Although yellow is typically a summer color, it's popping up all over the place this spring! Seeing as how yellow makes people happy, I'm ok with that. And did you know that when people are in a yellow room they even tend to eat and drink more? Nicole Richie, take note.

The color of the canary can be found in dresses, shoes, accessories and even makeup for the Spring 2008 season. Although in general, yellow supposedly looks better on cool skin tones, as long as you keep it in small doses anyone should be able to wear it -- as Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz have proved to us. The unexplainable duo wore matching yellow eye liner to a club recently. To try this look, get M.A.C.'s Golden Lemon pigment, or check out Sephora where they have another great shadow by Bare Escentuals, called Yellow Amber.

Clothing companies are rolling out the yellow products too. The GAP has an amazing pair of yellow Converse sneakers for only $40.00, while Steve Madden provides us with the perfect pair of yellow pumps to dress up any outfit for $99.95. Also making it into my favorites is a classic Marc by Marc Jacobs bag in yellow. Browse through the gallery to see pictures of all things yellow, including how men should add the color to their wardrobe (in a tie) and how I wish I could add it to my wardrobe (in an adorable, flower print, Marc Jacobs dress).

And in case you were wondering -- here is how NOT to do yellow. Poor KT Tunstall. Oh how I love her voice, and oh how I hate that dress! Let the bumble bee jokes begin...
