What is purple?

Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create this intriguing color.

Purple is the color of the year!

Pantone has selected the color Blue Iris (PANTONE 18-3943) as the 2008 color of the year telling us: “Combining the stable and calming aspects of blue with the mystical and spiritual qualities of purple, Blue Iris satisfies the need for reassurance in a complex world, while adding a hint of mystery and excitement.”

The Culture of Purple.

The color of mourning for widows in Thailand, purple was the favorite color of Egypt’s Cleopatra. It has been traditionally associated with royalty in many cultures. Purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank. The Purple Heart is a U.S. Military decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle.

Spring is finally here!

You are a bit bored with the items in your closet from last year. Really, what girl does not want to shop at the start of any new season. So many new choices, patterns, styles and colors. So you start picking out a few new things, nice pair of slacks, new shirt, a new jacket and the guilt starts. You have so many clothes.

What is girl to do?

Time to get sensible. Check out your closet, pair up some different items and add a new touch to something from last season! A new blouse, jewelery or shoes!

Look at these peep-toed pumps from N.Y.L.A. - perfect to add a little punch to something from last year.

The white leather upper is made with snake print details trimmed in a spiked black patent trim. Paired with a petite peep toe and bow décor on the vamp this shoe also features a hidden ½ inch platform and patent covered 4 ½ inch heel.

Avenue Pump

Black and White are a classic combination that will always be a wise choice if the goal is to look crisp and fresh. These BCB Girls Iggy Heels would pair well with a black Jackie-O dress or white capris and a black camisole.

The above retro (yet modern) style is the Avenue Pump by NYLA. You would look chic in either choice. Don’t overdo the black and white theme with your outfit, however, when wearing these two tone shoes. Go solid on your outfit and maybe wear a black and white bangle, or contrast your outfit with the opposite color for your jewelry. You could also pair black and white shoes with jeans and a fun T-shirt (not necessarily black or white). Basically two tone black and white shoes are versatile, sometimes more so than a solid pair of black or white shoes. Add these to your wardrobe and you will be most pleased.
