Mint of The Moment

With pastels being one of this seasons color trends, I find myself being drawn towards the mintier palettes. After all, mint ice cream has always been a favorite of mine. The trick with pastels is to not over-do it, otherwise one might find herself resembling one of the two extreme edges of age. In other words, too young or too old. One of the best ways to make mint look edgy and fresh is to pair it with black or white. Here are few pieces that could easily get a girl through the next couple of seasons.





{1} Kill two trendy birds with one stone, and pick yourself up some minty colored denim from ASOS. Denim never goes out of style, and besides, the colored variety is just getting off the ground this spring. {2} As a glasses wearer and lover, I couldn't pass up to chance to share these sleek mint frames by KBL. A sharp pair of frames is timeless no matter what the color. {3} If you're more of the traditional sort and not so comfortable sporting a color trend via your actual clothing, then accessories are the way to go. The Viscid Watch from Anthropologie is the perfect way to add a pop of mint to an otherwise classic look.  {4} If you're a bit on the edgier side, then a minty oxford from ASOS is definitely the shoe for you! Pair these with some white, ankle length denim and a basic white tee for a super fresh summer look. {5} The absolute easiest way to get in on a color trend is by wearing it on your nails. You can't go wrong with Mint Candy Apple from Essie. {6} Wear these minty Dolce Vita flats with just about anything this summer for an extra pop of color. {7} The Glimmered Piperita Dress from Anthropologie is the perfect spring and summer dress. Wear it with a black leather motorcycle jacket and boots for an edgier look, or with strap-y gold heels and accessories for a more formal occasion.

Anyone else have any good minty finds this season?

Ok so I love the sandles and glasses. I think those colours work on any skin types. Definitely going to look for this colour when I go to do some more holiday shopping.

Thanks for the inspiration :)
