How Michelle Obama Spent Her Week - Jet lag? What jet lag? Almost as soon as First Lady Michelle Obama was wheels down on U.S. soil after a whirlwind visit to the Olympic Games, she was wheels up again and back on the campaign trail. Obama also is scheduled to pay another visit to late-night host Jay Leno. —Joyce Jones (Photo: REUTERS/Charles Dharapak/Pool)

Fit for a Queen - Buckingham Palace is a must-see for most visitors to London, however, few get past the gates, never mind the guards — unless you're America's first lady, that is. On July 27, Obama attended a reception for heads of state and government in town for the Olympics. She is pictured here with U.S. Ambassador Louis Susman. Her skirt and jacket are by J.

How Much? - The price tag of the cap-sleeve "white viscose techno crepe tailored jacket with overlapped side panels and silver embroidery" that Obama wore to a reception at Buckingham Palace before the Olympics Opening Ceremony caused a bit of a stir. The jacket, part of the J. Mendel 2013 resort collection, retails for $6,800. (Photo: Dominic Lipinski - WPA Pool/Getty Images)

The More You Learn... - Sharing the path that she and her husband took to success often is used by the first lady to show voters that they've experienced struggle and feel their pain, but the president's education policies offer a way out of hardship. "Education was everything in our family," she said at a fundraiser in western Massachusetts last Friday. "It was our ticket to the middle class, our path to the American dream."(Photo: Courtesy of BarackObama.com)
