My mother just sold my childhood home (tear) and graciously offered to send me a gorgeous pair of silk Louis XV chairs as a sort of souvenir from the house. The only problem is that they are purple. My mother is what you'd call "a purple person" — everything from her golf balls to her extensive cashmere sweater collection to her dining room walls are all some shade of the color.

We first professed our love for newcomer Lindsey Wixson during New York Fashion Week. The Kansas-born, 16-year-old model has a lot to rave about — the most adorable pouty lips being number one.

Every girl had a diary at some point in her life, right? I know I did, and I remember it fondly. It was purple and had a little lock on the front. But as kids are known to do, I eventually lost the tiny key, so the personal records of my adolescence remain hidden behind the cover.
