WELCOME

Hi, I'm Katie and I'm so glad you're here! I started this business to bring FUN and JOY back to my work life, and am so grateful to be able to share these transformative services with others. I spent two decades in the corporate world - working in the Ad Agency, Retail, and Leadership Development + Coaching industries. I love utilizing my diverse background to empower and inspire my clients with practical tools that help them simplify their life and feel more confident every day. 

The way that both Color and Style has impacted my life is immeasurable. My journey started back in 2015 - and my first color analysis left me feeling wildly more confident than I had the day before. Just check out the leopard print dress for proof.

Knowing my colors was SO incredible - it helped me simplify and coordinate my closet and made shopping way more efficient. Walking out the door each day KNOWING I was in colors that gave me that natural, effortless glow was a huge boost of confidence.

But a few years into my color journey, I felt something was missing. I had those key pieces in my closet that were in my palette, but I never reached for them because something didn't feel quite right.

What I know now is that the missing puzzle piece was knowing my STYLE - the cuts, silhouettes, and details in my clothes that reflect my personality and honor my body.

My Services

I'm passionate about helping you radiate confidence and joy through your wardrobe! Serving Stowe, Vermont and the surrounding area through personalized color and style services.

Color Analysis

Get dressed every day with purpose, ease, and JOY! A color analysis provides you with life-changing information. Using precision-dyed drapes and my extensive training I will prove to you the value of knowing your season; a palette of colors customized to your unique undertones. We apply this information to women, men, and children of all races, ethnicities, and genders. Your season will never change so this is information you can carry with you for a lifetime.

There are three parts to every color session. First is our world-class, scientific draping process that we have refined for excellence and accuracy over the past four decades. Next, I will provide advice on jewellery, watches, glasses, and when applicable: hair and makeup based on your season. Our makeup products will take the guesswork out of choosing colors that highlight your natural beauty. Finally, we'll dive further into your season and choose the best colors for your casual and professional life, discovering your list of WOW colors.

You will leave your appointment with a fan of your seasonal swatches and a brochure full of tips and reminders specific to you that you can reference later to make shopping and wearing your new colors a confident experience!

You should arrive at your analysis free of spray tans and makeup for optimal accuracy. No pictures will be taken without permission, nor are they shared on social media without your consent.

Style Analysis

Discover the science behind personal style by unlocking the power of you. During a style analysis, I'll teach you how to combine who you are with how you dress so you can step out into the world looking fabulous as your authentic self. We consider your proportions, personality, and preferences to give you a style framework- we call this a “Clothing Personality. You will confidently know which fabrics, prints, patterns, and accessories, necklines, details, and silhouettes flatter your unique body architecture best. Because we factor your personality into this framework, our style analysis goes a step further to help you identify how you feel in different styles and pieces so your clothing not only looks great but also represents who you are.

For this appointment, you’ll bring 5–10 items from your closet that you LOVE and 5–10 that make you wonder why you don’t feel good when putting them on. We'll use this information to help you discover why you gravitated toward and loved certain pieces and what it is about the others that weren't working for you, so you save time and money in the future! At House of Colour, we believe clothing needs to be adjusted to you, not the other way around. It is our goal to make sure you feel your most confident as who you are and how you look right now.

You’ll leave with a book with detailed information specific to you that we'll fill out during the appointment and a Clothing Personality card with keywords that will help guide you when shopping. If you've already had a color analysis, this card can be inserted into your fan which will make shopping easy and efficient!

Wardrobe Edit

This appointment is designed to take the knowledge you gained in your color and/or style appointment and apply it to your own specific wardrobe. I will help you filter through the pieces you don't wear so you can donate them and provide joy to someone else and keep your own closet free from clutter so you can better mix and match pieces in your wardrobe to create more looks with fewer items.

Personal Shopping

My House of Colour personal shopping service will make finding new clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories hassle-free. As your personal stylist, I will be offering you my time, via this service, as your very own personal shopper. You can personalize how I use this time so that it is completely tailored to your objectives and desires.

Whether you are looking for the perfect outfit for a special event, refreshing your closet for the latest season, or just want expert guidance on how to continue looking your best, my personal shopping services are shaped around you and your goals.

There are a number of ways for you to personalize our House of Colour personal shopping service, for example:

  • We can shop together in person
  • I can conduct online personal shopping for you, buying items that I know work with your unique features, characteristics and personality
  • I can undertake online personal shopping for you, saving items I believe would illuminate you and you can browse and buy at your own pace later.
  • Let me help you get to clothes you love faster, easier and with my expert guidance, so you can wear what fits, what flatters, and what feels like you with ease.

Advanced Color Analysis

Advanced Color Analysis is an opportunity revisit your season, refresh your seasonal color knowledge and build upon the foundation of your personal color analysis. It’s something you may want to explore at least three to six months after your initial House of Colour color analysis (I am happy to discuss ideal timing with you).

During this appointment, we'll dive deeper into the specifics of your season and show you color combos, and more makeup options, and provide guidance specific to you.

You will leave your appointment with an Advanced Color guide in your season where we will log all color and make up combinations (we rate them too!) for future reference. You may pair this guide with your fan and color brochure you received at your first color analysis to further customize your look.

Sessions take approximately two to three hours and we will review 40+ color combinations in your season.

Katie, I cannot thank you enough!! First off you are SO easy to be around and I instantly felt safe and ready for fun when I walked into your office. 

I am now color obsessed! Sunday I went shopping - just pulling colors from my swatches and having fun! I ended up with the green sweater and blazer. At the next store, I swear the store was stocked with only my colors. Or maybe it was the first time I went shopping and my eyes were open to new colors and possibilities! I’m just so excited and I feel a new sense of confidence in myself.

Oh the make up! Obsessed. I haven’t put on make up for work in a long time but now I’m so inspired with how easy it is and how much it compliments me!  All this to say - THANK YOU!!! I am definitely interested in a style consultation in the near future.

You're amazing at your craft: your knowledge of the science and theory of color, your organized technique and seamless flow, and your passion shines through! I really do appreciate you creating such a fun and comfortable atmosphere for both of us. We couldn't have been more giddy and thrilled to tell my dad everything we learned when we got home!  I'm excited to dive into all the extra resources as well!! Can't wait to see the rest of our pics and to pick my mom's new hair color from the Pinterest board. Again -- thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank YOU for sharing so many interesting insights about color! I thoroughly enjoyed my session. It was an absolute pleasure, and I will happily recommend your services to others.

I appreciate your suggestions about how to edit my wardrobe. It will take me some time as I don't have many Autumn pieces, but that's okay; I'll get there. I have gone through my makeup, and that was an accomplishment. The color analysis was such an eye-opening experience! I'm delighted with the results and happy I did it.

The pictures and additional resources you sent me will be invaluable - thank you! I will definitely stay in touch! I'm excited to make better shopping choices.

Thank you for a wonderful and enlightening morning. My mom and I were talking about our colors all week! I am loving my color palette and find I am more drawn to dress in my colors now rather than defaulting to black. It's a great confidence boost 😊 I also absolutely LOVE the powder foundation. I haven't used liquid foundation since I started. And I just placed an order for some more makeup. Thank you again!

I feel really good about my summer palette!  After looking at my wardrobe, I was excited to find that I already have a lot of options in my season, and I found some tops in my wow colors.  I have been trying to accessorize with silver jewelry that makes more of a statement.  Thank you!

As soon as I returned home from Vermont I went through all my winter clothes & did some editing.  So much fun! Then while doing some shopping I found some great tops on sale in my color palette.  It was easy to let go of the clothes because I realized I hadn’t worn most of them - maybe instinctively I knew they didn’t look good on me.  Funny how that works.  I love the blush & lip gloss.  And love the tips on how to use accessories to add my color palette to clothes that aren’t necessarily my best colors but that I like.  I’ve been working on creating new outfits with that in mind. So glad that I spent the time to do this with you.  I hope I can encourage others to do the same.
