Grungey Grurple

What the hell is ‘Grurple’ I hear you ask.  Well, mix grey and purple and what do you get?  Some might call it a dark mauve but I like my colours spelt out for me in a juvenile way.  I had a griege (grey and beige) fetish a while ago and now I’m really feeling the grurple.  If purple is groovy and grey is steely then I think grurple is perfect for the upcoming season which sees the revival of grunge.  Ho ho ho, I can’t wait to see the London up-to-minute trendies try and embrace this one.

But back to grurple.  Since grey is supposed to be the colour of the season, I’d rather digress to grurple because I wear grey every freaking season and it’s not such a big colour shock for me.  Plus, I like that it’s purple with some grittiness.  So far, I have two pairs of shoes in grurple but I’m hoping high street stores will start getting grurple happy very soon.  The ones on the left are more like a light grurple that I picked up from Faith for £12 (bless blue cross sales….) and the ones on the right are a pair of Karine Arabian pumps I got a few years back though I still love them to bits.

  1. I must confess, I do love the purple.
    P.S. Where’s the catwalk pic from, is it Margaret Howell?

  4. were you using greige as a term for grey and beige on tfs ages ago? i always thought you just meant grey (as in greige goods). maybe you should call it beirey. hehe.

  6. Grurple 😀
    I’m a big fan of grey, and I like colours that are a little greyed-out. Bright, bright colours and light pastels don’t flatter me at all — so anything that’s a little dulled in colour is quick to take my fancy. I’d usually call it ‘dusky [insert colour here]’, but I like your idea better.
    I love the grurple, but I’ve taken a recent fancy to grink and greyn as well 😀 Any other grey colours I should look out for?
    Let the grey revolution march on!

  7. ^I couldn’t have put it better myself! If I was gonna start any colour revolution – please let it be grey!
    I quite like grue which is really like teal/petrol. Grink is great too – takes the girliness out of pink. Now who can attempt grorange?

  8. Oooh, grorange. Now I’ve never been able to pull off orange (personally, I think it has more to do with guts and less to do with actually suiting the colour 😉
    I’ve started noticing that there’s a fair bit of grellow in the Autumn / Winter collections, too. It’s almost mustard, but not. If you follow 🙂 (millions wouldn’t, nor would they care, but I do! 😉
    And as for grue, it’s one of my favourite colours 😀

  9. I believe that a grurple is something completely different than a grey and purple mix. A grurple is when you get the red, pink, and blue ghosts on top of each other in a game of Ms. Pac-Man. I understand the confusion, but please, don’t make this mistake again.
