The First Lady, Michelle Obama, has been wearing some amazing wide belts these days – check out this amazing pierced leather one from her recent appearance at a meeting in the White House. Wide belts are a great way to call attention (or to create) a fantastic waistline, and a bold statement piece like hers especially so.
There are lots of interesting wide belts on the market these days, from fabric belts with a Japanese touch to tooled leather belts with some western flair.
If you’d like to try out a pierced leather belt like the first lady’s however, I’d recommend this …read more

When you’re constantly under public scrutiny, there is a certain pressure to be and look appealing. That seems fairly obvious of course, but lately there has been a swirl of attention on Michelle Obama and the makeup artist who travels with her, Ingrid Grimes-Miles.

“Liv-R” peep-toes add a touch of sex appeal to the kitten-heel pump:
The sleek black suede bootie “Bert-R” has …read more
