Style Makeovers For Women in Sydney & Illawarra
Colour Analysis, Wardrobe Edit, Shopping Session & Outfit Styling…The Ultimate Personal Styling Experience
Personal Style Makeovers.
Getting a Style Makeover is not just about shopping. It’s about learning to move from the style you have (or don’t have) and doing the ground work to build and maintain a style you love. Together we’ll prioritise your style based on your lifestyle, personal colouring, taste, body shape and budget. With me as your Personal Stylist, I’ll hold your hand through finding your style and curating your wardrobe towards it, filling in any shopping gaps and helping you put outfits together. If you’re ready to find your style, it’s time to book a Style Makeover package.
“Thank you so much for yesterday! I had an absolute blast. You are amazing and I don’t think I’ll ever shop without you! The clothes are me all over, I showed my mother and she couldn’t believe it! You matched me so well, thank you!”

What is a Style Makeover?
The Style Makeover is one of my most popular services for a reason - it’s transformative. It makes my clients lives easier and delivers an effortless sense of style, while taking into account my clients lifestyles, needs and budgets. This package is designed for clients who want to work across their wardrobe; from finding their style and editing their wardrobes to shopping and buying clothing that mixes and matches, fits and flatters. We look at everything, work, weekend and night-out outfits to shoes and accessories.
I’ve designed this service for clients who want to invest in themselves and their wardrobes and are ready to shop for their style - not just for clothing. It takes place over four appointments and is available to clients in Sydney and Wollongong.
Four Steps To Your New Style!
-
1. Colour Analysis
Your Style Makeover will start with a fresh approach to colour. I’ll analyse your best colours and present my findings to you in a Zoom meeting. You’ll get a copy of your digital colour swatch guide and I’ll break down why your colours work for you.
-
2. Style Consultation & Wardrobe Audit
The second appointment takes place at your home. After sitting down to discuss your needs in more detail, we’ll audit your wardrobe and get a plan together to build you a style you love. We’ll edit your wardrobe, mark alterations and I’ll make your shopping list.
-
3. Personal Shopping Session
When you arrive for your shopping session, everything I’ve found on your list will be put aside in fitting rooms across the stores. You’ll just need to walk in and try them on! If you don’t love an item, I’ll have a back up option just incase.
-
4. Wardrobe Integration Session
After we’ve shopped and you’ve got everything back in your wardrobe, I’ll head to your place to help you blend your new and existing wardrobe together and create new outfits. I’ll give your space an organise and you’ll have a brand new style!
Is A Style Makeover Right For You?
You have a packed wardrobe, but nothing that reflects your style.
You don’t know what your style is.
You aren’t a fan of shopping, fitting rooms are nightmarish.
You’re sick of wasting money on clothing you don’t wear.
You’re constantly wearing variations of the same outfit, over and over, and it feels like a uniform.
Your wardrobe consists of few colours and too much of the same thing.
You want clothing that lasts, fits well and excites you.
You want to know what goes together.
You want to take the stress out of finding clothes that make you feel amazing.
You want to find your style.

A Glimpse Into Your Style Makeover
PREP & INTAKE
When you book your session, we’ll start preparing your style straight away. You’ll receive a welcome pack with a short list of preparation you need to do before your Colour Analysis and first home visit. You’ll send through photos of your wardrobe and of yourself and, I’ll start working on your colour analysis and preparing for your Style Consultation and Wardrobe Audit.
VIRTUAL COLOUR ANALYSIS
Your first appointment starts with learning your colour type, this will set the foundation for the colours we choose to go into your wardrobe. I’ll help you understand your best neutrals, statement colours and how best to pair them together in clothing. This will also give you ideas for jewellery, makeup and optical colours.
STYLE CONSULTATION
Next, it’s time for your second appointment. This is where we’ll discuss your style goals and deep dive into your shopping habits, struggles and taste. This session helps me to get clear on your key priorities for your wardrobe. We’ll discuss body shape, budget and how you currently feel about your style.
WARDROBE AUDIT
The next part of your second appointment is the Wardrobe Audit. This will show me not only on what you own, but how you’ve shopped in the past. Together, we’ll create a list of items to shop for and a breakdown of shapes to add to your wardrobe. Whether you’ve got lots of pants in the same shape and not enough tops, or seem to constantly buy the same colour clothing, I’ll help you declutter and curate your wardrobe towards the style you want to have.
PERSONAL SHOPPING
In our third appointment, the bulk of our progress really starts to show. When you arrive for your session, the items you’ll be trying are already laid out in fitting rooms in nearby stores so you don’t have to spend time browsing. Instead, you’ll be able to focus on trying new things like shapes and colours, you might even discover a brand you haven’t shopped with before! Here you’ll get advice on how to shop and come home with great items you’ll not only love, but items you’ll live in. You’ll leave knowing what colours and garments make you shine and feel confident in your new and redefined style.
WARDROBE INTEGRATION
In our final appointment, we’ll be putting outfits together out of your pre-existing and new clothing. Here is your opportunity to ask any extra questions you’ve had time to come up with, have your wardrobe organised professionally and come away with a variety of outfits pre-styled for you.
What about the clothing you don’t love?
When going through your wardrobe, you want to get the most out of what you have. There might be things in there that no longer serve your personal style and routine now and that’s okay! Alarna can recommend various causes and charities to donate your items to. If you have items that can’t be donated due to their condition, there are recycling schemes in place that can be recommended. Rest assured, any items you’ll be passing on won’t be wasted.
How Long Do We Have To Shop?
The Style Makeover comes in two sizes, one comes with a four hour shopping session, the other with a full day session which allows up to 8 hours. I offer two different sizes as every client is different. The smaller shopping session is perfect for those who want to focus on one area of their wardrobe, like workwear or casual wear. The larger Style Makeover is designed for clients looking to work across their work, casual and going out wardrobe.
Does the large Style Makeover cover clothing for all seasons?
When shopping, we’ll cover your wardrobe staples and seasonal items for the current weather season. If you book in Autumn, we’ll cover your wardrobe for Autumn/Winter and you’ll have a variety of items you can transition into Spring/Summer. When shopping in opposite seasons, you won’t have the clothing options to fill out your high season pieces, like sundresses and sandals, etc. When clients want to rebook with me for the opposite season, we do a Style Makeover Refresh session, which is only for existing clients and is designed to round out the opposite season.

FAQs
Are you professionally trained?
Yes. While there is no minimum qualification for people to be Stylists, I’m trained in Fashion Design, Menswear Styling, Personal Styling, Image Consulting, Commercial Styling and Colour Analysis. I’ve not only dedicated my training to courses, I got experience working in fashion retail, fashion magazines, costume and wardrobe for television, music and live productions and I’ve been running my personal styling business since 2012.
Do you work with plus size or petite women?
Of course, I work with women of all shapes and sizes! While we may need to purchase some items online for certain garments, I’ll hold your hand through the whole process so you have a fabulous style makeover.
How long does the style makeover take?
The Style Makeover runs over 4 appointments. Most clients prefer to spread this over four weeks, to allow them time to absorb what they’re learning. It can, however, be completed in less time.
Where do we shop?
All Style Makeover clients will shop in Sydney City as there is the most variety, sizing options and brand discounts available to my clients. Clients will also have access to my tailor, cobbler and specialist services in this area.
I’m not sure if I need the small or large session, should I start small?
If you’re not sure what size session you need, you can always get in touch to discuss your specific needs before making a decision. If you’re still unsure after that, it’s always best to start small. If you find you need more time to shop once we’ve completed your Wardrobe Edit, we can upgrade your session.
How much should I have for a clothing budget?
Your clothing budget depends on a variety of things; how much clothing you need, the average cost per item in brands you shop with and whether you need any high-ticket items like a winter coat or evening wear. While it’s safe to start with $2.5k for your clothing budget, when we have your wardrobe audit, I’ll help you determine a budget suitable for your shopping list.
Do you work weekends and weeknights?
I offer weekend and Thursday night bookings for clients wanting a session outside of regular work hours. As these are very popular, it’s best to book early to avoid disappointment.
What parts of Sydney and Wollongong do you service?
I service between North Sydney and Kiama, along the coast as part of my free travel zone. Clients outside of this area can be booked at an agreed travel fee.
