Lavender Love Fest

October 14, 2008 By Dusty Rogers 32 Comments

Beautiful purple things–oh how you taunt me. Here are a few luscious lavender items that have recently caught my eye:

Pretty plum wool coats from Nanette Lepore (pic 1), DKNY (pic 2), and Nine West (pic 3).





Gorgeous grape handbags from Dooney & Bourke (pic 1) and Coach (pic 2).


Love these lavender heels–I’ll take one of each please. Pic 1: Boutique 9, Pic 2: Nine West

And a more budget-friendly amethyst indulgence–nail polish. My current favorite is OPI’s Lincoln Park at Midnight. It’s so pretty! (And on my nails in the picture below.)

And of course, my favorite lavender-hued love–wine!

Now spill it! Has the purple bug bitten you, too? Any fabulous finds you’d love to tell me about? Because I’d love to hear them! And if you’ve purchased a purple wool coat recently, please include your address in your reply along with possible times your coat will be left unattended. Thank you very much.

    I love plum! I’m not so into purple in general, but plum has really caught me this year. I’m on the hunt for the perfect plum polish, what is the name of yours? I have a skirt from Boden from last fall that I can’t wear enough, I’m definitely smitten.

    I don’t think I’ve been bitten by this purple people eater that you speak of. But, I am sure smitten over that Nine West coat…. yowza.

    Yeah that Nine West coat — WOW. LOVE. NEED.

    I’m not as sassy as you are but I did add another purple pair of flats to my collection — http://tinyurl.com/4kfcld. It’s possible I bought them in yellow too :blush:

    And I love you and your perfectly manicured nails — have I told you that in the last five minutes? :)

    I haven’t bought any purple recently . . . not even the wine. It’s so sad.

    I love purps! And that is my all time favorite nail polish ever. It’s on my nails 24/7, 365 days a year. Big puffy heart.

    I love purple! I’ve got my eye on a different coach bag, but those two you picked out are fantastic! Probably my favorite purple item is a cashmere sweater from Banana Republic. It’s gorgeous and I’d wear it every day if I could.

    Love the purple items you posted. I have purple as the main color in my accessories in my living room, but haven’t moved on yet to incorporate it into my wardrobe yet.

    Okay I want one of everything you listed. I do love the deep purples but always struggling to pair it with something appropriate. The Coach bag is amazing but the color isn’t as rich in person. I do want that Nine West jacket though. Wonder how much that costs.

    Someone hand me a napkin, ’cause I’m drooling all over that D&B bag.

    I adore purple. When I was little, I had to wear at least 1 purple item everyday. Drove my mom crazy!

    Love the nails, D-tres chic =)

    The coats and shoes are to die for! You even look like the model in the third picture! Lincoln Park at Mignight is also my favoirte right now! I know so many people who are currently wearing it. Who knew one shade of fingernail polish could be such a phenom!?

    Another purple person… I have several accessories, and even a pair of dress pants, that I somehow manage to pull off!

    And I have such a soft spot in my heart for Nanette Lepore, so guess which coat I’m drooling over?

    I just happen to be wearing my purple high heeled Hype Mary Janes today that I got maybe 4 years ago when purple was NOT all the rage. I adore them, and am so glad purple is in the spotlight right now. It’s so pretty and so versatile. Thanks for the post! Cute blog!

    I recently purchased a purple cardigan from old navy. It’s really comfy and cute. I’d link you, but I can’t seem to locate it online right now.

    btw, I have the perfect skin tone and hair color for plums and lavenders so my eye liner is actually a plum color.

    Because of your post I had to go to Aerial and get the nail polish.

    I love it.
