An emerald green 2013

Color of 2013

Happy new year, lovelies! Let’s talk about color.

After 2012′s tangerine dream, Pantone has decided that the color of 2013 is emerald green. I think it’s a lovely choice. Tangerine is bright and poppy but too much is overwhelming; whereas emerald is lush and soothing and infinitely layer-able — or works just as well as a little highlight or accent.

Green - Color of 2013

You can easily incorporate emerald into your wardrobe by the use of attention-grabbing prints or breaking it up into solid pieces paired with neutrals. (Check out Zalora for some great finds). You could also carry a statement clutch or even a notebook in the color of the year.

A Beautiful Affair - La Promesse - Karat World

As Leon and Genevieve of ABS-CBN’s “A Beautiful Affiair” fulfill their romantic destinies, fans of the show can also pursue their own vows of commitment with the La Promesse lock-heart bracelet which will be offered at all Karat World outlets.

A Beautiful Affair - La Promesse

Karat World celebrates the romance between on-screen couple John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo with “La Promesse”, a new bracelet designed for the primetime hit “A Beautiful Affair”. The elegant piece of jewelry plays an integral role in the new drama, both as a part of the plot and as a symbol of true love.

In “A Beautiful Affair”, Cruz and Alonzo are reunited as Leon and Genevieve, two lovers torn apart by circumstance and tradition. A year after their separation, Leon tries to reignite their romance by traveling from Europe to the Philippines in search of his lost love. Before departing, he purchases La Promesse as part of his vow to win Genevieve’s heart anew.

2012 is winding down — finally! — so I thought it’d be fun to look around and check out the styles and trends that are going to be big in 2013. These are already making the waves abroad, so I’m sure we’ll start seeing these trickling down to a bazaar near you when the holiday shopping season starts. Keep your eyes peeled for:

Kindergarten prints

Kindergarten Prints
If 2011 was the year of the floral and ikat/tribal was all the rage for 2012, dainty childlike prints are going to rule in 2013. Cute, uniformly sized and deployed in neat rows, look for animal silhouettes (like this Shopbop “Hare” cardigan) or retro patterns, as Lena Dunham demonstrates in the cover of i-D magazine.

The subtle art of kiddie party dressing (Momstyle)

Tunic and slim pants from Zalora.com.ph

Come on moms. Come clean: dressing for kiddie parties stresses you out. More so when it’s your kid sitting behind the cartoon-themed birthday cake.

Whether we admit it or not, kiddie parties tend to become unconscious evaluations of mommy style. No one wants to be that woman who lost it all once she gestated; but no one wants to be the overdressed, made-up dragon lady who doesn’t look like she’s ever changed a diaper in her life either.

The key is balance: you want to be stylish but also comfortable — you’ll be chasing after kids, greeting guests, herding parlor games contestants and bugging the caterers after all. Ventilation at kiddie parties is not always optimal, so you’ll want something presko, cool and easy to move in too. I’ve got a couple of simple equations for you:
