Opening your eyes to Charity Shopping
June 21, 2021
Charity clothes shopping - why everyone should be doing it!
Allocating some time to a charity shop spree provides a guilt free way to shop. You can put your hands on a whole variety of colours (irrespective of the current trends) and find some truly inspiring items to add excitement to your wardrobe for a fraction of the price of the high street. And the best part is that it encourages you to be more daring... if it's not right when you get it home, it doesn't matter! You've contributed to a bigger, better cause.
I've done a number of face-to-face colour appointments over the past couple of weeks and talked to all my clients about red. EVERYONE can wear it but it's all about finding the right tone. The 'right' red for me is a pink (not orange) tone so I was over the moon to find this dress on a charity shop run. Hunting through charity shops was a regular past time when I was younger.... I would find some fantastic fabrics in dated styles and 'up style' them with my Grandma's old sewing machine. Well, I don't get there quite as often, but if I can, I still love to mooch. Last week I popped into Acorns and found this beautiful red dress (just £7) and and gorgeous chunky, large scale, silver bracelet (£2)! LOVE THEM! Who wouldn't? Style it up with an animal scarf or a woven belt, a bright red lipstick and BANG! Just £9 for a a new outfit and all to a good cause.
Do you know which red is the right red for you? x

The short answer? Yes! But wait for it, there’s more to it than that! Shopping sustainably requires you to buy only things you know you will wear so let’s make sure you find the right yellow for you. Buying the wrong tone might leave you looking a tad under the weather and less likely to wear your new purchase again and again.
Our newly opened boutique provides a unique shopping experience! Our clothing collection and accessories have all been carefully curated to provide a variety of colourways for every seasonal palette.
New branding, New Premises! We are officially opening on Saturday 15th February so come and say hello...
This week was Day 1 + 2 of our first Colour Analysis training course so I've been a little busy but, absolutely LOVING the opportunity to share my experience with our new trainees - and what a fantastic group they are!
After months of behind the scenes planning, I am delighted to announce the launch of my new business 'The Style and Colour Academy' and the dates for our first course in Colour Analysis!
Now that the decorations are back in the loft (?), there is no better time for a fresh start, a declutter (or I prefer to use the word 'edit') - it's time to take back control. Of course, this will mean different things for different people. It might be eating more healthily, drinking less alcohol, sorting the finances, organising your wardrobe or clearing out the kitchen cupboards. For me, it's about re-evaluating my priorities in business and ensuring I am working as effectively as possible (oh and all of the above too of course!) .
With the summer holidays fast approaching the prospect of adorning a swimming costume (or God forbid a bikini) can be a little daunting to say the least! So strut your stuff with confidence this summer by finding out the most flattering swimwear for your body shape using my style guide below...
Doing my own colours.... 'Having your colours done' is not a phrase which means something to everyone. And the 'seasonal system' can appear misleading... people often think if they are a 'Winter' this has a reflection on their character (cold or dark!). So let me enlighten you a little...
