The new Burberry Brights eyewear collection for Spring/Summer 2011 features bright colors like lime green, aqua, purple, and orange. You can pick up a pair for $250 at Burberry.com.





I typically shy away from colorful sunglasses but the latest ad campaigns shot by Mario Testino look so chic and sophisticated, I've found myself reconsidering.





I saw these brightly colored sunglasses at Target by Xhilaration ($19.99) and was instantly reminded of the Burberry styles. It might be a good way to try the trend before investing in the real deal.





What do you think, are you a fan of colorful sunglasses this season?

I normally stick to fashion on this blog, but when I heard about a new book by Kim Haasarud, 101 Mojitos & Other Muddled Drinks - I just had to share. The mojito - a refreshing mix of rum, mint and lime, is one of my all-time favorite drinks, and it's perfect for summer. In 101 Mojitos, Kim shows you how to perfect this quick and easy yet oh-so-impressive drink, plus fun new ways to vary the recipe using fresh fruit, veggies and herbs, including a Black & Blue Mojito, Cucumber Cilantro Mojito, Cucumber Tomato Mojito, and Strawberry Basil Smash (get the recipe below!)

Is your mouth watering yet? Then keep reading to find out how you can enter to win a copy of the book, signed by the author!

Recently Banana Republic sent me this silk ikat twist strap dress ($130) and I did not hesitate to wear it for a day of running errands in the extreme heat. Paired with simple gold sandals and a straw tote (forgot to include it in my photo), this colorful dress proved to be all I needed to stay comfortable while still looking presentable.
