Planet-Conscious Personal Styling
Welcome
I provide a sustainable, friendly and personalised styling service, helping people with their confidence by dressing for their body shape and colouring. I am a qualified Style Coach™ and a member of the International Association of Style Coaches.
- Too many clothes and nothing to wear?
- Struggling to feel joy through your clothes?
- Want to look a certain way but not sure where to start?
- Lost your sense of identity and want to find your style personality?
- Fallen out of love with fast fashion but still want to feel stylish?
If any of these questions are ringing true, let me help you.
When we know how to dress, showcasing our true personality, our spending is more focused. We don’t waste our money. Each item bought needs to make us feel good… if it doesn’t, then it doesn’t deserve a place in our wardrobe!!
A change in our clothing isn’t going to fix the world but it’s an excellent place to start!
My Services
Colour analysis | £95
Colour is a magical thing! It can lift us, empower us and spread joy. Find colours that compliment, and showcase, your unique colouring. This can be done in-person or virtually.
An in-person colour analysis involves “colour draping” where we see the affect of colour on you! Learn your best colours, how to wear them and even some colour psychology!
The virtual analysis involves an initial call and then you will need to send me photos for the analysis (I’ll show you how!). I’ll collate a palette of beautiful colours to compliment your unique colouring! We’ll have a follow up call to go through them and I’ll provide you with a pdf palette to keep.
Body-Shape analysis | £95
Your body is unique and wonderful. By knowing and understanding your body shape, you’ll learn which cuts and shapes suit you best and how to use your clothing to showcase your brilliant body.
We’ll look at your horizontal shape & your vertical proportions – do you have a short torso with long legs or short legs and a long torso or are you balanced?
We’ll go through styling tips and tricks to get the best out of your figure. You’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to dress your body in the way you want.
I’ll give you a summary of our discussions to take away with you.
Wardrobe edit | £150
Let’s dive into your wardrobe and see what’s showing you at your best, what we can tweak and what just needs to go! We can ‘shop your wardrobe’ and identify any gaps for you to take shopping! We will get creative and ‘shop your wardrobe’ creating outfits and capsules for all occasions.
I also offer a free disposal service for your unwanted items.
Ask me about my mending service.
£150 for 3 hours + £50 for every additional hour. In-person visits available within 50 miles of Oxford
A digital ‘Lookbook’ record of your wardrobe with outfit reminders and the style tips discussed during the edit – £80
Sustainable personal shop | £125 for 2 hours
Depending on your preferences and budget, I’ll take you on a fun shopping experience. Find those key pieces or fill the gaps in your wardrobe at the charity shops, vintage shops or the more sustainable end of the high street. As well as a personal shopper, you’ll styling tips and advice during the session.
Charity shop personal shopping available at Headington, Summertown, Oxford, Oxfam Superstore, Abingdon or (whilst open from 24th March 2023) The Charity Supermarket in Reading.
Includes an initial coffee and a chat before we hit the shops. Let’s explore the treasures available and have some fun!
Charity shop shopping needs a open mind and a grateful heart. I like to make a donation at the same time… a great time to drop off the “just needs to go” pile from your wardrobe edit!
Sewing patterns for your wardrobe | £25 for up to 5 items
If you like to sew, I can recommend some patterns and fabric so you can create some gorgeous personal pieces – slow fashion at its best! Ensure your precious time sewing is spent making something that wow’s you at the end and fit cohesively with your style! I can recommend fabrics for your body-shape and lifestyle so your me-made garments will be a treasured part of your wardrobe.
“Why, thank you, I made it myself!”
