Everything from the shoulders up is where colour does its most powerful work. ✨

Wearing colours from your palette close to your face, a lip colour from your season, and jewellery in your best metal are details I tell my clients to prioritise first. These are an easy starting point with a high impact.

To my clients: Tell me the most meaningful change you made after your colour analysis in the comments 👇🏼

Off to see Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club.

Obviously, there must be sequins!

There will be train travel and general schlepping around, so comfy feet are a must too.

(Ignore the mess - the room's set up for sewing at the moment - more on that later!)

This is how I want to help my clients to feel about their clothes!

The women who come to me for personal style sessions often say that the clothes in their wardrobes just don't feel like them any more.

The magic happens, and the worry ends, when we understand which colours, fabrics and styles make us feel great and truly like ourselves!

That feeling when you put something on, look in the mirror and you know... Yes! That's ME! 😍

Knowing where to place a belt, which shape of sunglasses to reach for, or how much jewellery to wear are all styling decisions that feel small but can make or break an outfit.

In your personal style analysis session, I'll help you identify the accessories that work specifically for your style profile, from the shapes that suit your face to the scale that complements your body’s proportions.

You'll leave knowing what brings your outfit together, so every finishing touch feels intentional.

Did you know that as part of your Colour Analysis, you'll get resources that help you long after your session? 🤔

These include a colour fan full of swatches so you can match colours to your season in your everyday life. 🌈

At the nail salon, you can hold it up to any polish to ensure the shades you choose work with your seasonal palette. 💅

Leave the nail salon feeling confident with every polish choice.

You know that a £200 jacket you have worn fifty times? That's a better purchase than the one you bought on an impulse because it was only £30 in the sale, but it's still sitting in your wardrobe with the tags still on, because although it was "a bargain", it isn't really you! 👗

This concept is called cost per wear, and it's one of the most helpful ways to think about your wardrobe. A piece you wear often ends up costing very little per use, even if the price tag felt high at first.

Knowing your style helps you to invest in quality pieces with confidence. 🤩

Do you remember the outfit I showed you yesterday?
Looks really expensive doesn't it?!? 😉
Would it surprise you to know that the whole ensemble cost me less than £100?
Amazing, yes?! But how?
The shirt, belt and waistcoat are all "rescued" from Vinted, the boots were a sale super-bargain from the high street, and the jeans are bog-standard, cheap and cheerfuls from the high street that have had the standard for me Dylon treatment.
They suit my colouring and style perfectly, and because of this they are all freinds with one another and harmonise to make a great outfit for me.
On someone with a different style profile or season they would probably look really cheap, or like something from the dressing up box!
When you know, you know!
