Guest Picks: The Color of Spring is Mint
A 20-something blogger living, working, shopping, & loving life in Boston, I am attracted to all things "stylish" whether it be the lastest fashion trend on the runways to the newest decor featured in home magazines. I blog all about it at La vie...J'aime (http://www.laviejaime.com) which translates to "Life, I love" in French.

One of the biggest trends in fashion and beauty this year is mint green. This pastel is perfect for spring in your home too. Go big by painting a whole wall, or go small with candles and other accent pieces.
