 look great, feel confident, be yourself

Picture

'Dress shabbily, they notice the dress; dress well, they notice the woman' (Coco Chanel)

It takes 30 seconds to make a first impression that persists for 7 years -
you don't have to be rich, vain or famous to want that impression to be a good one!
Dressing well is not about buying new, expensive or fashionable clothes, or being photo-ready,
but simply understanding the best colours and styles for your colouring, shape, personality and lifestyle.
When you feel confident that you look fabulous, you can express who you are in an instant by what you wear,

'Lovely new experience this morning - looked at myself as I passed a mirror and smiled at what I saw. You've given me so much confidence'   (client 2019)

Buy less, wear more !
Knowing what suits you means you can look good, feel confident, and be yourself
without compromising on style or harming the planet.
You will have more outfits but less clothes, understand how to put together outfits from what you already have,
and buy well (but only once) to update your wardrobe and fill the gaps.

Need help with these dilemmas?
  • you have too many clothes, but still seem to have nothing to wear?
  • you are not confident with how you look?
  • you feel frumpy or stuck in a rut?
  • your colouring or body shape has changed, and you are not sure what works for you?
  • you buy make up but don't know if it suits you

‘Compliment coming your way! My dad said he saw you and he said how pretty you were and how clever because red really suited you and you looked amazing – totally unprompted. Mr. Charming!!!’    text received by a colour client following her consultation, who also said 'I can honestly say I have had more compliments in the last few days than I have had for years – all thanks to your great advice'   ND
 'thankyou for all you have done...without your skills and knowledge I would still be a dowdy 55 year old.  I now have the confidence to dress quickly and smartly, and I feel alive!'   GG

Jump into June in style
- here is the latest

With summer just around the corner, I'm sure many of you will be turning your attention to the holiday season. Whether you are going abroad, doing a staycation or the odd day trip here or there, it's a chance to step away from your 'workaday' look. Of course, this doesn't mean going out to buy everything new. Many will be feeling the economic pinch, so I will be showing my clients how to look stylish whilst being budget conscious. Read on to find out a few of my tips.

summer smackers

Lipstick can instantly transform your look and make your day better! Choose a flattering shade and you'll feel a million dollars. If you're not a lipstick wearer but love the look, try a sheer which has a hint of colour without the intensity. A great choice for summer. Alternatively, choose a lip gloss for a glossy texture: especially great for people who have thinner lips and do not wish to highlight this. Dual purpose cream blush and lip gloss are a great choice for Natural personalities - all the colour you need in one little pot.  Make sure you wear a primer - it will protect your lips, moisturise them and prevent feathering. 

Ask me if you need help to choose your very best lip covering. I can show you the best products and colours for you and provide you with tips to ensure you have the perfect summer smackers.


closet dive

Take a look in your wardrobe with fresh eyes. That shirt dress that is a little tight across the tummy, can you wear it open over a pair of trousers and t-shirt? Those jeans that are too short or worn in the knees could make a great pair of shorts. And an over-sized shirt can be a really useful cover-up for the beach (cotton or cheese cloth are ideal fabrics in the sun). It's also worth digging around in your partner's wardrobe too! And don't forget charity shops where you can often find a hidden gem.

With a little thought and ingenuity, you can reduce your carbon footprint, keep your bank balance healthy, and still look fabulous.

Have fun with your outfits this summer by adding colourful jewellery. How big and bold you are prepared to go very much depends on your style personality. And if you are savvy and have saved your oversized earrings and necklaces from ten years ago, you won't need to buy brand new. 

These playful earrings from jewellery brand, Dakota Rae Dust might be just the job for updating a tired outfit.

Use a make-up bag as a clutch. Empty your products out before dinner, and pop it under your arm. No one will know! As well as saving valuable suitcase space, you may find that a cosmetic bag is far cheaper to buy than a traditional clutch, and is bound to be unique. 


beach to bar and back

These buckle sliders from Marks & Spencer are a fun way to inject colour into your beach or sight-seeing outfit and are kind on the purse too at just £15.

Think of them as upgraded flip-flops. They are easy to wash in the shower after a day at the beach and look great with casual evening outfits too. 


Available in a variety of colours.

to the summer and beyond

I may be a bit unavailable for the next few months. Several renovation projects are happening at once, so I am fairly fully occupied away from home. I will respond as quickly as I can, but messages may only be checked once a day. I can supply make up and skincare as usual, but consultations may have to wait. If you are desperate, contact me, and I may be able to fit you in!

In the autumn I am hoping to launch some new services: an eyewear consultation, a wardrobe editing workshop, and a shortened style session as an add-on to a colour consultation. If you are interested in any of these, let me know and I will keep you updated.

Most of us wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time. That's a lot of clothing doing nothing. Meanwhile, the UK is the most wasteful nation, buying more clothes than anyone else, and throwing away more as well. It is estimated that 11 million garments go into landfill every week, and while we are recycling more, the places that receive our recycling are getting so much stuff, that they are now putting it in landfill.  Yes, we should also shop ethically, ensuring we are not supporting exploitation, and giving thought to sustainable fabrics. But perhaps we should also buy less in the first place. Fast fashion is a major contributor to greenhouse gases, and it won't do you any lasting favours either - just furnish a wardrobe of clothes you don't wear.

Buy well, buy once, buy less
- your bank balance will be happier, as will the planet.

I will help you translate this season's key trends into your wardrobe in a way that makes you look and feel fabulous. One or two pieces will update your wardrobe, and if you get colour and style right, will give you value for money in years to come.

Get in touch today to book your appointment, whether you need a review of your colouring, a complete start from scratch, help with sorting your wardrobe, a gift for someone else, or a FREE make up or skincare refresh.
