look great, feel confident, be yourself
'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,
you don't have to be rich, vain or famous to want that impression to be a good one!

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.

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. |

accessorise
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. |
make up clutch
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.
