"Real style is never right or wrong. It's a matter of being yourself on purpose." - G. Bruce Boyer
The key to feeling comfortable in your own skin and looking confidently stylish is understanding how to dress the person you truly are on the inside, in a way that also flatters your body shape, proportions and natural colouring. I specialise in creating lifelong confidence for busy people through their clothing choices. I'm passionate about empowering you to dress your honest self in your everyday life and in making your wardrobe work hard for you, while saving you time and money for your individual budget and life stage. Having previously juggled a corporate career alongside being a mum of two, I can relate to the constant need to wear different hats and the practical challenges this can present. My skills and experience have equipped me to compassionately guide you through your ever-evolving, unique personal style, at your own pace.
"Fast fashion is like fast food. After the sugar rush it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth." - Livia Firth
We're growing increasingly aware of the impact our consumer choices are having on the world around us. Understanding your personal style and best colours enables you to shop in a more mindful way by only buying clothes that you love, clothes that you know suit you, and will serve you time and time again.
