I just got a a hold of these videos that feature Patricia Field, the stylist from Confessions of a Shopaholic (not to mention Sex and the City!), giving commentary on the styles she chose for Rebecca Bloomwood (Isla Fisher's character).
 
The Bright Yellow Jacket: Rebecca Bloomwood rocks tons of bold, bright colors and patterns... listen to Pat's commentary on her selection and then get your own when you raid Rebecca's closet.

All ears may have been tuned in to President-Elect Barack Obama's Inauguration speech yesterday, but all eyes were on the styles seen on new First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Lady Jill Biden. 

Michelle dazzled the crowd in her canary-yellow Isabel Toledo dress and classic Jimmy Choo olive-green pumps, Jill Biden looked red-hot in a crimson coat and knee-high stretch black boots. I'm going to let you in on a little secret: DSW Shoes (dsw.com) offers the exact same Jimmy Choo heels chosen by the new First Lady and Style Icon Michelle - at a price that doesn't require a Presidential paycheck.  In addition, they offer olive green pumps to fit any budget such as the Ann Marino Reilly Reptile Pump in Green for $49.95 at dsw.com. 

 

Those looking to snag Jill's look will have their choice from a wide variety of styles including Diba Marmot Stretch Book for $69.95 or the Carlos by Carlos Santana Stare Crinkle Patent Boot for $119.95.

 

Felix Mercado, Celebrity Fashion Stylist/Expert, from Say it With STYLE says, "What does wearing the color yellow say about Michelle Obama's mood? "

* Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. While it is considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. It is the most difficult color for the eye to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. Yellow enhances concentration, hence its use for legal pads. It also speeds metabolism!

* Yellow is the color associated with mental processes, and with the ego self, or personality self as it is sometimes called. Yellow could occur when studying for a test, thinking hard about a problem or struggling with insecurity and/or puffed up pride.

Seems like Michelle Obama has put a considerable amount of thought into the color she chose to wear for the first day of what is the next chapter in her book of life. With her husband taking on what has been called "worst economy in history" and the woes of the world in the state its in... it appears the psychology behind the the New First Lady's fashion choices will mirror her position.

Dressed in a matching two piece number, "Lady O" will be sincere with her relationships, soft in her approach but confident with the decisions she will make as the new First Lady.

She's off to a great start!
