And the winner of the 2018 Color of the Year is .... *drum roll please* ULTRA VIOLET!

We are blessed to have this rich shade of violet be the front-runner for the latest trends. This royal shade makes any skin tone shine brighter than the smile that completes the Queen draped in this. The classic summery bohemian style to simply posh to ultra edgy, this shade fits every lifestyle. Here are seven ways to incorporate this shade into your wardrobe.

1. Dresses on dresses on dresses

It's a summer must-have: the perfect sundress. Whether it is loosely fit or tight around your luscious curves this dress will make you shine beyond belief. Dress up with chunky sandals or beauty waves for a laid-back vibe or gold t-strap pumps and matching hair pieces for the perfect wedding guest dress.

2. Bag it up

Bags are a must for those long days at the beach and to dress you up at the tiki bar later in the evening. From Totes to petite crossbody's, you will have the perfect pop of color. Pair with holographic keychains or a soft silk scarf to complete the look.

3. Throw some shade

Good shade, that is ... Protect your beautiful eyes with ultra violet-tinted shades. Mirror sunglasses will always be a reigning fad. Stand out with this unique style to complete your everyday look.

4. Paint on some eye-catching makeup

There is nothing more satisfying than getting the perfect blend of your shimmery eyeshadow... OK, maybe getting the perfect winged eyeliner is. Deep purple makes every eye color pop, especially with the addition of chrome glitter. Spruce up your look with a matching lip color or purple high lighter.

5. Show your locks some love

Doesn't every girl dream to dye their hair some crazy beautiful color? I know I wanted purple all throughout my hair. Dark purple highlights to whole head coverage is still in the spotlight this season. Go safe with a semi-permanent or go big at your local salon. Pair with butterfly clips and floral accents to give you a delicate fairy vibe.

6. Decorate those claws

Ultra violet purple belongs on nails. It's shimmer and deep hue makes every skin tone pop. This shade is not too dark to wear in the summer, as it changes pigmentation as different light hits it. Shape your nails any way you want for the classic bad *ss look.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.
