This season, luxurious purple stole the show on and off runways. Victoria Beckham showcased trendy magenta pieces while Carolina Herrera paired a violet blouse with an eggplant skirt, proving that you can never have too much of purple!

Jewel tones are hot for Fall 2009 and this versatile shade suits most skin tones. The regal colour breathes life into even the most demure fashionista, generating energy and confidence. Go all out like Eva Mendes and Michelle Monaghan or introduce an eye-catching accessory to spruce up a monochrome outfit. These Pedro Garcia peep-toes and Marc Jacobs boots are guaranteed to set your pulse racing. And when in doubt, opt for a Mulberry patent Daria tote in amethyst.

Purple goes gloriously with other brights and adds a luxe edge to neutrals. Indulge in a royal flush and be treated like the queen that you are!
