And Pantone's Colour of 2013 Is....

   Guessed it yet? Yes, it is EMERALD GREEN (17-5641). It has been described as "Lively. Radiant. Lush... a colour of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony". My advice - if you want to make a statement this New Years, grab yourself either glamorous full length silk dress or a high impact, fully sequinned mini dress in this rich shade, and you will be guaranteed to make an entrance! This can also be translated into interiors as well, using the shade on walls in richly coloured rooms, within the furniture or even just update the décor for a subtle impact.

   Previous winners of 'colour of the year' have included Tangerine Tango in 2012, in 2011 it was Honeysuckle Pink and for 2010 it was Turquoise. I don't know about you, but certainly makes me think back to some of the collections during those years of which used those colours. What were your favourite pieces?
