Life in Color
by Jesse Garba and Joe Lupo is a fun book designed to help you determine your color family and find your personal style. Think Color Me Beautiful for the 2000's, then get ready to determine warm or cool, deep or light. It breaks the colors up into Sun, Moon, Earth, or Star which are the old Color Me Beautiful's Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.The types of clothing styles have changed: Rather than classic, natural, romantic, gamine, dramatic, etc. this book has classic (of course), chic, whimsical, bohemian, and avante-garde (think dramatic). Interestingly, they suggest trying a style you like and working towards that, even it isn't what you "test" as.
I liked this book and found myself as a Sun/Bohemian. I am unsure of the sun, the only things that makes a sun/spring are my rosy cheeks, otherwise, I am an autumn. Finally, I don't like the bohemian look on me, I just test that way because I am so casual. I would muchpreffer a chic-whimsical look. But this book o.k.'s trying on a new look-it even encourages it. Fun book on one of my favorite topics.
I would have liked to see more information on wardrobe planning, since this has become more difficult as the matched suits of the 1980's are so out now.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 high heels.

Although, I really don't think I am a Sun...my hair and eyes are just too dark. I suppose I could be an Earth, but my fear is, I am a yucky cool-toned Star. Though I do like black.
