Pretty Likes Purple

I have a purple lava lamp. It's the one remaining item of my teenage decor. It completely captures the hippy-dippy boho-chic style i fully adopoted during junior high and high school, but the purple lava with clear liquid in a silver base are toned down enough to fit with my more sophisticated decor. This Retro Radar bedding set ( Overstock.com, $49.99 ) reminds me of my lava lamp, and it would be a great way to recaptures the style of my teen years without reverting to that exact denim and tie-dye situation.

My Anthropologie catalog came last week. Nothing can make me so discontent with my possessions as that catalog. Now I not only need this stunning purple bedding, I also need a chalkboard wall as a backdrop. Pictured: Rosette Bedding $48 - $268
