The Stylist Experience

Have you ever wondered what it's like to work with a personal stylist? Let's delve into the experience together because, quite frankly, it's more than just a service—it's an enlightening journey of personal development. The work I do is not just about clothes; it's about understanding ourselves, gaining insights, and gaining knowledge that we take throughout our lives. Clothing, in my view, is a powerful tool for expressing our inner selves, sending messages not only to others but also to ourselves.


Let's explore what this transformative experience looks like, guided by a systematic approach I've developed to lay the foundation for a wardrobe you'll love.


Style Foundations: Crafting Confidence and Expression

The journey begins with what I term "Style Foundations." This process is designed to establish the bedrock for a style and wardrobe that exude confidence. I focus on four key areas:


1. Colour: Discovering the hues that enhance your skin tone is a game-changer. Through the color draping process, you gain a tool that guides you in choosing colors that amplify your presence. In wearing the right colours, others are more drawn to and are focused on you. It also saves time during shopping and prevents costly mistakes, ensuring every item in your closet gets the attention it deserves.


2. Silhouette: Certain clothing cuts can create a harmonious balance, making you feel more at ease in your skin. Understanding your body and embracing cuts that complement your physique not only boosts confidence but also ensures you feel fantastic every day.

3. Style Personality: Unleash your inner self through your style. There's no right or wrong—only authenticity. I guide you in discovering and weaving your unique style personality into every aspect of your wardrobe, creating a seamless reflection of you. Often people will have bits of many styles in their style personality. I describe mine as ‘classic glam with an edgy twist’. It took me some time and trial and error to discover this. The process I take my clients through helps to expedite this process.


4. Lifestyle: Style isn't just for special occasions; it's for every facet of your life. Whether you're dressing up for work or relaxing at home, your wardrobe should support and enhance your lifestyle. Feel the difference when your clothing aligns with who you are, even in the coziest of settings.


Wardrobe Edit: A Mindful Decluttering

Building on the Style Foundations, we embark on a Wardrobe Edit. This enlightening process involves evaluating your existing wardrobe, determining what aligns with your newfound style, and creating space for what truly serves you.


It's not just about letting go; it's about making room for what sparks joy and resonates with the person you're becoming.





Shopping: Tailoring Your Wardrobe to Perfection

Armed with insights from the Wardrobe Edit, we enter the Shopping phase. Whether we're starting from scratch or enhancing an existing collection, the goal is to identify missing pieces and round out your wardrobe. I conduct a pre-shop to streamline the process, selecting items tailored to your style, and we embark on a transformative journey together in the fitting room.


Which colours from your colour palette do you feel the best in? What is your style personality based on how you respond to the different pieces? It really is a discovery session. I love the moment I see you walk out of the change room standing a little taller and an extra spark in your smile.


Style Session: Crafting Your Signature Look


The final step is the Style Session, where we merge your new items with existing pieces to create stunning outfits. I document these ensembles digitally, ensuring you have a personalized style guide at your fingertips for easy reference. The result? A wardrobe that not only looks good but also makes you feel extraordinary.


Every individual's journey is unique. Some may stop after Style Foundations, armed with newfound knowledge, while others may skip the Wardrobe Edit to dive straight into Shopping. The beauty lies in the flexibility to tailor the experience to what works best for you.


As you venture into your closet next, ask yourself, "Does this support the person I'm becoming?" If the answer is no, it might be time to bid farewell to that piece and set a new standard for yourself. Your clothes should support you, not hinder your growth.



And as a recent client exclaimed after a "Shop With a Stylist" session, "This is the best money I have ever spent."


In Conclusion: Elevate Your Style, Elevate Your Life.
