First Lady Inauguration Style!

What will The First Lady Michelle Obama wear for Inauguration? It is every fashion designers dream to have the privilege to dress the first family, so who will take the honor? It will remain a big secret until Inauguration night! Our friends at WWD collaged from various designers whom they asked to propose an idea for the big night. Just take a look at these exclusive sketches. What is your favorite proposed look for Mrs. Obama, Malia and Sasha?

WWD reported that nearly 20 designers are believed to have sent clothes for this weekend’s festivities in response to requests from East Wing staffers. Those names include Michael Kors, Derek Lam, Naeem Khan, Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Bibhu Mohapatra, Thakoon Panichgul, Tracy Reese, Chris Benz, Tory Burch, Narciso Rodriguez, Zac Posen, Maria Cornejo, Thom Browne, Barbara Tfank and Laura Smalls. Odds are the first eight companies on that list are the more likely contenders to design the First Lady’s gown, but there very well may be other candidates.

While a few fashion insiders alluded to signed confidentiality agreements, one or two went so far as to refer to Mrs. O as “a client.” All of the industry sources contacted by WWD said they — like the rest of America — will not know what the First Lady decides on until she steps out for the Commander in Chief’s Inaugural Ball Monday night.

Rock 'n' Roll Style

Palette2Palate was extremely excited to be part of a private invitation to the Guitar Center induction ceremony of multi-platinum and Grammy winning Latin rockers MANA into the retailers’ historic RockWalk on September 17th in Hollywood California. Guitar Center’s Rockwalk is dedicated to honoring those artists who have made a significant impact and lasting contribution to the growth and evolution of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Blues, and R&B. Mana’s handprint will reside alongside accomplished musicians such as Johnny Cash, Van Halen, Eric Clapton and among numerous others.

What a great way to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month as Palette2Palate got to be part of this wonderful induction of one of Latin's favorite bands. Alex Gonzalez, Mana’s drummer said “If we can inspire future Latin musicians to achieve what Mana has done and they can have their hands in cement in the walk of fame, that would be a tremendous accomplishment for us.” Gonzalez also noted “ that he’d first come to that same Sunset Strip store with just $7 for spare drumsticks and now he’s becoming a permanent part of it.

Palette2Palate was so inspired with Mana’s Rock ‘n’ Roll music that we decided to showcase one of fall’s biggest trends “Black Leather” that will have you look like a Rock Star.

Blackberries are packed full of anti-oxidants and fiber, along with Vitamins C and K. They're also rich in Anthocyanins, the pigments found in many berries, which scientists from Clemson University say can help fight breast cancer cells.
