Designers’ Sketches for Michelle Obama for the Inauguration

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

WWD Fashion asked designers to send in sketches for clothing designs for Michelle Obama and her daughters to wear on Inauguration Day on January 20th – when Obama officially becomes President. Check out the results at WWD.com.

The sketch above was done by Isaac Mizrahi for Michelle, Sasha and Malia.

My daughter and I enjoyed watching the slide show together and picking out the dresses we liked best!

Cherry Blossom Festivals Around the World

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

In previous entries I talked about the importance of Cherry Blossoms in Japan.

In 1912 the mayor of Tokyo gave a gift of 3000 cherry trees to the city of Washington D.C., thus spreading the love of cherry blossom viewing to North America.
Nowadays, Washington D.C. hosts the National Cherry Blossom Festival. I’ve been there and it was really beautiful to see a mass of cherry blossoms in bloom.

Below are links to some Cherry Blossom Festivals Around the World. If you know of any others, please comment below.

Here’s a great photo my friend Ray Lee took. He was looking at the Washington Monument from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

Thanks for sharing your photo Ray!
