I absolutely adore pastels in the spring season. There is something about pastels which tells the world the cold weather is over and sunny days are here. One of my favorite all-time pastel hues is mint green. I love pairing mint green with white since white is such a crisp and clean color. I feel like it is the perfect neutral hue to brighten up mint green and make it pop.

This could be why I love the Ippolita Wonderland set I am wearing with this outfit. The mint green and white quartz set in sterling silver offers a crisp feel in warm weather. Love that! To tie everything together, I love this watch from my new favorite online boutique TrendCY. The white strap helps make the mint green glow and the loose fit will be perfect for the warm weather in spring, and the hot temperatures of the summer months. I also love the watch in white since it will match everything I wear in spring and summer!

Do you have a favorite pastel hue this season? What is your favorite neutral hue to set it off?

It is entirely possible I have an addiction to shoes. With this addiction, I tend to style my outfits around a pair of shoes. This is the case with these fabulous cobalt blue bow pumps from Aminah Abdul Jillil.

I first spotted these bow pumps in black on Pinterest last fall. I thought they were amazing but the last thing I needed in my closet at the time was another pair of black pumps. So, I followed Aminah Abdul Jillil on social media and watched for new designs. 

About one month ago Aminah Abdul Jillil announced a pre-order for new colors on the bow pump; cobalt blue, green and pale pink. I gasped when I saw the cobalt blue, after all, blue is my favorite color! They looked amazing on the website and I got really excited about snagging a pair for myself in blue! 

It took about one month to receive my cobalt blue bow pumps and I cannot be more thrilled. They are incredibly comfortable and the suede is extremely soft. Love that! I wore them out to dinner with my husband and snapped a few photos before we left to share with you. I cannot wait to find more outfits in my closet for these shoes!

Have you ever spotted a pair of shoes and fell in love? I would love to hear about it in the comments below!
