I recently was given the opportunity, compliments of Express, to select one of their new items of the season, and without hesitation, I went for this Dreamweight Cotton Long Tank in STUDDED ,$39.50. I can already tell its going to be a sell out for them — Nikki Hilton was spotted wearing it! I love the way that the studs (well rather well-sewn raised, single sequins) are patterned, and the jersey is a nice soft rich fabrication that lensd an aire of sleek sophistication to this edgy look. Since the dress pretty much gives you as much bling as you will ever need, pair down your jewelry to clean lines in a palette of silver and go for shoes that are black, nude, or taupe. I may borrow from Nikki’s style and pair it with a biker jacket, but other than that, you don’t need to do much accessorizing. Just one question remains: Who wears it better – me or Nikki Hilton? Never mind — don’t answer that!!! 🙂

Fashion Pulse Stylist: Michelle Obama
For important events, we think Michelle would look fabulous in this Michael Kors Gardenia Floral dress, $1,895, from NET-A-PORTER. Purple is a great color for her, and she has already proven she can rock any print. For a classic look with a twist, we equally love this Temperley London Purdey Dress, ($1,295, also NET-A-PORTER). For inauguration day we think the perfect pick for the First Lady would be this Carolina Herrera Aubergine Pleated Dress ($2,790, Neiman Marcus).
For everyday wear, we know Michelle loves J.Crew and has been spotted in brightly colored pants and form-fitting cardies, so we think these City-fit Luxe Trousers, $69.50, in saffron yellow, paired with the Victoria Ruffle Shirt,$89.50, both from J.Crew is the perfect mix of her classy but fun style. To top it off, we would add this Abstract Flower Pin ($22.50 Express) to show off her ability to skillfully accessorize. We also think the First Lady would look chic yet approachable in this It’s-My-Party Polka Dot Skirt ($168, Anthropologie) paired with the Robert Rodriquez Cashmere Cardigan ($216, Nordstrom). No word yet on weather the First Lady-Elect will request our stylist services, but either way, we think that when it comes to fashion, she can.
