Fashion and Interiors: Elegant Emerald

January 24, 2013

What do you think of when you think of emerald?

I think of Elizabeth Taylor’s resplendent jewels, peacocks, and the Wizard of Oz (blogger buddy Kim also posted about the upcoming OPI and Urban Decay Oz products!) Emerald is this year’s color as announced by Pantone.  It isn’t punchy, it isn’t bold, but it is undeniably elegant.

“Green is the most abundant hue in nature – the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum. Emerald, a perfectly balanced green, is a mix of warm and cool, which makes it so versatile and flattering to many skin tones,” noted Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world.“

I love the idea of renewal and rejuvenation and here so I hope that this colors brings that to you too friends!

Here are a few favorite instances of emerald in the home and closet:

    The earrings and the handbag are great! Green is my husband’s favorite color. I’ve never thought about it for home decor, but these inspiration photos are fantastic.

    I’ve never really worn much green but it’s a color I’m looking forward to incorporating into my wardrobe more this year 🙂

    Hope you’re enjoying Boracay! It’s absolutely freezing in NYC this week!

    I’m in love with the color and it’s boldness inspired my blog’s redesign this year. I just love how rich the color is. And you can use it anymore from a gorgeous gown to furniture for your home. love the photos you shared.
