Jan 2, 2013 >> Green Queen! 2013 Color Trend Report

Emerald Green is Pantone’s top color for 2013—we say, yes please! To help get in the ’13 spirit, G&F’s resident style expert, Helen Berkun, shares some of her top picks for a very green (and stylish!) year.

[A] TORI BURCH iPHONE CASE and  [B] SERAFINA GOLD SNAKE BRACELET 
According to the Chinese calendar 2013 is the year of the snake, and according to PANTONE it’s the year of Emerald. This case is a perfect combination of both!

[C] FORNASETTI MIRROR
I’ve always loved the Greek key. Not only is it one of the more influential graphics in history it’s also a symbol of infinity and unity. Perfect way to start the new year!

[D] GIVENCHY IPAD CASE
Back in the day, I used to have a portfolio, which I used to spend hundreds of dollars on to make sure it was the perfect leather bound book for my clients to see. Today, my portfolio has transformed into an iPad and this to me is the perfect bounding for it!

[E] FORNASETTI CHAIR
I think every home should have a conversation piece. Just looking at it makes me smile.

[F] VALENTINO ROCKSTUD GREEN BAG
I’m really smitten with the Valentino “ROCKSTUD” collection. Being a rocker girl at heart, not only does this carryall scream ROCK it’s also the perfect shade of Emerald (my birth stone) that matches virtually anything in my closet.

[G] DEBORAH LIPPMAN’S BILLIONAIRE
Even though this color is called Billionaire, that’s not why I love it. I love dark hues on nails. Regardless of the current nail art trends, I think it’s sexy to have short, clean, classic nails
