. I'm sure the fashion critics will provide glaring reviews tomorrow morning and i will post something shortly thereafter.
My prediction is another Isabel Toledo ensemble, or she could go with her beloved hometown designer, Maria Pinto.
We'll see...

What will Mrs. O wear to the ball?
The question on everyone's mind as Barack Obama proudly accepts his post as our nation's 44th president is, "what will Michelle (a.k.a "Mrs. O) Obama wear to the Inauguration Ball?!"
Yes that's right friends, CNN may be focusing their news efforts towards the prospect of great change but news programs like Entertainment Tonight are solely focused on wardrobe (thank god).
Here's the latest update in two words: Narciso Rodriguez
Going back to her election day roots, Michelle has opted for sleek, warm Narciso ensembles on Sunday and today.
I'll be beaming myself to Washington D.C. tomorrow evening for the Inauguration Ball and will make sure everyone is fully aware of what Michelle Obama is wearing. Or, depending on the weather, i may just sit on my couch like every other American and blog about it all later.
I'll check in tomorrow.

Michigan Fashion Designer Cameron Scott Hits The Big Time!
Michigan born fashion designer Cameron Scott returned to his hometown of Detroit this month and debuted his 2009 Resort collection at Royal Oak boutique, The Annex. From what I've read and heard, the collection received stellar reviews.
In the essence of time, I'm going to post Cameron's 2009 Resort collection press release (I normally don't post releases as is, so don't get used to it!).

Golden Globes Top Five!
Hi Friends,
Like most of you, i tuned in to the Golden Globes last night to see Brad and Angie making out at a table in the back, Rumer Willis as Miss Golden Globe (Stand up strait and don't hunch!) and last but most certainly not least, the amazing evening wear our billionaire besties were sporting as they cascaded down the red carpet
After countless hours (okay maybe minutes) of debating who would be crowned "best dressed" i decided on the following list:
2009 Golden Globes Top Five Best Dressed
5. So, i broke down and included a cocktail-ish ensemble on the list, but i had too! America Ferrera looked ultra-comfortable and very non-Ugly Betty in her Oscar De La Renta frock and matching clutch.
4. As always, Penelope Cruz looked breathtaking in a pale gold column dress crafted by Giorgio Armani Prive. Cruz floated along the red carpet smiling, waving to fans and looking as though she didn't have a care in the world. What's the happy glow all about? Who knows, but i'm sure we'll learn all about in the tabloids tomorrow.
3. Eva Mendes rocked her Dior white silk taffeta gown by contrasting chunky aqua green jewelry and showing off her gorgeously tan cuban skin. This dress almost made me forgive her for having an affair with Meg Ryan's husband in "The Women," but I'm still bitter (that's why she's number 3).
2. Not to go all "goth" on everyone, but i fell in love with Kate Winslet's black, belted Yves St. Laurent gown. You know what they say, black is the new size 2 - work it girl!
1. In a true "let them eat cake" moment Amy Adams rocked a glitzy gown that resembled an over-the-top, yet incredibly sexy wedding dress. The dark navy hue was perfectly contrasted with Adams deep red hair and creamy alabaster skin. I also enjoyed her sage green platinum jewelry - nicely done to Amy's stylist!

2009 Fashion Reading List
Hi Ladies,
As i sit here at my computer with red-rimmed eyes in a soft sleepy haze i seem to remember why a good book is always sort of bittersweet. I decided to start reading Queen of Fashion (listed below) last night at around 11 p.m. and didn't get to bed till around 2 a.m.! Now, thanks to Caroline Weber I'm walking around the house like a zombie when I'm supposed to be at the gym working off all those holiday macaroons. Just another day in the life i suppose, figures.
Anyway, the books listed below are sure to keep you yawning at your desks and sleeping in for the first part of 2009.
Enjoy!
