After my colour revelation (someone commented on how pure white made me look sick) in my late teens, I ventured into the world of colour analysis and discovered 'Colour Me Beautiful'. Since then I've been obsessed about selecting the right colours for my colouring. And if I could get a pound for every person who has said: 'Well, white is white. Who cares', then I would be a millionaire by now ;)
Wedding inspirations in purple
I just realised that purple is a popular colour for weddings, engagements, parties, etc! There are so many creative ways to incorporate purple into your life. Now, how to wear purple? Dresses, particularly for the evening, look fantastic in all shades of lilac, plum, magenta, mauve and deep purple - there is something very mysterious about darker shades of purple.

Celebrities in purple!
Too much purple in an outfit can mean trouble, however you can use purple very subtly by wearing purple accessories. Carry a purple handbag or a purple pair of shoes with a monochromatic, neutral outfit. This can be black, grey, white or tans. Embellish an outfit with purple jewellery or a scarf.
Remember ladies, keep accessories subtle when dressing in a purple outfit. If wearing a purple dress, wear it with black jewellery and shoes, or something as bold as the purple like leopard print pumps. Do not go head-to-toe purple. Enjoy our July evening wear collection.
