Since Michelle Obama and her kitten heels first stepped onto the national stage five years ago, the keys to her personal dress code have remained remarkably consistent. Pearls, cardigans and brooches are all components of the first lady’s look.
She started out your typical girl at Lawrence High School on Long Island, N.Y., spending too much time reading Women’s Wear Daily, tanning at Atlantic Beach and coveting shoes.
Long before Don Draper and Justin Timberlake brought sexy back to the fedora, hats were once as common on a man’s head as socks on his feet. Simply put, a man was not properly dressed without one.
Don’t know about you, but there is no way I’m going to pay $25 for mascara, $29 for eyeliner or $15 for a dollop of eye shadow the size of a quarter. Spending that kind of money on makeup is just not in my DNA.
There’s a new abnormal in men’s style.
A few years ago people tried to pitch me items about pimping out your mobile phone. I said, nice try but no way. That’s a gadget. I write about fashion.

Actress Amanda Seyfried is busily promoting her new film, “Les Miserables,” which opened Christmas Day. The actress, who plays Cosette in the film, is treating fans to a whirlwind fashion tour as she walks red carpets around the globe.

I wanted to know how my fellow brides found their ideal dresses so I conferred with 30 brides who visited the same stores I did, learning where they found their gowns, what their experiences were like and why they picked the dresses they did.
Fashionistas daunt gift givers. If they really want a fashion item, they likely buy it, unless it busts the budget, which probably means it busts the giver’s too.
Here you go again? You want to light up the room at a holiday party so you find yourself shopping (desperate, at the last minute) and spending more than you want on an outfit you probably will never wear again.
