“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” the Irish proverb admonishes, and everyone knows you have a friend in the JFP. So, instead of trying to figure out how you’ll celebrate St. Paddy’s in style, we have a few suggestions for you. It’s all about having fun, so from cute knick-knacks and accessories to floral tops with shades of green (and blue, considering this year’s parade theme, “Hey, Hey the Blues is Alright”), we’ve done the St. Paddy’s style-thinking for you. Avoid the “I forgot to wear green” pinch (unless you’re into that) and don’t forget your “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” button.

For more fun St. Paddy’s paraphernalia, check this month’s Issuu.
