Michelle Obama and her footwear

First the shorts, then the shoes. What a summer Michelle's had.

Apparently, the fashion press made a stink over the Crocs she wore out for lunch on Martha's Vineyard last week. No, not the kind that my hubby wears. The newer, more sandal-looking kind, which I thought were perfectly fine and even cute for a beach vacation. (Ok, maybe not Martha's Vineyard, but whatever, she's Michelle Obama.)

She apparently made up for her Crocs-faux pas by wearing asymmetric black sandals by Maison Martin Margiela, who is known for modern shoe designs. Check them out in the picture. (Personally, I like the dress more than the shoes. And check out those arms!)

Andre Leon Talley says no to Crocs, yes to Uggs

I loved this little piece in New York Magazine about what Durham's Andre Leon Talley, editor at large at Vogue, says he wears when he gets home: Juicy Couture shorts, a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and Uggs.

When asked if he wore Crocs, he asked what Crocs were! (Really? He obviously has not seen my husband's closet.)
