a freshly minted year.

welcome to 2011, this ephemeral life!

lots of changes in my life have occurred in the past few weeks and i'm still reeling from everything, i'm afraid.

i'm back at unc, trying to enjoy the hustle and bustle of classes and friends, so my posting into the new year has been quite lacking.

for that, i apologize.
but, in with the new!

today's post is full of one of my favorite colors, mint green.

this color just makes me feel alive when i look at it, it's so fresh and lovely.

i've also included some of my favorite found vintage photographs from signs and wonders' flickr photostream.

happy thursday & enjoy!

how gaudy and wonderful are these marie antoinette mint pumps?

i certainly wouldn't wear them, but imagine them resting on your dressing table next to some perfume bottles...

perfection in a pair of heels.

i leave you with some spearmint.



take care!
