With the imminent arrival of spring and the promise of St Patrick's Day, I've got my mind on glorious green. Emerald Green, chosen by Pantone as the colour of 2013, is said to be "Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony." and I rather fancy we could all do with a bit of that!
The favourite item I own in this verdant hue is a velvet cord coat that I have had for years. It's not vintage, but it has a classic seventies feel to it don't you think?

When it comes to using emerald green in both in your home and your outfits, I think it's great partnered with florals for a natural look.
Combining green with its two base hues can create different moods. Put it together with yellow to create a bright and energising look, or go for a softer style by wearing it with blue. I love to combine emerald hues with other jewel tones and can never resist the classic Suffragette combination of green and purple.
So there's a few ideas of how to use emerald green in your home and wardrobe. What do you think - is it a colour that you will experiment with?
