FAQ's
I'd love to have a personal stylist, but the thought of someone going through my wardrobe terrifies me! I'm so embarrassed.
Don't worry, you don't need to feel embarrassed. I have seen wardrobes of all shapes, sizes and conditions and am rarely surprised by what I find. I will never judge you based on how many clothes you own, what you look like or the clothes you wear - I am here to help you and will do so in a friendly, approachable and easy manner.
I've recently put on a lot of weight and now struggle knowing what to wear and what suits me, can you help?
Absolutely. Regardless of what size or shape you are, I can help you to look and feel gorgeous and on top of the world. I will take the time to show you what styles and shapes you should be wearing so that whatever size you are, you're the absolute best version of yourself. With a few guidelines in place, you'll soon start to learn what to look out for and what to avoid and getting dressed in the morning will be something you look forward to each day.
I want to update my image but I'm not really sure what style I want, does this matter?
Not really. Once I've asked you lots of questions and got to know a bit more about your personality and lifestyle, I will start to get a sense of the person you are and an idea of what style will work for you. Sometimes I might ask that before the consultation you buy some magazines and rip out the pages of the things you like or the styles of someone you admire. This can help build up an idea of what you're naturally drawn to and together we can use that to influence your own image overhaul.
I would love to go shopping with you but I don't have much money.
Whatever your budget is I will spend it wisely and carefully. I have great retail knowledge and will use that to get the most out of your money. I don't work on commission so you will never be pressurised into buying something that doesn't work for you in every sense. I understand that whatever our situation in life, we still want to look good, and so will happily take you shopping to wherever I feel is going to bring you the best value.
I seem to shop all the time yet wear the same things again and again.
This is a really common complaint which many people suffer from. We're all creatures of habit and often it's easier to stick with the same combinations than to try and push our own boundaries, especially if we don't really know what suits us. Once you learn why some styles work for you and others don't, you'll feel more confident in trying out new looks and leaving the old ones behind. I will use your existing wardobe and show you how to wear items differently and demonstrate how accessories can completely change and update an outfit.
I would love to have my colours done - do I need to do anything beforehand to prepare?
All you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy! I will bring with me everything we need for the session which takes around 90 minutes. I do prefer you to be bare-faced (i.e. no make up) so that we can see exactly how the colours are reacting with your skin, hair and eye colour. I will also give you a make up makeover so whilst you may start our session off feeling a little plain, by the end of it you'll look and feel fantastic, AND have the knowledge of how to create the look yourself every day.
I'm reaching 60 but still feel like a 20 year old inside. I want to look fashionable, but don't want to look like my daughter, but at the same time I don't want to look like my mother either!
I understand, just because you're getting older doesn't mean you want to look old. I will create an 'age-appropriate' style for you that leaves you looking fashionable and modern yet won't embarrass your children! Being stylish isn't about what age you are, it's about expressing who you are inside, whether you're 20 or 120!
I want to update my style, but don't really want to go shopping.
No problem. Using your existing collection of clothes I will mix and match and create new outfits in a way that you probably wouldn't think to do so. It might be that with a few alterations we can change the look of an old dress and turn it into a new top for example. Whatever you choose, I will work within those guidelines. Once I've had a good rummage through your wardrobe you'll be amazed by what I can create without you having to spend a penny.
Do I need to bring all my clothes to you?
No, I will visit you at your house. It's more convenient for you and you'll probably feel at your most relaxed. After all this is supposed to be fun! I'm based in Bristol but cover the South West region. I am able to travel greater distances but this incurs additional travel costs.
I'm a full time mum looking after a baby and a toddler. I feel I've lost a sense of who I am and would love to get back to the old me.
As a mum myself, I understand what it feels like to have children in your life who take up lots of your time and energy and the effects this can have. Our lives might have changed, but underneath the nappies and toys, we're still the same person we used to be and want a style that reflects this. I will take into account all the pressures of being a mum and create a realistic image for you that is relevant to the lifestyle you lead today. Heels might look good, but you're not going to get far in them running around the park with a baby and toddler! Once we've had our session together, you'll still look like yourself but a more updated and modern version and one that is still able to deal with life's madness and chaos!
