Chic St. Patrick’s Day Ideas

No longer is St. Patrick’s Day a celebration limited to those of Irish descent. This ‘green’ holiday has become a widespread day of merriment filled with memorable pub experiences with friends, an excuse to wear a medley of horrid green clothes and get away with it, and a day of good fortune for all. Here are some chic items to help go along with this festive day on March 17th.

Send some cheer and a sincere handwritten note wishing good luck to someone special with the Clovers Greeting Cards ($6). They come in a set of three with coordinating envelopes and feature a print of varying hues of green and blue clover leaves. A sparkling aqua crystal is secured as a focal point in the high quality linen stock cards. [buy it]

To add a little bit of natural green to your immediate area grab a Good Luck Garden in a Bag ($9). All the necessary components are included – just mix the seed packets into the leak proof bag and add water. In no time, sitting under a desk lamp or a windowsill, a garden full of good luck clovers will sprout! Give as friendly gift or bring cheer to your own cubicle. [buy it]

The Corso Como Olive Floral Flat ($100) is described as having a very ‘earthy feel,’ which means that you won’t even be able to tell you’re wearing such comfortable shoes. These flats have a cut out floral design in a beautifully rich and deep olive color. Keep these around long after March because they are foot candy when it comes to fashion. [buy it]

Dangling from a delicate sterling silver chain are a matching horseshoe pendant and green Swarovski crystal heart. This Lucky Charms Necklace ($29) provides no warranty for luck, just a guaranteed style sensation when it comes to jewelry. Handcrafted by designer luxedeluxe, it’s no wonder this is one of the chicest necklaces around. [buy it]

As a child I went searching through the clover patches in my backyard for four leaf clovers finding none to my disappointment. The Framed Four Leaf Clover ($38) raises my spirits since this symbol of blessing can be put on display for many years to come. The natural clover is encased in resin which is in turn framed by brushed and polished nickel. [buy it]

The trio of clovers in the Copper Shamrocks Garden Stake ($50) is handcrafted out of copper, an ideal metal for this job since it has natural undertones of green The coating on this glossy decoration provides a barrier against UV rays and protects the metal itself. Dig this into the ground or a potted plant for year round festivities. [buy it]

Add a bit o’ green to your home furnishings with the Julia Rothman Trees Pillow ($10). The removable linen cover makes for easy cleaning and the square pillow itself is extra soft since it’s filled with downy feathers. My favorite part – how some trees look like kiwi and broccoli. Too cool! [buy it]

This sophisticated Walter Sateen Dress in Emerald ($298) is a chic dress great to wear to work and then to the pub right after. The vivid green color is so unique and beautiful while the cut and style is sophisticated and modern. Capped sleeves and a button accent collar are polished off with tailored touches like vertical pleating and a built in waistline. [buy it]

Keep some luck affixed to you at all times when you wear the Solid 14K Gold Shamrock Earrings ($24). These petite earrings have chiseled accents on the clover leaves that play with light and add sparkle to the golden hue. They are demure but fun, and add a charming side to whoever wears these playful earrings. [buy it]

Karma Komba Solid Shampoo ($10) is a unique beauty product that deep cleans hair, providing a wonderfully refreshing experience. The natural essential oils in this bar, such as lemongrass, gardenia and orange, help to detangle hair and tone the scalp. The smell is divine, and no, this won’t turn your hair green! [buy it]
