Wanna look like Megan Fox? Us too...

Don't know about you, but we're going a little batty in anticipation of spring. Personally, I'm dying to throw on a loose, airy t-shirt and some soft seventies-inspired denim. Thankfully we're picking up two lines that totally epitomize cool-girl spring style, and the best part is that they're arriving next week!!! Wildfox Couture and Seneca Rising are both Cali-based and crafted in the sexiest, breeziest materials and cuts imaginable. We're turning over a whole new leaf with these lines, and we're not the only ones who've taken notice. Here, photos of said cool-girls out and about in Wildfox and Seneca Rising. Get inspired, get giddy, and get in here before they're gone!

From top, L-R: Megan Fox in Wildfox, Wildfox Couture, Halle Berry in Wildfox, Kate Hudson in Seneca Rising, Beyonce in Wildfox, Kristin Cavallari in Wildfox, Sienna Miller in Seneca Rising, Allesandra Ambrosio in Wildfox, and Leighton Meester in Seneca Rising

And for the record, Allesandra: we recommend pants, but whatev!

Spotlight on...COLOR!

Maybe it's that we've finally had a few days of sunshine here in Missoula, maybe it's that we've been having so much fun putting together spring orders, or maybe we've just got a major candy craving...but we can't stop thinking about, gushing over, and feasting our eyes on photos of bright, colorful clothes spotted lately on our favorite TV shows and awards-season red carpets.  Just a few of the looks we're drooling over:

At left: Leighton Meester as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl in THREE of our current obsessions: shorts with tights, a fresh, flattering high-waisted silhouette, and a bright pop of flower-petal pink.  LOVE everything about this look.  If you're not a pink type of girl though (we usually shy away too) then take a cue from Elizabeth Olsen (yep, younger sis of Mary-Kate & Ashley). She gets it just right by pairing an unexpected orange scarf with her cozy neutrals.  Totally winter-appropriate, but with a twist.



Practicality aside, we have been loving the awards show coverage and the chance to fantasize about the amazing gowns, even if the closest we'll ever get to one is watching E! News.  Some of the actresses we feel nailed it with spring color:



 So inspired by 14-year-old (!!) Hailee Steinfeld's interpretation of this stripey Prada runway look. Super cute, and the black keeps it from looking like it belongs on Hannah Montana.

Two more gowns we love, for different reasons: Mila Kunis's intense blood-orange Alexander McQueen and Jayma Mays's sweet, succulent melon Jenny Packham.  Whether you want to make a bold impression or go for something a bit more understated, explore color this season!
