PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR

I’m so excited that the Pantone color of 2013 is Emerald! It has always been one of my favorite colors to wear throughout the year. I use it as a pop of fun against the dull dark tones of Winter and find I can pair it with with bright yellows, pinks, and oranges in the Spring and Summer.  Emerald is a color of “radiance” and “elegance” so don’t be afraid to dress up a casual night out with gorgeous gem earrings! It’s feminine, calm, and fun! I think this color works well with most skin tones and really brings out hazel to green eyes.  One of my favorite eyeliners is a Jaguar Luxury Cosmetics pencil in Emerald – it lasts all day and is a deal!

Pictured above are emerald gem drops from BaubleBar.  You can find similar ones here.  Obsessed with crossbody bags, I snagged this green bag from Shop4Sparkles, which was featured in the most recent People StyleWatch.

Check out the other colors for Spring fashion including violet, grayed jade, lemon, and monaco blue!  Still have a closet full of Tangerine from last year? No worries, orange isn’t leaving the fashion world immediately, and, luckily enough, it goes well with green!
