Red + Mint is like candy cane-mint ice cream to your eyes!

Red and green are complementary colors so they naturally look appealing together, hence Christmas colors.  Mint is green (just mixed with white & a tiny blue) and the pairing of these colors is quite delicious!  If you shy away from red, this mint would also pair amazingly with an orange as well.  We’ll talk a totally new mint palette come summer!

Autumn was spectacular and now I feel extra spoiled with this winter wonderland!  Took my dog Ruby for a walk today in the snowy park and it was also delicious.  Notice Ruby’s fleece jacket and winter booties. ♥ Of course my dog is dressed in style for the weather!

The outfit came first and the painting inspired second.

I hope you all had a joyous Christmas and wishing you continued happy holidays with family and friends!
