Michelle Obama Inaugural Dress for LESS

Loving the First Lady's white Jason Wu one-shoulder gown! Did you love it or hate it? Leave your comment below.


These are the closest copy cats I've found so far (I know, they aren't quite the same) from Chadwicks and edressme.com. I'll post more as I find them!

Spiegel just sent out an email of Michelle's look for less. Here are some of their highlights.

Doggy DNA Results

Though the results are in, "What is Daisy" has still not been answered 100%. According to the results.....
Daisy is....

...a Cocker Spaniel?????

Huh? Well, I was willing to take the results at face value, but Daisy's other family members have convinced the scientists at the lab that a mistake may have been made. It's back to the drawing board to retest the blood, so the saga continues. Although nobody guessed cocker, there will still be a give away. I will be using a random number generator based on comment number to find a winner, and will announce them soon. Hooray!!!

Michelle Obama's Inauguration Dress

The night of the election, I threw up a small post about Michelle Obama's black and red fade dress. On the following day, Houston's Weekly Chic received 2,000 hits within 24 hrs, and continues to get hits every day. It was insane. Everybody from Iowa to India was googling the future first ladies' dress. Since this is obviously a popular topic, I thought I'd keep the train chugging along through the inauguration. So what do you think she should wear? I love the blue Michael Kors show on the Shine website, and here are some of my other favorites...

Absinthe

It's been a while since I've mentioned any Houston nightlife hot spots, but I have found one worthy. I originally visited there couple of years ago, but after revisiting the other night, I knew blogging must occur. It is called the Absinthe Restaurant and Lounge, and it is one of my happy places. It's a very dark, intimate bar with amazing food (the gourmet pizza's are my favorite), warm cozy ambiance, and knock out cocktails. And yes, they do serve the green fairy...if you dare. They have tons of cushy couches, which totally rock because you feel like you're just hanging out in your stylish friend's living room. I should also note that this would be a perfect after hours spot if you are on a hot date. However, if you and your date drink the absinthe, I cannot be accountable for your actions. Check it out and let me know what you think!

GOLDEN GLOBE DRESS REVIEW

***************MY FAVORITES***************


Freida Pinto, in Christian Lacroix. I am obsessed with the color chartreuse lately. I wish I could find this fabric because I really need it for my Baby's room!


Rumer Willis, in Reem Acra. I love this wine colored gown, though I could have done without the belt.


Evan Rachel Wood, in vintage Elie Saab. Usually black is boring, but the textures and tiers make this dress interesting and surprisingly do not add unnecessary pounds.


Elizabeth Banks, in J. Mendel. This nude number has ultra flattering lines, perfect decoltage and sweeping hemline.


Drew Barrymore, in Dior. Though it reminds me a bit of one of those pastel colored q-tips or cotton balls, I love the retro risk that Drew took with this one. I think she pulls it off fabulously!

**************MY LEAST FAVORITES***************


Renée Zellweger, in Carolina Herrera. I don't know how Renee made it out of the house without someone telling her that her dress was on backwards!


Eva Mendes, in Christian Dior. Would have been nice if the bow wasn't so large. She looks like she might tip over!


Jennifer Lopez, in Marchesa. She already wore a shorter version of this dress in green. Live in the now!


Cameron Diaz, in Chanel. It looks like someone spit their gum out to make this dress...and what is happening with the grown out highlights?


Heidi Klum. If she is pregnant, I might let this one slide, but I scoured the internet and found no evidence thus far. There is no greater faux pas then looking pregnant when you aren't. Only time will tell.

Doggy DNA

WHAT KIND OF DOG IS DAISY?

Promise not to laugh? I had a DNA test done on my beautiful mutt Daisy. That's right, get Maury Povich on the phone, it's doggy DNA. The vet takes a blood sample, and sends it to a lab for a Wisdom Panel mixed breed analysis . A few weeks later, they unlock one of our very own mysteries of the universe. People constantly ask us what she is, and we just had find out.

So what do YOU think she might be? To be eligible, just guess 1 predominant breed, and leave it for us as a comment. Be sure to check back, because the winner might actually get a little prize. Correct answer will be announced January 19th!
