Purple Haze






PURPLE HAZE







How about a shot of PURPLE to brighten up a grey winter day... (btw...grey and purple go together very well...) 


There are many ways to put a little purple power into your life...


In Fashion...


Purple is still very much a strong color trend in the 2015 Spring and Summer Collections. 


The touch of a purple cropped jacket over a nude tulle dress -  Burberry Prorsum

 Totally 'color blocking' it...



Polo Ralph Lauren

Pale lavender...



Sheer and Breezy at Alberta Ferretti



Sheer and Patterned at Missoni



 Sequined and Luxurious at Dries Van Noten

If entirely cladding yourself in purple is not your thing; dazzle them with a pop of the hue and go for great...


Accessories...


Accessorizing is easy and can bring instant impact to an otherwise 'simpler' outfit...


A great shoe for example;  the sophisticate pump... 


Jimmy Choo...woo woo...


or the 'just chillin' sneaker...


Keds looking good in Aubergine


Bags...


Michael Kors Plum Leather Satchel




Gucci - Suede and Purple. Perfect !


and for a little whimsical glamour...



Loooove Olympia le Tan


A fabulous scarf...



Faliero Sarti - amongst my favourites...soft, light as air and great colors too


And if you're a jewelry kinda gal...(and who isn't right?)...


Be 'dramatic' with a piece by Monies; like this Amethyst, Mountain Crystal, Ebony and Leather showstopper



Hermès absolutely always has it right



and a lovely ring may be all you need...

by Marie-Hélène de Taillac, bien sûr


or perhaps a peep of purple for your ears...


Tiffany Amethyst Sparkles



And when you return Home, your shopping bags filled with purple goodies, you may want to relax on your purple couch...

light up a wonderful scented candle...(or 2 or 3...)



Mizensir makes divine candles



Ladurée...not just macaroons...



And, just in time for Spring,  look how to recycle your lovely Dyptique candles...





Adorable n'est-ce pas...via lespetitesnanas.com


You may even be inspired to dress up your walls, by adding some purple Art...





or add a subtle touch of purple luxury to your coffee table...

Ok, on a more serious note now. Because it's always 5pm somewhere...(!)... time to crack open some champagne...







And just because you've been a very good girl...



I know I know...but life is short...so who cares... and yes, I'll take the nail polish too ! via caracterielles.com


But if you prefer a home made drink...here's a special purple brew just for you...
