Unless you’ve been avoiding the Internet lately, you probably know by now that emerald green is the “color of the year” for 2013, according to Pantone, the leading authority on color trends.
What you may not know, though, is exactly how to incorporate bold emerald green into your look when it comes to hair, makeup and accessories.
That’s where I come in.
On Monday morning, my “Better Kansas City” segment with co-host Kelly Jones aired (we actually taped last week, but due to the presidential inauguration, couldn’t share these secrets with you until today).
Kelly and I chatted through everything from nail polish and eye makeup to pashminas, rings and flip flops.
Watch “Better Kansas City” co-host Kelly Jones and I talk emerald on Monday’s show.
Below is a closer look at the products discussed during the show.
Thanks to Beauty Brands and Halls Kansas City for letting me loose in their respective stores so I could choose a few more items to share in addition to my own personal collection of emerald items!
