Besides playing with textures, ruffles, layering, plaids, and colored tights for Fall 2008, the one trend I want to draw attention to is the purple haze seen looming over all the runways. Different shades of plums, violets, and royal purple’s will be a forefront color this fall, and that means jewelry and accessories as well!

First of all, I just want to say thank God! I am starting to see rings of neon lights around everything I look at. Good bye yellow, which was not mellow this summer, and hello plum gorgeous.
Second of all, this means exciting things if you are thinking about your collection for Fall. Almost all colors pair well with the hue de jour. Yellow, rose, pink and green golds compliment the color perfectly, while all jewel toned gems help highlight the main purple hue being worn. All purple ensembles will be big as well, mixing shades of purple in an outfit, and then pairing with purple accessories as well.
