I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful lady called Joanne Taylor while I was in New Zealand. I have always been really interested in colour, not just from a ‘which colours flatter’ point of view but in the fact I believe we know very little about how powerful colour can be in our everyday lives. Joanne is a colour coach and she teaches you how the colours you wear can affect you and highlights the reasons why you might be attracted to certain colours at different times of your life. Amazingly accurate and astonishingly insightful is how I’d best describe what I experienced. Joanne not only told me why I was drawn to my current wardrobe but also which colours could enhance my life and how. I was so impressed, I may well sign up to train as a colour coach myself in 2009 if time permits as I don’t believe we have anything similar here in the UK at present. In the meantime, if you’re interested in learning more about yourself you can contact Joanne by email at joanne@lightenup.net.nz They are currently 13 hours ahead of GMT so don’t expect an answer straightaway!
