Color Crush: Purple Pretties

Purple may be one of the most neglected colors in the color wheel.  I'm not sure why I generally stear away from it, but today I've decided to celebrate the hue with a few pretty picks I've been saving to share with you.

What do you think about the color purple?  Love it, loath it?... I'm curious to know.  xox Ez

Ohhh.... I LOVE the color purple. It is my ultimate favorite, it was even my wedding color. And there is an entire blog dedicated to products you can buy that are purple!!!

Love purple and loving that Mandizzle headband! :)

I think purple can be just as happy, relaxing and beautiful as pink. Just look over there at the ad for Clementine jewelry at the top right.

I adore purple. From Periwinkle to Lavender to Plum I love it! Its as soothing as pale blues or pinks or warm as deep blues and browns.

Generally not a huge fan of purple, but I love how you have it paired with the gray! That is beautiful!! Thanks for the color inspiration. By the way, your new blog is more beautiful than ever.

Beautiful purple items! Love that dress! Purple is very versatile if paired with the right shade.

Purple is my favorite color of all time! Before, it was so hard to find all things purple but now, it seems to be everywhere!

Another purple lover coming out of the woodwork! My family always teases me, because in my old apartment I had a lilac bathroom, and now my dining room is lilac. I like to point them to a NYT article I read a few years ago proclaiming lilac is THE modern neutral.

I'm not a huge fan of purple, but after seeing so much of the huelately I'm really starting for fall hard for lilac.

November 5, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterErin

purple is actually my favorite color of all time! i love it. i wish i owned more of it to wear. the walls of my room are actually purple.

November 5, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMallory

I definitely love it. In my room I have a rich purple tapestry and have filled the rest of my room with pale tropical greens and blues. It looks really nice together.

beautiful ez! i love this...espcially the bunting and the headband and well, i guess everything :)!

I think this might one of my favorite collections that you have put together ever. The color palette is simple, yet perfect. It feels so comfortable yet chic at the same time. The dress and bracelet are especially beautiful. Off to check out the lovely shops you chose from.

I absolutely LOVE purple! It is my wedding color along with green (my other favorite)! Getting married 4.17.2010!!

November 5, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmelia

Purple is always beatiful. I have been pairing it with grey for fall to great results.

I too had purple as my wedding color. We did a lilac and black theme.

November 5, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEmily

Yaay! Thanks for featuring our dress! Love the redesigned blog BTW.

Purple is a tricky one to pull off, especially in decor- why is it that it can come across as so "teen of the 90's?" I think it's all about finding the right shade. Either a very deep and saturated plum or eggplant, or a neutral lavender. I love both... and apply them liberally to both home and closet!

November 6, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterShocktheBourgeois

I have never really liked purple. I can't explain it, but I'm loving what you have found, so maybe I could give purple a chance... :)

That dress is gorgeous!!

November 6, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterbeth h

love it! it's super easy to wear (it almost acts as a neutral).

I don't like purple - but my observation is that men are really into purple! Everywhere I look there are men in purple jumpers.

November 6, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLynne

Thank you so much for including me! I'm so honored! :)

i go through moods of intense love, and times where i just feel "eh." about it. when i was a teenager i wanted purple eyes and wore contacts that were supposed to make them that shade; it kind of made them darker blue instead though. but i'm feeling more love during the winter months, there's something so plummy and mythical about it during those times.

November 6, 2009 | Unregistered Commenteranastasia

Ooh lovely. Not a huge purple fan, but funny that I had a very similar inspiration this morning for my blog...Mauve flowers in the garden as it is springtime here.

November 10, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGeorgina
