Kelly B Spring ’08 Collection

As the Boy Scouts say, “Be prepared.” For a last-minute shindig, an unexpected snog, a lightning-quick getaway.

In Kelly B, you’ll be ready for anything. Reflecting her background in organic textiles, local designer Kelly Barry’s laid-back spring line is geared toward the conscientious gal on the go.

Better-than-basic tops, dresses, and swimsuits in natural fibers prove your leadership qualities when it comes to style. A royal blue bamboo knit shift with a sweet pin-tuck yoke works for both indoor and outdoor activities. Be careful not to start any wildfires in the flamenco-inspired sleeveless jersey wrap dress. Top it all off with a wear-anywhere cropped coat with big buttons for stormy weather.

Wearing them could earn you a merit badge for shopping. Scout’s honor.

Available at Eco Citizen, 1488 Vallejo Street, between Polk and Larkin Streets (415-614-0100 or ecocitizenonline.com). To see styles, go to kellybcouture.com.
