Thinking Violet (Win a Biolage Prize Pack!)

This month, we’re shopping in honour of Pantone’s "ultra" colour of the year (win the first on the list!). —Noa Nichol

hair care. This plum-hued ’poo and conditioner ($25 each) gently cleanse and deeply condition colour-treated hair with nourishing coconut milk and antioxidant-rich meadow foam for brilliant shine and lasting vibrancy. Brand-new from Biolage, we love that the R.A.W. Color Care line contains no silicones, sulfates, parabens or artificial colourants, is up to 98 per cent natural origin and is vegan, too! (Congratulations to Gloria C. of Richmond, B.C., who won a Biolage prize pack, including the full Color Care collection plus five Biolage R.A.W. styling products!)

ultra under. From the maker of the world’s most comfortable (without losing an ounce of sexy) underwear, this Hanky Panky low-rise thong ($32 at Diane’s Lingerie) is the perfect purple addition to your top drawer.

step up. Play up your gams to the extreme in these Spandex thigh-high Knife boots by Balenciaga ($1,820).

ring thing. This Nudo Assoluto ring in rose and white gold ($5,900 at Pomellato) puts the spotlight directly on the stunning amethyst stone—and your finger.

pj party. Cosabella’s sophisticated and feminine spin on classic men’s pajamas ($142 at La Jolie Madame) is made of super-soft Pima cotton and modal with satin binding and provides the perfect way to spend a purple night in.

sun specs. When the sun does make an appearance (hopefully this month), be ready with a pair of pink and purple Dior So Real shades.

beauty bomber. Alpha Industries‘ MA-1 W flight jacket in deep purple ($235) is perfect pre-spring, unisex, and reversible to bright orange, making them the ultimate bold statement at any occasion.

lip lock. From ultra violet to hyper glitz, Fenty Beauty’s limited-edition metallic lipstick in a glimmering garnet shade called Sci-Fly ($24 at Sephora) boasts what Rihanna herself calls "glitter on glitter on glitter" build-aility to create the ultimate jewel chrome finish.

water babe. Make an ultra violet splash this season with Ted Baker London‘s feminine Frilda one piece ($189). This ’50s-inspired swimsuit exudes polished retro glam thanks to its pretty ruffles and moulded cups. Best: slip the removable halter strap off to avoid pesky tan lines.

bright idea. Ikea‘s Fado table lamp ($25) creates pretty lavender mood lighting in any room.

first class. Rimowa’s Salsa Air in ultra violet makes travel a truly colourful experience. This lightweight polycarbonate case comes in a variety of sizes, from carry-on to check-in.

lid on it. Whether you opt for Violet Vinyl, Videotape or Purple Reign, these clutch-sized Private eye shadows from Tom Ford ($47 each) are decadent yet discreet.
