It’s the battle of the first ladies, America v.s. France. Rumor has it that France’s Carla Bruni didn’t join her husband at the G20 summit “because she didn’t want to be overshadowed by Michelle Obama.” (Hey I don’t start the rumors, I just help spread them.) Well they met today in France. Michelle wore a floral print Thakoon coat and it’s predicted that Carla wore Dior again. {the CUT}

It’s pretty shitty out there in NYC today. But we’re gonna pop off the weekend right anyway ladies. Enjoy yourselves wherever you are! xo
