Purple potato chips kettle cooked style

Remember my excitement over the discovery of the PURPLE POTATO in Portland, Oregon? Well, I'm over the moon when I found these Lay's Kettle Cooked Medleys (limited edition) at my local grocery store. Made in purple, red, and gold potatoes...best part is no food coloring! 

I'm happy to report they taste like normal potato chips, crunchy and salty. The red ones are actually more like a magenta hue, and the purple ones are a dark vampy purple (perfect for the Halloween mood today)! The colors are so much fun! I'm surprised there aren't more companies making natural colored potato chips a staple. Well, maybe not, I can think of one reason...I did find that the darker chips may leave little visible bits on the teeth (like spinach or Oreo cookies), risking embarrassment in social situations.

Purple Label at Ralph Lauren

Why do men look better in purple? Is that why Ralph Lauren has a collection called "Purple Label" for men but not for women?

 I am especially crazy about these purple socks on this guy...

Purple dress fit for a princess

I cannot seem to take my mind off this breathtaking purple dress after seeing it on the gorgeous fashion blogger Mary Orton of Memorandum 

Black Halo Karlowe Gown in Orchid

Worth the $650?

I think it's worth every penny on Mary O. at least! 

Doesn't she look like a princess?

A fairy tale! I couldn't help saving snippets of her beautiful photos here. 

Spooky Halloween bouquet looks pretty

Was at my local Michael's and spotted this really cool Halloween decoration....loving the polka dot vase and the stripe gold canes (reminiscent of whimsical witches in Wizard of Oz). Not a big fan of the scary skulls and skeleton hands, but I like the idea of the pretty gold, black, and dark purple combination! 

Edible flowers made of kale

If I were throwing a party today, I would like centerpieces decorated with edible kale in hues of purple and pink like this!

...and maybe add some fresh plums to the kale decorations too! Yeah!

My Little Pony Twilight Sparkle for Halloween

I saw this Little Pony hoodie in a Kmart advertisement last week and thought to myself "I need this for Halloween!" Granted I don't really celebrate Halloween anymore, but if I had to wear a costume, I just want to wear this hoodie:

1. There is more than one purple shades in it.

2. The pony has bangs (so do I!)

3. I probably can fit into size girls XL (yay for being a petite)

4. I read about "Twilight Sparkle" online, and the character is very similar to my kind of persona (student, librarian, magic, friendship...love her!)
