Famous for its popularity with jewelers, the wonderful green color of the Emerald is unparalleled in the gem world. Emerald is described as the color of growth, renewal and prosperity. Color icon Pantone, Inc., announced Emerald as the 2013 Color of the Year and now this vibrant hue has quickly become the hottest color in the fashion world. “Green is the most abundant hue in nature—the human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. “Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world.”

Though Lindsay Lohan received terrible reviews in the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick, this new comic book is a must-have for LIz fans! Silver screen siren Elizabeth Taylor was larger than life, and her legacy lives on through Tribute: Elizabeth Taylor, written by comedic writer Dina Gachman. Elizabeth is seen as the down-to-earth diva she was, as told from the point of view of her beloved maltese, Daisy. “Elizabeth Taylor was gorgeous, talented, and fabulous, but did you know she was also a bawdy broad who loved a good party and used to say, ‘I, along with the critics, have never taken myself too seriously.’ Liz has the Oscars to prove any critics wrong, and this book is a breezy jaunt through Taylor’s life that’s narrated by someone very near and dear to her heart,” says Gachman. “The Lifetime movie Liz & Dick that just aired depicted her as a crazy drunk for the most part, so this comic can show more sides of Taylor, and introduce her to a generation that might not have seen her films and accomplishments.” ($3.99, Comic Flea Market; $1.99 iTunes digital edition)

Recently opened by Alison and John Hinkaty, this Huntington studio offers a wide variety of classes, instructed by Alison, along with music and good times. “We break it down into really easy-to-follow steps,” says John. “And at the end of two hours people leave with paintings they have done themselves.” The studio even has themed classes like Picasso, Van Gogh, ’80s and kids’ nights. It doesn’t matter how good of an artist you are, Paint the Town is open to painters of all skill levels. (17 Green St., Huntington, PaintTheTownStudio.com)

Second Time Around, a consignment chain established in England in the 1970s, has opened its first store on Long Island. Located in Huntington, they offer a mix of high-end and contemporary designer clothing at a steal. “The merchandise is always rotating, so you never know what you’re going to find,” says Ambria, New York District Manager. “Shoppers are thrilled that they don’t have to go all the way out into the city to pick up a designer handbag. We have the same designer items that you’d find in department stores, only for a fraction of the price.” (267 Main St., Huntington, SecondTimeAround.net)
