Glorified - Purple

Fall time means warmer, more comfortable colors. Purple does that to me. It actually calms me. It gives me this sense of peace and quiet. It makes me feel hugged in a way. Sounds weird I know but that is how I feel. It's a glorified feeling...I also feel prettier when I wear a purple top or accessory.

My love for purple is huge. If you follow me on Pinterest you know I have a whole board dedicated to one of my favorite colors. Some say it is the color of "frustration" but I call it the uplifting color. Purple is fun. It can be used pretty much in any season. During a gray, rainy fall or winter it adds a splash of color to any outfit and weather, and in spring and summer it adds subtle darkness to any light-colored outfit. Plus, is it me or does purple look sophisticated? So excellent. Loving it.   

It being mid-September I am going to look for a new purple top since I either lost mine or accidentally donated it. Oops! Wish me luck.

Celebrate Your Holidays with Purple Glitz & Sparkles

Why hello Selma's blog readers!

I hope you are having an amazing week leading up

to Christmas (wow, did I just say that?!) 

I honestly don't know where the time has gone, seriously.

While Selma is on her lovely trip having fun, it is I,

Sierra from Ocean Dreams blog sent here to 

entertain you! I thought I would bring some

festive fun to my bestie's blog and since I know how

much she loves the color purple, I thought I would

find some amazing photos on Pinterest to glitz 

up her blog world today.

Hopefully all of this purple glitz will brighten your

Christmas world as well! :)

Whenever I see Selma I always manage to give her something

purple. I can totally see her having pretty purple nails with sparkles

like these. Aren't they gorgeous?!

Don't forget about your sparkly purple heels!

The bows on these pumps are positively

precious and of course purple, lol!

Okay I just love her purple eye shadow.

This is just pure magic. Can I be her please?!

Also, let's not forget about a purple Christmas.
There's something oh so magical about purple on a Christmas
tree and pretty purple ornaments.
Don't get me started about the dining room -
so pretty!

So I found the last two photos on My Purple Hoodie on Tumblr.

Selma my dear, you must check this Tumblr page out!

Purple everything!! :)

Have a beautiful Christmas lovely readers and

thanks for reading this very purple-icious post! :)

Selma will be back before you know it
and until then let her know that you miss her!
I know I do!

xoxo, Sierra

Last Day

Have a terrific start into this new week. I'm sort of having off for the next few days. This has nothing to do with Labor Day but it sure feels like it. Waking up this morning I needed some purple inspiration...

...this is just perfect...love to start a day like this.

No real plans for today except for creating some yummy brownies (so not for me, though), going to the movies, and enjoying the last day of August 2009!!!

Chill. Read. Learn. Chill Some More.

About 434 new blog entries were waiting for me to be read. I'm down to 153 and it's been a crazy afternoon. I enjoyed it though. New ideas and inspiration occurred while reading wonderful blogs about life, love, happiness, culture, fashion and art. My eyes are sore but it was worth it - every single bit.
Oh, I went to work today...for sure. I came home early and decided to just sit back and enjoy the afternoon. It's 90 degrees outside and even though I love the heat I wanted to stay inside. Reading always inspired me, and as I mentioned in my earlier blog I get easily inspired by one particular book. Eat. Pray. Love. is just one of my favorites. I could read this over and over again. Love it. I'm so happy one of my best friends gave it to me. Love her for that. Thanks A. It's an amazing book and I'm sure it's guiding me towards the right path(s).



Not only do books inspire me but also such great pictures just like this one.
Do you see a common theme here?! Purple perhaps?! Yes. I just love the color purple. The book, the movie and definitely the color itself!
