The Mint Movement

The amount of mint colored items in my closet is growing more rapidly than any other color, basically watch out navy! Pastels in general have always been a staple in my closet, but recently mint has become one of my favorite colors. It might be because its Tiffany-esque, and who doesn't love Tiffany's. But its likely because it matches everything from white to navy and is such a cheerful color. Either way I always catch myself looking at items in this color including shoes, bags, jewelry, and clothes. It is interesting to me thought that I'm drawn to mint because its in the green family, and generally I am not a huge fan of green. I thought that I liked baby blue more, but the more I think about it and look at my closet the more I am loving the color mint. While it's not a good transition color for fall, I promise I will be wearing it for the rest of the summertime!

Easy Ways To Go Green

I have this theory that we should all be kind to the environment, because if we don't who will? There is no need to add more unnecessary items to landfills than we have to. Also for the sake of the animals that live in rivers and near landfills, we have to look out for them. Here are a few simple ways you can be more green in your day to day life. ~Use Reusable Bags~ Using a reusable bag when going to the grocery store should be common practice by now. All of those plastic bags ending up in the landfill is truly unfortunate. I like the Lilly Pulitzer reusable market totes because they hold a good amount of items, but can be put on your shoulder so that it does not feel as heavy. ~Recycle Paper~ You would think that everyone recycles paper by now, but surprisingly that is not the case. It is very simple to get a cute little paper tray to put in a desk drawer to put unwanted paper in. Whether it be an envelope or unneeded copy paper, its so easy to just throw it into the...

Cozy Spirit Jerseys

As the season are changing over from summer to fall the weather is getting cooler. Even though it's not cold yet, it its much cooler in the morning and evenings than during the afternoons. This is a fun time to mix long sleeves with shorts as well as short sleeves with long pants or jeans. One of these combinations that I love includes a spirit jersey with shorts. It allows me to wear my favorite Lilly Pulitzer shorts past the summertime. The spirit jersey is always a cozy option because they are thicker than a t-shirt but not as thick as a sweatshirt. They are typically worn oversized so this allows for them to be extra comfortable. So even when I wear shorts, I am still able to stay warm enough throughout the day.

Totally Necessary Totes

Professional (similar)/ Weekender (Old, but this is an alternative) / Beach / School / Everyday (similar)/ Purse (similar) I am always a sucker for a new tote bag! While I wish that I could by every cute bag I see, I know it's important to only buy totes that I am going to use frequently. There's no reason for me to buy multiple of the same function tote, because then my closet would be floor to ceiling in bags. One thing I do to keep my totes to a minimum is I try and purchase neutral colors that will match the majority of what I wear. ~Professional Tote~ This tote is great to have for important meetings, interviews, or for when you have a big presentation. More than likely you are dressed very professionally for this function, so its important to keep your outfit cohesive by having a nice tote. I like the red Ralph Lauren one that I have because its a sleek look and the leather will hold up for years to come and I can transition it into my career wardrobe af...
