We've already taken a peek at some of the amazing green handbags on the market right now for Spring, but we haven't yet taken a peek at some of the gorgeous green eye and nail products that range from bold to soft and earthy. Click on the colours above for more shopping information on these gorgeous green beauty buys that you can rock this Saturday on St. Patrick's Day, and leave a comment to let me know which items you like best — have fun!
Celebrities like Fearne Cotton, Julianne Moore and Welch actress Alexandra Roach are jumping on the bold coloured bandwagon this season. I love that they are embracing brights and I'm green with envy over their gorgeous handbag choices! Fearne was papped this morning on her way to the BBC Radio 1 Studios, whist Julianne and Alexandra were spotted at their respectable Fashion Weeks in New York and London lugging around this money look. Shop green handbags below and let me know which ones you like best.
I know it's a bit early to think about Spring, but believe it or not, collections are already beginning to launch, despite the fact that Christmas isn't even upon us. However, since I'm such a softie for trends, here's a peek at the hottest new nail lacquer shade for next season.
Here's a hint: It's thirst quenching, popular in Springtime floral patterns and ranges from pastel to fluorescent. Did I getcha? The answer is none other than lime green. Dior is coming out with a Garden Party Collection that consists of two shades: a soft green and a light mauve. The green is called Water Lily and it contains a soft scent of roses that has been formulated to last up to four days — pretty cool! Next up is a lighter lime tone called Navigate Her from Essie, and lastly there's Thanks A Windmillion from OPI's Spring Holland Collection. Out of these three hues, which do you favour?
I first fell in love with this Peridot Le Vernis limited edition peacock-looking nail polish from Chanel back in September, and since then (an effect that Chanel often has on the market), it has created this craze of followers making this swampy greeny-bluish-gold colour quite trendy!
There's Nubar Nail Lacquer in Indigo Illusion (£5.50), RMK Nail Color EX 06 (£14) and Sparkling Green Nail Polish from Love & Beauty Forever 21 (£1.77) on the market now, and for those of you who have a hard time painting your nails yourself, you can get these cool press on Rebel Nails Fabulous Designer Nails in Green Flip Colour Fingers (£9) too. If these colours are just a bit off for you, wait until November and snag this amazing shade from Models Own in Golden Green come November which is part of their Beetlejuice Collection. What do think of this swampy-hued metallic nail style?
Sarah Jessica Parker and the Duchess of Cambridge have one thing in common: their love of bright green dresses. SJP was spotted on the set of her new movie I Don't Know How She Does It yesterday in New York City, looking gorgeous in what looks to be a Michaela Silk Dress by Marc Jacobs. Whilst Kate donned her kelly green DvF dress twice in a month's time. Shop some beautiful crayola-coloured dresses below, and let me know which style has you green with envy.
Blue-green colours like teal and seafoam are beautiful against tanned skin during the Summer months. Perhaps that's why we've been seeing so much of it lately on celebrities like Lady Gaga (despite her milky skin), Heidi Klum, and Ashley Greene. I love a pop of bright colour in my outfit, and these ladies have shown me just how to totally incorporate teal into the mix. Shop some fabulous teal-green clothing and accessories below!
Glamour's Women of the Year Awards sure lived up to its name last night. With a fabulous guest list and ladies walking the red carpet in gorgeous dresses, everyone dressed to the nines to celebrate women! I especially appreciated the pops of colour, such as Fearne Cotton's yellow frock, Alexandra Burke's pink floral number Katherine Jenkins coral cocktail ensemble. Also, check out the splashes of green, which happens to be one of my favourite tones. Kirsty Gallacher wore an all-green gown, Daisy Lowe donned a green clutch, and Louise Redknapp wore green beaded earrings. I love how Summer brings out a little brightness in everyone. Shop green dresses and accessories below!
Earth took center stage last night at the fashion show and auction Bid to Save the Earth, dedicated to raising money for eco-minded organizations. Diane Kruger came arm in arm with designer Jason Wu, Olivia Palermo went for a mix 'n' match outfit that included a Rachel Roy top, and Anna Wintour paired a Balenciaga dress with her trademark Manolos. The runway show included top looks from a number of designers, but the standouts were the eveningwear, including our favorite white dresses from Alexander McQueen. Bonus: the runway looks will be available for sale on Net-a-Porter, and a portion of the profits will support leading environmental organizations.

St. Patrick's Day is nearly here and for those of you who plan to tip a few back at a pub tomorrow, there's nothing more festive than adding a bit of green to your beauty regime! I love this unassuming Wintry sage Nail Colour in Hunting from Topshop (£5). It has an olive tone and is both fast drying and super glossy.
However, if you're looking for something a little brighter, FabSugarUK is currently sporting this fun candy-green shade from Nails Inc. called Seven Dials (which is typically £11, but is on sale now for £9.90).
We've looked at 10 pretty ways to get green for tomorrow's celebrations, but below are some amazing green-coloured products you can use to make it happen — have fun and please act responsibly tomorrow (I'm just saying)!
St. Patrick's Day will be here on Thursday, and soon we'll all be awash in green beer and holographic shamrock glitter. The holiday doesn't necessitate throwing on a leprechaun hat, though. You can get into the St. Pat's Day spirit in lots of ways, many of them quite pretty and even (gasp!) nonalcoholic. So check a few picks for going green the fashionable way, whether you're hitting up a parade or just going for a couple of chartreuse cocktails after work.
