Get Mom Into Michelle Style: a Book Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion!

Michelle Obama’s fashion sense and unique style of blending high/low and wearing designers from both sides of the pond has been quite the talk since the inauguration. Women have rushed stores for the specific styles she wore from JCrew and other similar outlets along with some of the pricier brands. While it’s fun to discuss this topic one-on-one, author (and former magazine editor in chief) Mandi Norwood captures the essence of “Michelle Style” in a book format that shows off the best of Michelle Obama’s more eclectic and signature style.

Several nifty things about this “must have” book:
– full color original sketches from top designers like Carolina Herrera, Nicole Miller, Isabel Toledo and Tommy Hilfiger.

– it’s full of useful and creative tips for “everywoman” who wants to stay on trend but also stay on budget!
– full color photos of not only the First Lady but the President and the children too, showing off that the entire family makes both a political and fashion statement.
-“Pearls of Wisdom” a commentary about the pearls Michelle wears and how you can make them work for you
-It’s Cool to Bend the Stripe Rule. You don’t need to worry about horizontal versus vertical stripes if you mix up the various widths of the stripes.
– Unique color combinations. Mrs. Obama loves orange and lots of brights but you don’t have to worry if those colors don’t work for you. Pair them up with navy, chocolate, grey , turquoise or other similarly bright tones that do work for you and make your own fashion statement.
