It’s not about the environment, but the color: emerald is hot this year<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ATTENTION: Emerald Green is the official \u201cColor of the Year\u201d according to the experts at Pantone, LLC.\u00a0 And, apparently, they are the (self-proclaimed) authorities on this issue.<\/p>\n

Hey, I\u2019m not going to argue.\u00a0 I happen to agree that it is a pretty fantastic shade that looks great on almost every skin tone. \u00a0(Although, as a redhead, I tend to restrict any overload of green so as not to resemble a leprechaun).<\/p>\n

For almost a decade, Pantone\u2019s Color of the Year has had a HUGE impact on everything from fashion to home d\u00e9cor to graphic design.\u00a0 If you didn\u2019t know (and, let\u2019s face it, you SHOULD have), last year Tangerine Tango was ALL the rage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Legend has it (on Wikipedia) that the execs at Pantone convene to a secret European location with other world-renowned color connoisseurs to debate for two days as to the year\u2019s signature hue.\u00a0 I find this humorous because, if Wikipedia is a reliable source (OF COURSE!), Pantone LLC is based in New Jersey.\u00a0 I guess having a meeting in an undisclosed European city seems slightly more highbrow.<\/p>\n

Emerald Green was selected for 2013 for its symbolic representation of growth, rebirth and renewal. Something we can all use, I suppose.<\/p>\n

*little known fact:<\/p>\n

The human eye perceives more green than any other color in the spectrum.<\/p>\n

*Don\u2019t ever say that you learn nothing when you read this column on Sundays\u2026.I just earned you \u201cthe win\u201d the next time you play Trivial Pursuit<\/p>\n

How can you incorporate Emerald Green into your life thereby appearing oh-so-fashionable and on trend?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Try these colored jeans with a white button down blouse and brown leather boots! (the cheetah belt is also adorbs!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>A stunning green smoky eye!\u00a0 Sephora will be doing an exclusive Pantone-inspired line of cosmetics available in March!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>How about a pop of emerald in a statement shoe?\u00a0 I NEED these\u2026.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Don\u2019t forget home d\u00e9cor!\u00a0 (this is not the time for Hunter Green\u2026EMERALD only. Hunter is sooooooo 2003.)<\/p>\n

Now that you are \u201cin the know\u201d about the color of the year, look out for it! And, educate your friends who (obviously) aren\u2019t nearly as sophisticated and well read.<\/p>\n

Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
