It's time to go green with envy, especially if you've spent all your hard earned dosh on Christmas.

If not, you can indulge in a little greenery to keep you bright when the days are gloomy.

Green has never been hotter right now - and no, it's not just for the Irish.

If you've not sorted yourself out with a nice hat this year then why not try this beret from Jeans by Jasper Conran at Debenhams. At £10 it won't break the bank but it will stop those ears from freezing over. The soft wool will give a cute glow around your face - just don't leave it lying on the bus seat, it's too precious to put down.

If you're looking for something a bit more street then try this bow hoodie at £60 from French Connection. It's got an Emo vibe to it yet it's still embracing this season's hottest colour. What is even better is that its not too thick and heavy, it will keep you warm on the milder winter days.

If you fancy a spash of colour in your party outfit then these Shelly Ann court shoes from Shelleys at £55 are perfect. The two tones give an extra twist to an unusual shoe and the satin gives it a luxe feel.

Last but not least go for a hint of lime. This wrap cardigan is perfect for the office. The colour is light and fresh and would look great with a crisp white shirt underneath. At £27 from Wallis this version also comes in other colors if green is not your thing.

But why not embrace it. Wearing a hint of green with black or white or over dark coloured jeans will keep you right on trend.

It might even keep you lucky through to 2008.
