To keep the theme of green going all week, and to honor the color of luck, today is all about things inspired by the color. Choosing a variety of mediums that all use this dominant color was not very hard, as I actually have a lot of things that use it. I didn't just want to feature fashion in this, so there are books, paper goods, bath bombs, jewelry and even something to drink out of! This is slowly becoming one of my favorite colors, and I love how appropriate it is for St. Paddy's Day.

  1. Classic Long-Sleeve Twill Top in Army Green - Old Navy: It may no longer be on the website, or even in stores, but this was such a brilliant find. Not only is it light enough to wear with layers, but it can so easily be worn by its own. I've worn it quite a few times, and it's a go-to when I'm feeling the need for army green in my day. 
  2. Secrets of A Charmed Life by Susan Meissner - Barnes & Noble: "She stood at a crossroads, half-aware that her choice would send her down a path from which there could be no turning back. But instead of two choices, she saw only one—because it was all she really wanted to see.." I'm currently on p. 258 of this novel, and am so intrigued. It was a bit of a slow start, and I wasn't entirely sure which direction it was going to go into, but I'm now in the thick of the story and it's so good! If you enjoy stories about 1940s England, and people surviving such atrocities, this is definitely something to check out. 
  3. 'You Look Great' art print - Thimblepress x The Glitter Guide: An original, hand-drawn  print that offers words of encouragement. Had to include this!
  4. Claddagh Ring Mug - Minnesota Renaissance Festival: This mug might look a little familiar, as I used it a lot last year, but it's one of my favorite mugs to get in the spirit of the holiday. It's a pretty special mug to own, since it was handmade as well.
  5. Ireland from the Air by Peter Somerville-Large - Amazon: A pretty spectacular coffee table book to own. Every photo captures the beauty of Ireland in magnificent detail, so much so that it actually feels as if you're flying over every picture. Another benefit? It's literally only $1 now to purchase.
  6. Sinus Congestion Relief Bath Bomb - Rejuvelle: I usually use Lush Cosmetics bath bombs, but my sister purchased this brand over the holidays for me. This bath bomb comes in a gift set, with a variety of different scents, and this one was definitely my favorite. It immediately helps with your sinuses and you feel refreshed once you step out of the tub. 
  7. Sister Cameo Necklace - Etsy: Another gift I received from my sister, and it's so beautiful! Finding it on Etsy made it extra special, since she was able to engrave it with a saying on the back.

COLOR INSPIRATION: ALL THINGS GREEN
With the week ranging from the 70s to low 50s, I am now officially itching for breaking out my spring wardrobe. Putting away heavy layers and bringing color back into daily outfits, and also accessorizing with fun hats and comfortable sandals. Almost every retailer now has their spring collections out, and I am so excited to see what I can find when I start browsing. ASOS Curve has some beautiful maxi dresses, Old Navy has a pair of block-heel sandals that were beyond comfortable trying on and Addition Elle has a new spring dress collection by Nicolette Mason! Shop all of spring picks below!

THESE THINGS: THINK SPRING

I wasn't too fond of this color when I first saw it, but it's slowly growing on me. Especially since it reminds me so much of like a cranberry/burgundy color.. but nonetheless! Marsala is officially the color of 2015, which means that you can easily incorporate it into your wardrobe throughout the seasons! A seductive and classy color that is definitely inspired by wine, and is super versatile for any skin color. Check out these rich Marsala looks from designers Burberry Prorsum, No. 21 and Valentino.


 
The executive director for Pantone, Leatrice Eiseman, said in a press release that the color will bring us back to simpler times: "This tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness." Marsala is definitely more of a rich color, but what I like about it for spring is that it is more neutral and you can mix and match with it. There are so many different hues that the color comes in, you can dress it up or dress it down! Here's an outfit I would put together if I chose to opt for Marsala! What do you think of this Color of the Year?!

SPRING 2015 COLOR TREND: MARSALA
Once I heard that Dazzling Blue was an official color for spring 2014, I had to focus a color post on it. This blue isn't just a normal blue, it's a rich color that can really be paired with anything. It's bold and a wonderful accent to a neutral color tone. It's warm and inviting and should be great to wear this season!

COLOR INSPIRATION: DAZZLING BLUE

 Happy 1st of March everyone! It's very hard to believe we're already in the third month of 2014 and quickly approaching spring! I, for one, am very happy about this revelation and wanted to share a great trend to make the transition into the new season super easy for you all.
  
Hunter green. That's what fashion experts are saying is the 'it' color for this upcoming season and I'm pretty happy about it. While some of you might think of it as being more of a fall color, it instantly makes me think of St. Patrick's Day and all things Irish, so you can't really go wrong in that area. In Lucky magazine's March issue, Alexis Bryan Morgan says, "It's sort of...the new oxblood." She also says that you can mix and contrast the color with brighter pastels, or a great hue of navy to give it a richer feel. The other benefit of this great color is that it also goes with the official color for 2014, Radiant Orchid and I personally like mixing navy and green together so I think I am definitely going to incorporate it into my wardrobe when I am able to finally update it for this season. Check out some great runway looks that featured this color and then I put together a fun outfit that I am thinking of buying in a heartbeat!
