cool as mint

Chanel; Diane von Furstenberg; Matthew Williamson; Valentino; Oscar de la Renta

It looks like the deep emeralds of fall are going to transition into soft pastel mints come resort season. Every designer from Matthew Williamson to Oscar de la Renta is showcasing this cool color in their Resort 2013 presentations.

I personally enjoy how DVF did it best. To avoid looking like a prissy mother of the bride, go for baggy sweaters, tailored shorts, or sleek sandals when picking out minty-fresh items.

Will you be sporting mint this winter?

Friday, I'm In Love: Diane Von Furstenberg

 

As a high school student, I often run into the dilema as to how to best carry all my needed supplies. Sure, I would love to be the girl who forgoes her binders and books for a stylish purse, but alas, the type-A in me cannot go without her organizational skills. This Diane Von Furstenberg backpack is the perfect solution to all my schoolgirl woes! The canvas is wonderful for practicality, and the vibrant yellows and modern floral print give it a cool surfer girl look.
