Purple Haze








The colour Purple. It's all things. It's groovy, it's psychedelic, it's a great book, it can be magical and mysterious,  and it can suit you if you're blonde, red or brunette.  As colours go it covers most bases.







This purple cape/coat/thingymebob came out of our winter stockpile and I just cannot believe that Beatnik could not sell it last year. It is sooo flattering.  This photo does not do it justice, but I must admit that Penelope, the model, wasn't really feeling it. She got a bit sulky and I couldn't get her to strike any different poses to show the coat off to it's full stylish potential. 




A purple wool shawl cape throw around thing (not the technical term)








Slinky sexy eighties dress





Full length seventies fitted tweed coat





Bowie peeking out of a tracky top






Oh my deer that t shirt looks divine









I love this purple jumper, and I love the man's purple turban who just happened to be walking by





A bit of sixties jewellery








Lovely woolen sixties dress





Oh and here's some nature stuff, in purple obviously



















If that's got you in a purple kind of mood then sit back for a few minutes and listen to the purple man himself. Enjoy!

  1. What a fun purple party! If only I were in the neighborhood and could drop by for a little shopping :)

    Weird coincidence: I am wearing a new purple shirt today, and earlier I was thinking about the last time that I wore purple and I believe it's been about 5 years. So thanks for all the purple. I feel I'm in good company.

  3. Well being the queen of purple, you are actually preaching to the converted! There is one thing you are missing and thats a picture of my purple front door...! Also the purple 70's coat is actually mine. I will be along to the shop to pick it up next week. Thanks for looking after it for me!

  4. Hi Purple Queen Harry, How I wish I'd taken a photo of your pretty purple door......
    When you say 'actually mine' do you mean that in a joking way or is one of those beautiful coats 'actually yours' ...... I'm txting you now!
    Thanks for ahem, looking in (she said in a slightly awkward way)

  5. Well....perhaps I meant... 'that purple 70's coat has my name on it' in a kind of longing way. Or...that 'it should be mine if the world were a fairer place!'. Or...'I WANT IT!!' Take your pick!

  6. You're right, it should be yours, for you are the Queen of purple after all.
    In fact I can't imagine it on anybody else ..... : )

  7. Hello again in the purple department. I was shopping yesterday on the lookout for a purple shawl/pashmina for an up and coming wedding to go with a dress (purple..of course) that needs a warm accompanyment. I suddenly remembered the purple shawl type thing featured in your purple feature....! I am now of course desperate to have it to try out with said dress and wondered if had sold yet...? If not...save it for me pleeeease.
