O-Style: For anyone who wants to truly follow Michelle Obama’s style choices there’s been one go-to site, Mrs-O.org. Now, blogger Mary Tomer’s got her own book on the First Lady that looks to be equally well-done.

Our first thought when we saw this photo: weird. American Apparel introduces: Kids Shiny Leggings. AA is known for some out-there products (slashed leggings, all-mesh dresses) but their selection of kids clothes has been pretty tame until now.

Is American Apparel expanding into shoes? If this ad for AA looking for people with shoe manufacturing experience on Boston’s Craigslist is to be believed, it looks like we can all expect wannabe Keds and Pumas from them sometime soon.
