President + First Lady

I have seen this on the web so often I had to share it =)

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.

Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, why was he so interested in talking to you. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant”, to which Michelle responded, “no, if I had married him, he would now be the President.”

The Earnest Sewn Co. Colors Outside the Lines

“The neon pink! It offers a more feminine approach to the denim market.” And the runner up? “Bright Orange; it’s the original thread accent color Earnest Sewn has used since day one. But the kelly green is pretty cool too.”

Heel Game: K James Couture Shoes Coming to LA

Need to step your shoe game up? K James Couture  shoes have created quite the buzz in LaLa Land quickly securing a position as one of the hottest up and coming shoe lines to hit the L.A. scene. K James Couture is created and handmade by designer Kate Ferguson, who has designed for numerous pop stars and celebrities alike. Ferguson’s approach is to produce one-of-a-kind heels every woman can feel confident in (I like the concept already). In addition, prices vary upon design and number of stones used for each pair, however not to worry as each pair is distinctive in stone and price, K James Couture assures there is a pair that fits everyone’s pocket book.

The designer explains,”My philosophy behind K James Couture is one that’s inspired by the evolving and ever-changing fashion world. I love creating beautiful, ‘walking art’ exhibits. Designing is my passion and hand applying the stones is therapeutic for me. I truly enjoy making each pair so that it’s unique and truly one-of-a-kind. I look forward to successfully delivering a beautiful and comfortable product to the public.”

K James heels have already been spotted on celebrity fashionistas like Katy Perry and Vanessa Curry. As if you needed more reason to strut in K James each pump is encrusted with Swarovski crystals!
