What’s your favorite color? Blue is my all-time fav., but if you ask me that on any given day, I might respond differently because I have what I call “favorite color phases.” Right now, I’m actually very into the color purple. I think it may have something to do with that Marc Jacobs Satin Mia purse Ella posted about a couple weeks ago.

The royal purple color of the Coco clutch by Lorelei naturally drew me in and I had to choose it as my seventh choice for the “12 Handbags of Christmas.” Plus, I loved that the color was “royal purple” instead of just “purple.” As you know, purple has always been associated with royalty and I’ve always had a bit of an interest in that. I even wrote Princess Diana a letter when I was younger and I’m not one to write fan letters, but oh well, that’s another story.

If you’re not into the royal purple, but love the unusual and adorable shape of the purse, it’s also available in fuschia, acid green and black and the size (10″ l x 6″ h x 2″ d) is once again, perfect for parties. It sells for $212 and besides being made from satin, it’s also topped with metallic snake trim. Now, all you need is a tiara and you’re set!

Oh, if you’re wondering, I did receive a nice letter back from Princess Diana’s lady-in-waiting—I was quite excited!
