Simplification and downsizing. There’s a new trend happening around colour analysis, and it’s looking promising for the environment! Read about the genesis for my book, COLOUR: the secret to creating a Sustainable Wardrobe.

What to do when you’re sick of the boozy team lunches and the paint-balling terrifies you!

True confession time. Though it’ll hardly come as a surprise…

The art and science of dressing for hospital (let’s not take me too seriously here - lol - but read on regardless for some useful tips!)

Thank you to those who demand we clean up our act. We can no longer expect people to produce fashion for other people at the unrealistic pace we have been become used to.

I’m often asked what I do so I’ve set out some info. I like to call myself a Personal Style Specialist. I could also describe myself as a fashion advisor, image consultant or image professional. But I’m not a stylist. A Personal Style Specialist is different; read on for how…

Conditions for women in the developed world have come a long, long way in the last hundred years, however…

Clothes convey immediate messages in this very visual society we live in

Living Coral; authentic and immersive, connection and intimacy, sociable and spirited…

Gifting personal experiences, instead of simply more stuff, is becoming more highly valued than ever.

Colour makes you quicker and lets you find the good stuff! Train your eye to filter out what you don’t need.

So you think fashion can’t be for you? Think again. The world has reached a tipping point and fashion is for everyone.

When I delve into a woman’s wardrobe I usually see one of two things… either there’s a conglomeration of disparate but potentially exciting items or there’s a sparse, neatly ordered system with few pieces but in co-ordinating colours.

This year I decided it was time for a little rebranding and I’m writing this in preparation of launching my new website, which I’m excited about. So how do I announce that and what does it mean to me? Find out here.

Our Fashion by Foot initiative is a walking tour that showcases micro businesses designing and producing clothing or accessories locally and independently.

The exceptional fashion exhibition, The House of Dior: Seventy Years of Haute Couture, is well worth seeing, particularly for those who ever doubted fashion is art. Following are some notes I took listening to a talk by Katie Somerville, senior curator at NGV (National Gallery of Victoria).

The Design Museum, London – notes for other hardcore colour enthusiasts from Hella Jongerius’s exhibition and research. An object’s colour only becomes tangible through its material. Objects absorb, reflect and resonate colour and are influenced by the colours of surrounding objects.

Confounded by colour? Confused when co-ordinating? Then come along to my Captivating Colour workshop. This fun, informal and education workshop introduces you to how colour can enhance your look and easily coordinate with your wardrobe.

Putting together an outfit is like any other creative process - only you're designing it to fit on your own body. It's highly personal, but how well do you know your own body? Have you analysed its shapes and lines - and do you know how its shapes and lines relate to different styles of clothing? This workshop will teach you how.
