MINT Pastel colors are going to be big in general this season, but mint is the trendiest hue of the bunch. This frosty shade is a lovely mix between blue and green and gives off a light, airy vibe. Mint pairs well with many colors, but we especially love how it looks with yellow, pink and teal. Mix and match a mint-colored item with one of those shades for a gorgeous and springappropriate look.

LIGHTPINK When it comes to pink, people either love it or hate it. Those who champion the extra-girly shade love how pretty and fresh it is. Those who hate it usually take offene to the overt “delicateness” of the hue. This Spring, no one’s got a reason to complain, because pink’s been taking over the shop shelves and feels more cool than dainty. Here are six ways to try it out this Spring without looking (and feeling) like a gumdrop.

“It’s that time of year again Spring is just around the corner!”

BABY BLUE Fashion Week has come and gone, which leaves us to pluck out and organize the meaningful data. Spring 2012 was about a lot of things (prints! peplums! citrus shades and cutouts!) but it seemed like every catwalk hosted at least one piece in light blue, in all shapes and silhouettes. …Luckily, this is one trend that looks lovely on just about everyone. Here’s all the cobalt, ultramarine, and aqua that ruled the runways.

HARAJUKU FASHION WALK participants of the Harajuku Fashion Walk Harajuku Fashion Walk is a fun and colorful Japanese street fashion event which we’ve been covering since the very first one. Originally conceived as a onetime super kawaii street party by Sebastian Masuda (the founder of 6%DOKIDOKI & Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s art director), the event was subsequently taken over by group of Harajuku kids and turned into a bi-monthly event. Every two months, 50-100 colorfullydressed young people meet up in Harajuku and parade through the streets together, making friends – and lots of smiles – along the way. Harajuku Fashion Walk is produced for Harajuku Kids (including you “Harajuku kids” all over the world) by Harajuku Kids.
