Not just for serving with chocolate chips, mint is one of the easiest of this seasons candy shades to work in the corporate world.

Mint accessories are a subtle way to add a trend to your current spring wardrobe.

My beloved Modalu Pippa Bag now comes in a mint shade and although a little too high to be taken seriously - I love the mint patent on these SportMax heels.

...and of course, use liberally in after-work Mojitos..

Returning to work in torrential rain and wind with a bad cold and the terrible news that Lemsip Max is 50kcal?

Seeing the cherry red Modalu Pippa bag on your desk makes eveything better (trust me!).

It's a beautiful leather well crafted bag for a releatively reasonable £195 (compared to other branded bags) and from a British brand.

It also comes in some other sunny colours including a cute orange (potentially on my summer bag list) and (Excitement) there's a matching laptop bag.

 I promise to stop blogging about red bags. Honest.
