New York Fashion Week took a West Coast sun vibe on The Empire Hotel Rooftop as Nautica debuted its Men’s Spring 2012 Collection. Inspired by a California Road Trip, Nautica did just that by featuring cargo and board shorts for the beach, as well as light layers in nylon for the evening breeze. Wool blazers and cotton trench coats paired with v-neck sweaters were a great addition to the collection, as the warm neutrals complemented the bright summer colors, such as watermelon and shades of blue in a completely perfect way! American prep truly takes on a cool and casual Cali look with Nautica come the spring weather of 2012.

I’ll admit it — even though I like Jason Wu, he was totally off of my radar for this one. Not one of my top five picks made it, but that’s okay -Isabel Toledo is fabulous and I appreciate The First Lady picking the incredibly talented designer, along with Mr. Wu. People have been dissing the pale yellow inauguration dress, but I think close-up it is stunning. For the inauguration ball, the Jason Wu gown had a very of-the-moment one shoulder cut, but wasn’t too tight or revealing. The First Lady is proving that she has a discerning eye for the perfect mixture of classic meets contemporary style, and isn’t afraid to try out new designers. Brava for Michelle Obama!

As the inauguration creeps around the corner, I thought would be fun to look at the sketches commissioned by WWD and pick my five favorites (out of 40 sketches) that I think Michelle should wear. Why? Because who knows? She may be a Fashion Pulse Daily follwer, that’s why!

Pick #1: Diane von Furstenberg — what’s more American than a wrap dress?
Pick #2: Monique Lhuillier –the vibrant red hue and silken layers would look amazing against her complexion.
Pick #3: Marc Jacobs — this tulip-esque silhouette will give the First Lady a slight fashion forward edge at the ball.
Pick #4: Oscar de la Renta — he proves over and over again that he is truly the best at gowns!
Pick #5: Zero Maria Cornejo — She’s already a fave of Mrs. Obama’s – she really understands how to compliment a figure while displaying a disctinctive design.
Which is your favorite? Write a comment and let me know!
