TRENDING: 3 Fall Combos We Love

Some of my fav street style colour combos of 2014. Via Harper's Bazaar.

They say that good things come in threes and when it comes to colour, I completely agree. Monochromatic looks are super cool but require a deft hand at loading up on texture to pull it off. Two-tone outfits look safe but can feel incomplete. But add that magical third shade and suddenly, you have fashion magic. 

For Fall '14, the most stylish on the streets of New York, Paris and Milan showed us how to do colour right. And, it turns out that the most stunning looks were often super simple colour combos that packed a real punch. This fall, try pairing 2 neutrals with one bright pop - it's as easy as that. If you're not big on brights, try letting your third element be a metallic - either a shiny silver or a bold gold. We've shown red, green and navy looks here, but purple, yellow, orange, bright pink and cobalt blue will shake up your fall and winter wardrobe, too. 

Why let your summer wardrobe have all the fun? Let these three perfect fall combos inspire you the next time you're faced with a what-to-wear moment...

SPRING TRENDS: How to Pull Off Purple

As we talked about last week, purple is just one of those colours; you either really like it or you really don't. As little girls, we flock to the hue because there's only so much pink we can wear. And, of course, there's the whole royalty thing. But while purple hasn't been on trend for quite some time, there's a shake-up happening in the fashion world right now. Give credit to the Duchess and the modern purple dresses she regularly rocks on the red carpet, or blame it on Burberry, (I blame all my problems on Burberry), but shades of purple are currently having a major moment. And with Pantone's recent declaration that 'Radiant Orchid' is the 'It' colour of 2014, looks like purple is here to stay.

Read on for the chic colour combos that will help you pull off purple with aplomb (or should I say a-plum? hee hee)...
