Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen want Michelle Obama to wear The Row

Success has followed them from Hollywood to New York City, next Stop D.C.?

Profiled in the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen make it apparent that they have successfully made the move from Tinseltown to Uptown. In just 3 short years the Olsen duo have created a line that is worn by familiar faces such as Heidi Klum, Jessica Biel, and Charlize Theron. Aside from the starlets of Hollywood, the sisters hope to have the opportunity to dress the first lady herself, Michelle Obama. In the interview with Harper’s Bazaar they went on to say,

““I’d love to get Michelle Obama in the Row. The simple suits and things. It’s all made in America, so why not?”

If Michelle were to choose a collection from The Row to rock, the Fall 2010 would be it. Usually known for their bohemian-grunge fashion, Mary-Kate and Ashley took a new minimalist approach for the upcoming season. Neutral colors and beautifully fitted jackets can be seen in their Fall Preview as well as dresses for all occasion. A fresh line, made in America, tailored to perfection, I am going to have to agree with the Olsen’s on this one, and ask the First Lady, why not?

the 5 finger shoe

Has anyone else came in contact with the Vibram Five Fingers? Last weekend at a poker party I found myself sitting between two 30 year-old men both sporting a pair of these odd shoes.


As I tried to write a description on these I figured it would be best to quote the website....

"The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised. That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception."

Don't get me wrong I love being barefoot but am not quite sure I could ever sport these bad boys, could you?
