Carly Dunlap models for Iris and Indy.

Spring is a time of new growth, as well as new fashions, with many people taking advantage of the changing weather to update their wardrobe with new clothing. The latest spring fashions from local boutiques were showcased during Blooms and Brunch, a ladies’ fashion and beauty soiree, which was held on Saturday, March 20, at Social Event Space on Main Street, Hurricane. A wide variety of styles were modeled by women and children from the Hurricane and Teays Valley areas. Participating boutiques included Iris and Indie, Oodles, Peyton and Peppy, Finding Foxtale, and Fabric Fiend.
