With the end of the school semester having come to a close, I’ve had to take a brief… maybe it was a little bit more than brief… hiatus from the blogosphere, but I can assure you that no amount of tests, group projects, papers, closet organizing, and mother’s day celebration’s (you can tell I’ve been a little busy!) can keep me away for long from tapping away my manicured fingers on my laptop’s keyboard.

With that being said, let’s get right back into the swing of things with my new color obsession for the summer months. Although I thought orange would stay in my heart forever, it seems that it has had to move over for my new color crush. With all the sea-foam, mint and honeydew colors I’ve been seeing in the stores, I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of the refreshing hue. Ranging from tops to bottoms, shoes to accessories, this color is splashing its way onto every article of clothing it can chicly embrace.

Pair your favorite mint-hued piece with basic colors to really make the intensity of the shade pop. My favorite way to style this contemporary color for the summer, you ask? Pair the elegantly relaxed-fit crepe Reiss Blazer over a crisp structured white dress and an understated pair of flat, gold sandals. This ensemble will give you a relaxed yet chic summer look appropriate for any outing. So why not order a Mint Julep to match your color coordinated outfit?
