It's so Easy to be Mint Green...

Summer has, in our opinion, always been the best season, but this summer was especially exciting for us because mint green has become the official "it" color. Why is it so thrilling for us? Let us count the ways...
First, green has been our favorite color for years, and now we have an excuse to surround ourselves with it! But even if mint green hasn't been on your radar until now it would be hard not to jump on the bandwagon. There are so many adorable way to go mint green this summer. For instance, super stylish mint green denim has been seen everywhere from the runway to Jessica Alba. I like this pair from J. Crew.

Don't know what to wear with colored jeans? Here's some inspiration! Wear with white for a clean summer look as Megan blogged about in Nestled or pair with even more mint green for a more fashion forward monochrome look like the Fashion Over Reason blog suggests.

China Glaze also has mint green nail polish out, which is great for that monochrome look or for just a pop of the trend if you're not ready to invest in a pair of green jeans. As much as we love mint green jeans and nail polish, we think we love this mint green watch from Anthropology even more. Its bright hue provides just the right amount of color to complement any outfit.
Luckily, this cool, calming color has also made its way into interior design as well as fashion. Better Homes and Gardens has featured two different mint green kitchens. Which one do you like best, the Coastal Cottage (left) or the Mint Green Backsplash (right)?
Charles P. Rogers released a set of gorgeous mint green sheets. Can you imagine waking up between two layers of fresh,clean mint green?

Even high-end, to the trade companies are loving elegant versions of the mint green trend. JAB Anstoetz is carrying on the trend into their fall line with luxurious fabrics like Florence and Floral Garden. With so many choices there are plenty of ways to work this lovely trend into your life!
