I have been commissioned by NIVEA to give an introduction to colour and style in a series of 3 podcasts. They are available to view on the NIVEA website in the 'Beauty Is' series.
Carla Mathis/Body Beautiful - Stylist and Colour training
I searched far and wide for a trainer who I felt had the same approach and values as myself, and who specialised in focussing on the individual. Based in the US, Carla trains all over the world. l am also the UK organiser of Body Beautiful training courses in London. Visit the Body Beautiful website for upcoming courses. If you are interested in learning about colour and style, either as a potential business or just for your own use, I cannot recommend her enough.
London College of Fashion - Short Stylist Courses
LCF offers a couple of short courses a year on styling which are great value.
Brenda Kinsel - Image consultant and author
Brenda is a huge inspiration to me. I found her books on amazon.com when I first started out, and e mailed her for advice as I loved her fun style and her values. She encouraged me to attend the AICI conference, where I have had the privilege of attending her workshops. Her books are practical and informative so great for those who are interested in becoming a personal stylist/shopper or those who want to 'do it themselves' due to budget restrictions. You can buy them here (www.amazon.co.uk).
TFIC - The Federation of Image Consultants

Michelle, 44, Homemaker“I am certain there are a great number of women just like me who have 'lost their identity', through being mums and homemakers who put the other members of their family first. I haven't looked back since Lizzie opened the door to the rest of my life.”
