What a historical evening last night was!

President Barack Obama was all smiles as he took the stage at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois with his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama and their children Sasha and Malia after being reelected to be our POTUS for another four years! Obama came out as victor against Republican candidate, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney.

While our prez sported a lovely bright blue satin tie—I couldn’t help but be captured by Mrs. O’s beautiful magenta silk chine pintucked dress by Michael Kors. This knee-length brocade design flattered our First Lady’s toned figure to a T, and I really like how she paired it with a beautiful pink stone ornate brooch and a chic cropped open black blazer for a polished look while keeping warm in the chilly early November air. | continue reading..

Florence Welch had a full day of interviews backstage at Grant Park for the 2012 Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago this past Sunday afternoon, but it was quite the stylish press junket.

The Florence + the Machine front-woman sat down for chats with iHeart Radio and Fuse TV wearing a bold banana palm print maxi dress. This lapel-cut crossover dress, which comes from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Lisa Ho, featured short sleeves and a dramatic front slit in the floaty design. | continue reading..

After a fast international tour and a press junket in Los Angeles over the weekend, Ashley Greene hit the road with her “Twilight” co-stars Nikki Reed, Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, and Charlie Bewley for “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 1″ Concert Tour.

The tour allows fans of the vampire saga in cities across the country to listen to live music from the soundtrack artists — after the cast takes part in a Q&A. “A Thousand Years” singer, Christina Perri performed at this event.

Ashley arrived at the House Of Blues in Chicago last night wearing a sleeveless banded waist sheath dress by Giambattista Valli.

I have to honestly say this is probably my least favorite look for her on this promo tour. The dress is nice, but it just seems more like something I’d see first lady Michelle Obama in — it kind of ages Ash. Also, while the rest of the cast is wearing really nice, casual looks — Ashley sticks out like she’s on her way to (or just came back from) a cocktail party. | continue reading..

Good news for Twihards as cast members from “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ are currently on a cross-country mini concert tour with artists and bands from the movie soundtrack this week.

Last night Nikki Reed joined co-stars Ashley Greene, Jackson Rathbone, Peter Facinelli, and Charlie Bewley with singer Christina Perri (not pictured) at the House Of Blues in Chicago.

Nikki arrived in a cropped black jacket by Vanessa Bruno that was casually worn over a Topshop “Intense Floral Print” dress.

The jacket complimented the dress very well as the base of it was black too. I love the combination of red, muted gold, dark orange, and powder blue prints — it’s a perfect way to wear floral this season! | continue reading..
