From the bright neons seen on spring summer collections, to the rich jewel tones of fall winter 2011 there’s a color revolution taking place in our wardrobes again this season! Emerald, citrine, cobalt, amethyst, sapphire, ruby… these hues are as sumptuous and irresistible as real-life gems.  Rock this trend by mixing a trio of colors, choosing one perfect tone to create a monochromatic look or simply by color blocking.  If all-over sparkly colors aren’t your thing, you can always pair a neutral ensemble with bold color heels or clutch for an eye-catching look.  One last note: jewel tones pair wonderfully with metallics as evidenced by Olivia Palermo’s perfect citrine + gold combination featured in today’s story, so don’t shy away from these shiny hues, they will act as neutral tones making gracious room for the bright color item to reign center-stage.
