Fab Friday Finds: Emerald, 2013 Color of the Year!

Happy Holidays, NewlyWishers! For those of your who celebrated this week, we hope you had a wonderful time with your family, easy and safe travel and enjoyed some all around merriment!

As December 31st approaches (and we know we safely made it through the “End of the World”) we are getting excited for our New Year’s plans! And to help us ring in the New Year (and pick out all the best outfits, accessories and decorations for your New Year’s Eve plans) we wanted to introduce you to the 2013 Pantone Color of the Year: Emerald!  Pantone, renowned color specialists, say that the color is, “Lively. Radiant. Lush… a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.” The color represents, among many things, healing, positivity, rejuvenation  and energy and fashion experts are already raving about the potential color stories and favorite color pairings. What colors do we hear go best with emerald? Be lively and radiant with bold yellows and oranges; for a lush look go with rich purples, blues, reds, blacks and golds; and bring out your inner balance and harmony with greys, whites and muted blues.

Here are some of our favorite products in this year’s color. From home decor essentials to beauty must-haves, these products allow you to mix-and-match Emerald with your everyday essentials.

3. The splashes of color in these fun Marakesh glasses, made from recyclable glass, make sure no one will take their cocktail too seriously.
4. The simple, geometric quality of this long pendant necklace, which features three vintage, pyramid-shaped gemstones in hand-carved settings is part of the Loren Hope collection, which offers an evolving line of upscale, handcrafted, eco-friendly jewelry.
5. Essie’s ‘Going Incognito‘ is the perfect way to incorporate emerald into your everyday wardrobe without going overboard.
6. A perfect gift for your guy — Burt Sugar, award winning sports writer, takes readers deep into the Hall of Fame as never before in this book bound in beautiful, emerald green calf-skin leather.
7. We love the uniqueness of this naturally-processed pillow, featuring an emerald scarab, a prominent spiritual symbol in ancient Egypt.

Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
