Embracing Emerald Green
Emerald has emerged as the must-have hue for 2013 thanks to Pantone crowning it as the color of the year. The eye-catching gem tone makes a vibrant addition to any closet or makeup bag, which is why we're rounding up 50 of our favorite emerald beauty and style picks of the year so far.
1
Cable knit sweater

Brighten up your sweater collection by snapping up this Marc by Marc Jacobs cable-knit merino wool sweater in eye-catching emerald (net-a-portet.com, $250).
2
Sparkle polish

Is there anything more fun that sparkly nails? We didn't think so, which is why we'll be giving ourselves an at-home mani with Nails Inc. Piccadilly Arcade, a gorgeous glittery green top coat (beautybay.com, $16).
3
Asymmetric dress

Dance the night away and look great doing it in this emerald green chiffon dress with asymmetric design cinched at the waist with a skinny gold belt (dorothyperkins.com, $44).

Tank dress

Slip on this emerald green tank dress with loose trapeze silhouette (threadsense.com, $36) over any long-sleeve tee with knit tights for an easy-wearing, yet stylish cold weather look.
6
Stretch bracelet

Give any outfit a pretty, emerald-hued boost with this chunky stretch bracelet featuring bold emerald green stones set in gold-tone oval sections (shopruche.com, $15).
7
Eye shadow cream

We suggest trading powder shadow for a much longer-lasting cream formula during the dry winter months. Try Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in emerald green to brighten up your eyes (sephora.com, $23).

Faux snakeskin clutch

Embrace two hot trends — emerald and animal print — with this cute faux snakeskin clutch with adjustable shoulder strap and box clasp (misskl.com, $50).

It's easy to add elegance to any ensemble when you put on a pair of drop earrings. We're currently coveting this emerald green pair featuring two teardrop-shaped stones (maxandchloe.com, $65).
10
Velvet dress

There's something about velvet that just screams glamour, which is why we were attracted to this Vince Camuto cap-sleeve cocktail dress in emerald (macys.com, $90).
11
Eye pencil

Leave it to the beauty experts at Giorgio Armani to create an eye pencil that looks as luxurious as it feels going on. The Smooth Silk Eye Pencil in emerald is an easy way to add the much-coveted hue to your makeup bag (giorgioarmanibeauty-use.com, $28).
12
Jeggings

They're not jeans, they're not leggings, they're an ultra-comfy hybrid of both, and we're loving this pair of jeggings in emerald, our newest go-to hue of the season (dorothyperkins.com, $39).
13
Silk tank

It may be cold outside, but you can still make use of this emerald green silk tank (pixiemarket.com, $47) by layering it under a blazer, cardigan or even a sheer blouse.

Nail polish

Make your mani the star of the show by painting your nails with RGB Nail Color in sea, a rich take on this season's hottest hue (beauty.com, $16).
