please pass the mint, please!

hi everyone! thank you so much for your sweet and such supportive comments on my craft fair. i am so lucky to have such wonderful readers! i can't thank you enough :) each one of them made me smile, so thank you!
so in my last bike chic outfit i had mentioned how i am a bit in love with mint and yellow...well people it is official, i am obsessed with the color combo! i want to wear it all the time and i am getting the itch to paint and this color combo will be the first i try out!

i am also a bit obsessed with pleated skirts too. i got this black one a while back while hanging out with kelly-anne at one of my favorite thrift stores, actually now that i think about it i got the shirt there too! i just love how this skirt flows in the wind while i ride and i find myself watching the skirt more then the road ahead. so bad, especially in sf which is really bad., people have the nasty habit of jumping right off the curb and into the bike lane without looking. an awkward crash that would be!
 know the game fogger? well that is kinda how it can be riding in the city... fun but at times a bit scary. as you can see i also painted my nails yellow and mint colored and i had sworn never to paint my nails ever again as they chip instantly but i couldn't resist :D
what colors are you obsessed with?

oh and i can't forget the winner of one of lo's amazing necklace....drum rolling please.......... NIKKI
congrats lady! lo will be contacting you next week to get your info and send you a fabulous necklace. i am very jealous indeed!

in other news, i did a guest post for poppies and sunshine. shawna has a super sweet inspirational blog that i just adore. check it out :)

    You look seriously gorgeous! I love the color combination, and that pleated skirt is wonderful. I also really like the blouse, especially the detailing and little bow at the neck.

    You look amazing! I love your shirt and your nails and your ring! I never paint my nails either because I can't stand the chipping, plus, I break my nails a lot. I don't really clip them down so they just get long and eventually break off. I can't wait to see what you create with mint & yellow!

    Such a cute combo color! I've been having this weird obsession with the colors teal/turquoise & maroon. I don't know why but I'm in love with it at the moment.

    Agreed on that color combo! I can't wait to live in a place where I'm allowed to paint to walls- I'm gonna be paintin' mint and yellow and coral all over that joint!

    DC drivers are THE WORST around bikers. Either they don't care about basic rules of safety and niceness, or they just should all go back to driving school. Whenever I see bikers ride around here without helmets I want to chase them down and then take them to Target and buy them a helmet. Because drivers will rampage all over the streets!

    BONJOUR!

    I am obsessed, literally obsessed with AQUA! Come to my blog and see. I just visited your shop via Shawna and what a delight! On my sidebar, you will see my art, although I do not have a shop. I am a full-time teacher during the school year, but a dreamer during the summer months! Anita

    I love this bike chic outfit. Your belt adds an awesome touch lady. Your nails look lovely mint and yellow are so perfect for summer! I know what you mean about the chipping but when you look at your hands throughout the day doesn't that pop of color just put a smile on your face? My nails are periwinkle right now and I just love it! Glad you liked my cycling engagement photos. As I was posting them I thought that you'd appreciate them since you are such a cyclist. I plan to sell my car and bike to work come Sept. So looking forward to it!
