Purple Haze

Now, I don’t believe we should all be dictated by trends when it comes to fashion. I’ve never been keen on following the norm just for the sake of it, and style is such a personal thing, you need to always remain true to yourself. HOWEVER – trends are great because they bring our attention to particular looks/colours/fabrics/styles and in that way it’s great to keep an eye on them and adapt them for your own wardrobe. One trend I’m loving this season is the colour purple. I don’t have nearly enough purple items in my collection, and yet I really love the colour and seeing it splashed everywhere this season has reminded me why. So here’s a collection of my top purple picks for this season I created in collaboration with Avenue 32 …

1. Roksanda Ilincic Dalila Bikini /2. Bex Rox Eivissa Cuff / 3. Mother Denim Maroon Jeans / 4. Paula Cademartori Fortaleza Tatiana Bag / 5. Calla Magenta Jersey / 6. Ahilya Ladders Scarf / 

Even though winter’s just started, I’m already dreaming about summer next year, or perhaps a holiday sometime sooner (please a holiday, I really really need one!), so I had to include a bikini in this set. Roksanda Ilincic at Avenue 32 is a new designer for me, but I’m already obsessed – how cool is the orange and purple contrast, and the strappy sides of the bikini bottoms? Loving the rest of these items too. What’s great about purple is that it doesn’t need to be super bright, and I love the softer shades too, like the almost pink of the lace of the Ahilya scarf, or the darker, deeper plum shades that verge on the edge of oxblood. My favourite item from the ones above is probably the Mother Denim maroon jeans. Perfect colour for everyday AW outfits.
