Testimonials
"Hi Ceeann - Wow!! What a fantastic day – I am still buzzing and have been dreaming about clothes! Thanks so much (especially for all those fantastic bargain finds!). I cannot thank you enough as the transformation has been directed by you and I definitely feel after going through the entire process that the shopping is such an integral part of it. I would certainly not have the wardrobe I have today if I had gone shopping by myself and I am so excited to have clothes (and shoes!!) that I am excited to wear, fit me, and I feel great in. I really do feel like a different person! Many thanks for what has been a wonderful, life-changing journey!" Vanessa - Hamilton - October 2011
"Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping trip, I learnt so much and now think I can pull together a few looks based on those handy ideas. I have just been through my entire wardrobe mixing and matching with what there was..... With the new pants we got my legs look long and slim!!!! How exciting! All in all I had a great experience, and have to say the SHOES are AMAZING - LOOOOVE them!!! Hubby loved the outfits. Everyone is happy. Thank you so much again, you are a treasure and fabulous at this - imagine making a short tubby girl feel fabulous!" Karen - Hamilton August 2011
"Ceeann I want to thank you so much for assisting me with my Personal Colour Solutions and have to admit I was rather skeptical at first, but now have to admit I was wrong. This is something that all females should take the time and indulge in as it sure gives you confidence in selecting clothes that suit rather than the old saying "yep that will do". My colour cards are always in my bag now and with my daughter's wedding coming up, you can rest assured I will be taking a little time longer in choosing what I will be wearing". Kaye Griggs Palmerston North - June 2011
“Thankyou for your time a few weeks ago when I came and got my colours and style shape done. They have been invaluable, certainly helps when you go shopping now.” Diane Cartwright - Auckland 2011
"I have had two one on one sessions and attended one workshop with Ceeann. The two one on one sessions were to have my colours and figure analysis done. Before I had these sessions I had heaps of clothes and nothing to wear and my wardrobe consisted of mainly brown, black and creams. I am a winter so now my wardrobe contains lots of clear bright colours. It is so much easier shopping since having my colours done as I now know exactly what suits me and best of all everything goes. Its interesting 3 of my closest friends have all had their colours done as well – when we are all together we always get lots of compliments about how good we look in our colours. For me since having my colours done my husband tells me I look more youthful and fresher- My daughter and daughter in law have also had their colours done with Ceeann. The sessions with Ceeann are fun and professional – you just have complete confidence that she knows exactly what she is doing. And having your colours done also means you know exactly what makeup to wear ( I have saved heaps in lipsticks) and what colours to get put in your hair. I would thoroughly recommend any of the sessions Ceeann has to offer she is very professional and knows her business really well..." Margaret Donaldson - Hamilton - June 2011
"I attended Ceeann's Style Personality Workshop with a friend recently. I did not know what to expect at all, and was pleasantly surprised to come away having my Style Personality accurately described. I am now able to look at garments when shopping and identify what and why I like pieces and then quickly (being the operative word here) be able to decide whether it is a garment I love and would wear. Then, and only then would I buy it. This is a complete turn around for me as am known by my friends to be a very indecisive shopper! Having just returned form a holiday with a friend of 20 + years, she was very impressed by my newly acquired shopping skills! " Dorothy - Hamilton June 2011
"Great shopping spree Ceeann!! Never thought I'd ever look at some of the clothes on the hangers but a real WOW factor once you showed me what suited me and how to wear it!!! I look forward to getting dressed in the morning and love feeling not only like a yummy mummy but a funky one too!! You've made such a positive difference in my life - THANKS HEAPS!!!!!" Nora Dente - Hamilton - April 2011
"I recently had a consultion with Ceeann which I really enjoyed. Ceeann made my feel very comfortable and I came a way feeling very confidant about purchasing new clothes, plus confident that you can look good at any age!" Rosaline Walker - Te Kuiti - Mar 2011
"Thank you for showing me the way and funny how everyone comments on how nice I look now!!!" B Snowsill - Nov 2010
"The clothes are great, have been getting lovely comments so that makes me feel wonderful, thank you." Shelley Warren - Nov 2010
"Since my consultation with Ceeann, I have become aware of what is more suitable for me both with colours and style". - Margaret Jenkins 2010
"Wow you're right about people making comments! I have been commented on already a handful of times from the choices of clothes I have bought and my hair done last night is perfect! Thanks so much, you've made a real difference in my life!" Ainslee Kirk - Hamilton 2010
"I have been wearing some of the colours that you recommended and my husband said that you know what you are talking about, because that colour really suits me and I look nice!!!!" Paula - Hamilton - August 2010
"The shop was great, its fabulous to finally have clothes that look good and feel great and are not black!! I wore one of the outfits last night and got lots of comments, so well done". Andrea - Cambridge - July 2010
"Hi Ceeann. What a great day! I got sooooo much out of my consultation and look forward to putting it into practice, thank you very much!" Lisa Klatt - Te Kauwhata - May 2010
"Ceeann, I really enjoyed the session last week and have already disposed of a couple of garments that in theory i liked , but ultimately never wore.. now i understand why! I am also looking at other people and assessing them too, noticing what they are doing well, or not (they say a little knowledge is dangerous!). I am also more aware of colours and when I go to the hair dressers next week I now know what colour range to opt for. So, I certainly think the $'s spent are worth it and in the long term save because you're not buying things you actually don't end up wearing or enjoy wearing because you just don't feel so good in it. I am looking forward to doing some shopping!
Thanks, and if I know of anyone wanting a service similar to yours I will highly recommend you."
Annemarie - Cambridge - March 2010
"Well I have done most of my wardrobe and have a bag full of stuff I am giving away that I now understand 'why' never suited me and why I never wore!! It was lovely to have "permission" to give it away because it was never going to work - ha ha! I also have some items to alter, mainly the lengths. I went shopping yesterday and felt much more informed about what would suit me..." Kerry - Hamilton - April 2010
"Thanks Ceeann! I got dressed this morning with a new eye and a new combination of ‘old’ clothes. It’s very refreshing. I’m very much looking forward to the colours session so I can start shopping..." Joanne Ostler - Hamilton - April 2010
"Thank you very much for your help with dress style, colour & make up. I have the style & colur books handy to pickup and read at home whenever I stop for a coffee etc and discover new things all the time. It has certainly made me think more of my presentation than I ever did before and it was rather scarey just how much (and how many) clothes due to the amount of wear left (but not really good enough to give away) which have been religated to farm wear!
Your enthusisam and professionalism is great and made the changes that I need to do just that much easier. Again many thanks for your help". Vikki Madgwick - June 2010
"I am really enjoying my colours especially the browns and greens. It has opened a whole new world for me, I no longer head straight for the black items in the shop." Cherie Crowther - Matamata - March 2010
"Thanks Ceeann, today was wonderfully productive and I really appreciate your help, energy and expertise. I’m thrilled with how much came together in the few hours that we had together". Jan - Hamilton May 2010
"About yesterday, I thoroughly enjoyed the process and I am sure the colour consult and makeup application will provide me with years of fun, enjoyment and personal reward. I am totally satisfied with my colours and look forward to incorporating them into my clothing and makeup choices. Thank you once again, you are a lovely lady!". Suzanne - Hamilton April 2009
"Hi Ceeann, having a great time buying clothes in my colour!!! and my wardrobe is actually working well!!
Kay Donaldson - Hamilton October 2009
“After prioritising my children’s needs for a number of years, it has been really nice to ‘give myself permission’ to focus on my own appearance for a change and improve my fashion sense and style with Ceeann’s help. Most importantly for me, it has been fun because I didn’t need more of the serious side of life! My contact with Ceeann has helped to replenish my wardrobe and restore my confidence in clothes shopping, and now I’m feeling really great when an outfit comes together. Many thanks. Jan” Jan - Hamilton - Dec 2009
"Hi Ceeann, many many thanks for yesterday (shopping). Feel much more confident". Lyn - Morrinsville June 09
"Firstly what a neat couple of days - both the colour consultation and style workshop. I both got so much out of the time we spent with you Ceeann. Since I've been home Ceeann I've already been to the hairdressers and had my hair altered. The colour is great and actually makes my eyes appear to stand out more. I have transfered info from our portfolio to our shopping booklets, very helpful information! Once again Ceeann thankyou very much for your time as I now shop with confidence..." Karen - Masterton Aug 09
"Thanks for the workshops and colours... I really enjoyed it and found it very worthwhile.... I really appreciate the little pieces of personal advice too!!!!! Thanks again...." Kelly - Masterton Sept 09
“Being an acne sufferer I have spent hundreds of dollars on medicines and beauty products that have only seemed to further irritate and inflame my skin. Working in a professional industry I felt the need to cover my imperfections with products that I now realise actually made the problem worse; the more acne I had the more makeup I would put on, it was a vicious cycle! I was then introduced to Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup by Ceeann, and since using the products my skin imperfections have cleared completely. I am constantly getting comments on how good my skin is looking and people asking how I have achieved the results I have, all I can put it down to is the change to Jane Iredale. My acne has cleared up! I love the product not only for this reason, but because it gives brilliant coverage and looks completely natural, I no longer have that cakey look when I wear makeup and I am gradually using less and less product as I no longer need so much coverage. I would never use any other makeup and would happily recommend this product to anybody suffering from any skin imperfection, it is extremely gentle and I no longer feel guilty for putting make up on in the morning.” Haylee Wahanui - Cambridge - July 2009
"I wanted to thank you again for the consultations and the shopping day. I also thought that I would wait awhile before writing a few words about the experience, as I wanted to see the difference this all made to me going forward. And what a difference! I no longer aimlessly shop. I am focused and not easily distracted by the beautiful clothes, discounts and persuasive sales talk. If I am after a jacket, then I will wait till I find the right jacket, instead of buying that 'cool shirt that you can wear over things', but isn't actually a jacket and doesn't have enough shape! For me, this focus is great. It gives me purpose and the power to make good decisions. My shopping confidence has returned as I know exactly what looks great on me, and what I currently do or do not need. Brilliant! And I am so grateful for the jeans! Buying jeans was a complete lesson in itself! Thanks again,..." A Dean - Hamilton Nov 08
"You have been fantastic and I am really enjoying learning from you, the manuals and information are wonderful. I can't tell you what a difference you have made to my confidence and desire to imporve my image and presentation....". Catherine - Hamilton 08
"Thank you very much for an enjoyable day Ceeann. The Style Workshop was very inspiring and informative and I look forward with confidence not to make mistakes in the future. Your expertise and professionalism in portraying the best styles and how to achieve them was amazing. A very worthwhile and enjoyable experience." Margaret - Cambridge 08
"... I did really enjoy the workshop last Saturday. I have found it very helpful and it has made me relook at my wardrobe, especially lengths of my tops and jackets. I ceretainly will be taking a more closer look at what I am buying in the future.." Coral - Tauranga 08
"I so enjoyed my style and colour analysis with Ceeann - it was fun, positive and entirely constructive. I can't believe that, now in my 60's, I have more confidence in clothes shopping that I have ever had. Thanks Ceeann!"
Sandra Hunter - Urban & Country Editor - June 2008
"I embarked on the Style Consultation mainly because in the past I had not thought too much about what styles suited my body. Really I had guessed, with varied results. The hour and a half Style Consultation is very comprehensive. Now I know for sure which clothes suit my body, length and shape. I then decided to have my colours redone. I’d had them assessed 22 years ago. My skin had changed in that time. Auditing my wardrobe after the consultations was quite an eye opener! And it was wonderful to be discerning and more knowledgeable about which colours and styles are the best for me now. Ceeann is very helpful and I highly recommend her services..." Robyn Moughan - Hamilton 08
"This is the moment I've been dreading. Ceeann is coming today to do my wardrobe audit. Three hours later, many lessons learnt and I feel terrific! Gone is the indecision of what to wear and the daily struggle of not feeling as though I look quite right. For every garment thrown out there were excellent reasons why - too big, wrong shape for my body, colour. But after the first few items went the penny droppped and I started to realise why I have always felt like I didn't have anything to wear. It's because the things I bought were not right for me!
I'm so happy now, I can't wait to go shopping with Ceeann to buy my new clothes. I highly recommend this experience to every woman out there. Ceeann has an awesome way of doing the audit which left me feeling confident and knowlegable about where I've gone wrong in the past and excited about getting out there and creating the right look for me. Thank you Ceeann - you are 'simply the best'!" Lynn Stevenson - Hamilton 08
"Getting my colours sorted was the best thing I could have done. I had been wearing the wrong thing for years. Some clothes felt right and others didn't. The e-portfolio software is really very helpful. Now I have confidence to pick the right colours and styles that suit me. I should have done it ages ago as it gave me a real lift".
Keith - Hamilton 2007
"This was a great experience. I can now walk into a shop and do a quick scan for my colours and then narrow it down to my style making shopping easy and enjoyable!!! I wear everything that I now have in my wardrobe and everything goes together. Thanks for the whole experience - I love shopping again!!!"
