The Story of Mrs. O

Please check out Style.com's piece on Mrs. O: The Face of Fashion Democracy, here!

"Even before Michelle Obama moved into the White House, publishers were scrambling to meet with the public’s demand for books on the new First Family. But while some of those books now seem slapdash or rushed, next month will see the release of Mrs. O, a colorful hardback written by blogger Mary Tomer, dedicated to Mrs. Obama’s style from her early days as a student to her role as the first African-American First Lady in the nation’s history. Tomer explains her project as a labor of love, one that began when she first clocked Mrs. Obama at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, joining the president on stage after the speech that vaulted him into the collective consciousness."

Wish List Part II

Since we featured Mrs. O's St. Erasmus necklace yesterday, we thought it would be worth mentioning another favorite Mrs. O piece that's now available. J.Crew has reintroduced the Crystal Constellation cardigan, renamed the Shimmering Constellation cardigan, similar to the cardigan worn by First Lady Mrs. O in London last spring. The refresh has a friendlier price tag at $128, in exchange for a few less sequins (but still enough for sufficient sparkle). Available in Black and Heather Dusk, we wonder if we might see Mrs. O in this cardigan again?

Also, last night marked the season finale of one of our favorite shows this fall: The Rachel Zoe Project. And just when we thought we couldn't be a bigger fan, Rachel Zoe professed her love for the first lady in an interview (thanks stylishgurl for the link). Speaking with NBC, RZ said: "I'd love to dress Michelle Obama ... because I'm obsessed with her." We love everything about this, so it makes our wish list too!

Another highlight of the season finale was an appearance by Mr. Derek Blasberg of V Magazine. Derek contributed to our upcoming Mrs. O book, conducting and editing several of the featured interviews with fashion greats such as Andre Leon Talley, Michael Kors and Thakoon Panichgul. His contribution to the book was wonderful, as was his cameo last night. Hooray!
