aqua + lime = fresh summer chic

with warm weather peeking its way into los angeles, i'm reminded that summer is coming — and somehow, few things feel more summery to me than a splash of watery cool aqua blue.

paired with lime green (clearly one of my loves) aqua positively comes alive. this uncommon palette is crisp, contemporary, and super chic. probably my fave item below is the trio of lime velvet cuffs adorned with blue jewels. i am crazy about them.

we also adore the textural blue ribbon on the lime green favor boxes, and of course, a major inspiration was our own frolic letterpress invitation, with its modern shape, playful polka dots and clean lines. and that blue beach lemonade just looks fun. what's not to love about this combo?
