Friday's Fancies: Elegant Emerald

It's no secret that I am obsessed with the color green. I'm not discriminatory; I love almost every shade of the color out there (currently sporting mint jeans, though!) - so I couldn't be more ecstatic that it has finally come back into fashion in the last year in the saturated hue of emerald.

Now that Pantone has named it the official color of the year, I'm expecting even more retailers to be jumping on the trend - especially the less couture and more affordable ones - which means danger for my wallet, but happiness in my closet!

I, of course, was beyond excited for this week's Friday's Fancies to be focusing on emerald - I love it so much I have actually done a past Friday's Fancies board on the same hue! My last green love board was based on a casual, everyday look, so I thought this time around I'd class up the color for a fancy nighttime ensemble.

Fur Stole | Maxi Dress | iPhone Case  also love this | Earrings | Bracelet | Leather Gloves | Cream Eyeshadow | Dome Satchel | Feather Pump | Gold-Flecked Emerald Polish (amazing one-coater; absolute favorite!)

While I might not rock all of these pieces together (I have to admit there is a possibility of too much green!), I would absolutely pair the gown with that (gorgeous) bracelet, the stole, and of course, the perfect polish.

Are you a green lover? What's your favorite way to sport this trendy hue?

Friday's Fancies: Monochromatic Forest

I am a lifelong green lover. Chartreuse, kelly, pine, emerald, mint, olive - you name it, I love it. I'm actually wearing three different shades of green as I type this (kelly green striped tee, DY peridot ring, green amber ring)...

So of course, the first thing that came to mind when I started to think about this week's "marvelous monochrome" Friday's Fancies was green. But not just any green - deep, saturated, fall-y green. And nothing says autumn better than woodsy tones - hunter, forest, pine - whatever you choose to call them, they're my go-to's when the weather gets chilly.

I may not be chic enough to pull off this monochromatic look, but that won't stop me from pine-ing (okay, pun intended) after these gorgeous green beauties.

Green sweater / Equipment silk blouse / McQ by Alexander McQueen pleated skirt / J.Crew tall pants / Kate Spade high heels / Penelope Chilvers green boots, $425 / Hunter boots, $115 / J.Crew kitten heels / Yves Saint Laurent / Zip bag / Tory Burch / Essie nail polish / Signature Studs Calf Hair Cuff

Saturated green velvet, haircalf, lizard and silk? Doesn't get much better than that, my friends.

Are you a green lover or a green hater? Would you rock a monochromatic forest green ensemble?
