NEW What to wear workshop – Autumn/Winter 2023 Colour & Style Update – Saturday 7 October – 2pm online

Posted on by Toni Carver

Back for Autumn is my ‘what to wear’ workshop where I share tips on navigating the colour and style trends for the coming season.

Whilst my mantra remains the same: just because it‘s in the shops, fashionable or on trend does not mean it will work for YOU and that’s OK!

Instead, I’ve done the hard work for you by searching and sharing what you can expect with tips on how to wear them.

These seasonal updates have been running for years now. Get some inspiration and guidance on updating your wardrobe. A new season is the perfect opportunity to reignite it after all!

THE AUTUMN/WINTER WHAT TO WEAR WORKSHOP

If you’re not familiar with this workshop, it takes place online every year on the first Saturday of October. It’s then repeated six months later for the spring and summer trends on the first Saturday of April. 

Whether you’ve had your colours or style analysed before or not, these workshops are an opportunity to find out what the latest colours and styles are.

WHAT’S INVOLVED?

There’s no travelling and you’ll join from the comfort of your own home! So, book your ticket, grab a brew and a notepad and log into the live event!

I’ll share what’s in the shops and most importantly, what to look for and if the colours and styles will suit you!

It’s not about buy, buy, buy! It’s encouraging you to understand how can you be more sustainable with your choices whilst also bringing what you already have up to date.

This virtual event lasts around 90 minutes. You’ll learn the key colours, styles and trends this autumn and winter with a presentation I’ve prepared. Don’t worry – it’s not death by powerpoint as I’ll also share some of my top picks from the high street too.

To inspire you to check your own wardrobe, I’ll also share items from my wardrobe which tick off the new ‘trends’ you’ll hear about.

WHEN

The Autumn/Winter 2023 event is on Saturday 7 October at 2pm. For reference, the Spring/Summer workshop takes place on the first Saturday of April (6th April 2024). Advance tickets will be available as soon as this event ends!

COSTS

Tickets are £19.50.

This includes a copy of my AW23 shopping list, AW23 wardrobe checklist and summary of the colours and styles. There are all digital guides which will be emailed to you after the event.

Spring 2023 Spotlight trend: denim and how to wear it

Posted on by Toni Carver

If you’ve been shopping, you’ll have noticed new colours and styles for spring and summer. We just need the weather!

Whilst I shared this trend during my live workshop in April, One trend I wanted to spotlight this spring is denim and how to wear it.

Firstly, think beyond jeans! One of the biggest complaints I get from clients is how fed up they are of wearing jeans! This year, denim has been reinvented! Skirts, dresses, jackets, shirts and more. Different styles, cuts, patterns and washes. Try something different – like a denim dress!

In this video, I’m sharing a denim dress which totally ticks the spring 2023 trend:

Watch it here on YouTube. 

Would it surprise you to learn that this was a charity shop find? (Wakefield Hospice, The Ridings Shopping Centre, Wakefield).

It’s totally ‘on trend’ right??

Which proves the point I’m always making. Trends come and go. Be sure to check your wardrobe for something similar to the latest trends (in which case; get it worn!). Charity shops can be a great place to shop!

Here’s three considerations when shopping for denim:

1. Think about your style personality

Naturals like me, can be drawn to the ease and simplicity of denim. But, do think outside the box and try it on for ease of movement. Denim nowadays is more modern and there are different weights of denim fabric too. The dress I’ve highlighted is a much lighter weight fabric and it has pockets! Go for something that works for your style personality. For example, romantics will be drawn to embroidery, lace or jewel embellishment details. The Classics will prefer a plain item so try something like a smart denim jacket. There’s coloured and traditional denim in the shops in abundance too.

2. Think about your colouring

The lighter wash of the denim dress mans it’s perfect for lights and softs. It will work for warms (you’re best ‘warming up’ your denim and neutrals or look for a colour such as a khaki denim jacket which will give you versatility). Cools, clears and deeps will be better suited to a darker wash.

3. Think about your body shape

Denim is a structured fabric and has a tendency to sit off curves. This dress has a waistband sewn in to provide some shape and darts to create shape. Plus the material is a much lighter weight version so it’s got more movement than a traditional, heavier weight denim. This can be a great option for straight body shapes. However, if you are curvier, look for styles that follow your shape (ie. go in at the waist). Some give will be best so make sure you have some elastane and stretch in your denim or a chambray style of fabric. You could even opt for a belted shacket-style with a soft belt.

Staying up to date

As I said, trends come and go. Just because something is fashion or on trend, does not mean it will work for you. Learn what does suit you and you’ll look and feel great!

If you missed my spring/summer update, the guide featured in the video, the E-book and my recorded video masterclass are all available online until 30 September. These show you some of the colours and styles that you can find to help give you some guidance this spring/summer. Visit my shop online here.

The next live group workshop takes place on 7 October for autumn/winter. Reserve your spot here

Summer makeup tips

Posted on by Toni Carver

No one wants to wear a full face of make-up in the heat or by the pool, but a light application can give you that extra confidence boost should you need it.

Even if you don’t normally wear makeup, just a flick of mascara or a slick of colour to the lips can give you that finished look. Especially when worn with your best shades of colour.

I’m often asked about my makeup routine. I tend to switch up my makeup shades and products to reflect the change in weather. During the summer and warmer months I’ll choose a tinted moisturiser rather than a foundation if I’ve got a bit of colour and bronzer rather than a blush.

Here’s my light summer essential make-up routine

This usually takes me less than 10 minutes to apply.

1. After cleansing, apply Rose Day Cream (includes SPF25) to face and neck

2. Apply tinted moisturiser in a shade which matches my skin tone (currently I’m using light-medium shade)

3. Sweep kaleidoscope bronzing powder across forehead, cheeks and chin (or use golden sand highlighter or rio pressed bronzing powder)

4. Apply melon eyeshadow all over eyelid (the highlighter and the bronzing powders can also be used)

5. Sweep navy mascara over lashes to add colour and lengthen (more complimentary than black. Black/brown and brown also available)

6. Use crushed berry 2 in 1 cream on lips (if you’re warmer tend try sunset glow instead)

7. Use blonde brow pencil to define and shape my eyebrows

As you can see – nothing too complicated!

If tinted moisturiser doesn’t give you enough coverage, then stick to a lightweight foundation like the morning light foundation. Most people tend to need a different shade in the summer versus the winter. I move from Porcelain to Oyster. Sometimes I’ll mix the shades together to achieve a better colour match if one looks to light or dark.

All items are available from the colour me beautiful range and available to purchase from the studio or online. Watch this video here on how to search and buy online. Commission is generated for orders made through this link: https://colourmebeautifuldirect.co.uk?aid=C564

If you’d like to try before you buy, you’re always welcome to make an appointment and seek any advice.
