Greetings!

I hope you're all refreshed from your summer holidays. Summer may be drawing to a close but I've got my fingers crossed we can squeeze in a few extra warm days this month. 

 

In this month's issue there's a great interiors article on how to create your very own  dream wall designer statement.    

 

The branding colour article looks at how getting the colour of your product wrong in other cultures could cost you sales.   

 

My personal colour article looks at whether black really is slimming.  

 

And in the news shows the vividly colourful Notting Hill Carnival.  

 

This month's special offer is from Dreamwall, creators of designer wall panels.   

 

Enjoy!

In Western society, designers, media and retailers often state that black is slimming.

A message from a recent client:  

  

"I knew having Karen help me with my personal brand colours would be an interesting process, but I hadn't realised that it would also be uplifting AND a lot of fun.  I now have a wonderful palette of colours to dress from that make me feel great just to look at them, and I can now choose clothes with certainty that the colour will look 'right' ."

 

Wishing you a great month!
