RE-VISTING EMERALD - THE COLOR OF THE YEAR FOR 2013...

Let's take another look at the Color of the Year for 2013, Emerald! Since this color carries a lot of weight on its shoulder as the foundation hue for both fashion and interiors, its high time I give it some overdue attention before the new color for 2014 is announced...

Its everywhere - in fashion...

and accessories...

Stella & Dot

Chanel

Christian Louboutin

and in jewelry...

Serenity Drop Earrings in Jade by Stella & Dot

So its only natural that interiors follow suit with elements of Emerald in everything - window treatments, paint color, carpet and furniture...

But my favorite Emerald of all is still the classic stone...

Until the Pantone announces the new color of the year (with much anticipation), let's continue to enjoy this festive color. In the meantime, happy trend spotting...

Peace and Blessings,

VERSATILITY AT ITS BEST ...

One of the continuing themes for Stella & Dot jewelry is VERSATILITY. The Fall 2013 Collection is no different. 

Every season Stella & Dot takes cues from runway fashion, design and architecture and combine these ideas to be "on trend" without being "faddish." The design team goes a step further by asking 3 simple questions:  Is it so WEARABLE she'll be transformed from simple to stylish by slipping it on? Is it VERSATILE enough to go from day to night? Is it completely IRRESISTIBLE that she will fall in "must-have" love? So let's take a look at some of the versatility stars of the Fall season...

The Sutton Necklace is a multi-textural, mixed metal statement piece with a touch of bling...

that can be worn five different ways.

The versatility continues with the Mae, the Christina Link and Somervell Necklaces. Each piece can be worn separately for a wonderful look...
