Let's discuss how obsessed with GiGi New York's new fall collection I am. These colors are rich, luxurious and absolutely gorgeous. The burgundy is spot on for the oxblood fall trend and you'll remember that emerald was named by Pantone as the color of the year. And grey goes with practically everything in your wardrobe. I'm not even in lust.. I'm in full on love.

 

All the styles above are available in each of the fall colors. I've got my eye on the emerald Hayden satchel and the burgundy Elle Cross body (also comes in a gorgeous saddle tan color) But truth be told, any of these beauties would be a welcome addition to my collection! So pretty!

Although the 1st day of summer isn't due for another few days, the hot weather certainly came early this year! We've had gorgeous sunny days with temps in the mid 80's for a few weeks now, and even though I'm still not used the humidity, I welcome any warm weather with open arms.

 

Enter Twelve Saturdays. You'll remember I fell in love with this Game Day shop last fall after discovering that they stock super cute, on trend and school color themed outfits! But did you know that Twelve Saturdays doesn't just offer fabulous options for your favorite team? Liz has got a whole bevvy of options that can transition you to and from any summer soiree!

 

This emerald option (in the official 2013 hue!) is lightweight, breezy and will keep you cool while the mercury rises. The shoulder cutouts are a nod to the 80's but the demure hemline and waist belt keep it fresh and current. I think it's the perfect travel option taking you from the beach to dinner while you're on your summer vacay. Don't forget to stop by Twelve Saturdays and see all the great options Liz has! Also be on the lookout for new game day wear which should be showing up shortly!

Pantone Color of the Year 2013: Emerald!

Have you guys heard the news? Pantone has announced 2013's color and it's Emerald! A gorgeous and lovely choice if I do say so myself.  Pantone's experts are calling it a "lively, radiant, lush green" which sounds fabulous. I was actually inspired by this color last year, so I'm thrilled that it's showing up again for the next year.

Pantone believes Emerald will be a major trend for both Fashion & Beauty saying that it's "classic elegance makes for striking and irresistible women’s formal and everyday wear as well as accessories" We'll probably be seeing a lot of green eye makeup as well since it's a "perfect complement to peaches, pinks, roses, ruby reds and aubergines – offering a variety of lipstick and blush options." Oh and stay tuned since Pantone + Sephora are planning "Beauty Of The Year" collaboration featuring this gorgeous jewel tone!

So what do you guys think? Are you planning on scooping up this color in tops, tees, dresses, jewels etc...? I'm sure I will! Happy Friday!! xoxo
