Winter Elegance Shoes

This weeks fashion trend is Winter elegance and with talk of more snow we think these 'Cinderella' White patent shoes are perfect evening footwear for this season. These shoes also come in black patent and can dress up simple outfits. A lady we've seen a lot of recently, who knows a thing or too about style is the new first Lady,Mrs Obama...

On a brand new page on the official White House website, the new First Lady is introduced to her public. "When people ask Michelle Obama to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate," it reads. "First and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha's mom."

At the inauguration of her husband on Tuesday, Mrs Obama had to be more things to more people than just a mom. As a metaphor for her husband's presidency, she had to represent change, hope, loyalty, feminism, charm, intelligence, and an end to the recession. And all she had to do this with was two frocks. Luckily, this is not a woman to shirk a challenge.

For the swearing-in parade, her look was perfect. The choice of Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo represented the openness of the new administration's foreign policy. The colour ("lemongrass") symbolised hope and freshness. Most of all, the ensemble said: I am so attractive I can still look good in acid yellow. It was the frock of an icon.

If the daywear was a success, however, the ballgown was a triumph. A nation sighed as the President introduced her: "First of all, how good-looking is my wife?" In an ivory silk chiffon gown by Jason Wu with organza flowers and Swarovski crystal rhinestones , she took on Jacqueline Kennedy's 1961 white ensemble and made it look like a dishcloth by comparison. America is in capable hands.

Aside from being a Princeton and Harvard scholar, a lawyer and a public servant, a successful First Lady must also be a fashion icon. This one has been practising. One Gap dress sold out hours after she was seen wearing it. A yellow dress from J Crew became the store's bestselling outfit of 2008 – despite the fact that nobody looks good in yellow.
