Spring is in the air, and the smell of freshly sewn dresses is enough to make a gal swoon. The best scents of the season are coming from the fabulous collection of local designer, Julia Plume, winner of the 2007 Texas Next Top Designer award.

A muted gray shift with a brightly colored yellow accent, and a hot pink silk skirt paired with a feather inspired feminine tank will do wonders for your post-winter wardrobe.

This welcome breeze is just the thing to flip those calendar pages forward.
