friday's fancies #111.

A very happy Friday to you, friends! Last September, I shared the full Pantone Color Report for Spring 2013--and already had a crush on the lush emerald green tone. When Pantone announced that emerald was the color of the year, I knew we had to devote a week of Friday's Fancies to this luscious shade. As a May baby, I'm partial to emerald because it is my birthstone, but I can't wait to see so much more of it this year. Here's how I'd love to wear emerald, if money were no object...

  6. That dress is adorable! Time to invest in some key emerald pieces for the year... and a stunning dress is a great place to start! And I'm jealous that you have such a pretty birthstone... November topaz is so 70's! Bah!

  9. I'm a May baby, too! I somehow feel that this whole "color of the year" being emerald is a sign of wonderful luck for May babies everywhere. At least that's what I'm telling myself :) Love this week's theme!
