How to assess your Body Type  

Julie, our recent competition winner has kindly allowed me to show you how I Assess her Body Type. Her clothes don't seem to be fitting well these days so I'm going to check her shape through with the Body Type Quiz to ensure that she is correctly addressing her current figure! 

I'm sure many of us will associate with the very same problem when you find that your clothes are no longer fitting as well as they once did!  

Take a look at Kettlewell for the Spring season! 

The new arrivals at Kettlewell for Spring/Summer color are just sublime! Not just the colorways but the quality is always superb. You will find over 300 colors in the women's ranges of separates, dresses and accessories.  

There's no doubt that I have more men requesting Color Analysis these days. Inevitably they are a little shy at having their images shown in a women's magazine which is why you only see them now and again. 

But Kettlewell have risen to the rising trend and now offer all the basics for men in a great array of colors.   

Time for a Closet Revamp

• A new season, the perfect time for a Closet Revamp!

• 'Til you know what you've got you don't know what you need!

• If you can't see it you can't wear it! 

• A few items that fit and flatter are worth more than a full closet with nothing to wear!

Take just 3 steps with me!! 

Online Color Analysis - the SUMMER Season! 

I sometimes find that the SUMMER color palette is difficult to explain! 

The colors are pretty, somewhat gentle but they are also soft, subtle and quite sensuous, certainly not pale and wishy washy!! In fact some of the shades are quite brilliant, take a look at my Mother of the Bride dress! 

Many people consider the palette to be dusky and grayed down which makes the colors boring and unadventurous but, actually, if this palette flatters your natural coloring then it's anything but as you see with the gorgeous Malene below! 

Although she had never had her color family confirmed, her color choices all fitted so naturally into this gently pretty palette. She was also grateful not to be limited to only part of the palette, as in Soft, Cool or Light Summer. It takes all of those individual elements to work together to make this coloring come to life! 

Malene says: "Thank you so much for your elaborate analysis. This experience has been amazing, and I appreciate every wording and explanation you give!

I hoped you would tell me, I’m a Summer as I am naturally drawn to those pinks and blues in cool shades. I have simply been so confused about my season after other analysts called me an obvious spring because of my green eyes and in their opinion neutral skin tone. However, I have always seen myself as cool-toned in both hair and skin, so your analysis reassures me that I was actually right all along! And I’m glad I purchased your service to give me confidence in this.

I am also happy to finally understand why I have unable to identify myself as only one of the Summer sub seasons, since I am both cool, light and slightly muted. It makes total sense that I am a true summer embracing all three characteristics!" Malene, Denmark
