Undoubtedly, this summer is defined by the mermaid. The variety of styles surrounding mermaid culture is fascinating – especially when you integrate a few concepts into your accessories or wardrobe. If you have an interest in this style, you can truly make it your own, at any price point. However you choose to integrate it into your wardrobe is entirely up to you! This first begins with recognizing the type of shells you are interested in and thinking about which color schemes speak to you as well. For example, combining aquamarines with lavenders and purples is always a great match. The same goes for shades of green, teal, and yellow. You cannot ever go wrong with one pop of color and a statement piece that is reminiscent of the mer-world in your wardrobe. Color is an ideal wardrobe choice. I have not been a fan of the “neutrals only” fashion palette that has been dominant in the fashion industry, including in the makeup industry. I think vibrant colors exist for a reason. Life is full of colors, so please pick a bright color or more than one!

There are many ways to embrace “mer-style,” and you can be inspired by the beauty of the ocean itself. If you decide to find one or two accessories to spruce up your wardrobe (the plumeria hair claws that have been trending are a great option), then you can be reminded of your interests for the water and the relaxing calm that water can bring. Simply googling the color schemes of exotic fish is inspiring in of itself! The Mandarin Fish has such deep shades of royal blue, orange, and yellow in it! The shades go together so magnificently.

Nature is tremendously beautiful and we need to cherish every aspect of it. As the world moves forward from the COVID-19 pandemic, and as we have survived a pandemic, we can think about embracing the whimsy of fairytales as a critical way to inspire imaginations and innovations. I will be blogging soon about how to reduce your own carbon emissions and thinking about how living a more sustainable lifestyle is the path forward to a more sustainable planet.

In rosiness,
