"I love the photos, a little make-up makes so much difference. I saw a lady on Thursday and just a little lipstick made the world of difference. She does not wear make-up and it transformed her. Her friend who was with her could not believe it." AS, Image Consultant, Isle of Man (Aug 08)

"What a great article!  Thank you.  As I read about the coral suit I thought, 'Oh my goodness, I did that too!' – I think it was the same year that I bought a drop-waisted (to the hip) pale peach summer dress (even worse, wouldn’t you say, for a Winter?)" PG, UK (Jun 08)

"Hi Kim, everytime I receive your newsletter I am dumbfounded at the amount of detail you go into...whereever do you find the time????" NC, Ireland (Nov 07)

Sample newsletter

The emails are sent in HTML format. If you are using a work/business email address, you may need to check that your technical chaps will not filter these out before they reach you! The same goes for if you use a free email address; your service provider doesn't exactly have a huge obligation to deliver your emails to you, especially when their systems become overloaded, as seems to happen a lot!

What other readers have to say:

""By the way I've been meaning to tell you how brilliant your newsletters are. The recent one about the puffball / tent dresses made me laugh out loud! Your sense of humour really comes through but the letters are also great advice." Image consultant, UK (Apr 07)

"I have just read your "Stories from the Changing Room" and was pleased to find someone else who would prefer to catalogue-shop to trailing round town. When I was talking to a style consultant locally she said that one needed to see items in the flesh before buying. I strongly disagree with this as the catalogues I use allow customers to return goods, and when I receive my order it gives me the oportunity to try the clothes on in the comfort of my home and to experiment with other items in my wardrobe. I now feel I can catalogue-shop with confidence." Susan, UK (Mar 07)

"I am happy to receive your newsletter when I do. You inspired me to change my look. I am a 35-year-old Indian woman born in the West Indies and I am medium to light in complexion. I used to have light brown hair with platinum streaks in it. For a few years I had variations of this style. I recently went on vacation in NYC and upon reading your letters I was inspired to go much darker. I now have jet/blue-black hair and it has changed my look completely. I feel edgier and spunky - that's my personality.

My natural hair color is darkest brown - that was 18 years ago - but anyway people now think I am Chinese or Latino. I did not expect the reaction I am having with this new hair color. I never needed validation from anyone to feel good about my sense of style. I like dressing to fit my personality - not at all conventional and like to change my look about 3 times a year or so.

Thanks for the inspiration, Ms Bolsover. So keep the letters coming. I really do appreciate all the information that I get from you." Noreen, USA

"I can honestly say, I really enjoy your stuff! I come from the same training background as you and a lot of what is said in this industry gives colour & style analysis a bad name, but you are doing a great job. Well done. I always get a laugh from your stuff as well, because you tell it like it is." Niamh, Ireland (Dec 2005)

"Your emails are so good - lots of helpful hints but with a lot of humour!" SS, Image Consultant, Doha, Qatar

"Just to say thank you for sending these tips, I enjoy reading them. I worked in Colour Analysis for a time but don't any more and it's so nice to keep up with it in this way." CR, Nottingham, UK
