Color Spotlight: Emerald ft. Saks Fifth Avenue

As the season begins to transition from autumn to winter, my color for the winter season has become emerald. This jewel tone is luscious, deep, and alluring-- making it my current obsession. While the bright and punchy Bottega green has become a high seller in the last 12 months, I can't help but continue to return to the classically timeless feel of an emerald green.

Emerald green clothing, jewelry, and shoes can be incredibly versatile, making it one of the reasons I love the color so much. From the obvious pairings of emerald green and beigey-neutrals to the monochromatic pairings of other shades of green such as the Bottega green, this tone also works well with warmer colors like peach, pink, or even darker purples.

To me, emerald green symbolizes luxury and sophistication as well as balance and nature, making it a shade that works in settings ranging from formal to streetwear. Below are some of my top picks from Saks Fifth Avenue for your wardrobe this next season!

Jewelry

These Kenneth Jay Lane Double Teardrop earrings are a perfect statement piece for a night at a gala or drinks with friends in the city. At $150, these earrings are budget-friendly and perfect to gift a friend, loved one, or even yourself.

Saks-exclusive, this Spinelli Kilcollin Triple-Band ring is an adaptable piece of jewelry that can act both as an every day accessory or special occasion addition.

I've been on the hunt for a necklace to wear out for my sororities formal date event and other semi-formal occasions and with my neutral-dominant wardrobe, this Ela Rae 14k Gold-Plated necklace is a perfect pick, and won't break the bank. It's currently on sale for $138.60!

An everyday staple to give every look a hint of elegance, this Saks Fifth Avenue Collection Tennis Bracelet is a stunning yet simple bracelet good for layering, but can also hold its own.

Apparel

As the weather gets colder, this LaQuan Smith Shearling Coat will keep you warm. Oversized and chic, this shearling lined coat will make a glamorous statement no matter where you go.

This Wayf Peyton Tie-Front Blouse is Christmas party ready, and pairs perfectly with these Max Mara trousers and these Loeffler Randall Bow Embellished Suede Mules.

Leather pants can be worn year round, and while the Alice + Olivia Vegan Leather pants would pair well with a lightweight blouse in the warmer months, they would pair perfectly with this Bottega Veneta sweater for a fashionable monochromatic look.

Alice + Olivia's One Shoulder Maxi Dress is this winter's wedding guest-approved pick. This satin dress will give the wearer an air elegance. Finish off the look with this Cult Gaia Enid Clutch or this Cult Gaia Nia clutch.

Shoes

Although these Manolo Blahnik Satin Mules are only listed as being "green," I had to include them. My captivation with the brand Manolo Blahnik started with Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City and has continued ever since, so a pair of Blahnik's sumptuous pumps had to make an appearance.
