I specialize in creating personalized wardrobe solutions to help you feel more confident. At House of Colour Magnolia you can expect to find a welcoming experience that is custom to you and that will arm you with the tools required to confidently navigate your unique personal style journey.

There are two ways we can work together: 

Seasonal Color Analysis: Discover your perfect colors. I will help you find the shades that make you look more energized, youthful and confident. Unlock a whole new world of colors that bring out your natural beauty, making you look and feel your best. 

Personal Style Analysis: Effortlessly slay every outfit. Uncover the clothing that suits your body architecture, speaks to your personality, and boosts your confidence. I will help you make it a breeze to navigate trends, shapes and cuts that suit YOU. 

Closet clean out services are offered on a case-by-case basis for those who have done color and style services and are looking for help going through their personal wardrobes.

 Are you ready for a fun and personalized experience that says goodbye to fashion dilemmas and hello to a closet filled with outfits that make you feel amazing?  Book an appointment or send me an email if you have questions about what service is right for you.

Services

Seattle's Seasonal Color Analysis and Personal Styling Headquarters

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.

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!

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.

Our closet clean out is focused on identifying and discarding clothing that does not fit your color palette and clothing personality (CP). We will identify gaps in your wardrobe, make recommendations for alterations that would benefit certain articles to be in line with your CP, and help to prioritize new purchases.

These appointments are available in person or virtual and charged at $150/hour, with a 2 hour max per appointment. Travel charges may apply for destinations over 30 minutes from my studio. 

Please note: This is not closet organization service. I HIGHLY recommend that service following our appointment and have excellent home organization partners to recommend to you.  We can also collaborate together to do the closet clean out and orgainzation in one sesssion where sensical.
