Bright baby blues

Blue's where it's at: A lot of the summer/spring '09 collections have been featuring lovely little frocks in the most appealing shades of blue -- from the palest pastels to intense, striking indigos. Some of my favorite manifestations of blue fashions below, from frocks to sandals:

Just the prettiest shade of sky-blue, and reserved and sophisticated enough to get away with wearing it to the office in summer months. Genius! Brian Reyes Asymmetrical Pleated Dress, at Shopbop. For work, I'd pair this with a pair of neutral sandals; for the weekends, flat gladiators.

Adorable and flirty. Perfect for a jaunty summer weekend out shopping with the girls, and sultry enough to transition to an evening out. Black Halo Pintuck Mini Dress, at Shopbop.

Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti Flat Strappy Sandals. Granted, these sandals are probably a bit more purple than they are indigo/navy, but nevertheless, they're a fun, great way to add some kick to an otherwise casual summer ensemble.

All available at Shopbop.
