WTF Is Radiant Orchid and Why Do We Want It So Badly?

Pantone's 2014 Color of the Year has us coveting purple everything. Here, some of our top picks

Touch of Heat
Here at Total Beauty, we like our beauty products functional, as well as fashionable. (The mint green color of the Harry Josh Pro Tools Dryer 2000 probably excited us more than any of its other features.) So when I found this radiant orchid blow-dryer, the Wahl Supadryer, I was instantly head over heels. I love an excuse to not put away my hair tools (sorry, honey).

Nailed It
Whenever I come across a new trend that I feel I just have to wear (why does fashion feel so obligatory sometimes?), the first place I try it out is on my nails. Nail polish is quick, fairly easy and can be wiped away in an instant if you don't like it. My Pantone picks: Essie Nail Polish in Play Date, Butter London Nail Lacquer in Molly Coddled and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Suspiria.

Small Packages
We love Victoria Beckham and the oversized purses she's come to represent, but sometimes a girl's gotta give her arms a break. This Victoria Beckham Two-Toned Leather Shoulder Bag is perfect for carrying just the essentials (keys, breath mints, lip gloss) and with just a thin band of radiant orchid, is easy to mix and match with your wardrobe.

Eye Candy
Try out a colorful smoky eye with Laura Mercier Petite Baked Eye Colour Bonbons in Amethyst Trio. Build a wash of color from light to dark, line, define and you're ready to catch some lingering glances.

How gorgeous is this Make Up For Ever Powder Blush in Lavender 9. I'm not quite sure how to wear it (albeit sparingly), but I simply can't stop staring.
