Hello! Lovely to meet you!
Welcome friends! Lovely to have you here. So where exactly is "here"? And what on earth is a ThinkerBelle? "Here" is a blog space on all things that interest this little strategist, namely design, social media and technology. I like to think that "ThinkerBelle" (my strategist persona) lives at the intersection of these three domains. I hope you enjoy this space, please comment and don't be a stranger. I appreciate you being here. Follow me in the tweetverse if you like @thaz7. Stay groovy.

first lady of style.
We look to the leaders of our country to lead fearlessly and inspire a nation. And behind every great man, stands a great woman. Not going to lie: I hate that phrase. Because every woman, every mother knows that they do not stand behind. They stand fearlessly alongside. Betty Friedan moments aside, the First Lady of the United States plays an important political and moreover social role in the public eye. She is a role model and softer side of the hard realities of politics.

Jackie O may be considered the consummate first lady. Poised, articulate, and every sense of the word, a lady. Her style is legendary and still imitated and emulated by women around the world. The perfect sunglasses, scarf and conservatively stylish dresses. She had a quiet sense about her, loving to with her children and husband, compassionate with those around her. She was a role model in the face of adversity. She gave a nation hope when hope was all but nonexistent.

Enter 2009 and our newest first lady, Michelle Obama. For the first time, arguably since Jackie O, there is a true icon of strength, grace and style in our first lady. Her positivity is infectious. Her style is undeniable. In a time of economic unrest, she unabashedly wears the same thing twice; ditches the stogy St. John suits of her predecessors in lieu of simple J.Crew basics. She supports young American designers, making household names of designers like Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo. The nation is riveted by her every fashion choice. Her H&M dress sold out in hours after her wearing it. Out of this fascination, the brilliant website http://mrs-o.org/ was created. Check it out. And then try to grab one of Mrs. O’s most fabulous dresses or flats.
