HOW DOES IT WORK?
THE STYLE CONSULTATION
The Style Consultation is all about you, my client. This is a face to face meeting either in person or over Skype. I’ll get to know your personality, personal taste and lifestyle and we’ll discuss the best way to enhance your style.
You’ll learn about your body shape and what stores I can take you to and I’ll show you how to add colour to your wardrobe for and how to maximise your best features. Mostly, during our session together, I get to listen to what you need and plan a service that exceeds your expectations.

PERSONAL SHOPPING
There are so many factors that influence your shopping habits and impulse buying. I meet clients all the time that are constantly bringing home the same items and wondering why they have eight brown cardigans, all in the same cut. Or why they have so much of one colour in their wardrobe. Habits like these are so easy to form, no wonder you’re struggling to find things that suit you and work well with the rest of your wardrobe.
I’ll teach you the importance of a core wardrobe and buying quality over quantity and I’ll take you to the right stores for your shape, style and budget. You’ll learn what colours suit you, plus you’ll learn how to shop with purpose, like a Stylist.
With me by your side, you’ll snap out of your style rut and feel confident that the next time you shop, you’ll pick the perfect investment pieces.

WHAT IS A PERSONAL SHOPPER
WHAT IS A PERSONAL SHOPPER?
Pick the right personal shopper for your needs
A personal shopper can broadly be defined as someone who either buys items on an individual’s behalf or assists people with purchasing choices. While technically they can provide help with the buying of just about any kind of product, personal shoppers are typically involved in making purchases of clothing or fashion related pieces.
Many trained Fashion Stylists work in this field helping clients to buy clothing that is optimally suited to their individual attributes, including body shape, skin and hair colour. Clients can also learn about style and how to dress correctly to project a strong public or professional image.
A Personal Shopper who is a trained fashion stylist will shop with a client for items that fit the client’s lifestyle, budget, taste, body shape and skin colouring. A personal shopper will help you discover new ways of shopping that are practical and time-saving, and not impulsive and overly expensive. It is important to keep in mind that not all are fashion stylists so it is important to make sure you are working with a qualified professional if you are after clothing that is going to best suit you and your individual needs.
A personal shopper will also create outfits for you and take the hard work out of putting looks together and pulling them off perfectly. They give you confidence that you can transform your desired outcome into a reality. Hiring a personal shopper when you need to buy multiple items of clothing, whether that be for work, play or a special event, is a lucrative and educational experience that changes your outlook on individual style, wardrobe maintenance and smart shopping.
In-Store
An in-Store Personal Shopper or Stylist often works for a commission paid by the store owner. Some in-store services advise that there is no obligation to purchase, while others charge a fee for hiring them. In-store Personal Shopper services are available in Sydney at the stores of David Jones, Myer, Sportsgirl & Topshop. In many cases, these employees don’t have formal training but have excellent product knowledge.
