As we bid a fond goodbye to the Summer of 2015, I’m still trying to hang on to my tanned skin, a first for me in years. Yes, this was my first summer since I was 15 years old that I didn’t have to “go to work,” so a random 11am tanning session by the pool became a regular thing. The vitamin D was good for my soul and for the first time in my life I saw a direct link to the quote, “work hard, play hard.” I’m not sure if working for 5 years straight in an office without windows, along with a demeaning bully of a co-worker has caused this, but this newfound freedom of a summer was that much more savouring and special for me!
So, Dear Summer:
I know you gon’ miss me…but
an icy cool color is in for WINTER 2015–
the truly glowing green color of emeralds and chalcedony (natural not dyed chalcedony)
I like pairing this color with a POP of red lipstick and minimal makeup
I also like pairing this color with black and similar-colored faux furs for winter and black ankle-booties
Although summer has come to an end, this color and the winter fashions are making me excited for a new season.

HOW TO PULL THIS LOOK OFF:
Lots of green gemstone rings–
The basis of my stack started with the Emerald Split Band ring by Rosedale Fine Jewelry
Then I layered an antique BIG/BOLD emerald ring and a square chalcedony ring, which added another dimension of green.
So, start with a staple emerald ring like I did and build from there. Add green-hued earrings and you’re good to go!
