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!
