D' Luxe Style - Dream in Coral This Spring

If you're like me, you are tired of this winter weather. I'm looking forward to Spring and all of the glorious fashions I can start to wear. As a person who loves color, I am happy to highlight the "must have" colors for the Spring/Summer 2009 season. Coral is one of my favorites.

From deep red coral used in jewelry, to light salmon pink on your nails, to a cantaloupe melon dress, any shade goes this season.

As we approach this time of change and renewal, look for bright, happy colors like coral to light up your wardrobe and enhance your spirits.
