Color Love : Mint


I don't know if it's because it's been so hot in NYC this summer but I find that I'm more attracted to cool hues of late. And my favorite shade is currently mint. It all started with the mint dot J. Crew jeans I picked up on sale and can't get enough of. Since then I've been browsing for more minty items to add to my closet. Is this a color you like? What do you pair it with?

Such a beautiful shade - I feel cool and calm just by looking at it. I think it's a wonderful colour to mix with crisp whites and chocolates as well as deep blue. Sort of like nature intended, I guess. :)

Those pants are adorable and I love the necklace as well. I like the color mint but it doesn't look nice on me so I don't buy it for clothing.

I found Mr & Mrs Cute Bunny and their adorable baby staring longingly at my plants this weekend and thought of you because I know how much you love bunnies. I had to make them move though, I didn't want them getting any ideas about eating things again this year.

Mint is allll over the place nowadays and I absolutely adore it. I pretty much like anything that can call itself pastel!

Ceciliette said...

I've been a fan of this colour from a few years now, it's the only sort of pastel tone i can tolerate.

These are so pretty! I always love whites and pastels in the summer, they look so fresh and pretty and much cooler than the brighter colors. Hope you're having a wonderful summer, darling Rowena! xo ~S
