At the beginning of this month, I hosted a colour event at Bluewater for five competition winners, each winner had a taster of what a Colour Analysis would be like, we went through what season they were likely to be, based on a few factors, we spoke about wow colours, (these are a selection of colours perfectly tailored to you, for your individual skin colour, eye colour & hair colour) We talked about how to know if a colour suits you & how to wear colour if you are not used to it.

The right colours have the ability make your skin glow & make you look like you have had a good eight hours sleep & this is something I have discovered & (learnt) as I have got older. I wore a lot of black when I was a moody teen, but even then I realised the power of colour (my electric blue jumper dress & emerald green faux fur coat from Topshop & Miss Selfridge were much loved & worn)

During a colour analysis you will usually fall into one season, but when I do a Colour Analysis, I do not want you fixated by one season & usually I find you can borrow some colours from another season related on the colour wheel. I want clients to use Colour Analysis as a helpful tool to enhance their wardrobe. If you really love a piece of clothing & it is not in your seasonal palette, do not let that put you off…always buy what you love.

Sometimes even if we know our season or what colours suit us, we might not know how that converts to what is out there in the shops. Well I can report, whether you are a Winter, Autumn, Spring or Summer, there are loads or clothes currently, in all four seasons.

Before the colour event, I pre-selected lots of clothes from different brands at Bluewater, & most of the following pieces I picked in person (not online. The selection is from White Stuff, River Island, Fatface & Oliver Bonas, there is something for everyone, whatever your season.
