Holler Berry!



It's the color of regal and royalty. It's also the fav choice for celebration. The Queen's crown jewel even use the color in its velvet. Purple and berry (not strawberry, but rather wild and blueberries), have dominates the high street recently. Christmas yet still far away for the Brits to celebrate, still the hues has been a fav choice in the clothing lines.

Esprit even devoted 'special' section for purple, called "Purple Rain" (isn't it cliche?). While at Asos you can even got a selection of Calvin Klein undies in purple. For the one who prefer purple checks, River Island and Topman did quite a number of shirts, tee and ties. Uniqlo and H&M have a variety of great merino wool jumpers.
For me, it's all about the fabric and right choice of purple and berry tones. The one that look chic and luxury. Opt for deep purple hues rather than violet or lavender. Mauve and lilac is a bit off this season (rather summery feel instead).

In my high street stroll recently, I tried on the purple merino jumper from Uniqlo. But the color is a bit off since it's towards the violet side, and the tone is uneven. Alas, I snapped the deep purple merino jumper and stripe black/purple-berry shirt from H&M. Damn sizzling color. Seductive, luxury and delicious! Also, a dark berry shirt from River Island. All at the price that a student like me can afford. (Of course!)
