Minty Fresh…

Elevating the freshness at New York Fashion Week to all new levels was the colour mint.

Alice and Olivia kept it playful showing neutral tones with highlights of Aqua. A great way to update your look is with accessories like they’ve done here with the oversize bag.

Carlos Miele shimmied in an aqua accordion-pleated, asymmetrical hemline maxi. And you know how I love some embellishments….why not go for a hint of aqua to brighten up a basic white.

Catherine Malandrino presented a minted version of the shade, complete with leg-o-mutton sleeve shirts. Are they back in???

Charlotte Ronson’s girl is so cool it hurts, in an aqua plastic track jacket. Warning: wear only out of direct sunlight!

Cushnie et Ochs presented one of my favourite dresses for the season. Chic, elegant, cutout. Heaven!

The master of print Diane Von Furstenberg managed to team aqua and red in a new colour combinatin that’s oh-so-fresh. Be careful when trying this at home as you may end up less DVF and more Merry Xmas!

Escada draped some divine jersey to create this elegant maxi.

Monique Lhuillier took a lot of the new seasons trends and combined them in one: extended raglan sleeves, peplum skirts, digital prints, animal textures. There’s a lot going on here, but I kinda like it!

Rachel Zoe’s girl is a fab reflection of the Zoe-bot herself: modern, elegant and touch boho. Just missing a pair of oversize shades.

I love a long sleeve mini-dress and so does Rodarte, and my hat goes off to the sisterly designers for managing to make a skivvy look cool!

Here’s my top picks from Siren’s new collection for injecting a splash of aqua-minty-freshness into your ensemble: Arky, Joyce and Paris…
