Ok, so hopefully you now have some idea of whether you are warm or cool and your undertone vs overtone from these posts. Now it’s time to figure out your intensity – what is intensity? It’s the saturation or brightness or dullness of the colour. Albert Munsell was the man who figured out that colour…
Yesterday in the comments of the first part of Discover Your Colours – Warm or Cool – this comment was left by rb: This is such a complicated thing. I have about the pinkest skin on earth so am a cool, but I have reddish brunette hair and blue eyes with gold flecks, so I’m…
In honour of my new colour system (The Absolute Colour System of 18 colour directions) that I’ve been working on for the past few months, which has finally arrived from the printers, I thought that I’d do a week on colour concepts. Why does colour matter so much? It’s the difference between looking your…
There is so much out here on the internet about wardrobe capsules. When I started writing about them six years ago, it wasn’t something that people talked much about. Now, they are everywhere and there are hundreds (if not thousands) of blog posts giving advice on how to create your ideal capsule. But what I…

Reader Fins asked: To my question: I have grey streaks in what used to be very dark brown hair, and I have noticed that the hair looks more grey when I wear the greyer end of colours such as mauve or cocoa, whereas with mid-intensity blues or with aquas or dark charcoal my hair looks…
1. You’re Number One You’ll get seen first – you are the star of your story, not your clothing. Colours that flatter you make you the star. They ensure that you are seen, and noticed, rather than your clothing taking centre stage. The right colours will create a harmonious balance between what you wear and…
Following on from my post the other day on figuring out whether you have warm or cool colouring, this comment was left by YSJ: I tried this, and although I can see the change in skin tone when I hold up different colors, I really can’t tell which ones look better on me! Is it…
Reader Question: I have light colouring so light colours work best. So what should you do when you’re overweight and feel that light colours make you look larger. Black is the most slimming colour, isn’t it? Retailers sell lots of black because it’s easy as they’ll tell you “black goes with everything” (it doesn’t, it’s…
“If you’re looking in my eyes you’re not looking at my thighs.” This is one of my favourite sayings – and it’s so true! Your face is the place we look when we are communicating with you. So many women dress to conceal what they perceive to be flaws and spend their time and energy…

It led me to think about how different personality types prefer different colours. So I thought I’d do a series of posts on choosing…
Colour has such a profound impact on our appearance. It really does. Because of this impact, I’m passionate about colour and you will see me wearing colour more of the time than less. It can make you look: younger or older brighter or duller more vibrant or more tired I don’t know about you but…

There are two main things to consider when deciding on whether you are a fan of simple outfits and patterns or complex ones. The first and most important one is your personality and values The second and only marginally less important is your physicality. So let’s look at both these aspects. Personality and Values Who…
Your skin covers your body, it’s always visible even in small parts when you cover up with clothing. The human eye cannot help but look at skin, our eyes are naturally drawn to where the skin is (skin can be exciting – that’s why there is such a thing as strippers, and why most work…
Embracing the Art of Simplicity “Too much choice is actually a bad thing; our brains can’t really cope with too much choice. So, sometimes limiting ourselves to a slightly smaller colour palette makes life easier.” Imogen Lamport Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the myriad of choices in your wardrobe, yet found yourself unable to…
There is no one route to style. You cannot become instantly stylish just from understanding your body shape (sorry Trinny and Susannah, it’s just not that simple). There is, what I call, the Style Puzzle, a group of elements when they all go together define your personal style. These puzzle pieces are just the start…
