Purple Passion

2008-10-09T06:19:00.001-07:00

The must have color for fall is purple, according to fashion magazines from Elle to In Style.

The fashionistas on NBC's popular hit Lipstick Jungle have already been spotted with purple accessories from understated purple jewelry to bold aubergine handbags.

It needn't be worn head to toe to be in style. A punch of color from some great accessories will update any outfit.

Here are some favorites for fall, all spotted on Etsy. All would make great gifts!

Purple Twiggy Bracelet

This lovely bracelet features amethyst, glass and Swarovski crystal beads, as well as sterling silver charms. It is lovely and sells for $30 at Indigo Rocks.

Ballroom Bag

For holiday parties and New Year's Eve (or to dress up some dark jeans), this silky bag reflects olf Hollywood glamour. It is lined with pure silk and is exquisite! Find this at Stitchy Woo Woo for $60.

Purple Igloo Ring

This silver ring featuring an oval amethyst atop a bezel setting brings in the season's hottest color with a touch of modern elegance. Perfect for everyday wear! $28 at Kateydesigns.

A wonderful stocking stuffer

How wonderful would this glass purple tile pendant be for someone who likes a little color in her life? Find this at the appropriately named Purple Pear for $14.

Not into purple? Try some lavender...

...Soap, that is! As a former soaper, I can tell you with 100% certainty, that Aunt Nancy's Handmade Soaps are the best soaps offered anywhere. Her lavender bar sells for only $5.50, lasts forever, and will calm and soothe the senses.

Toebiter tabi slippers and socks

by:Zerkahloostrah

Toebiter tabi slippers and socks are made from used wool sweaters.

This pair fits a men's shoe size 11-12, and is made from a dark olive heathered wool sweater. The slippers sport a royal/cobalt blue sole stripe!

All seams are stitched twice for durability; slippers have somewhat traditional Japanese tabi-styling (split toe, quilted side panels and heel cup). Wool has been washed in hot water and dried using the energy-suck known as an electric clothes dryer.

"Zerkahloostrah"

I ran across these Japanese style socks/slippers today when i refreshed the Etsy front page. The gray wool with the blue stitching really caught my eye. Made from recycled wool sweaters, they are a steal for $35.

How could I possibly do a scarf article with out including one of my own. The blues and greens in this scarf are vibrant, warm and add that pop your lady is looking for. Perhaps my favorite scarf, I'm positive it could be her favorite too. Visit my shop on Etsy to see what other gifts you can score!

Bright Yellow Single Blooms

by: artdi

One single bloom in sunny yellow. Simple and lovely. Perfect for every day. Each tiny component was made by hand; every petal and ear wire. All made from sterling silver with vintage pressed glass flower-shaped beads nestled inside. Each blossom is approximately 1/2 inch in diameter.

Pastel Bouquet

by: artdi

Pastel bouquet of lovely sterling silver blooms that hang from a 18 inch sterling chain. Inside the flowers rest a faceted Peruvian Opal bead, a smooth dyed turquoise bead and a faceted purple quartz bead. Every part of this (with the exception of the chain) was hand fabricated by myself including the tiny flowers and the clasp.

Description: This is an original photograph taken on my last trip to Santa Monica, California. I love seeing brightly colored scooters zooming around, and often take photos of them.

the coolest thing for your toliet......

10 speed - vinyl toilet graphic
by vital

Trick out your toilet with our totally rad 10 speed vinyl decal.Approx 13" x 8.5".

Vinyl: High performance metallic gray vinyl - super easy to apply and will last for years. Includes: toilet bike decal

Will this sticker ever come off my toilet?

Absolutely! We just use a razor blade to scrape it off and some Goo-Gone (or some other adhesive remover) to get the porcelain totally clean. We've been scraping and reapplying the new designs on the same toilet, with no problems whatsoever. (if you’re applying them to painted walls, we’re not guaranteeing anything)How do I apply the stickers?Just peel off the backing paper, carefully position the sticker on your (clean) toilet, and use your library card (or a credit card or something) to press the sticker firmly down. Then peel off the adhesive paper on the front and marvel at how much better your toilet looks!

Can I put this sticker on something else?

Heck yeah! Your refrigerator, the back window of your car, the front of your washer and dryer, your bedroom wall - they're all a go. The stickers will stick to pretty much any smooth clean surface. The only caveat: If (when) you want to take it off of a painted surface, we recommend heating it with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, and then scraping it off. It will minimize scratching. Follow that with a little adhesive remover, and you're good to go.
