Violet Sightings: Purple Cafe- Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA
Over the Thanksgiving Holiday, I gave thanks and went out west to my origins on the West Coast- California.
As luck (and a good friend) would have it, we stumbled upon a bombardment of violet entities while in San Diego and Pacific Beach (or known to locals as “PB” ) is a purple spectacle all on its own- and not in a Barney kinda way.
While lunching, we came up on the Purple Cafe on Grand Ave. Decked out with lavender walls ( and the scent- to add a special touch). It instantly took me away from my fond memories of PB Bar and Grill and, Moondoggies and Typhoon Saloon in the evening. This was the gem that instantly relaxed, drew you in and melted the stress.
My favorite takeaway from the Purple Cafe? The Jimi Hendrix, violet framed piece behind the barista.

Who is the women with the desired hair? its Kristen Dolle, Founder and CEO of start-up media agency Pink Brick House. Her website is www.kristendolle.com and she has done some great interviews and writing pieces on New York Women in Communications.
We met at the Ladies Lotto event in NYC this week, and upon hearing that she was no longer going to have this color soon- it broke our heart! But have no fear, we will always have snaps!
Violet Sightings: New Paltz, New York
On a dewy, wet weekend, we packed up and headed to upstate NY, New Paltz to be exact. The quiet adventure was much needed as the entire summer was spent in the city. Along with the ride, I couldn’t help but reconnect with nature, just sitting, listening and observing- the pale- purple valley mist; the small, simple thistle colored flower, the decorative sequined Grapes and vintage candy boxes in Lavender, Violet at the a vintage store and the lovely woman’s lavender tips at the store we stopped in upon arrival.

Who is this new purple persona?
Yes, we’re talking about Rihanna, who has unleashed her violet vampness for Paris Fashion Week Spring 2010 at Gareth Pugh’s very grey, very greyt show. This looks like the job for MAC’s Glimmerglass in Blackfire- a superb gloss with sheer black and purple hues.
She was spotted again in the front row of Balmain’s Spring 2010 show looking Lavande-Garde!
