So… I am wondering what you all thought of Michelle Obama’s dress on Tuesday.  I frankly was surprised by her choice of this Narciso Rodriguez dress… I didn’t think that it was very photogenic, nor was it terribly appropriate.  She’s made great dress choices thus far, in my opinion,  but wasn’t too keen on this one.  What was your impression?

I love these two necklaces from Aurelie Bidermann that were featured on Style.com (very different from what’s up on her site at the moment).

These looks from Nyg?rds Anna absolutely capture the looks I’m going for this fall.  Lovely.

I love these two items from Mother Mother, a fair trade line out of Denmark.  Cute men’s things too.

I popped into West Elm in Portland’s Pearl district, and browsed around, as I’ve only seen their online store (though I’m told they DO have stores in California).  I fell in love with these:
