Bellissimo and Bella: Going Green - the color of the year

I love Spring.

Everything is budding shades of green while ushering out those winter months that would never seem to end!

I have gone a little ga-ga with plants around the house lately - its my attempt to welcome Spring inside even if it doesn't feel so Spring-y outside. I think I've had this hue on my mind since Pantone's announcement back in December. Shades of emerald and jade are some of my favorites for my wardrobe, and I do love green stones in gold jewelry. I haven't gotten the nerve to paint any walls green around here, but my little sis' room at my parent's house is painted kelly green and I love it. It's so invigorating and looks just like her.
