A Twist of Lime

Time to add yet another twist to your wardrobe....How about lime? If someone's showing you their sour face, add some sweetness to their day by showing up in this gorgeous dome-button coat from Talbots. This is one way to really go green, especially if June gloom goes beyond June! You can also wear the cool coat on a cool summer evening and then carry it right into fall. And for a fresh new look on a summer day, squeeze into a little citrus with these lime green blouses also from Talbots: a cotton silk pinwheel print, and a lady-like loop-trim poplin shirt.

And of course, you can always dress up your favorite summer attire with lime accessories like this Ted Baker logo flap clutch from Nordstrom's and the always elegant Kate Spade who showcases her own twist on lime with this fabulous birds of a feather bangle at Piperlime.

Wear what you eat and eat what your wear....that means Lime is on the menu. Vitamin C in Lime keeps your gums healthy, so you can flash those pearly whites with confidence. And ladies, as we've learned from previous posts...the Vitamin C helps rejuvenate your skin. Lime juice and it's oils protect skin from infections and reduces body odor. Some tribes even use it as deodorant. But if you're not living in a primitive village, sweetheart, please, please keep the deodorant! Still, you can squeeze some lime into your water to help with digestion and constipation. And did I mention weight loss? Citric acid in lime is an excellent fat-burner. A glass of warm water with lime juice can help reduce your weight as well as provide a brilliantly refreshing anti-oxidant drink. Anti-oxidants eat up the bad cells called free radicals that can be harmful to your body. The best time for lime is May through October so you'll be able to enjoy them on the cheap for a few more weeks.

That's it for now. Keep puckering up with lime, and remember with Palette 2 Palate, color is in all year 'round!
