Purple Haze!

With the forthcoming AW10 collection arriving in the stores any time now, we can look forward to a colourful season of sumptuous velvet and lace, beautiful purples and reds – all ready in time for the party season!

So, prepared as ever (I was in the brownies once but was thrown out after 2 weeks – long story), today I’m bringing you some gorgeous purple accessories in readiness for the fabulous outfits you’re going to be blowing your rent on between now and Christmas. Look forward to a “seeing red” blog in the not too distant future.

First up is this chunky purple bracelet, with purple circle stone link motifs and a T-bar fastening. Bold and modern, this would suit a more futuristic outfit. £3.99 from Seasonsonline.co.uk.

I literally did a double-take when I saw this ring, which resembles a (vampire) cat’s eye.

This purple eye silver plate glitter and diamante ring has a unique eye shaped design, with diamante crystals sprinkled around the outside. I love this – more so because it’sonly £4.99!

For something a little more delicate and understated, just like me (What? Lucy has just spluttered into her coffee), these silver and purple crystal mini drop earrings will look beautiful, particularly if you have an updo and an elegant evening dress. Their light purple and clear crystals form flower motifs which will give your whole outfit an air of sophistication – for only £5.99.

And finally – hair fascinators have been big news all season and their popularity shows no sign of abating in the colder months, so I thought I’d feature one here, which would look great if you’re wearing a chignon or, THE AW10 hot style – the braid.

This purple fascinator is designed in a burlesque style of a fabric layered flower, woven ribbon detail and ostrich flowers. It has both a crocodile clip and brooch pin fastening, so you can either wear it in your hair or as an accessory, pinned to your outfit or to your clutch. This gorgeous piece is priced at only £5.99.

So girls, top up your jewellery boxes now in time for the winter months, with some accessories in this beautiful bright and warming colour. They’ll certainly stand out at any party – even with no Prince in sight! (What do you mean, who’s Prince?)
