Dress Up

Although I do not know where the components of this outfit are from, I figured that this was the perfect lesson in how to incorporate pastels and light-weight fabrics into fall and winter wardrobes. While pastels are known for being associated with spring time, by combining a longer length dress with a tailored camel colored coat and brown leather bag, this light pistachio-mint color can work for cooler months during the winter just as it can for the cooler months of the spring.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Home Improvement

While mint green is one of my favorite colors, I would never think of using it in an interior space such as the one in the photo above. When I think of living rooms and fireplaces, I often don't think of pastel and cooler colors. However, with the high ceilings, intricate molding, abundance of knick knacks seen in the fireplace, pillows on the couch, and plates and bowls spread throughout, the mint is just as inviting and comfortable as any other color would be. And, it has a sense of uniqueness and freshness that would not often be found.

What do you think? Would you ever use a pastel color for your living room?

Dress Up

When I think of dressing for summers in New York City, I think of dresses that are easy to wear and can take me from a day sipping iced coffees outside to a late night event somewhere or another. This dress from Necessary Clothing does just that. With it's fun combination of lime and mint greens, it works as well transitioning from spring to summer as it does from day to night. The addition of the contrasting collar and sheer quality of the fabric make it right on trend as well, and who could resist its flattering and adorable shape and overall style? Not me, that's for sure.

Happy Friday, everyone!

What are all of you up to this weekend? I will be spending it shopping with my mom, renting bikes with the beautiful weather NYC has been having these past few days, and taking too many pictures.

Color Inspiration

I recently came across this dessert display on one of my Pinterest hunts, and absolutely adored everything about it. From the perfect pastel colors to the darling treats and sweet balloons, I knew that it just had that certain eye catching quality about it. Though the goodies and decorations are indeed eye catching, it is the certainly the colors of baby pink, mint green, and gold that hold it all together so perfectly.

These colors are just right so that they add the perfect amount of pizzaz to the display without overpowering it and the beautiful treats and decor surrounding it, as well. Mint green has definitely been one of the colors that I have been particularly attracted to lately. In anything from mint ice cream, to this H&M mint green sweater that Taylor Sterling and I both have, and even colored pencils. This color (as well as baby pink and gold) are surely shoe-ins for the spring season.
