Michelle Obama wears Rachel Roy at State Of The Union Address . . . . And it's not to please Oscar de la Renta

While President Obama addressed America with his State of the Union Address last night, fashionistas were googling and twitting to find out which designer Michelle Obama was wearing. A silver gray sheath dress donned with tasteful lucite bracelet bangles was a perfect choice for the fashionable Mrs. O, with its' somber color tone as she sat with the family of Christina Taylor Green who was killed in the Tuscon, Arizona shooting. The First Lady was criticized by Oscar De La Renta for her Alexander McQueen gown she recently wore to the State Dinner of visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao. His position is that Michelle Obama should have worn an American designer instead of promoting European/UK designers.

It is therefore no surprise, that all eyes were on her tonite, to see what designer she chose to wear, which was not revealed until after the Presidents' speech via @AP_fashion & @rachel_roy on twitter. Though Oscar de la Renta's critique is, the First Lady wear an American designer for that night, should it not have been an Asian designer instead? The reason being that since Chinese President Hu Jintao visit is to promote growth and US relations, the First Lady should have worn an Asian designer, if Mr. de la Renta wants to make a point. It makes no sense for his argument because Michelle Obama really doesn't have a political motive for her fashion choices. Her choice tonite is not a political one either because Rachel Roy is an American designer. She has worn Roy's clothes before to other public events like a State Visit with her husband to India last year.

We love you Mrs. O for being a 'Tru Fashionista Now' because of your love for fashion and your choices of not following in the blueprint of other First Ladies like the great Jackie O. Being a Tru Fashionista Now, is someone who has their own interpretation and sense of style; color, silhouettes, designer and creativity and you have certainly made your mark in the fashion world with youe choices. Are you a true fashionista now?

The Belle Epoque Spring Collection 2011 is fearless, tireless and moving forward.

Did you know that 62% of American women wear size 12 and up? The Belle Epoque Spring Collection for 2011 is ready to fill that void for many beautiful full figured women around the US. I am not surprised by the debut of this collection for the many plus sized women, who for many years have complained they have been overlooked in today's fashion world. Come Spring 2011, there will be many options to choose from, as the Belle Epoque collection for 2011 captured the beauty and elegance acknowledged as;..."the Golden Age",... by Zahir Babvani;VP of Design and Galina Monaco; Designer, both of OneStopPlus.com. While in attendance I overheard one of the coordinators say; 'I am so proud of this moment, I could cry'. The show began on a very high note with draped dresses some asymmetrical with beautiful hues of peach, lemon and blue for spring. The collection transitioned into other draped and sheath dresses, trousers, cardigans and blouses but this time with beautiful hues of aquatic blues of lace. It continued on to two other themes of denim and cargo which comprised of shirt dresses, capris, shorts, jumpers, blazer and trench coats which are all essentials for a one's spring wardrobe. The show ended on a glittering high note of gold guilded gowns, tea dresses, maxi skirts and bouquet dresses. In attendance, were Gabourey Sidibe, Toccara Jones and Whitney Thompson. As you can see, the full figured gal need not worry for fashion options come Spring 2011, because she is fearless, tireless and always moving forward, a motto that OneStopPlus.com also represents.
