Hi! Tudo bom? Hola!

I’m Leti Marsola, a certified personal stylist from the London College of Style and a Colour Consultant. But before we get into that, let me tell you how I got here!

The Beginning – Brazil, Clothes & Creativity

I’m originally from Brazil, and I’ve been passionate about clothing and personal style for as long as I can remember. As a teenager, I found joy in experimenting with fashion—whether that meant choosing a denim set for my first communion instead of the traditional white dress, styling my grandmother’s blouses into dresses, or customizing my school uniform just enough to push the boundaries. Clothes have always been a way for me to express myself, and looking back, I can see how they’ve been woven into my life’s story.

Life Abroad – Cultural Shifts & Career Evolution

In 2005, I moved to Chile, where I lived for ten years. My background is in Education, and my career path has always been connected to languages, creativity, and culture. I taught Portuguese to executives in Santiago, worked in digital content creation and management for PUMA, and later became the Latin America Client Loyalty Manager at Thomson Reuters. As you might guess, I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English. 

Love brought me to the UK in 2015 when I moved to York with my Yorkshire-born husband. That same year, I lost my mum to cancer, marking a turning point in my life. A year later, I became pregnant—a journey that came with its own challenges, including gestational diabetes and health complications from a pulmonary embolism I had survived in 2013. In 2017, my little one was born, and while I loved motherhood, I struggled with how I saw myself.

The Style Awakening – Rediscovering Myself

I fell into the trap of dressing “like a mum”—but what does that even mean? I was exhausted (of course!) and trying to fit into a mold that didn’t feel like me.
