Hello, Gorgeous!

The world has gone absolutely nuts for pistachio, and I'm here for every single shade and flavor.

Earlier this summer we were informed that butter yellow was the color of the moment. And it was. Briefly. But as the days get shorter and summer vibe segues to fall, pistachio is a better option.

Pistachio is less shocking than summer’s most vibrant shades, and a nicely mellow alternative to pastels. Beyond that, the fascination with pistachio scented and flavored everything is here to stay.

Go for the green

Pistachio as a color is surprisingly flattering. Slightly lighter than sage, slightly punchier than mint, pistachio offers a bit of a playful challenge. Sometimes you’ll find pistachio-hued products that have a hint of zesty yellow to them. I tend to find blue undertones in pistachio are more flattering to most complexions.

Here’s a short list of pistachio products you might love:

Ease into autumn with a head to toe pistachio inspired accessories.
