Yes, mint is a sherbet flavor, but it is also one of spring’s hottest colors! We’re seeing the mint color pop up all over the runways on just about everything from dress to shoes to handbags. I’ve even see some very pretty mint lingerie! Mint may not be a color you’ve ever considered, but you should certainly give it a try. It actually looks great with all types of skin tones- pale to dark and everything in between. Have a look at some really fabulous mint colored products, cool huh?

If you’re not familiar with TOMS shoes (you must be living under a rock). Kidding of course, TOMS shoes is a brand that gives back. For each pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will donate a pair to a child in need. Great huh? Not only a good cause, but TOMS shoes for women are also stylish and comfortable! I’m loving the new styles for spring – very cool. Go to beso.com and pick up a pair or two.

If you’re looking for style AND comfort, try on a pair of Chie Miharas! I do tons of traveling, and exploring cities on foot, so I need a shoe I can walk in, while remaining stylish. Crafted with soft leathers, I’ve found this line to be amazingly comfortable and well worth the price. Another plus, is the shoes are so versatile, they can be easily be worn day to night, which makes them a perfect for travel (no need to pack loads of shoes). They’ll go perfectly with cargo pants, a flirty dress, or you’re favorite sexy skirt. Here are several of my favorite pairs all found at beso.

Michael Kors flats offer a chic choice for everyday casual or stand-out style.  Three great styles, the Ontario, Venus and Naples, show that you can wear flats anytime and be both comfortable and cute.  The Ontario shoe, a bright zebra stripe shoe is perfect for Saturday night with a black miniskirt or minidress.  The Venus shoe, a black snakeskin flat, is that perfect work shoe you’ll grab again and again.  The Naples shoe is a gorgeous nude flat with tiny geometrical cutouts that will look gorgeous with skinny jeans.
