She whom you can neither name nor measure...

Legend states that Aphrodite, the Greek Goddess of love, beauty and sexuality was actually born out of sea-foam. For a goddess who had many lovers and whose beauty could incite war it is fitting that the descriptors for Sea Foam (Pantone 12-0313) are Capable, Enterprising and Talented.

July 13th's color, Sea Foam, encourages action, joy and participation with others... all things that Aphrodite had no problems with- so why not bring a little into your life.

When paired with tomato red it gives a fresh feel that is a far cry from the sea foam schemes of the early nineties florida style I instantly think of when i hear the word sea foam..

the sea foam accents are soothing and complementing of  the neutrals while the red pops and enlivens the whole room

Aphrodite's not the only thing to come from the sea foam...sea shells look perfectly at home on display against a sea foam wall

golden accents sparkle like the sun in a sea foam and neutral palette

I have a huge weakness for sea glass and old bottles... group them in clusters where the sun can catch them or use them for impromptu vases for flowers from your yard...

and it's not just for your walls- sea foam actually looks amazing with a deep golden tan (full disclosure- I feel 31 is a bit too old for sea foam nails but if I was 16 again I would totaly rock it!)

I found these beauties on Etsy... summer tan + flowy sundress+ sea foam earrings= summertime chic
