Michelle Obama Fashion Guide
Photo courtesy of AP. Michelle Obama on 60 Minutes. Will this look make the yet to be named Michelle Obama style guide?

There are already plans for a book to be written about first lady-elect Michelle Obama's fashion sense. Avon Books, an imprint of Harper Collins, announced today that fashion writer, Mandi Norwood will write a yet to be named paperback dedicated to Obama's style. The book will include design sketches and tips on how to achieve Obama's colorful, yet well-tailored look.  Obama is known for mixing high and low looks from H&M and J.Crew to Thakoon and Narciso Rodriguez.

On Sunday night, Obama  joined her husband,  president elect Barack Obama on 60 Minutes!. She wore a sleeveless, tailored deep purple dress. Her ropes of black and white pearls sparkled. And her makeup - especially the violet eyeshadow -  was flawless. I'm working this moment trying to figure out who designed the dress. The book is due out in April 2009. Should be a voracious read for fashionistas. Would you read a book on Michelle Obama's style? Will Obama supercede Jacqueline Kennedy O'Nassis as America's most stylish the first lady? What do you think she'll wear to the Inauguration?

About Elizabeth Wellington
I’m a Libra so I’m all about pretty things. We of the scales sign know what we like, and our standards are high. So I can’t help but love fashion – one day I will get that Diane von Furstenberg wrap and those Christian Louboutin shoes. And fragrances? My favorite right now is Chanel Mademoiselle. As for makeup, can we say MAC? So let’s thank the Greek goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, that a true fashionista can find everything she needs right here in Philly. I’ve covered fashion here for six years, and I have traveled to New York, Los Angeles and Paris to write about local and national designers. Let me tell you, there is no place where people wear midnight Eagles green or Phillies red with such wild abandon as they do on the west side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Sound familiar? This blog is for you.
