This season's hottest color

...I'm sure you have noticed, is aubergine.
There are plenty of ways you can incorporate this deep and delightful shade of purple in your wardrobe--I've seen tshirts, tanks, pants, tops, headbands, jewelry, etc...
When choosing a shade of amethyst, remember that the best colors are always the most saturated. Keep in mind what colors normally are most complimentary for your skin (blues, reds, yellows) because you can always find a tonal version of purple that is based on the best hue for you.
If you need an example on how to do plum the right way, take note from Carolina Herrera.

Carolina Herrera, Fall 2008
(This is a silk dress with a built-in bodice, with pockets. I love a pocket on a dress!)
CH has a beautiful boutique located in Highland Park Village (girls take note: they have a full couture bridal salon in the store). Having spent several hours there, I can personally attest that the staff is knowledgeable, not pushy, and very complementary to their environment. They know everything that is important to know when working in womens fashion, including how we need Manolo Blahniks to most accurately get a picture of what we will look like while wearing the beautiful CH cocktail dress,

and that we need time to think about such a large purchase ($2990 to be exact).

Thanks to the Michael and Javier at Carolina Herrera!
