I've been a frequent visitor to this site since it started. I'm happy that politics have been put aside to focus on Mrs. O's fashion and style. This blog can be enjoyed regardless of one's race, religion, beliefs, or affiliation. Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year to everyone.

Luxurious and regal.
How lucky we are to have a beautiful first lady, she's not only stylish but is a very smart, hip woman, mother and wife. If we could have access to all designers that show Mrs. Obama wearing, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

So beautiful.
I love this site! I would adore the pin!
OMG
This is gorgeous, just like our First Lady!
Alexis Bittar is such a talented jewelry designer. I've seen many of his pieces in person, and I can understand why Mrs. O loves his stuff!
I find Michelle's taste in jewelry to be very good for the jewelry industry because she wears such a wide variety of items and makes them all look glamorous.
That is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for doing such a great job!
The Alexis Bittar gold dogwood pin is exquisite and would beautifully complement a black lace dress I have in mind.
I so enjoy the website, and am inspired by all of the creative and striking designs. Puts a smile on my face.
Thanks, and Happy New Year !
Michelle exudes confidence. We all should be proud to have a First Lady that is approachable, loving and confident in whatever she wears. Michelle has raised the bar for future First Ladies. She is an original and will always be remembered for changing the White House. I will love to meet her and tell her how proud I am of her being a wonderful wife and mother with values and class. Rock on with your bad self, First Lady Michelle L. Obama.
First time able to post in 3 weeks because I broke my dominant hand! Glad I found this in time. If I win this I will bring to an old friend in Yakima, WA who is turning 100 on January 21 and I am trekking across the mountains (live in Seattle) to celebrate with her family! (Then I'll hope to get into her will to receive it back SOME day!)
i WOULD BE PROUD TO WEAR THIS PIN. /sHE WEARS BEAUTIFUL JEWELRY. Lois Neff
Love it!
I have worn pins all my life and this one is gorgeous!
Thank you for posting the fashions of our beloved Mrs. O! She has been a stunning fashion staple and outstanding civil servant and First Lady! This was hard to vote for. I loved Khan, two piece ford?/sorenson, and vera wang but my heart burst into joyous tears seeing her in the Ralph Lauren Classic with Mr. President Obama. They make a handsome first couple and make us so proud!
This is simply beautiful as is the FL and your site! All so very lovely!
