Hannah's How-To: Dress Up Your Winter Whites!

Once a week, I will be updating the blog with a new "how-to" of our favorite topic: fashion!

I will be addressing all of those frequently asked questions from our customers, whether it's how to wear the freshest color of the season, how to wear a funky new style, or just how to mix and match what's in your wardrobe.

Today Marissa and I have been discussing our new favorite color: winter white! What an appropriate topic for this gorgeous snowy day here in Cambridge.

Here is Shoshanna's Ruffle Cami Dress in Ivory- gorgeous! I matched it with some fabulous golds, like this stunning Jo Jo Three Strand Necklace in Pyrite and Taolei's Art Deco Earrings with Clear Quartz. What's best is this wild Lauren Merkin clutch- the Diana Textured Snake Envelope in Brown Zebra print.

Casual it up with this Free People Solid Wildflower Button Down blouse- perfect to use as a summer cardigan, but great right around this time of year as well. I added some sparkle with Pistachio's Pin Necklace, and a flash of color with Alternative Apparel's Violet Burnout Tank. Pair it with some comfy denim, like these Citizen of Humanity Avas in Faith. Finally- every girl needs a fab bag, regardless of where she is going. And what says "I'm dreaming of spring" like JPK Paris' rad Jockey Large Spark Bag in Grass?

Here is Tibi's Silk Draped Dress in Cream. Such a sophisticated number! It's cold out, so I put it with this cozy wool Moksha scarf in Sea Grass. I added some color with Abas' Cylinder Clutch in Purple and Jo Jo's Stretch Crystal Bracelet. Such a dreamy combo!

Hope you have enjoyed perusing my thoughts on lovely winter whites. Enjoy!

XOXO Hannah

Ladies, send your sweeties (or your best friends) over to Mint Julep to get their hands on one of these darling "candy heart" necklaces handmade by Mint Julep's own Hannah Blount. Each heart is hand-stamped and comes on an 18" chain. Choose between gold vermeil ($96) and sterling silver ($76).

Visit Hannah's website: www.hannahblount.com to see her complete collections and read her blog. Better yet, stop in and meet the designer herself!

A Burst of Sunshine!

Resort season is upon us here at Mint Julep and we are oh-so thankful for all the bright colors that are splashing our racks. This season, dare to wear this unusual shade of citrus! We love the glamorous one-shoulder dresses flaunted by SJP and Scarlett Johannsen above, so we were squealing when this cheerful Max and Cleo "Sunflower" dress arrived. The chiffon trim is girly and sturdy folds of fabric are luxurious. If, however, you're not in the market for a dress as such, try out this reliable 525 America button-down cotton cardigan in the same shade we are loving.

We are getting more resort-wear in everyday, so stop by soon to brighten up your wardrobe!
