Color File: Shades of Jade

My favorite shade of green is Jade. Had to round up some faves I have spotted lately.....

1. Topshop 2. Smythson via Pinterest 3. Nico Necklaces 4. Old Navy 
5. Hunters (similar) 6. Max and Chloe 7. J. Crew

Inspired by.....

I miss the timeless style and classic beauty that inspired this photo. Women knew how to dress and Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were the style icons you looked up to. I tend to think fashion peaked in their era. It seems a lot LESS fabric is worn now a days if you know what I mean.

I will be donning some 1920's wear this weekend for a murder mystery surprise. Will make sure a share the photo on the fan page ;) Happy Weekend!

    Oh I just bought a black 1920's inspired bathing suit today for a party in early June! I was wondering how I could accesorize it! Thanks for the pic! Beautiful! I completely agree. The cuts for women in clothing were all around flattering and feminine in that time!

    you're so right about that era, those ladies had it all going on and i love your inspired jade selects. i'm partial to greens too, my fave is kelly, especially with dark denim.

    no wonder your profile pic features this color, now i can see the whole story. an "ah-ha" moment of sorts. happy weekend, with loads of family time and fun at this wild sounding party! ♥
