“Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.”
~ Pantone website re: its “2013 Color of the Year” ~ Emerald Green
It’s Saint Paddy’s Day! And since I’m not Irish {and green beer isn’t my thing}, I thought I’d celebrate with some gorgeous pictures of Pantone’s “it” color, Emerald Green. I’ve always loved wearing green and the color just screams SPRING! Even splashes of the color in accessories is a great way to go. {Who can forget Angelina Jolie’s stunning tear drop earrings at the 2009 Academy Awards?} Vogue gives you 17 ways to wear green for the holiday if you need some inspiration.
I also love being surrounded by the happy color and am about to paint my sunroom green to perk it up a bit.
These shoes are DARLING. I have them in a nude patent, but I must say… the green is a show-stopper!
Remember the fabulous emerald green gown Kiera Knightly wore in “Atonement?” ClothesonFilm.com notes, “This emerald green dress from “Atonement” could be the most famous item of clothing on film in the last decade. In fact, …it was recently voted “Best Costume of All Time” by Sky Movies and readers of InStyle.” Absolutely stunning ~ and created from scratch by costume designer Jacqueline Durran.
Happy St. Paddy’s!
Great post, Claire!
