When I was 16, I used to wonder. Why is it that some people stand out in a crowd? What makes them appealing? What makes them captivating and able to hold attention? Is it something they are born with? The answer to these questions eluded me for many many years but I always pondered.
I was born in Warsaw, Poland, a city with many fashionable women (and men). I wasn’t one to wear makeup in my younger years. In fact, I didn’t really pay attention to style. I used to think..”that’s for people in magazines and billboards”.
I did love to observe though, and my favorite pastime was to sit in a coffee shop with a good book on a busy street. Occasionally, I would take a glance at passersby and ever so often my eyes would be drawn to people who stood out in the crowd, people who looked different.
As I grew into a young lady, my tastes in style matured. I realized that many things make a person more captivating, from expressiveness, charm, charisma, etc. But the starting point to me was to have confidence, confidence in oneself.
I didn’t grow up wealthy, so I had to come up with ways to better my personal appearance in a “cost friendly” way. After all most of my money went towards my university degree (a master’s in International Relationships).
This is when it struck me!?
You don’t need 100 pairs of outfits and shoes to look good. You don’t need 50 shades of makeup or a wardrobe full of accessories to stand out. All you need to know is what colors enliven and accentuate our features. This is what led me down the path of the art and science of color analysis which has interested me for the past 13 years.

Fashion is Fleeting but Style is Timeless
Ever since, this has ignited a flame in me to help men and women or all ages and cultures to discover their personal style through color.
The seasonal school of color analysis that I subscribe to has afforded me so much versatility in the way I approach the subject.
In 2022, I got married and moved from Warsaw to be with my husband and we live happily together in Australia (finally that degree in “International Relationships” came in handy. 😉
