F/W 2010, Melbourne Fashion FestivalDon't feel like you have to send Sarah Palin any more hate mail than you already do. Believe it or not, the American flag-inspired trend has been slowly creeping it's way into couture without any help from the Republic Party. But don't thank Gaga. (If anyone, thank Catherine Malandrino for this creation launched in 2009 that -- unfortunately -- showed up on one too many red carpets.) Actually, don't thank anyone in fashion at all. Thank Obama.
A recent Pew Research Poll shows that the image of the United States has "improved markedly in most parts of the world," largely because of the high levels of global confidence and trust in Obama. Guess a little positive world view found its ways into the hearts and minds of popular culture. So, ladies. Turn on some Keith Olbermann, warm up some good old American apple pie, and relax wearing nothing but that flag in the attic you've been dying to wear. (Oh, and if you spot any guys wearing one of these or a pair of these, smack them upside the head for me!)

I would wear the converse flag shoes in a heartbeat!
I really kind of adore kat von dee's flag bag.
In moderation the flag could be implemented into some good looking styles. I do like those rings.
