Somewhere between robin's egg and turquoise is electric blue, and celebs are flocking to this hue in a big way. An unusual color for summer, electric blue has become a staple with the Hollywood elite on the red carpet and on the streets. Whether it's a daring halter dress like on Chloe Sevigny or a casual tunic like seen on Kate Hudson, there seems to be no limits to where this color can go.

For me, there is something about this color that hearkens back to the late 1980's and early 1990's...it's almost neon in nature. This used to be one of my favorite colors to wear in scrunchie and sock form, and I am pleased to see its' return. This is actually a fabulous color for a variety of skin tones, and is especially great for showing of a summer glow.

Think that an electric blue frock may be hard to find anywhere past Rodeo Drive? Think again...LeFashionista has you covered, and at a price tag way below what the celebs might pay. If you are eager to try out this trend, then check out Misile's "Addressed to You" sun dress, now on sale. Cute a la carte, or with a pair of jeans, this is the perfect way to dip your toes in the electric blue water.

Who cares about the time honored tradition "thou shalt not wear white before labor day" (or is it after?). I will be the first to admit that I am not a big fan of the whole white jeans look...it reminds me too much of middle school and is just way too risky when Aunt Dot comes to visit, if you know what I mean.

However, there is nothing more polished than a crisp white dress and nothing more stand out and feminine than a snazzy white suit. But you have to know how to rock it.

Nicole Richie pairs her formal white dress with a pair of equally formal red satin heels for the perfect balance of trendy and classy. White or black shoes just wouldn't have worked here, and metallics are SO 2006...love it.

Need a more casual look? I love what Reese Witherspoon did with her white eyelet dress...a sweet cardigan, flats and fun accessories make this a great look.

So, this spring, we recommend a basic white dress for any occasion (well, not any occasion, not at weddings, but that's obvious). Check out the Love in Numbers dress from Misile for a simple yet stylish piece that will flatter almost any figure.
