Michelle Obama was snapped this week wearing this £35 shirt from the ASOS Africa range. ASOS donate £5 from every item sold from the ASOS Africa collections to enable SOKO in Kenya to build a new workshop and ASOS match each purchase with an additional £5.
ASOS told UK Vogue this morning: "As a British fashion brand, with global online reach, we are thrilled at ASOS to have Michelle Obama - someone who continues to be a great ambassador for fashion - flying our flag abroad.
ASOS Africa is our dedicated ethical collection, now in its third season and produced in Kenya by 25 local craftspeople to help empower the community, so it feels very appropriate to have the First Lady wearing it whilst doing valuable humanitarian work in South Africa.”
You can dress it up a la Mrs Obama or down like the model, and at only£35 it’s kind on the pocket and the makers.

Michelle Obama in H&M!
Despite having the world’s couture houses probably on speed dial, Mrs O kept it real last night in a £25 frock from H&M for a TV appearance on The Today Show in the US.
She made some adjustments to the in store version – longer sleeves and a wider belt - perhaps for a more modest look.
On the show she said of her status as a fashion icon: 'I take it as a compliment, but it's not something I focus on. Everybody's got to get dressed in the morning and put on something. I hope people find it nice.'
We certainly do!

Michelle Obama Scores Fashion and Political Points
Firstly yes - there is more to Mrs Obama than her wardrobe. But we aren’t writing for The Economist, so we’re going to stick to what we know!
She cut quite the dash in an Alexander McQueen Resort 2011 red petal print silk organza gown at a State dinner for the People’s Republic of China at the White House.

Guests included Anna Wintour and Vera Wang so we’re sure she thought long and hard about what she’d wear that evening. Red is the colour of happiness and prosperity in China; we doubt she chose a dress this colour by accident!
Similar looks by the label go for over £5,000 but unfortunately, our pockets are not as deep.
We're rather fond of these though:
 |
| Stella McCartney. £2,245 |
Love this. Can't afford it, but do love it!
 |
| Notte by Marchesa. £648. |
Silk crepe organza dress. Now we need to be invited somewhere fitting, to justify our spending this much.

Michelle Obama munched down a cheeseburger and fries? Really?
Weasel Zippers chides: Queen Michelle Takes a Break From Lecturing Americans on Eating Healthy Just Long Enough to Scarf Down a Cheeseburger and Fries…
Liberty Pundit: When you’re committed to eating healthily, it is a way of life. No different than being or not being a smoker, a drinker, a fast driver, or a farmer that uses excess chemicals.
This girl is just a liar. A prop. Filling a perceived role.
Politico reports that President Obama often uses a "Don't tell Michelle" line when he travels on the road and eats fast food.
But the first lady — known for her healthful eating initiatives — had her own fast-food moment while on the road in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Michelle Obama stopped at Miss Katie's Diner and had a cheeseburger and fries, according to TMJ4, a local NBC affiliate.

As with most Lib Politicos and their wives , it’s always do as I say, not as I do.
