Spring is here. Theoretically. When the groundhog stuck his head out of his hole, he predicted six more weeks of rain for Santa Cruz. Months later, we here at Metro Santa Cruz retain our undying optimism that we will, someday, see the sun again. And when that day comes, it's important that you be prepared.

As warm weather approaches (again, theoretically), you must ask yourself, "When I shed my North Face parka, what will I find underneath?"
We hope, for your sake, it's a brightly colored top, sassy necklace and wickedly posh jeans, because that (according to our in-depth reporting) is what all the cool kids will be wearing this season. And like your mother always said: if you aren't cool, no one will ever love you.
But where does one get appropriately fashionable spring clothing and accessories on such short notice?
Fortunately for you, we're here to help.
Behold, our Spring Fashion Extravaganza. Gaze longingly at the apparel of our young and trendy fashion models and seek to re-create yourself in their glowing image. Go now, we'll wait.
