From The Huffington Post: Rachel Roy has quickly become one of Michelle Obama's go-to designers, so when we spotted her on the Met Gala red carpet, we wanted to know exactly what it's like to clothe the first lady in her creations. Roy told HuffPost Style, "I've dressed her 20 times now and so that is such an honor for me, because it means that someone who is so heavily scrutinized feels comfortable and beautiful and strong in my clothing. But I also think that she's making a definite choice when she's picking young, American designers. And I really, thoroughly appreciate that support from her."

From StyleList: Attention young designers: Want to retire early? Get your clothes on Michelle Obama, ASAP! That's because the first lady is helping labels make a mint every time she flaunts their fashions.
A Harvard Business Review study by NYU professor David Yermack reveals that Mrs. Obama earned designer brands and the stores that sell them $2.7 billion from the 189 public appearances she made between November 2008 and December 2009, according to New York magazine.
Or, to put things in more simple terms, that's $14 million for a single public appearance.

From Hello Beautiful - When you wake up in the morning, the last thing you want to do is put on tight, uncomfortable clothes. As you stand in front of your closet, every possible unappealing outfit runs through your mind -- until you spot the leggings. Careful, though. Leggings can't be thrown together with every outfit! We all know that leggings are "in" and, moreover, that leggings are hot. But let's be honest, squeezing into a pair is not always easy.For many of us, leggings are an easy way out. When our pants and jeans are too tight, we count on our ever-faithful leggings to provide comfort and style. Leggings are meant to hide our insecurities and flaunt our positive features. The elasticity tightens your body, revealing your curves and muscles. However, it's really easy to wear leggings the wrong way and give off the wrong impression. Follow these simple tips and flaunt what you want!
