Obsession Du Jour: Tiffany Keys

Aug 19, 2009 @ 2:00 pm

Inspired by keys from the Tiffany & Co. archives, these gold, silver and platinum pendants had us at hello. There is a perfect-fit key for every wallet with prices ranging from $100 to $10,000. Our personal favorite is the Quatrefoil (middle, left) with its gold clover-like design and just the right touch of sparkle.

What Do You Think of Michelle Obama’s Shorts?

Aug 19, 2009 @ 10:00 am

Michelle Obama is making waves again for showing some skin and it’s not about her arms, but her gorgeous gams. The First Lady’s choice to wear mid-thigh length shorts while vacationing spurred a Today show debate between Mary Tomer of Mrs-O.org and Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan. Tomer finds her shorts “appropriate” for vacationing at the Grand Canyon, but Givhan argues that when exiting Air Force One the First Lady should be prepared for the usually “formal photographs.”

Do you approve of the First Lady’s shorts? Vote at today.msnbc.com.

Street Style: Sienna Miller Steps It Up

Aug 19, 2009 @ 9:55 am

Sienna Miller has been heating up the red carpet lately, but yesterday’s street look in stuffy N.Y.C. is by far our favorite. Channel the G.I. Joe star’s chic summer style by pairing airy separates with of-the-moment oxfords (Urban Outfitters, $68), groovy round sunglasses (Topshop, $30), a beaded necklace (Forever 21, $11) and a bold red satchel (Topshop, $100).
