I have answered all the common questions I come across client-wise, from before speaking for the first time till after we’ve spent some time together.
For anything else, please do WhatsApp me contact me by clicking below.
As a wise person once told me, ‘the best things happen outside your comfort zone’. All my services offer a free consultation prior to them so we can get to know each other a bit better and make sure there is a fit.
I will work with you on the day and don’t have a prefixed way of doing things. My aim isn’t to get you looking fashionable, it is to help you establish your own style and be comfortable with it.
Anything we do will be an education, and you will learn a lot you can put into practise at any time in the future. Why not ring me for a chat, we can always discuss any concerns!
It does depend on where we shop, however a good median would be somewhere between £2,500-£5,000 on a single shop. I have worked with clients that have spent less and been really happy with their returns as well as others that have spent more than that on a single investment piece item. It really depends on your priorities and goals and obviously what you are prepared to invest. Our discovery call can help a lot in determining where we may end up budget wise.
It’s entirely possible we won’t. If there are any items of clothing that we have been looking for but unable to find on the shop (i.e. a belt which is common) I will shop for them online and send you a link to the items within a week of our shop.
A standard shopping trip is 3 hours, however you can upgrade this to a full day which gives you up to 5 hours (it is entirely possible to fit in more locations to the shop this way.
No, you should talk to me now and let’s discuss what you are going through currently so we can formulate a plan. There are various ways to start your styling journey, but if we take weight loss for an example here, you are always better off dressing for your physique now, as opposed to what you want to look like in for example a couple of months’ time. I don’t believe in styling people towards a place where they are not presently at. It doesn’t benefit you immediately and it can also have a negative and not positive impact on motivating you towards where you want to go.
The experience you will have with me is completely unlike going shopping myself or with partner/friend. I the majority of my shops we use private shopping suites, so you won’t be in and out of changing rooms and surrounded by other people.
Secondly when you turn up your items are already preselected and ready to try on. Again with most of my shops we can get refreshments served to the room, which is included, so you can afford to relax and know you won’t be rushed and we can choose only the items you love or would like to be guided towards.
Depending on your location, some shops will offer a pickup service, or items can be sent back in the post or exchanged in this way. Just let me know what you wish to do, and I can arrange everything for you.
This is just as a big investment into getting your time back as anything else, which many of my client’s value above everything else. Not just because I can do your clothes shopping for you, but also because you shortcut the process of knowing what looks good on, and the reasons why.
I’ll talk to you about the key reasons to set up a capsule wardrobe, what it looks like and how it save you loads of time planning out your outfits. You might also save a lot of money against poor choices of clothing when you do go shopping, clothes that struggle to work with the rest of your wardrobe or just seem to be one off pieces, hardly ever to be worn again.
There are a number of benefits to us going through your existing wardrobe first
It’s important to be able to make the most of your existing wardrobe. A wardrobe edit usually helps in allowing to you piece items together that you wouldn’t have before and really helps to identify where the main gaps are in your wardrobe meaning the personal shop can be a lot more focussed and key results driven.
A major advantage is you’ll also learn and understand why certain pieces work well for you and others don’t. It will usually come down to fit, but often it is colour too. We’ll look into whether we can rectify any current issues.
I definitely don’t recommend this. Both exercises can be a good amount of time and effort and to do both properly there wouldn’t be enough time. I like to leave 3 days to 2 weeks between both sessions because this space allows good processing time after the initial edit and often brings renewed focus and ideas you’ll share with me prior to the shop.
If it’s in your wardrobe usually we can cover it time permitting, there are also a lot of accessories you might want to bring into it such as watches, ties, pocket squares, scarves, wallets, bags, sunglasses etc.
Usually I don’t, but I can help you arrange a collection or advise on ways you can have them recycled or donated. If you have clothes you want to sell, I can also advise on this.
Imagine you’re in a shop changing room and ultimately, it’s the same principle. Some items you may not like, some won’t fit properly. So by over ordering we cut the need for reorders, plus we compare a lot easier this way.

Ideally, you should aim for at least 2 months before your wedding date. It seems like a long time, however, things can get busy in the immediate lead-up to the wedding. You don’t want to be running around chasing things unnecessarily after this time or relying on something you need being.
available in the shops. Make sure you do a full try on 4 weeks prior to the wedding just to ensure no alterations are needed, but to leave yourself enough time just in case.
If you want to invest your time into completely refreshing your look from top to toe, creating a style for yourself that makes you feel confident and that you can maintain easily and you don’t want to invest or potentially waste countless hours to get to try and get there, then smart styling is for you.
We don’t just tackle clothes either, I look at your complete annual lifestyle, holiday, events, work trips. I will also take into account all potential accessories such as bags, wallets, cufflinks and even a signature scent, which can be a massive game changer on it’s own.

In an ideal world I would like to have the process (wardrobe edit, personal shop and online shop) wrapped up in one month. Momentum and is really key with this type of package and it’s great to see results quickly. You will have one outstanding seasonal shop left (spring/summer or autumn winter), which we will pencil in to complete at the beginning of our process.
It purely comes down to seasonality, during the summer months for example, you will not be able to find the best selection of coats or knitwear available and vice-versa. It’s exactly the same case online also.
Location of shopping trip does have a role to play, however, split across the two personal shops and the online shop you should be looking at £5,000 +
