Rainer and Atticus Meet Michelle Obama

Oh my goodness, I just love these two paired with the first lady. Please note Mrs. O's ah-mazing dress!

Saluting the Summer Athletes

The president and first lady hosted a reception to honor the 2012 U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams on the South Lawn of the White House today. For the occasion, Mrs. O wore a turquoise sheath dress paired with a multi-colored beaded necklace. Simple and chic as summer comes to an official close.

Update: Mrs. O wears a dress by Narciso Rodriguez. 

Mrs. O in Duro Olowu

The first lady made campaign stops in Virginia yesterday, visiting the University of Mary Washington and the Ron Rasner YMCA in Fredericksburg, Virginia. For the appearances, Mrs. O wore a Duro Olowu multi-print dress, previously seen here and here, paired with marigold yellow heels. This dress has certainly earned its status as a "first lady favorite" and makes a great transitional piece between seasons.

Remembering 9/11

The president and first lady marked the 11th anniversary of 9/11 with a moment of silence at the White House today, followed by visits to the Pentagon Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Throughout the day, Mrs. O wore a custom Peter Som ensemble from Fall 2010.

Campaign Chic

The presidential campaign is in full effect. On the heels of the Democratic National Convention, the president and first lady, joined by the Bidens, made campaign stops in New Hampshire and Iowa today. For the appearances, Mrs. O wore a sleeveless navy shirt dress, belted at the waist. Dr. Biden also looked sharp as usual, wearing a draped neck cap sleeve dress in green.
