    At Bamboo Sky, spring is a colorful affair.

    "Our customers like fun, sexy styles and are definitely not afraid of color! Spring prints and fabrics have an added sweetness to them this year, and our favorite versions are offset with black accents to add a touch of sophistication," says co-owner Tiffany Young.

    The boutique also plans to stock plenty of cropped jackets and wide belts to accessorize with. Her boutique picked up looks by Johnson, Vanitas, Alice + Olivia, Bilingual and T-Bags for spring.

    Koko Cabana's offerings include high-waisted pieces and prints inspired by a 1940s and '50s pin-up girl aesthetic.

    Says buyer Kerrie Lee, "We are also obsessed with the '60s mod influence and will be bringing in shift dresses in lighter materials to ensure comfort in Hawai'i's tropical climate. We like our store to emulate the aloha spirit; to provide a comfortable environment for our clients to explore their personal style and make a few friends on the way."

    Lee's favorite spring collections include Geren Ford, Rachel Pally, Corey Lynn Calter, Tart and Mike & Chris.
