Even the Vieux Carre Commission would approve these color-coded additions to the streets of the French Quarter. From Bourbon Street to Esplanade Avenue, fashion's strongest shades rule the rue this season. Resembling our pet pastimes, the delicious look of spring is spicy like boiled crawfish, icy like Hansen's Sno-Bliz, cool like Trombone Shorty and sun-kissed like Jazz Fest.
