More Colour, Style & Image With Lesley Wrankmore

Do you ever consider fabric when buying clothes? It's often a low priority but can be so important.
Let me give you an example. Have you ever tried to wrap a curvy vase in stiff, thick wrapping paper? Not a good result is it? The paper doesn't mould to the shape of the vase and ends up looking quite frankly, a mess! Not to mention twice as big as it really is and it ends up covered with sticky tape too.
A curvy figure wearing stiff fabric will find that the garment sits off... her curves adding pounds to her frame, resulting in her looking two sizes bigger than she really is. But if she wears fabric with a bit of drape or stretch, it follows the body line and gives her a glorious shape.
This is the sort of thing that we look at in a style consultations and I give you recommendations as to the best fabric for your own figure and shape.
It really is an eye opener! So next time you go shopping - before you make that impulse purchase, save yourself a fortune in wardrobe mistakes and book a style consultation either in my Style Studio or if you live further afield or are time-poor, then why not consider an e-consult - a 40 minute style essentials video consultation to get you going.

Another little gem from @velvet.and.rose.uk this time a gorgeous mustard handbag with a stunning @kate_whyley silk wrap.... the perfect way to add a hit of colour and brighten up a plain bag! I have a gorgeous black and fuchsia scarf tied onto my @ospreylondon #tote to add a splash of colour - but I really need a fuchsia and cobalt one from Kate when I see the perfect one!!! #lovecolour #mustard #colourstyleimage #personalstylisthampshire #getyourcoloursdone #colourmagic #colourconfidence #handbag #petersfield #colouranalysis #colourmebeautiful #40pluswomen #sassystylist

Let’s talk suits!!! Yes suits are everywhere... for men, women and fun!!!
For many years suits and trouser suits have been wardrobe staples - but in recent years they have been pushed to the back of the wardrobe and replaced with more sacral options for anyone that doesn’t have the most formal of jobs.
But that’s all changing - BIG TIME
... YES suits are back and colourful! For guys, bold colourful details such as linings, full suit print and bold patterns, and for gals, we have the boldest of colours!!! Yes a full colour suit - whether it’s fuchsia, mustard, emerald green, cobalt or dusty pink - there is a full colour suit for everyone!!!
What do you think... are you brave enough to go full colour???

So often people look at videos like this and will say which one are you left, right or middle??
Actually I say let’s be a combination of them all - sometimes middle, left or right - and sometimes the girl stood in the doorway not dancing at all.
It’s absolutely ok to be different, style differently and be true to who you are every day of the week.
... It’s ok to be eclectic - and it ok to be you - beautiful you!!!
If you struggle with confidence, or perhaps you run you own business and just aren’t sure about how to position yourself against your competition..... well it’s time to be YOU!
Let’s chat about how to be YOU - that’s the first job you ever had, but most of us will never give a thought to HOW TO BE YOU - what a great name for a programme of coaching....... now there’s a thought??? Who is interested in my confidence skills group??? PM me for info.

What a fabulous consultation! �� Chilled, fun, professional in a such a lovely and inviting studio. Feel like I can shop for a much wider range of colours now without risk �

Also the first make up I've had done without feeling like I look like a clown at the end �

Thank you Lesley! ����

Thanks for all your help and support Lesley. I can't believe how much I have learnt in the last 2 weeks and your tips and advice have been invaluable!

Thank you so much for providing my daughter and her friends a 13th birthday they will remember for a while! Providing them with the knowledge of how to apply make up and which colours they should wear. You were amazing!

Thank you Lesley for your brilliant advice and making me feel so at ease and comfortable. I've wanted my colours done for a long time but losing a lot of weight pushed me to get it organised and I couldn't have made a better choice. I was amazed at the colours I could wear, so I decide to follow it up with a style session. That really made a huge difference, I feel so much more confident, shopping is easier (always using my colours) and its far more enjoyable. Thank you again and hope to see you again soon X

Lesley clearly has a totally natural eye for colour and style. It oozes out of her in every way. I loved my one on one private consultation in both make up and colours and highly recommend this to anyone! I do not go shopping without my colour palette, and have embraced the changes that Lesley suggested for me.

Go and see Lesley. Hear it from an expert in her field. No one else comes close.

It was great to catch up with Lesley and chose make up without the hassle of the make up counter in-store on the high street with perfectly painted ladies that don’t understand or have the knowledge of what I want or need! Thanks Lesley your are 5�

I went to see Lesley way back in 2013 and I still use her advice every day. I was very nervous about going and didn't really know what to expect but she put me at my ease straight away and took the time to find out about me and my lifestyle. I had such a lovely day and came away feeling well and truly pampered. If you get the chance please do go and see her, you won't regret it.

I was very unsure about having a colour consultation, it isn't the kind of thing I would normally do but having spent the last 8 years as a stay at home mum I have really got into a rut with my image and decided to bite the bullet and go for it, I am so glad I did. This is the best thing I have done for myself in a long time! I have come away with a new confidence in choosing clothes and make up, this is something that everyone should know!



I was also very nervous about going, Im the kind of person that gets intimadated at the make up counters in department stores, but Lesley was absolutely lovely, so welcoming and friendly, (as soon as I she opened the door I felt confident that I had come to the right person as she looked fab!) She really put me at ease straight away. It really was a fantastic experience and I will be recommending it to everyone I know!

I have had my colours done by Lesley at CMB Solent and I can honestly say she is truly amazing at what she does, I was very nervous about having it done and kept putting it off, but I wish I hadn't! I left feeling revitalised and more confident than ever before and I carry my colours with me always, clothes shopping has become fun not a chore and I can't wait for my style and personal shopping experience with her!

I had the most fabulous time; not least because Lesley is charming and genuinely interested in building your confidence. The consultations were very thorough & I learned a lot. I can highly recommend Lesley’s services.

I had the most amazing to time having a colour and make up day with Lesley I’m am still in awe of what she does x x x

I had such an amazing time with Lesley!! I came with a suitcase of clothes I thought were all the wrong choices, and left with the same suitcase of clothes but the confidence to create looks with every item that would suit me. She is incredible in identifying the exact right colour for you - I never noticed how blue my eyes were until she held the right colour fabric next to my face!! Lesley helped me work through my make up bag as well and made suggestions to help bring out my best features - including my cheekbones I'd never noticed before!! I left the consult feeling more confident with my style, colour and make up than I have ever felt before in my life. Can't thank her enough for all has done and new found bounce I have in my step ☺️

I had a full image consultation with Lesley last week and it was such a fun and informative session! Lesley is amazing at explaining colours and reasons to you, and helping you to understand how to wear colours and clothing styles. Since the session it’s really made me look at my wardrobe differently and the colours and styles I wear! I just wish I’d done this sooner!!

I had a 1:1 with Lesley today in her studio and she showed me some colours which I had not considered wearing either in clothing or makeup. Lesley is knowledgable and lovely, she makes you feel special when she talks you through her colour me beautiful range and understands your skin tone.

I love my look we practiced and I am looking forward to the makeup workshop on 8th January where I can learn more. Highly recommend Lesley for that personal touch.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said ‘I’d love to be Gok’d’ but this was better. Lesley made me feel so comfortable and at ease; I felt as if I’d known her forever within a few minutes. Thank you, Lesley for your patience and invaluable advice and guidance.

Having had my colours done 30-35 years ago when CMB was in its infancy, it was interesting to have them reviewed by Lesley who I met at my Networking group.



Nomenclature has changed slightly but essentially most of my colours still work. A lovely � apple green was missing but that was it.



To my joy, they have resurrected the strawberry and coral I loved so much in the lipstick. Birthday come early for me. ���

Lesley listens to your concerns and is calm and professional in her home studio.



We talked make up too and she showed me a few tricks and tips that works beautifully for my age.



The essential tip I took away was to always wear contrasting colours which I did today and had numerous comments about the colour combination.�



Thank you Lesley. Thoroughly recommend.

Had colour consultation a couple of years ago loved the experience Lesley is so professional and I have recommended to all my customers.
