Purple for fall 2012

Bergdorf Goodman recently declared on their blog that rich jewel tones are al the rage for fall 2012. While Pantone released their predictions for fall 2012 earlier this year, the fall color palette has evolved, and rich jewel tones have joined the color party for the fall 2012 season with rich, purple as one of the most important colors of the season.

Purple for the fall 2012 season is being shown in many hues. While Amethyst is one of the more popular shades of purple this fall season, every shade of purple imaginable has been spotted on stores shelves.
Designers have opted for light through dark hues, blue toned purple and reddish purple. Every shade of purple is hot for fall; so if you are shopping your closet for the fall season, you can’t go wrong with a purple garment or accessory from a past season.
Purple is a versatile hue this fall 2012 season. This brilliant and quite royal hue is being shown in every variety of ensemble from casual dress through to gala attire. Purple is being shown on every accessory and garment imaginable as well as every fall fabrication from leather to glitter pumps to handwoven sweaters.
For fall 2012, the tonal look is not in the forefront of fashion, so mixing purple with other colors such as rich, jade green, shades of medium and dark blue as well as light neutrals and black is the perfect way to rock the purple trend this season. Look for purple accents to brighten up your wardrobe or dazzle with a jewel-tone purple dress. Either way, you will look amazing  Happy shopping and stay fabulous

Laura Mercier Lavender Cloud nail polish review

Laura Mercier’s hot new nail polish, Lavender Cloud, will arrive on store shelves on May 1, 2012 and the hot hue is sure to have nail polish enthusiasts running for the Laura Mercier beauty counter! Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a limited edition nail polish color which is part of the new, limited edition summer collection, “Belle Nouveau Collection.”

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier is a vibrant shade of lavender which offers opaque nail coverage without streaking. The overall finish offers beautiful color saturation, and without a top coat, leaves a shiny, luxurious look on nails.

Laura Mercier’s Lavender Cloud is the perfect shade of lavender. The color saturation and vibrancy of the hue allows the nail polish to blend well with both bright colors and pastels; which is important for nail polish! This allows a Fashionista to wear her favorite Paris pastels one day, and then wear bright, New York runway hues the next without having to worry about her nail polish clashing with her ensemble. Love that!

Lavender Cloud by Laura Mercier will be available starting on May 1, 2012 and will remain on store shelves until June 30, 2012 or until supplies last. Lavender Cloud is priced at $18 and can be found at Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and select Belk, Blue Mercury, Lord & Taylor and Macy’s stores. Of course, Lavender Cloud will also be available online at Laura Mercier’s website lauramercier.com
