Mmmm... Fresh!

I am loving this mint green trend. It's like the refreshing, cold sweetness of a Melona bar on a summer day.

If you haven't had one, you really need to look into it. They are South Korean honeydew melon creme bars and are delightful. Get them at your local Asian market (they are worth the $10 a box).

I'm also loving the return of super lady-like pieces mixed with menswear. So you can imagine my glee at seeing still from the Jonathan Saunders show.

Nothing creates an hourglass figure better than a structured shirt tucked into an a-line skirt. This is my summer uniform- ask anyone. I also adore those sandals with the wee bows. Tres adorable!

Sadly, I haven't yet put my hands on any minty fresh pieces that are perfect for me. So, I am looking forward to adding  splashes with accessories. First on my list:

 Essie 'Mint Candy Apple'. Just the right amount of blue to tone down the yellow in my skin and the perfect touch of green to make it fresh and young.*

I need one of my lovely nail-obsessed friends to try this. It looks brilliant and clever, yet tricky to execute. Apparently, you swipe on this polish then wave the be-magnetted cap over your nail and a seriously cool design appears.

I'm looking at you, ladyflash...

A Swedish Elderberry Kiss

I just saw images from Vogue Sweden's featuring Frida Gustavsson in a 1940's-inspired shoot. It is amazing. Apart from her obvious beauty and killer bone structure, I was totally taken by the gorgeous shade of plum gracing her lips. She looks like a little Swedish milk maid who's just bitten into some freshly picked Elderberries.

On it's own, this shade could make her look like a goth Camden Town Chick. But the supporting colors chosen for these looks are petal pink, charcoal gray, burgundy, iris blue, and mint green. Flawless.

I'm picking up these lipsticks to see if I can match the look:

I remember reading a positive review for this one on The Non Blonde. She loved it, so I will most definitely be giving it a try.

Urban Decay's "The Revolution"

And innovation it is. This thing looks like something you'd pay $400 for at Design Within Reach. And guess who's a sucker for Scandinavian design, gadgets, things that are shiny, and beauty tools? That's right; this girl.
