Purple & Ombre - Two trends that go well together

If you flip though any fashion magazine these days they will tell you Purple is the IT color for Fall 08. I'm on board with that. I love a deep jewel tone to balance out the sometimes dreary weather and just as dreary colored clothes that appear in Fall.

Imagine my surprise as I was surfing Targaayy (Target for you regualr folks...LOL) when I came upon some cool (and cheap) Purple items. Many of them included two other trends you know I love patent and Ombre. So I figured I would share them with you because I love to help people look stylish and if it can be done cheaply all the better ;).



Purple & Ombre




Xhilaration® Ombre Satchel - Purple (Small $16.99




Xhilaration® Ombre Tote Bag - Purple $19.99





Women's Mossimo® Deann Ombre Patent Flats - Purple $13.99



Purple lovers only





Jasmine Small Bag - Deep Purple $16.99




Richard Chai for Target® Colorblock Tie Dress - Passion Purple $44.99




Richard Chai For Target® Printed Broken-Stripe Trench Coat - Purple/ Ebony $44.99

Loving a bargain myself I ordered the Ombre Satchel and the Jasmine Small Bag.

Ombre Pumps for sale

I was browsing as I do EVERYDAY...LOL...NET-A-PORTER.COM and saw these light green Ombre Patent Leather Pumps by Rubert Sanderson on sale for $357 (down from $595). I really can't wear heels any longer but for one of you who can I think they could be a nice addition to your Fall '08 wardrobe. Any takers?

Ombre & Patent Leather - Two Trends that go well together

I've noticed for awhile that Ombre has become a trend this year. I really like this trend. I think I really became aware of it and how much I liked it when I saw Gwen Stefani's wedding dress by John Galliano for Dior back in 2002.




Before I left for vacation I bookmarked several Ombre items I found that I liked but I'll post some of those another time. This post is about some items I recently found that incorporate the Ombre trend with another popular trend I like Patent Leather.


Bloomingdales

Bloomingdales showed an Ombre and Patent Leather bag by Maxx in their recent catalog.


Maxx New York Women's Degradé Ombre Large Tote Bag - $198
Comes in Purple as well.


Also at Bloomingdale's was this bag by L.A.M.B (seems Gwen likes the Ombre trend in things other than Wedding Dresses)





L.A.M.B. Manchester Ombre Patent Leather Tote - $495

The above bags can be yours with a 20% discount by using the code FLOWER now thru May 21st at Bloomingdales.com.
