our prints, but this spring is all about COLOR. You can go light

with pastels or bright with a pop of

color or, better yet, combine the two for a

tone-on-tone look.

another tip: if it’s just too hard to part with your patterns, be bold and layer two different but similar prints,

like florals or polka dots.

Agood stylist always has options. We show up to a shoot with more clothes than we need, just in case. That means we always have pieces or looks that we love but just couldn’t work into the current assignment. Here are a few of my favorites that didn’t make the spring fashion shoot (see page 20) but could well be in your

wardrobe for the upcoming season.

The Rest of the Storyby Meredith W. Sullivan

When the Fly Girl and the Girl About Town get together, we shop. Or at least we talk about shopping. So, we decided to start a series of “How to Shop” guides. Our fi rst stop: Fondren. The little gem of a neighborhood is packed full of fantastic restaurants and locally owned boutiques stocked

with everything from artisan gifts, art and fair-trade fi nds.

How to Shop Fondrenby Meredith W. Sullivan and Julie Skipper

Girl About Town Julie Skipper, left, and Fly Girl Meredith W. Sullivan.

Claus Porto Cerina Soap $18

Tangle Boutique and Salon (607 Duling Ave, 601-987-0123)

Tangle isn’t just a hair salon; it’s a great place to fi nd unique

gifts and cards, thanks to owner Brian Brower’s penchant for stocking yummy-smelling lotions

and potions and some great vintage-inspired jewelry lines.

Jeffrey Campbell Kelsey Cage Wedges, $190

The Shoe Bar at Pieces (425 Mitchell Ave., 601-939-5203) There’s not a stiletto we’re afraid to try, and The Shoe Bar

offers a fabulous selection of funky skyscrapers. Plus, manager Becki Hicks always posts what’s just arrived on

Ghost Pines Red Blend 2009, $17.95

Fondren Cellars (633 Duling Ave., 769-216-2323) We love that the

folks at Fondren Cellars know wine is precious

cargo. They will carry it to your car and buckle it into

the passenger seat. Now THAT’s service!

One-shouldered watercolor dress, $4

Silly Billy’s Consignment Shop (534 Mitchell Ave., 601-672-6693) The

fi rst time we set foot in Silly Billy’s, the helpful owners gave us a once-

over and immediately nailed our styles, fl itting around the store and bringing items we loved. What’s better

than bargain prices on quality second-hand items plus assistance with styling?

Man’s Hat, $29.50

Slavebird (2906 N. State St., Suite 103, 601-981-3547) Like its sister store, Soma, this new men’s store, located inside popular skate shop Swell-O-Phonic, features pieces all under $100. We like that the fellas can even scoop up some accessories, which are totally on trend.

Pepe O’Malley, $8

Babalu Tacos & Tapas (622 Duling Ave., 601-366-5757) Even the best table-side guac in town can’t keep us from ordering a fancy cocktail the second we sit. It’s always a toss-up between the Babarita and

the Pepe O’Malley.

Printed pants, $79.99

Posh Boutique (4312 N. State St., 601-364-2244) Even though you have to venture up State Street a bit to the north Fondren location, this hip boutique is always exciting. Keisha Marie stays up to date on the current trends while stocking great classic pieces for the working gal as well.

Silk wrap dress, $18

The Green Room (3026 N. State St., 601-981-9320) We’ve never stepped into this place without falling in love with something.

From the retro drinking glasses and croquet set to the clothes and jewelry from the ’60s

and ’70s, if you’re like us and a sucker for vintage, you won’t leave empty handed.

Does one make a list for the Easter Bunny? Or is that just Santa? Regardless, the bunny is on his way, and this year I decided to put together a guide for him. I’d be happy if he blesses my basket with any of these great gifts that I’ve seen around town.

just had to have (even though they were a half size too small), the tanning sessions, the manicure, the up-do—PROM! It’s that time of year again, when all the gals are getting pretty for prom. Thankfully, it’s no longer 1999, and prom wear is much more fun. Step

out of the box and dance the night away as a rockabilly babe, a pastel princess, a Grecian goddess or a rocker chick. Have fun with your look and take lots of pictures because this is a moment you will want to remember forever.

You guys already know my thoughts on accessories: More is more, and this includes sunglasses. We can never have too many pairs. We have multiple handbags and multiple cars, so it’s only natural that we have a pair of sunglasses for each. After all, it is

important to protect our eyes, and we must look great while doing so.

I was at the security checkpoint in the airport last week with approximately 14 minutes until my departing flight. Of course, as fate would have it, I was trapped behind someone who had to de-robe from lace-up wedges and remove 97 bracelets. I’m all about accessories, but in this situation it’s important to remember that it is possible to be stylish and comfortable

without lots of extras while traveling. Nothing says “I’ve got it together” better than an effortlessly chic gal who is efficient in the airport. Trust me.
