party with gatsby: purple power (high fashion & high street)

Looking at the Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 collections, it's obvious that purple and lilac are gonna be BIG. British VOGUE supported this with their article on The Power of Purple. I love some of the catwalk trends, including the Roskanda Ilinic dress, paired with the nude heels (second row, second from the right), the Sportmax number (first row, second from the left) and, of course, the Chanel coat (third row, third from right).

I took inspiration from VOGUE's post and had a look around some high street websites and found some purple items that are affordable and you'll be bang on trend and ready for colder days! (Direct link if you hover over item name/description.)
