Oh What A Night!

Wow, what a whirlwind day yesterday. Only to be topped off with a unforgettable night. We officially have a new President, Barack H. Obama! I didn't get to make it to Washington, DC to celebrate the inauguration of our 44th President with the masses (and boy did it tear me up inside), but I managed to do a little celebrating of my own. I started the day glued to the television for the beginning ceremony and swearing in of the President and Vice President then went to a really nice celebratory brunch. There was good food, conversation, and more being glued to the television to witness history. After that I went to a friend's house for a BBQ and I'll say we Americans sure know how to party. How did you celebrate history?

...And what do we think about Michelle's dress?

Red, White & The Blue: Barack Obama Wins!

Well the Blues have it, and Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States of America (See the electoral map here)! I'm so proud to be an American and excited be a part of this historic time. This should be an exciting time for everyone because America is truly pointed in the direction of change and opportunity for all its citizens (the sky's the limit). I can hardly concentrate because I'm so full of positive energy. There is no better time than the present to be patriotic and to display vibrant color. Here's some of the looks that inspire me.





J Crew Velvet Ecole Jacket $168 (its a blazer that's very "official business" and luxe at the same time)





Herve Leger sleeveless mini $950.00 (I know it's a splurge, but it's so timeless and sexy. More importantly, Serena Williams showed no mercy when she wore a similar Herve Leger dress in this month's Bazaar)





























Tory Burch "T" Perforated Suede Bag $395 (classic and understated in a bold color)


























P.S. What do we think about our future first lady's victory dress?
