color pops {rich plum}

There is something about the color purple that is lately drawing me in. It just such a regal and rich color that I definitely would like more of in my life. It is also a color that is supposed to boost imagination and creativity--which is never a bad thing! And as with most bold colors, a little goes a long way...

I've been loving purple since 2007. I'm ready to like another color now and starting to lean towards blue. I can't give up my purple blouses just yet though!
I adore purple. Not tired of it yet. These images are so inspiring, Blair! Thanks, darling!

12 years ago my grandma bought me a couch, 2 wingbacks, a plush arm chair, and an occasional chair for $100 at an estate sale. I had the two wingbacks recovered in purple and tufted. The other one I did in lavender velvet. I was so proud of myself. Then I got sick of them. now that I am married they are relegated to my porch where I have a very retro vibe going with my orange couch. It is all faded now and my favorite room once again.

Completely unfair: the girl in the photo looks utterly stunning in that purple dress paired with matching tights. If I wore the same outfit I'd look like a very plump grape...

Purple tulips are divine. Especially when paired with yellow. It screams SPRING IS HERE and I can't get enough of that combination.

{The second photo is so beautiful}

Oh the purple flowers - jacarandas I believe, we had them where I grew up and it was one of my favourite times of year. Driving through avenues covered with purple blossoms overhead - pure magic.
Gorgeous purple! I'm in love with that fashion photo.. and her purple leggings.
