One of these dressy hats by Emporio Armani will make a great addition for any regular outfit.

Of the four seasons, Fall is this writer's favorite, not because of the gorgeous colors of the changing season, or the crisp, anticipatory winds that will send leaves whirling and laughing round my feet like mischievous children, not even for the fantastic holiday parties that are filled with good times and great friends. No. Although those are all on my list of the best of the best, the thing that makes fall A-#1 to me is the magnificently rich fabrics, knits and styles that are so pleasurably necessary once the cold starts to set in. To bundle and snuggle yourself in the kind of beautiful yumminess that feels like your being hugged all day, and that makes everyone else want to reach out and touch you, that's what I'm talking about. Really quality produced Velvets and Velours - the kind that when you touch them, you can't help but make an "Mmmmmm" sound - are exactly the stuff my Autumn dreams are made of. Today's selections are just that -- so luxurious, so flattering, touchable and "Mmmm-able" .... nope, the cold can't get here fast enough for me!

A mysterious color, Purple is associated with both royalty and spirituality. It was the favorite color of Egypt's Cleopatra. On a color graph, Purple would be a direct combination between hot red and cool blue. That means that there would be some of both extremes in this color - does that sound like someone we know? Fashion Paradise has selected these gorgeous examples of Royal Purple, just for you, Fair Queen, because you vibrate that which purple stands for: It's richness, it's dark complexity, it's uniqueness, the fun creativity it inspires and how it seems to make everything around it just that much prettier .. yes, that definitely does sound like someone we know!

Blue. In the ancient art of Feng Shui, blue is associated with "Harmonious Expansion and Gentle Growth, Deep Calm and Serenity." There is the "Blue Power Suit", "Singing the Blues" and "Blue Skies Smiling on Me". It has also been scientifically proven that a classroom of children perform best under a blue ceiling. OK, enough trivia: We chose it because it's beautiful and that's all there is to it! Here at Fashion Paradise, we are proud to bring you "The Blue's" and have chosen some gorgeous selections of one of nature's favored colors. You'll flow like the ocean and be free and endless like the sky ... and you'll certainly turn some heads, Sweet Blue Belle, in your True Blue Style alla Fashion Paradise.
