Feel Fresh Friday: The Life Aquatic

         Another big trend on the runways this year was the aquatic trend.  Tapping into our love of the deep blue sea, designers utilized a broad spectrum of aquatic shades.  With deep blues and sea-foam greens, its hard not to find at least one way to adapt this trend into your wardrobe.  Think sandy browns, iridescent whites, and bright corals.
