Dallas Spring Fashion Trends

The best shade of the season
After one too many seasons, pink has lost its preciousness. There’s a new hue, however, that played favorites on spring 2006 runways. Between blacks and creams came a pop of coral. The bright shade showed up in evening dresses: a lacy Lacroix, a strapless layered Armani column, and a voluminous Gaultier gown. Pair the color with lily green or tobacco brown for a daytime look, then brush on a little coral blush for San Tropez style.

The best way to satisfy a sweet tooth
Noshy? Treat yourself to a fabulous Italian gelato. Made with only 8% milk fat, flavors are more intense than in everyday ice cream. Picky? Check out Ecreamery.com, an online source for custom flavor-blending. Choose your own base, mix-ins and toppings, give it a catchy name, and have the concoction Fed-Exed right to your door. Flavors include avocado, jackfruit, green tea, honeydew, and an especially refreshing cucumber-dill.

The best foot forward
It’s time to kick off the Uggs and bare your soles. For superfine feet, book a pampering pedicure before sandal shopping. Don’t settle for ordinary the ordinary file-and-shellac. The On the Rocks service at ZaSpa features a fully-reclining zero gravity pedicure chair. Their Red Shoes service includes lemongrass exfoliating scrub, as well as before and after foot massages.

The best way to volumize hair
Put the top down! Let the wind whip through your tresses in a new Cadillac XLR. The convertible strikes just the right balance of sophisticated, sleek, and sporty design, while offering a few stellar features. Adaptive cruise control, discrete heads-up display on the windshield, keyless ignition, and voice recognition let this sweet ride help you find that new restaurant.

The best hide-and-seek
Tim Blanks called it “a Taos-Texas vibe.” The spring men’s collection from Michael Kors combines earth-toned linen, chamois, and cashmere with olive camouflage fatigues. The look is decidedly masculine, rich yet unfussy. There’s no blending in with the crowd when wearing this urban desert wear.
