So, what say you? Is purple not the best thing ever?!?! Its many shades can be used in so many ways. Looking forward to more purpley goodness in 2012!

Purple has been on my mind lately. And, after a quick review of the past year's posts, I realize my fondness is indisputable. Suitable for both genders, purple's many shades make it extremely popular - perhaps, trumping Honeysuckle as color of the year. To prove it, I've rounded up images from THOS showcasing the color's versatility. Click through to the original posts.

How could I not post such a glamorous cover on the modern glamour blog???

On stands now. Get your issue. And see more pics of this glamorous home on Luxe.ly.

There are two kinds of people I love, those who are unafraid of color and those who are unafraid of pattern. Therefore, it seems, I love Nina Freudenberger of Haus Interior! I've been a fan since learning of her in Lonny Magazine and this recent design for the Hamptons Designer Showhouse demonstrates why. Her foyer injects wit and whimsy into a rather stately environment.

Very Adler-esque, don't you think?

Can quirky eclecticism be glamorous? I say "yay!" The London home of Abigail Ahern is so unapologetic, so provocative, so... weird that it deserves an honorary glamour pass. A rich backdrop of bluish grays provides the perfect canvas for brightly colored accents, an array of textures, and one very cute pup!

See the entire space on The Selby and let me know your thoughts. Are you digging Abigail's daring decor?
