Baby Blues and Florals for Spring, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Kahri Hibiscus Ruffle Tube Dress $80


















Kahri Hibiscus Boyshorts $24

The verdict is in...the hottest new color of spring is baby blue. Whether used sparingly on interesting accents like Hilary Duff's killer Miu Miu heels or full-on in a fun and flirty dress, baby blue is the new black for this spring.

Florals are also always fun for Spring, and Kahri gives their motifs some extra mileage with sweet ruffle detailing. Check out Kahri's complete line for hawt indie fashion designs you can't find just anywhere.

So, if your wardrobe is feeling a little blah and you want to spice up that black and white ensemble from your winter wear, add a dash of baby blue for a springy look. Not ready yet for baby blue shoes? Try some blue beads, a baby blue clutch, earrings or a tank peeking out from underneath your top.

All of that time that you have been clocking in at the gym this winter is about to pay off because mini dresses are in for Spring. Time to bust out those toned thighs and calves because anything goes this season for mini dresses. Whether you want to go conservative or uber short, there is a mini dress out there for you.

If you choose to go with the "super mini" look, like Fergie Ferg, then make sure you follow up with a pair of tights or (shudder) leggings underneath so you don't give everyone around you a Hollywood style show of your bits. And unless you are supermodel tall, make sure you pair your mini with some killer heels to give your legs the most mileage.

May we suggest: the hibiscus trim mini from Kahri is perfect for almost any body type and gives a little more length for mini-shy wearers to play with.

Our top-picks

L'Imagine - $69




Seen recently worn by Jared Leto!
The original! First of the line. Graphics of a large grey dragon and two intertwined lions with wings and logo.

Redspot - $59



Light blue shirt with graphics of foliage overlayed by fine white Indian patterned line drawing with skull in center. Orange twig pattern. Hand applied darker blue wash beneath graphics.

Neckline - $69




A favorite. Chocolate color with distressed black pattern running around a small eagle and skull design overlayed with handwriting (supplied by a famous tragic female rockstar who shall remain nameless!) Darker chocolate dyed under graphics to enhance the art. With all these layers of graphics, you would think you would feel the ink on the shirt, you would be wrong.
