inspiration -- emerald.

 
www.6pm.com; $18
I have a serious love right now for delicate little necklaces, and this Gorjana one is positively to die for.  Tiny and sweet, the melded hearts are just slightly imperfect and are completely unique.  This would be just darling with a cocktail dress or peeking out from under a button-down, adding a tiny bit of sparkle to an everyday look.

Ever since Pantone named it the Color of the Year for 2013, I've seen emerald popping up everywhere.  It's always been one of my favorite colors to wear: it's rich, pretty, and almost universally flattering.  It's dark and understated and can stand in for a neutral, but is bold enough to stand on its own as well.  Whether in a pretty cocktail dress, a chic pair of corduroys, or a pair of suede booties, this multi-seasonal shade is sure to help you stand out all year long.


Wishing you all a happy weekend -- what's inspiring YOU today?

Ever since emerald was announced as the color of the year I've been dying to add some to my closet - but I can not seem to find a really good, true emerald piece, like that of the elegant maxi and pleated dress in your inspiration collage.

Great picks for your collage images, Josie!! It's a yummy assortment of emerald goodies :) I'm definitely glad it's been named the Color of the Year because I love the way it looks with my skin tone.

I am LOVING that emerald is the color of the year. It is such a wearable color. It looks lush and has a sophisticated feel. I remember how put off I was by tangerine.. Good for eating, not for wearing when it comes to my skin tone!
