It’s time for us to look on the bright side, by boosting our mood and lifting our spirit, both in our interiors, as well as our closet.
If we could write ourselves a prescription today, would it be for instant happiness and joy, optimism and hope? In the current climate of anxiety and uncertainty, let's take control of the things that we can change in a positive way.

Advance Praise
This is exactly what the doctor ordered!
A fabulous book, totally on point with the world as it is. Bringing so much positivity to our lives … something that has been lacking in recent times. I’m a ‘Follower of Fashion’ when it comes to Jules Standish … she is clever, witty and fun and always thinks ‘outside the box’. Her depth of knowledge using colour through mindfulness and holistic diagnosis is really quite astounding. Being a songwriter, I write lyrics using a similar process to Jules – stories with layers of colour, uplifting and positive vibes … ‘Sending You Love Across the World’ creating calm, happiness and ‘A Colourful Dose of Optimism!’
Susie Webb, Singer/songwriter of the BossaNova album
We all want to wear colour, yet our lack of knowledge and understanding has us hiding behind our dark blues and blacks, fearful of making an awkward mistake. If you are yearning to break out of your colour prison let Jules Standish help you match the right shades for your mood and feel the power of light.
