Pantone Color of the Year announced for 2013

We were tickled, um, GREEN, when Pantone announced their color of 2013 as Emerald Green. I love the color green and am so excited to see this appear in Chicago weddings and all things fashion, weddings, beauty and home. So today I pay homage to Emerald Green with some great finds!

Nothing better than rocking green earrings for your rehearsal dinner or even for your wedding. These emerald green  beauties  are available in my Stella and Dot Store here. Add a cute ring with it for yourself or even your bridesmaids gifts.

And remember Carrie’s blue wedding shoes in Sex in the City? I know we will see more green wedding shoes under our bride’s dresses this coming year.  These can be purchased at Zappos.
