Currently Trending: Admirable Amethyst

08/04/20 | Fashion and Style, Shopbop, Trending, UGG

Amethyst is one of the top colors trending this Summer and unlike some trends, this is one I agree with.   This light purple is such a pretty pop of color, and while not as deep as lavender it still packs a punch.  When hearing the name, some only think of the gemstone and while you can get many pretty pieces in that hue, it is not just for jewerly.    And before we go on, yes,  slightly different from the 2014 Pantone color of the year, Orchid, which I featured on the blog here.

As you all know, I have a thing for castles and I can tell you from my many trips, purple, or more specifically amethyst, is considered a regal color by monarchs of many countries and has been associated with both luxury and royalty for many years.   But it is not just for castles and monarchs, whether it is a velvet cushion, a crinkled gauze dress, street-chic sneakers or a purple pop of eye makeup there are so many gorgeous amethyst options to include in your life this Summer:

And since I did not want to add two pairs of earrings these Kate Spade New York Trio Prong Studs are not in the collage above but I do like them – they add an extra touch of sparkle with timeless crystal studs.

What do you think of the Amethyst hue?

    I forgot how much I like this color. So glad that it’s making a comeback and what a wide array of suggestions you have. I will be on the lookout for this great color. Glad it’s coming back in style.

    I am going to have to try the Lancôme Le Stylo Waterproof Long Lasting Eyeliner. I bet the color will look really terrific with my blue eyes. Always looking for the latest cosmetic item to perk up my daily beauty routine.

    I don’t know if you find yourself in a rut sometimes and love the fact that it is waterproof. A twofer! I will have to see how many people comment on it. Probably is going to be quite a conversation starter.

    I love light purple. Another color that is perfect for warmer weather. Out of all of the items I see here the bikini is a must. I could use a family appropriate summer bikini. Most of my bikinis are Brazilian style which are boyfriend approved. I forgot to comment on your beautiful romper for your 8 year bloganniversity. I was half asleep late last night.

    Super color.

    One of my favorite eye shadows is this color by Urban Decay.

    I think it is so pretty and such a nice change. I feel like it will go with almost any color, might try it with white and dark jeans too.

    Thanks for keeping me trendy Kelly!
