1. Barack Obama has been elected the 44th president of the US. We look forward to countless fashionable moments from his effortlessly chic first lady, who wore a bold red and black Narciso dress to last night's acceptance speech. Find out how to imitate Michelle's election night look here. [NYTimes]
2. Target will premiere a line by Alexander McQueen in March as the first of its new Designer Collaborations collections. We hope McQueen delivers more than Sigerson did. [WWD]
3. Anya Hindmarch has created gift baskets (called hampers in Britain) for Selfridges. Unfortunately, they're not nearly as cheap as her Target bags. [FWD]
4. Consignment store sales have risen significantly this year, with shoppers looking for the best retail bargains, whether the clothes are new or old. We suggest eBay for some good finds at prices you decide. [WSJ]

this is a big mess , i cant beleave as a nation we have fallen so low to let this happen
Let it go jman….It’s time for a CHANGE!! Blacks are just as or more intelligent than whites. What’s low is that people like you are affraid of a Black intelligent man becoming anything more than a failure. Why? Because a black person with too much knowledge, education and insight only means one thing to white America. That POWER!!
GO BARACK!!
Michelle is very chic, and I’m sure she will be one of the leading lady trend setters in the next few years.
According to the Mrs O. weblog, the dress is Narciso Rodriguez:

I didn’t care for the REDONE Narciso Rodriguez Spring 2009 dress. Especially the colored symbolism.
