So, what say you? Is purple not the best thing ever?!?! Its many shades can be used in so many ways. Looking forward to more purpley goodness in 2012!

Year in Review: Purple Reign

Purple has been on my mind lately. And, after a quick review of the past year's posts, I realize my fondness is indisputable. Suitable for both genders, purple's many shades make it extremely popular - perhaps, trumping Honeysuckle as color of the year. To prove it, I've rounded up images from THOS showcasing the color's versatility. Click through to the original posts.

1) Purple upholstery in Marcelo Lucini’s Buenos Aires apartment.

2) Varying shades in this bedroom by Steven Volpe

3) All out lavender in Jessica Stam's former living room

Friday Fashion: From Paris to Bombay

Whether or not you like the fashion, Chanel definitely knows how to throw a party! The fashion house's runway shows seem to get bigger and better with every season. This week's Métiers d’Art channeled the glamour of India, transporting guests from Paris to Bombay (or shall I say Mumbai).

 

"We’ve had Paris-London, we’ve had Paris-Shanghai, so it felt like time to go off the circuit, to somewhere less expected"
- Karl Lagerfeld

 

A closer look at the sparklies used to adorn Karl's creations. How pretty!

Modern Beachy Glam...

That's what I'm calling it, anyway. While perusing Desire to Inspire, I found a great post featuring the work of photographer Jack Thompson. I was particularly drawn to the below, a seemingly beach-inspired, bungalow-like living space. I love the mix of materials (i.e., hot pink, shine, leopard, leather, etc.) against a woody backdrop.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find info to verify my theory, but this just screams "California Coast." No?

Fur Real...

Ryan Korban

He simply can't help himself. Ryan Korban seems to use fur absolutely everywhere and to the objection of many. Personally, I own vintage fur and find it to be wonderfully luxurious and, best of all, WARM. But as an animal lover, I do understand the dilemma. Here's Ryan's thoughts on the matter as quoted by W Magazine:

I know a lot of people don't like fur, but if you take away the fur, you take away a huge element of what I do. I don't ever really use prints, so to me the print comes from ostrich and zebra, and the texture comes from coyote and mink.

Fortunately, the dilemma is solved for many since most simply can't afford a penchant for mink.

All hail the faux!

Stately Glamour...

Oh how I do love the French flair of designer Jean-Louis Deniot. This look may be a bit stodgy for some, but I definitely appreciate its stately beauty, ornate millwork, and sophisticated sheen.

Working with Flair...

Why slave the day away in a stuffy cubicle when you can work like this???

Shop Talk Flair 1st Dibs

Behold George and Jon feigning productivity for a photo shoot at their shop, Flair (below). It's the place I'd frequent weekly if geography weren't such a problem.

Friday Fashion: A New York Minute

While I do love the juxtaposition of this delicate, Elie Saab couture gown against an urban landscape, I’m simply baffled by that clutch. Still, it makes a pretty picture.

Black to Bright...

Celerie Kemble Lonny Magazine

Have you seen the latest issue of Lonny Magazine? It includes this fabulous design by Celerie Kemble, a redo of a model apartment that I featured a few months ago. The new look is a lot brighter (and tamer) than the original design, which included black walls and bold patterns. Do you have a preference? Both are pretty, but I do have a favorite!
