Pastel me pretty
They felt wild at first but our red, teal and purple jeans are starting to feel totally tame.
We’re stepping up our rainbow antics and slapping down our credit card for these pastel jeans by Second ($120). The aqua hue undeniably pretty, the mid-rise, skinny cut is super flattering and they are comfy cozy.
Because sandals in the snow are a definite no-no, we’re sneaking in some new season style with these must-have jeans. —Christine Laroche

Get Hosed
As spring teases and winter taunts, we’re getting tired of our sweater dresses and have started eyeing our sweet summer frocks. But since it’s too cold to go bare legged, we’re pairing our short skirts and spaghetti straps with a cardigan and a cute pair of tights.
Wearing actual thigh-highs can get a little draughty in the cold weather, so we wear Dim Trompe l’Oeil tight ($21), with a knee-length skirt (so we can feel cheeky but not chilly when the wind blows it up). At The Bay, 585 St. Catherine St W., Montreal, 514-281-4422, www.hbc.com
Soon the spring blooms will burst through the snow, but until then we’ll bring the garden to the party with Mondor’s Floral Lace Fishnet Tights ($18.50). P.S. They’re made in Quebec. www.mondor.com
We love Secret’s white lace tights ($9.50) for when we want to look our most sweet and innocent. But we’ll wear them with a black leather shorts just to maintain our mystique. At The Bay, 585 St. Catherine St W., Montreal, 514-281-4422, www.hbc.com —JNApril 13th, 2010
La Vie en Rose
Molly Ringwald positively glowed in it, and here are our top picks for a pink spring:

Alert! Bikini season is near. You’ll actually want to trek to the gym with this poppy Two Step tote (22.99). At www.boutiqueonze.ca
Work on those triceps and you’ll be Michelle Glam-bama beautiful in a black and blush chiffon halter frock from Jacob ($69). 1220 Ste-Catherine St. W., 514-861-9346, www.jacob.ca
If pink just ain’t your bag, take a subtle approach with peppy Joe Fresh nail polishes in Rose, Ballet Slipper or Petal. They’re free from formaldehyde and other nasty toxins. 3/$10 at Loblaws, 6600 St-Jacques St. W., 514-481-6959, www.loblaws.ca
