Glorious summer is still here but winter looms on the horizon. The worst thing about winter in NZ is not so much the cold, it's the deathly march of people dressed head to toe in black. :(

Please, please try to make the world a more colourful, joyful place by not dressing this autumn and winter as though you are going to a funeral. There is absolutely no reason to dress head to toe in black! Many people are depressed enough. One eye sees and the other feels – so do you part and help people feel great in the months ahead.

If you need more courage to wear colour contact me for a colour consultation – I would love to help!

Black is very rarely chic - more often it is dull, boring and depressing. It is also incredibly aging and tiring.

Black is the colour of:
Mourning
The vultures that circle cemeteries
Black crows announcing bad things to come
The grim reaper
Depression
Conservatism
No colour at all



In New Zealand June 01 is officially the beginning of winter. Join me in the Colour Girl challenge and ban black from your wardrobe this season. Everyone is depressed, or repressed (depending on your world view), enough as it is. We'll be encouraging everyone to mark the first day of winter symbolically by colouring their hair a glorious colour. This can be permanent or temp - it's up to you

Do yourself and everyone else a favour and stay well away from black - NOW! I dare you!

Colour gives life! It makes people feel joyful, sexy, motivated and hot to trot!

I just received this lovely feedback from a recent client of my new service The Colour Girl. It was so exciting to see how wonderful she looked in vibrant colours. So much better than than the funeral black garb everyone thinks is chic. :

“I had a lovely time with you yesterday evening. I was delighted with the colour consultation and it was a lot of fun. I’m very excited about starting to wear more vibrant colours! I feel more confident about broadening my range of colours now. You came across as knowledgeable, enthusiastic and authentic with the Colour Girl service, and of course you looked the part.”

Just read this in a book I have just finished - sums up the deathly overtones of Black perfectly:


“Godiva stood before them all, wearing a dull black dress that she only ever wore at funerals. With no jewellery and with her long, newly graying plait hanging down one shoulder, she resemembled an aging maiden. The effect was worse than a funeral; she seemed to be dying on her feet before their eyes.”

Extract from Lady Godiva, Nerys Jones
