Flower Up

Mint Main - 6 months ago - Kathryn Lovell

“Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow?”
English Nursery Rhyme

Bold prints are a hallmark of spring fashion and the floral prints this year are bloomin’ terrific. These ladylike and lovely versions have a timeless design element worth investing in. From abstract to Asian, there’s a perfect print for your fashion landscape.

Cardigan
Garnet Hill Cardigan

Fuschia flowers are fresh with navy, sophisticated with grey, dramatic with black and serene with white.

Dress
David Meister DressKeep a floral print from being overwhelming by limiting the color palate. An abstract watercolor pattern makes an elegant statement with enough depth to the colors to wear it year round.

Purse
Lucky Brand Purse

A kimono print adds a sense of levity to any outfit while the canvas construction lightens your load.

Black, White & New

Mint Main - 6 months ago - Kathryn Lovell

“My philosophy, like color television, is all there in black and white.”
Monty Python

Happy Anniversary to us! Today is the four year mark for Mint and this is the 110 edition. Woohoo!

The very first issue of MINT (Going for Bold) was all about black and white items. And, in a what-goes-around-comes-around, ebb-and-flow, yin-and-yang vein, black and white is back. But this time, with a neutral twist. Update your current pieces with a beige accessory or pick up something all together new.

Blouse
Ann Taylor Spotted Blouse

With the draping at the neckline, short raglan sleeves and the updated black and white pattern, this blouse is spot on.

Dress
Diane von Furstenburg DressChevroned and chic, this can be dressy or casual. Try it with heels for dinner or a simple sandal and denim jacket for spring travel plans.

Heels
Kate Spade Heels

The mother of this color palette are the non-venomous Pythonidae snakes, a.k.a. pythons. A python print heel, bag or belt will instantly upgrade whatever you’re wearing this spring.
