Trending: EleMINTs of Style!

Please excuse my fail attempt of a pun as a title. I clearly think that I'm some sort of a word genius, which I am definitely not. However, I am a master of counting down days and I know for a fact that there is 15 days left of Winter, which only means one thing: SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!! Being a Spring-born baby myself, I've always liked Spring except for the nasty Hayfever. When I think of Spring one colour comes to mind: Mint Green! If you are not aware that mint has been trending, then you must be living under some sort of a rock that has internet connection... It has been seen everywhere from runways to streets to florists and it is so suitable for the Spring/Summer time because it is just the perfect, fun colour for any occasion! Here's a few of my favourite mint coloured items for this upcoming Spring/Summer:

  1. Sportsgirl Rolled Neck Sweater in Mint (buy here) In the early stages of Spring, the brisk Sydney weather can be a little hard to manage without a jumper so why not a oversized, mint one? This one is perfect for staying warm while looking ready for the the vibrant Spring.
  2. Topshop Mint Lace Trim Ankle Socks (buy here) Frilly socks are perfect for any outfit. They are super cute and it makes me feel like i'm four or five again! I like how you can pair these with converses, vans or creepers and they instantly makes your outfit more feminine!
  3. Lime Crime Lipstick in Mint To Be (read here) It is devastating that this lipstick was limited edition and is now sold out. But that didn't stop me from featuring it in this collage because I think the colour is spectacular. It is true that if I get it, I will probably wear it once in a blue moon for a photoshoot or a special dress up event but it is still wonderful and a must have for all you lipstick fanatics!
  4. "Everything Is Going To Be OKAY" Book (buy here) This book is a perfect pick-me-up whenever someone is down. It is filled with inspiring words from photography, to paint, to pen and ink illustrations that would bring back the sunshine and spark into someone's life. A must have, even though it may not be exactly a fashion/beauty item.
  5. Goldie Marina Dress in Mint (buy here) Florals, studded collars and mint. This dress has definitely gotten it right. The vibrancy of the colours with the added edge from the studs creates a perfect combination for a Spring dress. The shape of the dress is easy to pull off for all body shapes and the cinched in waistline is super flattering. Definitely a must-need in a wardrobe!
  6. Essie Nailpolish in Mint Candy Apple (buy here) Who hasn't heard of this nail polish? This colour has been featured by so many beauty gurus and bloggers that I feel like everyone know everything about it without physically owning one. Having mint on the nails is perfect for anyone who wants to incorporate some bright colours in the outfit without looking too overly bright and taking too much fashion risks.
  7. Jeffrey Campbell Night Walk in Mint Suede (buy here) Mr. Campbell... Why? Why do you have to make the most perfect shoes that are so damaging to my bank account? Mary Janes have always been my choice of heels because they are a classic and look so adorable but these take things to a whole new level. These heeless heels are so cool and are said to be incredibly easy to walk in so they are just magnificent.
  8. Yves Saint Laurent Arty Gold-Plated Glass Ring in Mint Glass (buy here) Is it still alright for me to call it Yves Saint Laurent, or do I have to call it Saint Laurent Paris? Anyhow, this ring is simply incredible. Unfortunately, like every other successful thing in the world, there are plenty dupes for this ring but there is just nothing like the original. If it wasn't for the expensive price tag, this would've already been mine!
  9. Illamasqua SS12 Human Fundamental Palette (buy here) "Released from the restraints of conformity, the collection consists of an intense colour palette, as neutrals are juxtaposed against heady violets and rich ochres, leaving room for experimentation with textures and tones." Illamasqua's makeup has always been revolutionary and this palette is no exception. This palette screams Spring and when the colours are worn separately, it could actually be quite wearable. It can be worn as an all over the lid colour to simply an eyeliner. It's so beautiful...
  10. Nasty Gal Astro Circle Shades in Mint (buy here) It's time to find the sunglasses, ready for the sunglasses seasons! Once again these are quintessential for the spring time because the circle frame glasses with omber amber coloured lenses are perfect with almost every outfit and are flattering with all face shapes!
