Since Jason Wu has been making headlines as of late for Michelle Obama wearing own of his dresses to the Inaugural Ball, I thought it was apropos to feature one of the most distinctive looks from his Spring/Summer 2009 collection. The play on sheer sheer sheer, and how it is treated so delicately without being revealing makes this dress truly a standout item. The soft green hue isn’t quite an emerald shade nor a spring green, hence this dress can both be worn in the winter and the spring seasons. The skirt’s layered aesthetic gives a fullness that creates shape, without adding weight to the body. I think The First Lady would certainly approve of this dress selection, although pairing it with more sensible shoes may be in order.

Get back into heavily dressing your wrists with wide, ethnic-inspired bangles and cuffs like these Hinged Cuffs by Kenneth Jay Lane, $80 each (were $100) at Vivre.com. Layer them together, or when one will a slew of other circular or chain bracelets. Don’t be afraid to make the look slightly more electic by mixing silver and gold. Unfortunately, add a whopping $25 for s&h.

The new, opulent Dolce & Gabbana color line is due in stores very soon, meanwhile Scarlette Johansson will appear in the collection’s debut advertising campaign, styled to envoke the quintessential sexpot Marilyn Monroe. Now, while I love Marilyn and think she is an incredibly beautiful woman, I’m getting a little tired of the constant Marilyn Monroe referencse in editorial spreads and ad campaigns. Why can’t Scarlett Johansson just be Scarlett Johansson? I think the thing that initially turned me off to this repetitive concept was the Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe photo spread for New York Magazine in February of 2008. I think this new color line looks fabulous and very Dolce & Gabbana, especially with the Mediteranean blue hues of shadow, but just question the ad direction — thoughts?

I just learned that Aveeno has broadened its product line and will launch a hair care line this spring. The Aveeno Nourish+Hair Care Collection will include seven shampoos and conditioners and one leave-in treatment. The products will retail for $6.49, and include categories that indicate its all about the nourishment, such as Nourish+Moisturize, Nourish+Revitalize, Nourish+Soothe, and Nourish+Volumize (this one is all me). Keep your eyes out for when the products hit the shelves in April.
