Michelle O. Makes Jackie O. Proud!!

How fly is our First Lady? Hm, try Vogue-magazine-fly (again!)


Michelle Obama graces the cover of Vogue magazine once again, but this time she's solo (for a little while.) Mrs. President talks about her and her husband's main focus in the April 2013 issue (on stands March 26th,) which is their family. She addresses allegations of her and President Obama not socializing enough in Washington stating, "Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they're growing every day. But I think we were both pretty straightforward when we said, `Our No. 1 priority is making sure that our family is whole." Mrs. O says the pressures of the White House are very, very real. Barack and Michelle just simply prefer to spend any free time with their daughters. 
Michelle may be on the cover alone, but she is accompanied by her husband in the article. The adorable couple takes turns telling what they have learned from (and about) one another during their "twenty-some-odd" year relationship. They also talk about keeping their marriage strong and how they don't let their political rise to fame affect their relationship. Michelle's mother lives in the White House with the couple, and Michelle admits to her mother being one major reason the First Couple has remained so strong. The First Lady says,  My mother doesn’t do interviews. but let me tell you: She is not long on pretense. She’s the first one to remind us who we are. And it’s been very helpful having her living with us. . . . We can check reality against her sensibilities."
President Obama admits that Michelle upgraded him, "like Beyonce in that song!" (How adorable is that?!)

Gucci In Milan; it's gotta be perfection.


The fashion industry has been addicted to Gucci since 1921, and they continue to deliver still today in 2013. Creative director, Frida Giannini, took a different approach on sexy this year and I have a feeling it's going to be big.




See, I'm not sure about y'all, but I hate being cold. It seems as though every year as it starts to get colder, I am faced with a dilemma: to be fabulous, or to be warm? Well Gucci has decided no longer should women have to choose, because now they can have both! Giannini was inspired by 60's British artist, Allen Jones. Jones is famous for taking fetishism from behind closed doors to gallery floors (I'm such a poet, eh?) Gucci has a new idea of sexy: no bare skin... well, some bare skin, but hardly any. Their fall/winter 2013 line is so Italy: strong and sexy, and is both without being overbearing. There were long sleeve, body-con jersey dresses, paired with knee-high boots hitting above the skirt lengths. Only a few deep-v dresses and coats were spotted, but (of course) they were all done extremely tastefully, and there was a ton of leather! It was all done in perfect dark tones: army green, navy blue, burgundy, brown, and, of course, black. 



The evening wear was to-die-for! The combinations of prints and fabrics were absolutely captivating. I fell completely in love with the polka-dot lace and feathers! This whole line is haute, head-to-toe sexy, without the cleavage. I love the idea of women being covered up as sexy, versus the typical ideal of baring it all. Very well-played, Gucci.
