My daughter recently sent me some of her travel pics—she’s quite a talented amateur photographer. And this got me thinking about cameras and picture perfect style.

Well, ladies, she’s gone and done it again!

As reported at HuffingtonPost, our FLOTUS, Michelle Obama, resurrected two wardrobe items for public appearances this week including a floral-print Moschino suit first sported in 2009  and a black-and-gray Jonathan Saunders dress from Fall 2008 that she also wore to Sargent Shriver’s funeral this past January.

What’s interesting to me is that this is somehow news.

It’s the time of year when we all start making our lists and checking them twice, right?

Grocery lists for our menu on Turkey Day.

Shoppings lists for holiday gifts that we hope to pick up at sales on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
