The Color Purple

I've been in love with purple practically since birth. From my lavender banana seat bike when I was 5 to my purple velvet formal dress when I was 14, I'll always think of purple fondly. While my taste has grown and changed over the years, gorgeous purple dresses and accessories (such as these below) still make me swoon. In recent years, I've been more than happy to reintroduce this color into my life as a wardrobe staple.

Purple is probably perfect, perpetually practical, poetically pretty, probably playful and pedictably passionate. I remember your purple polka dotted doo-rag you wore when I fell for you.

It's so funny; I never realized how much I adored purple myself until I started to notice that almost everything I choose at shops as of late has been a varying shade of purple. It's just gorgeous. A true color for royals, if you ask me. And I want that OPI Do You Lilac It polish!! :)

Purple is the perfect color for a handbag. I've been saying that for over 5 years. They used to be very hard to find so I have several in varying shades of Ox Blood, but a deeeeeep royal blue or purple is perfect. Goes with black, brown, blue, everything! Also, psyched to see that my nail polish is on sale for five bucks! Whooo hoo!!!

Love that Alice + Olivia sparkly number! My favorite purples are makeup! Icon Eyes pencil liner by MAC (inky-purple) and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Eggplant Shimmer. Gorgeous for green or hazel eyes!
