News & Events

Hi everyone,

Spring has sprung, and if you’re in the mood for a clearout. Why not try a combined Colour, Style and Wardrobe Weed session in the comfort of your own home?

For a special package price of £195.00 I will give you a full colour session, including your 42 colour swatch wallet. Determine your body shape, discuss your personality and lifestyle and finally help you get to grips with that mountain of clothes you never wear. The session lasts 3 hours*. And the cost includes my travel to you if you live up to 3 miles away from BN1 3PH.

Get in touch now for availability and look forward to a clearer, less cluttered wardrobe that helps you to get dressed quicker, easier and really makes you look and feel your best everyday.

(*sometimes, additional sessions may need to booked depending upon the amount of clothes.)

Ok, just to run through his again quickly for you. Mini sessions are limited availability only and can only be taken at the times stated. You end up with the same result as a full hour session, but it just takes half as long for less than half the price. Also, I have stripped out all the extras such as wallets, lipsticks and workbooks and you can choose to purchase these as extra if you wish.

You can book as many mini sessions as you wish in one go. For example, to combine Colour, Style and a Make Up bag Blitz will be £95 for 90mins (Normally £225 for 3 hours).

Dates for March

Sat 17th March – **LAST MINUTE AVAILABILITY** 5pm only.

Are you a bag addict?

Bags are pretty great arn’t they? They always fit no matter how many Creme Eggs we have eaten and seem to have magical fridge-like qualities that render the contents completely invisible to any member of the opposite sex. Mine never ceases to amaze me in its never ending supply of coins for the parking meter, daughters hairbands, lipsticks, pens and grubby tissues just when I need them. I’ve even been known to magic up a handful of skittles whilst waiting at the school gate (much less likely to cause a mess than Malteasers).

Unlike the colours we wear near our face, they always suit us. In fact, if you adore a certain colour that doesn’t adore you – ‘mustard’ or ‘camel’ in my case – you can always indulge that desire with a bag.

Generally speaking most women require at least 4 different types of bags;

• A ‘sensible’ work bag, perhaps to carry a laptop as well as purse, keys, phone etc. Normally this will be carried by hand, as opposed to on the shoulder as you don’t want to crumple that suit. And normally in your favourite neutral – black, brown or navy.
• A more casual ‘off duty’ bag used for general day to day purposes. Not too big and often a shoulder bag, this is for the basics – purse, keys, phone etc.
• An ‘evening’ bag. Generally a clutch bag – again, think of how a shoulder strap can interfere with how your clothes fall over your body. This bag can indulge your personal love of decoration, colour and texture.
• A ‘tote’ bag. This is a large and roomy bag for those days when you need to cart around everything including the kitchen sink. Particularly if you have children and you need somewhere to stash discarded clothes, toys and half eaten biscuits.

So once the basics are covered, extra bags are really just a variation on the above theme. Some of them become such an extension of ourselves that we can’t imagine leaving the house without them. Others, for whatever reason never quite enter our hearts in the same way.

So, with my own personal obsession in mind I have come up with an event that allows us (almost) guilt free bag shopping indulgence.

‘Handbags for Hospices’ is an event that allows others to bid on your unwanted bags, with the profit going the The Martlets Hospice in Brighton and Hove.

Here’s how it works….

Please come along and bring any unwanted handbags with you. They can be any make/label or vintage as long as they are in decent condition.

If you have any special ones, feel free to place a reserve on the sale price. If someone bids over your reserve, you will get the reserve price and the Martlets will get the rest. (i.e. you want £50 for a bag. The highest bidder bids £80, you get £50 and the Martlets gets the £30).

Have a look at all the other bags that are on offer (each one will be numbered) and make ‘secret bids’ – this means you write how much you are willing to pay on a slip of paper and post this into the sealed ballot box.

At the end of the evening. The winning bidders will be announced and proudly take home their new bags. Any unsold bags can be taken back home with you or donated to the Hospice.

The first ‘Handbags for Hospices’ event will be held Thursday 1st March at 8pm at The Temptation Cafe in central Brighton. Please email me for your invite.

I’m really excited about this, so if you’re a fellow ‘bag lady’ come along and give an Old Bag a New Home.

Until then, one final piece of bag advice – if your bag has a black lining – get a torch.

Here is a sneak preview of a NEW and UNIQUE offering to those of you that are interested in how to identify, understand and implement your own personal ‘Style DNA’.

Interior designer, Mary Middleton and I are having our dress rehersal this Thursday 26th Jan. After which we will be offering this exciting session to all our clients. I am very proud to have helped create this workshop which is about each of you understanding the primary and secondary Style characteristics that make you unique. We will show you what those Style Characteristics mean and showing you how they translate into clothes and interiors.
