Living full time, working part time.

Is this making you sigh............?
Wishing you had more time for you?

I used to wear drab and baggy clothes, I looked like I had been dug up!!!!!! I never realised it....now it's a completely different story

My journey started back in Nov 2002. I went to a presentation on Image, which turned out to inspire me to become an Image Consultant (I was an Accountant at the time), and, I have been on the most amazing journey ever since. Discovering what colours look fantastic on you, what style of clothes work for your body shape/proportions, and which style reflects who you really are, will enable you to see yourself through new eyes! Just putting the finishing touches to your look will pull everything together, so that even you notice the difference

This fascinating experience is for everyone, my clients span the whole age range, as well as men and women from all walks of life. Learn how to look good on the outside and feel good on the inside, giving you confidence and motivation to do what you have always wanted

When I look back, it's really strange to reflect on my previous career,in Finance, working for a large international company for nearly 20 years, I spent the last 12 years focused on People Development, Coaching and Mentoring, enabling me to use the skills, experience and knowledge gained in that environment, to add another layer with the personal awareness and development training. This is all focused on enabling people to have a new insight about themselves and others, as well as encouraging people to fulfil their potential

In addition to working with individuals, I am an accredited trainer with Public-i, and work with: businesses on maximising your business through your people - see the Public I Web site, and in Education, including CPD - more information here.

People ask, how do you know when you are ready to take the first step? Of course, when you take that step, you will know, how you can enhance every single day, for the rest of your life

When you consider the benefits you will get from having a wardrobe where everything works together, and, you know it looks great on you. Shopping becomes so much easier, you wonder why you wasted so much time in the past, searching for something you liked that suited you, and that fitted!
Every day is a new day, and once you have got dressed for what you want from your day - enjoy every moment of making it happen!

I'm looking forward to your call or e-mail me to find out more

Regards
Diana

Diana, thank you for a lovely colour analysis day. My mum, sister and I all really enjoyed ourselves and found it very relaxing, not in the least bit stressful. It was great that you worked with us so that we all eventually "got it", rather than just telling us what we were. Made it much easier to follow the process ourselves. Your make-up demo was great and my sister is now wearing make-up everyday, which is a first. She looks fabulous, at least 10 years younger! I must admit I got a bit of a shock to discover I was an "autumn" and an even bigger one when I opened my wardrobe and realised that most of it was black and white - neither of which are my colours. However, a clearout was long overdue and its been liberating to get rid of things that no longer fit etc which do nothing for me. I love the leather wallet of my colours - I have taken it shopping with me and its been so easy to shop for my colours rather than just looking at all the rails. Feedback from friends has been very positive and I've had some great compliments saying I look well, and have I done something to my hair (which I haven't). I am happily recommending you to friends and family and will be back for the make-up class and the style day. 2008 is really the year of transformation. Paulene Chalmers 14-1-08

Wonderful Person! Diana is amazing, such an inspiration, always supportive. I decided it was time to really explore my image and Diana provided an excellent service that took me from finding out the colours I could wear to sorting out my wardrobe and then shopping! Oh yes - that was sooo much fun! I have never enjoyed shopping due to my height 6 ft and 36”inside leg long arms and size 9 shoes with of course narrow feet as well – a nightmare to fit. We sailed through shops in London and Guildford and Diana skilfully steered me to perfect fits and choices. Diana had done her homework, she kept me focused and we achieved more in that time than I would have done on my own in 6 months. Diana saved me 100’s of pounds of mistakes I could have made, and helped me design a very new me. Thank you Diana

I used to regard shopping as a chore and had little idea of what colours and styles to look for. As a result, I made choices based largely on habit. Since attending your Colour and Image Day, I know exactly what I am looking for, so shopping is more fun, I don't waste time considering unsuitable garments, and I do go home confident that the clothes I have purchased will look great on me! I wish I had done it years ago.

It was quite a shock to discover that while my wardrobe was full of lovely colours which complimented each other, they did not, on the whole, compliment me! I spent a lot of time staring at my colour samples, then after a few days, everything was out of the wardrobe and drawers and all over the bed. About one third fitted the bill, two thirds was in the cool spectrum. I spent the next few days wearing the "right" colours I already had and then began a bit of shopping. I am now enjoying looking for summer clothes ideas. I feel I have retrained my eyes to pick out the right colours now when I go into a shop. It has been a very interesting experience. Thank you!

You have certainly inspired me so much, although I had my colours, makeup etc done some time ago, it was only recently since coming to your sessions that I really decided to stop messing around and try and make the most of what I have learned and so I am not making so many mistakes now, and think more carefully before I buy.
