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!!!
I adore purple! I've been trying to wear it as much as possible this season :)
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.
I love purplesss! I have to have that headband! The dark purples are sooo in this fall! Love it!
I love purple.....more so now than ever. These are gorgeous picks hun in great shades.....love.

I'm head over heels for that dress!
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.
another purple lover here! and I'm with Ellen-- it looks fantastic paired with gray! perfect for winter. xx
I love this puple-thing! pretty, pretty, pretty.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!!
love it! it's super easy to wear (it almost acts as a neutral).
