I have just fallen in love with emerald all over again! Lately, I’ve been seeing this colour in stores everywhere (H&M, Zara, Forever21, the usual…) and I just think it’s a perfect colour to transition into Fall with.
Emerald just so happens to be my birth stone (I’m a May baby), so it makes for a good excuse to invest in some jewels. It is a very expensive stone, unfortunately, so I might have to stick with costume jewellery for the time being!
And since green is on my mind, I must confess: I am so sick of mint green!!!! It may be slightly hypocritical of me to announce that while looking at my mint nail polish, but I had to say it. I am planning to retire the colour until next spring. Who’s with me?
I love emerald because it is such a rich and regal colour. Pair it with gold accents and you’ll have your fellow fashionistas green with envy! I also love it when contrasted again cobalt blue.
Here are some images that have inspired me to embrace emerald this fall:
Satin Trousers from Zara – $49.90
Show off your body in this fitted dress from Forever 21 for $10.50! (I do not recommend pairing this little number with hooker heels!)
Yves Saint Lauren Cabas Chyc leather tote – $2150 from Net-A-Porter. I would LOVE a YSL bag before they change names to “Saint Laurent Paris”… sigh.

What other colours are you looking forward to wearing this fall?
Always chic,

jewel tones are so hot for fall and I love them! the first pic with the bracelets make me a but green with envy. I am also loving maroon and garnet for fall
Glad you agree!! And garnet and maroon are great choices for Fall. I’ve noticed them a lot in stores lately as well. Xx
I am loving berry and emerald EXTRA lately!
Do you know any good places to get chiffon maxi skirts in jewel tones, and some lighter colors like turquoise, mint, coral, etc? I’ve been looking everywhere and the only ones I can find are not really all that great quality, they aren’t the right color/fabric, or it’s perfect and just doesn’t come in a small enough size!! Thank you so much for the help (:
Hi there,
I know that maxi skirts are harder to come across once summer is over. I would keep checking Forever 21 (there website is great – a lot more inventory than in stores) for maxi skirts.
I found this one on Asos but it’s out of stock!

Otherwise, I found this purple one @ Forever 21 with a cute leather trim – and their sizes fit pretty small.
