Red and green are the official holiday colors, with red getting the major push usually, but this year why not switch things up and GO GREEN! Pantone just released the IT color for 2012 and it’s emerald green! Totally jump on the trend a month early and show everyone what’s up! I’m going to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of green, but of all the shades emerald is my favorite and most opulent! So I need to work my green in with small doses… enter in nails and accessories!


Pairing gold with the green take the opulence to the next level! Essie Sytlenomics is a green so deep its almost black which works great for someone like me who isn’t 100% on green nails. Julep Oscar is the perfect gold to add some glimmer. And I just enjoy the name Stylenomics… its like you take my college major, Economics and put it with something I like, Style and you get this!!! It’s the small things in life 🙂
The killer ring and green bracelet trio are from mark. They add just enough green to be eye catching and glimmer with the gold to be holiday-tastic! I can not stop wearing these pieces! You can shop the Serious Rock Ring and Sparks Fly bracelet set at http://ahessinger.mymarkstore.com

And just for fun you can see how a little bit of green goes a long way!
