Happy Weekend

Well, apparently this little number is indeed flying off the racks. A salesperson at H&M in Soho informed me that people have been buying the "Michelle Obama dress" non-stop since yesterday afternoon. I managed to grab the last dress at the location on Broadway just below Spring. It is a size 6, and is destined for one of you, dear readers. A little Valentine from me to you!
Please leave a comment on this post by Monday, February 14, 9PM EST if you would like a chance to win the dress. I will then select the lucky recipient using random.org and mail it to you. xo
Update: Random.org has turned up comment #55, reader Yvonne. Hooray! Thank you all for the comments and excitement.

Cute dress! Happy Valentine!
Gorgeous dress on such a modern style icon. Love it!
Lovely dress, perfect for spring. Mrs. O Rocks!
I went looking for that dress at two different h&m stores, and nope, sold out. So I have to try here :) thanks for the chance!
I love it!
Love the dress. Hope I win!
I love this dress! So pretty!!
I love the polkadots!
Pick me! Pick me!!!
I think I am writing the 251th comment. I hope H&M continues to design more dresses and clothing like this dress. It's youthful yet flattering for women 30+.
I think that dress symbolizes whats so great about Mrs Obama. She wears what she loves - period - whether we like it or not isn't important - SHE likes it.
flirty, playful & delightful!
I want that dress! My sister is only months away from catching up to Jennifer Hudson, and it would make an ideal gift for her! (As well as put me in her good graces for a loooooong time. :-)
This cute dress!
Thanks for the opportunity and Happy Valentin' s Day everyone !
I love this dress. Mrs O has such great taste.
Thank you for this wonderful blog. That dress is adorable!!
I will look better in this dress than the dress I won in the Barbara Bush Contest!
I should be awarded this dress because the more of us who look like Michelle Obama, the better chance there is that her husband will win re-election!
Like Oprah's long lost half sister, I've been waiting for the right time and place to tell the world that I'm Michelle's long lost half sister! What better occasion than on Valentine's Day, wearing "the" dress!
Fabulous idea for Valentines Day!
It would be absolutely fantastic if I won this dress!
On my very best day, I would never look as good as Mrs. Obama does. She could wear a burlap sack and make it fashionable! What a beautiful person, both inside and out! I wish her and her family - and Mrs. T and all the readers of this site - a wonderful, hapllpy St. Valentine's Day!

The power of fashion at its finest! Lovely dress and great giveaway! Happy Valentine's Day!

beautiful dress!
Loving the dress is only part of it. Now you've made me homesick for my beloved New York.
love the dress & the size! hope random.org picks me :)
Bright colors against a black background - so eye catching. Wish I had seen her on the show.
This cute dress would be perfect for my daughter-in-law. How's that for a good mother-in-law?
I love this website. I keep it on my desktop and look at it every day.
Happy Valentine's Day to You!

I would just love to raid Michelle Obama's closet, I'm sure she has some LOVELY cast-offs.
Great dress and in my size! I hope to win!

Michelle is such a wonderful role model for young women - I would be thrilled to receive this dress, to surprise my teenage daughter who, together with me, is a daily visitor to this site.
I love that Mrs. O has a positive effect on H&M stock. Great dress!
Mrs. O looked fantastic, fresh, and fun.
Her smile is contagious. Enjoyed the interviews.
Its a simple but classy dress.
I want this dress!!!
I have a Talbot's dress that I bought after Mrs O wore it. I loe that dess.
