When temperature is still dropping and  global warming is hitting us, on the other hand to some fashion lovers especially celebrites, it is great time to put their the statement winter coat on another level – yes it’s time to put on the fur (faux) in icy cold winter!

If you are doing Christmas or New Year shopping, you can find different kinds of fur (faux) items everywhere , so as on celebrities! From the Isabel Marant Fall 2009 fur coat on Victoria Beckham, to fur gilets on Nicole Richie, Kim Kardashian and Fergie, these fashionable celebrities opt for different style of fur coat or jackets to keep the chilly days warm and stylish! But among all, model Pixie Geldof ’s Eskimo look with weavy giant grey  fur is definitely making a winter fashion statement!

I am sorry that if you are anti- fur and animal lover, then guess this fashion post may upset you… While fashion lovers you may also wanna know that fur fashion is popular in 2009 Fall which Viktor & Rolf, Antonio Berardi, Jean Paul Gaultier, Isabel Marant and Yigal Azrouël are featuring fur items on the runways… and to me no matter what kind of people we are, guess we all hope that the weather will get a bit warmer soon, though the fur items look nice, who would like to stay in such chilly weather for long…right?

We all know that the First Lady Michelle Obama is a new fashion icon, but her fashion choice not only elegant and pretty, she also shows sophistication, appropriateness and thoughtfulness. chose to wear a gleaming silver-sequined, nude-colored strapless silhouette gown by Naeem Khan to the first state dinner with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife Gursharan Kaur.

Though Michelle Obama hasn’t choose to wear traditional sari-style dress which the India’s First Lady would wear, Michelle Obama makes a smart fashion choice and make herself standout by choosing a beautiful, well embellished with regal style  gown specially made and designed by the Indian-born, U.S.-based designer Naeem Khanseem, which is a very thoughtful and  appropriate selection to pay respect to the Indian political guest. Again Mrs. Obama ’s fashion becomes not just a fashion issue, but a global talk !

The stack of bangle bracelets on her wrist and dangling earrings make her look so chic and Indian! With the beaning on the dress and beautiful floral embellishment, Michelle Obama looked radiant!

Naeem Khan told CNN’s Larry King that his goals were to dress the First Lady in something “Indian, chic, simple but very glamorous.”

In fact Naeem Khan is no stranger to helping women make a grand entrance; he has become a fixture on the Hollywood red-carpet circuit, dressing Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Katherine Heigl and even Queen Noor of Jordan. Mrs. Obama’s gown took three weeks at the designer’s family workshop in India — with 40 people working on it — to complete, Khan said.

No wonder she looks so perfect! A First Lady who knows how to use fashion with her wisdom to impress her people and the world , and bring fashion to a political level , I believe no one would doubt that Michelle Obama is ex-ordinary !

First it was the Matthew Williamson antique beaded vest, which beautifully matched with Chanel jewel necklace,Joie Pleated Silk Tank ( $154.00) and  Bottega Veneta Ostrich Bag. I love this outfit except the blue skirt.
