The beginning of summer is upon us, and that means it’s time to pack away all of our cold weather things and update our wardrobes! To start the season off right, let’s highlight some of 2016’s hottest colors and see how we can translate them into our closets and makeup bags.
1) Turquoise – This beautiful shade of blue-green is nostalgic of lazy days spent on the coast, and it’s the perfect color to brighten up any summer day. Here are some of my top makeup and fashion picks, ranging from true turquoise to more green or blue leaning variants.

Forever 21 Turquoise Necklace ($9.90)
Forever 21 Embroidered Crepe Crisscross Cami in Mint ($10.00)
2) Mandarin – This zesty red-orange shade is bold enough for late nights at the cantina, yet also wearable for everyday adventures out in the sun.
Maybelline Color Elixer in Mandarin Rapture ($8.99)
Modcloth Dots of Promise Sandals in Mandarin ($34.99)
