Ode to Purple

I love purple. And I don't mean kind of love/like purple. I mean, LOVE it. It all started at Neiman Marcus around 1986. I was four and apparently threw the world's biggest fit over a pair of purple Baby Bots with rhinestones. I mean seriously, who would not want purple shoes with rhinestones?
Now, 26 years later my love for the color has never changed. And I can actually say the word with out it coming out sounding like pulpul. Yay, for speech therapy! Anyway, here are some lovely pulpul rooms that I hope will give you the same feeling about this color that I carry with me always. Enjoy!

Love this room's modern but warm feel. Looks like something
Nate Berkus would have done

You don't see purple kitchen cabinets often. I like it!

I can't put my finger on why I like this room. Anybody?

Not a fan of the entire room, but appreciate the use of color.

Awesome room for a girl or a guest room at a beach cottage.

A Steven Gambrel design. Purple leather chair, yes please.

Can't get much cooler than purple ghost chairs.

A very chic take on purple.

Love the pop of the purple ceiling.

A modern claw foot tub in purple! Hello!
A John Saladino design

Geometric purple

Hate the tiger stripe pillows. Love the touch of red.

Elegantly purple. Like the pop of yellow.

A retro take on purple.

I am sorry, I just had to. Words really can not describe how I feel about this.

Coming Out of The Closet

I am a gypsy. I have been for a few years. Washington, Miami, Africa, Cayman Islands, and now Charleston. What a whirlwind! Now I am not complaining, at all. I have had some incredible adventures that I would not trade for anything. But I have to say, living out of a suitcase has started to wear thin on me. Then last week my mom suggested I put a shoe rack in my car. And I actually I thought to myself, that is not a bad idea. Seriously?!

What I would love most, is to just have all my stuff in one place and to have one giant closet to put it all in. I don't need a huge house or even a great big bathroom bathroom. All I want is just one massive, perfectly organized closet. So it made me think, if I were to pick my perfect closet, what would it look like? So here are a few celebrity closets that would certainly fit the bill for me and I think just about every girl I know. But I guess for now I am going to be looking into clothing bars and shoe racks that could fit in my Mini Cooper.


Aerin Lauder. Digging the desk.

I don't know a man who wouldn't love Ralph's closet.

Tamara Mellon ( aka Jimmy Choo) with her
unbelievable shoe collection.

The pop of orange looks fab in Tory Burch's killer wardrobe.

Loving the simplicity of Nate Berkus' NYC closet.

Pleasantly surprised that Rachel Zoe has a totally disheveled closet.

Would you be surprised if I told you this closet belonged to Paris Hilton?
Probably not.

Mariah Carey's closet does not totally do it for me.
But beggars can't be choosers.

Kelly Wearstler always does it right.

I like how Eva Longoria's closet has a slight masculine look to it.

Nikki Hilton looking very chic with her simplistic style.


Okay this one below may not be the biggest but it certainly is the best. And if you don't know who it belongs to then you have rocks in your head and we are no longer friends ;)
