What happens when you bring color analysis to a co What happens when you bring color analysis to a conference full of amazing women?A whole lot of fun, color, and some pretty priceless reactions!I had SO much fun bringing color analysis to the LinkedIn booth at the Women in Product Conference via The Computer History Museum in Mountain View!One of my favorite things about doing these events is watching someone’s face light up when they discover what the right colors can do.It’s always such an amazing and transformational moment of discovery!And that’s what I love most about color analysis as a corporate event activation.It’s interactive, personal, and guests walk away with something they can actually use long after the event is over!A HUGE thank you to the LinkedIn team for having us!It was such a treat connecting with so many incredible women in product doing amazing things!Planning a corporate event, conference, or employee appreciation day?Let’s bring a little color magic to your next event!

Kinda chic to know your colors before you plan you Kinda chic to know your colors before you plan your wedding.When I did Tiffany’s color analysis, she didn’t just learn her “season.”She learned her undertone, value and intensity and whic palette best harmonizes with her natural beauty —and she took that information with her.Then she used her color palette to help guide her wedding choices.And THIS is one of my favorite things about color analysis.Your colors aren’t meant to live in a pretty little swatch wallet tucked away in your purse.They’re meant to make decisions easier.
What do I wear?
What color should I choose?
Which lipstick actually works?
What metals look best on me?
Does this color make me feel amazing—or just… fine?
What is my WOW color.Once you know your colors, you have a guide.And whether you’re planning a wedding, building a wardrobe, getting dressed for work, or simply wanting to feel more confident in what you wear, that guide can change the way you shop and get dressed.I have 3 private Color Analysis appointments available for my next Color Day in my Contra Costa, East Bay home studio this Friday, Sept 25:✨ 10:00 AM
✨ 11:30 AM
✨ 1:00 PMWe’ll find your best colors through draping, talk undertones and metallics, match your foundation, go over makeup recommendations, and you’ll leave knowing exactly what colors look best on you + everything you need to actually USE your colors.If you’ve been curious about your colors, DM me COLOR and I’ll send you the details. 💕#ColorAnalysis

Do you have a closet full of clothes, but somehow Do you have a closet full of clothes, but somehow keep wearing the same five things?  Your closet may not be the problem—it might be the colors…I’ve spent the last couple of weeks doing three color events along side personal shopping and I’m reminded every time how much easier getting dressed becomes when you actually know the colors that make you look and feel your best.One client is a mother of the groom, and she’s now using her personal color palette to shop for the dresses and clothes she’ll wear for all of the wedding festivities. Instead of guessing, she knows what she’s looking for.I’m opening up a few private 1:1 Color Analysis appointments in my Concord studio.We’ll find your best colors through draping, talk hair color, match foundation, blush and lipstick, and you’ll leave with your color wallet, personal report and everything you need to actually USE your colors when you get dressed and shop.I’m grouping my appointments into upcoming Color Days, with just 3 private sessions available each day.Want one of the spots?DM me COLOR and I’ll send you the details. 💕  #coloranalysis #corporateactivation #sfbayarea
Being petite shouldn’t mean having to dress louder Being petite shouldn’t mean having to dress louder, wear higher heels, or work harder just to be perceived as the woman in charge.But for many accomplished petite women, that’s exactly what happens.You’ve built the career.
You’ve earned the title.
You’re leading the meetings, making the decisions, traveling, speaking, building, advising.Your wardrobe should reflect that without requiring a closet full of clothes or making you feel like you’re playing a part.The answer isn’t to compensate for being petite.
It’s to calibrate.The right proportions.
The right amount of structure.
The right styles for your frame.
The right colors for you — not just defaulting to black or “power suits.”And pieces that don’t simply fit, but make you feel “on”, confident, completely yourself, and ready to be seen.Because a great petite wardrobe isn’t just about making clothes fit your body.It’s about creating a wardrobe that gives you presence without asking you to give up the colors, shapes, personality, and style that make you feel most like you.Because the goal isn’t to look taller.It’s to make sure the way you’re seen matches the woman you already are:Capable. Established. Intentional. Powerful.And this fall, your wardrobe should be working just as hard as you are.If yours isn’t, reply FALL and I’ll show you where to start.#TheIconicMethod #PetiteStyle #ExecutivePresence
