    With the arrival of the Obamas in the White House, all eyes are on Washington, and it's not just our new president who's capturing our attention. Michelle Obama is demonstrating a true flair for fashion, and her individual style is garnering more than a few fans. With simple lines and beautiful tailoring, she brings to mind another first lady and fashion icon. Already we can identify some aspects of her signature style: her penchant for flats, Erickson Beamon floral brooches, belted dresses, and complexion-flattering jewel tones and pastels. For anyone who was left in doubt of her stylistic prowess, her Michelle Obama's inaugural gown cemented her place among the other formidable fashion mavens who have graced the White House. Check out the slideshow to see some pieces that exemplify the new Mrs. O's wardrobe.

    Fantastic Plastic! Vintage Fashionistas Love Bakelite Jewelry!

    Little girls might have plastic bracelets in their jewelry boxes, but we big girls aren't content with just any ol' plastic. No, we want the real deal and that means vintage Bakelite. Bakelite, like many scientific finds, was discovered by accident in 1907 and it soon became known as "the material of a thousand uses." It wasn't long, however, before designers discovered that this fire-resistant plastic, originally created for industrial purposes, was also perfect for bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pins. These stunning items are now highly collectible and can be quite addictive. But a word of warning: some of them carry very big girl price tags. Just click the SLIDESHOW to see the selection.

This classic sort of pin-me-on is all in the spirit of the old ways done in new ways. Vintage inspired, super modern, or surprisingly shiny, brooches are a fun and classy sort of way to add on a little extra something, but the best part is that you can put on as many as you want, move them around, and put them on whatever your heart desires.

    The day of the brooch is over. Been there. Done that. This spring try adding a touch of pizzazz with vintage animal and insect pins. They come in all shapes and sizes, both plain and fancy. These whimsical critters - think scorpions, pelicans, lobsters and salamanders - are sure-fire conversation starters. And they're not just for lapels. Pin one to a hat, a plain ol' clutch or a belt. Try one on a pocket or even a sleeve. They're fun little finds for vintage fashionistas!
