Inauguration

My boyfriend attempted to see the inauguration today. He had scored some fancy tickets, thanks to his Pelosi hook up (yay Carlos!) and he was stoked. So stoked that he woke up at 5 AM to get his booty down to the Mall. But alas -- the political gods must have been pissed at Mr. Garcia because, long story short, he never got in. He waited 5+ hours only to find out that they never opened his ticket section! Strange and totally sucky. Boo!

Sometimes life isn't fair, right?

On a different note -- who had heard of Isabel Toledo before today? She designed Michelle Obama's inauguartion outfit. Personally, I thought the color was reminicent of puke, but somehow Mrs. Obama pulled it off and looked pretty freaking amazing. And those fab Jimmy Choo patent shoes didn't hurt either. But the style award for best dressed family member of a president had to go to Malia and Sasha.



















Both girls were decked out in 100% J. Crew. They looked totally modern and cool...and absolutely adorable. I especially loved Malia's blue coat. The clothes were custom made for the little girls, but similiar pieces will be coming out in J. Crew's 2009 fall collection. But moms, you'll need to start saving now: J. Crew doesn't come cheap anymore, and every 10 year old girl needs a $300 coat, right?

i loved the toledo dress. i had heard of isabel during my single girl in nyc days and her stuff is amazing. the color, i thought was such a strong statement and an interesting way to demonstrate that generational change--no blue or red for this gal! what did you think of jason wu's gown?
