Let me just come out with it… purple is the worst color (in my opinion of course), you will never ever ever see a jewel toned purple anywhere around here. It hurts my eyes. But a soft lavender… that, I can get into and paired with a nice rich neutral like rust. I am definitely down with it.

Even while I was searching for lavender/lilac items so much purple, purple came up… my poor eyes will never un-see! I really took one for the team. However, I found some really great pieces to help bring the right amount of lavender and rust into anyone’s life, in little or big ways.

Lavender: Dress | Petite Bag | Mug | Velvet Chair | Bowl | Linen Tunic | Plate | Stool | Side Table

Rust: Club Chair | Vase | Bikini | Floor Lamp | Sofa | Cushion | Chair | Wall Mirror | Bag
