My Bubbling readers it’s exciting times…
President Obama was officially sworn in today as POTUS for four more years. The Inaugural Ball is tomorrow, and Mrs. Obama is sporting bangs as a fresh entrance into 2013 and prepping to look good for festivities ahead. Whether you voted for him or not, we still have to pray for our President and his family. He is making very important decisions for our country. Okay, I am off of my platform now, and onto Michelle Obama’s bangs.
Bangs can be hard to take care of. However, I am sure that Mrs. Obama’s stylist goes along with her; so taking care of the new look should not be a problem. I always thought that Mrs. Obama looked youthful and I think this look is fresh and different. If she doesn’t want to wear the bangs one day she always comb her bangs to the side or sweep her hair up in a chignon and part her bangs in the middle, the styles are endless.

The Inaugural ball is tomorrow and I wanted to share some of my top three pics that I think would look lovely on the First Lady.
1. Naheem Khan
This beaded chiffon gown makes a stunning entrance. I could see her dancing the night away in it. Naheem Khan’s designs have been seen quite a few times on the First Lady so it may be at ball.

2. Zac Posen
I simply love the way the deep pink color of the dress below lights up a face. Mrs. Obama would look so gorgeous in this dress. I am so a stickler for clothes fitting a woman correctly and this dress fits in all the right places.

3. Michael Kors
This Michael Kors ruched one shoulder silk gown is a show stopper. All eyes would be on the First Lady, the color of this gown is the pantone color of the year. This gown is so figure flattering because it would show Mrs. Obama’s fit arms and would cinch her in at the waist and then the dress would flow so romantically. The amulets on each arm of the model is to chic however Mrs. Obama could wear a tahitian pearl necklace and wear her hair up in a chignon or high bun.

I really see beautiful clean lines in each of these gowns and I know they would flatter Mrs. Obama beautifully.
What do you think she will wear to the Inaugural Ball?
Stop the presses, I keep coming back to this gown. It’s mesmerizing, so gorgeous.

Hi Elegant Friends,
Hope you had an awesome weekend and a fabulous Monday!
I ask the question, “What does it mean to be in love forever? To share a bond that will never separate.” Is it easy? No! Is it worth it? Most certainly yes.
Having God as the center of our relationship I know is the key.
I put these questions in your mind because my hubby and I went to a friend’s wedding this weekend. The couple was renewing their wedding vows after 30 years of marriage. Totally awesome! The couple looked so grand. A highlight was when their son came down the aisle with shades on, a cell phone and a briefcase in his hand labeled ring security. That was really cute, he was really looking like a secret service agent.
The wedding reception was beautiful also, the talented husband and family of musicians. It was a privilege to attend such a special occasion.
Everybody was line dancing and having a lot of fun.
I get questions often on what to wear to occasions like this one. I love to dress up, however I like to be comfortable yet chic at the same time. I wore black and white which can be typical. However, I kicked it up a notch by adding a contrasting of color in my tights.
I enjoyed wearing this outfit it is breath of fresh air. Would you believe I have on a dress with a close fit to the body cardigan? I constantly say get pieces of clothing that work for you in your wardrobe.
If you wear black or monotone, add an eye-popping tight to your ensemble , completely changing the game.

Hello My Elegant Readers,
I know many of you, as well as I, cannot wait to see the first episode of Season Three of Downton Abbey premiering on your local PBS station on Sunday, January 6th. (Check your local listings for the time in your area.)
The exquisite manor house, the sprawling estate, and the intriguing characters with their elegant costumes has made this the must-see series on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater for the last two years. Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey, interwove in the major events of the 1910s into his story-line. From the sinking of the Titanic, to World War I to the Spanish Influenza epidemic, Fellowes and his production team expertly told these stories and accurately brought the fashions of the time-period into the first two seasons. Their work garnered several Emmy nominations for costume designs.
Season 3 picks up where Season 2 left off. The First World War has ended and the Roaring 1920s are in full swing. I cannot wait to see how the fashions evolve into the new decade.
%CODE1%
To see the changes in fashion in the series really brings back my days of studying costume history. If you really would like to get a sample of how women in fashion changed through the years, then this show is for you. The story line is captivating with the on-again, off-again romance of the Crowley sisters. And the fashions will draw your eyes in for more.
This is one of my favorite costumes from Downton Abbey on Sybil in Season 2, one of the three Crowley sisters. This is the first glance of a lady at Downton Abbey wearing pants. Oh my gosh! Oh yes, she’s wearing pants. They almost look like harem pants, so chic.
