When I saw the First Lady's ensemble yesterday I thought first, "Fabulous!" and then "Eureka!" the perfect post for today as I have an old layout of Isabel and Ruben Toledo's loft.
No, not the one from the Times. I had originally thought House & Garden, but in examining the fonts (desperate and crazed people do these kind of things) I thought not. Vogue, maybe. But the long and short of it was that I could only find this one page. This one tattered page that I had kept in a separate file because she is wearing a pair of Ted Muehling earrings that I am quite sure I would wear every day if I owned them. I searched for hours. Well, a really long time. 
So I cannot offer you what I was sure would be the Holy Grail of design blog/fashion connection. Instead, I will send you to Vogue for the slide show of another designing couple, Alexandra and Michael Misczynski and hope for better blog karma tomorrow.

I love this blog and your insights Mrs.B
Great minds think a like! I also posted a spread from the Toledo's home that I had saved and loved from New York Magazine. The tear sheets that you have posted are from Harper's Bazaar.
Leah and Heather - thanks for helping me source the images - I wish I'd hung onto the lot.
I love that picture of Isabel...she looks so regal!
He also illustrates,

The Misczynski slideshow of their family and design work is perfect! Then Isabel, what can I say, what a talented beauty!
I love this post! And I love The First Lady's coat and dress (and shoes and gloves).
Please go to my blog and leave me a message on one of the Obama posts.
I'm using those posts as my archive and scrapbook, a memory poem to the day, and I would so much love if you would be a part of it.
