Purple is the new Red

Purple is the new Red.

Let’s forget the cliché of wearing red on Valentine’s Day. Instead, I will be wearing purple, a deep amethyst dress, so regal and sophisticated.

Purple is as stimulating as red, but is also associated with creativity and luxury.

Whether you’re dining at a romantic restaurant or sipping cocktails with your friends, make sure you look both flirty and fashionable.

Sleep a la Marilyn, wearing only your favorite perfume while listening to magical love songs.

And, the world needs more Love letters so I will share a beautiful inspiring poem by Annie Finch on my sexiest stationery for my special someone.

Love, Always.

 

The poem

Love in the Morning

 

Morning’s a new bird


stirring against me


out of a quiet nest,


coming to flight—



 

quick-changing,


slow-nodding,


breath-filling body,



 

life-holding,


waiting,


clean as clear water,



 

warmth-given,


fire-driven


kindling companion,



 

mystery and mountain,


dark-rooted,


earth-anchored.
