Tracy Reese Fall 2012 Runway Review & Fashion Show Photos

Tracy Reese fw 12
Tracy Reese fw 12 Runway Review: Tracy Reese gives us a colorful fall 2012 collection that balances strength with femininity with her use of punchy colors, large tropical prints, sturdy fabrics paired with draped silk, and silhouettes that accentuate the female shape. It's refreshing to see a fall collection that isn't dark and dreary, instead the saturated oranges, purples, aquas and yellows put a sunny spin on the cold months of the season. This line had some of the most wearable, flattering peplum shapes I have seen yet, because they are small and pieced in, more subdued so as to not appear like you have an extra 7lbs on your hips. The cropped peplum blazer and long, slim coats with a seam

Michelle Obama Wears Easter Yellow Tracy Reese Dress To Watch the Eggs Roll

The annual White House Easter Egg Roll is a family must for the little ones! I received a pr head's up about the 1950's inspired yellow floral Tracy Reese dress that First Lady Michelle Obama wore at yesterday's White House Easter Egg Roll. It got me thinking about our family trips to Washington, D.C. and our time at the annual event on the Great Lawn of the White House. For our time at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Bill and Hill made their entrance from a balcony. Janet Reno read from a children's book. Festive fun and a patriotic sense of oneness ensued. Somewhere, we still have the banner from the event and some other souvenir mementos from that

What First Lady Michelle Obama Wore- Marc by Marc Jacobs and Tracy Reese

Inbox Alert: Fashionable First Lady emails are still coming in like mad I've put a kibosh on reporting on what Mrs Obama has been wearing lately as I am : a) getting bored with the chronic pr emails about almost every bit of clothing that the First Lady wears and assume you are too. b) not always impressed with Mrs Obama's style as she gets more experimental and into a girlier mode, which I don't find as flattering on her figure asher signature clean chic crisp tailored pieces. c) would like the rest of the non-fashion media to spend some time focusing on her duties as a First Lady beyond her wardrobe. But never say never, as Michelle Obama selected
