Most people shop online and most people prefer it over shopping in person. You might be time poor, you might not enjoy going out and shopping, using changing rooms or getting over whelmed by the shops full of clothes. Me, I love shopping in person which is why I do it for a living. But I also love shopping online. One of my most popular services are my online shopping look books.

Online shopping can come with its downfalls. Endless doom scrolling to find what you want. Not knowing what you want so using search tools to try to find pieces you like. Not knowing where to look so going back to old faithful brands that no longer suit you. Receiving the items and they don’t fit properly, you don’t know if you like it, if it suits you or if it’s quite what you were looking for. All resulting in having to send it back. That’s if you even manage to do that. Sound familiar?

That’s why my online shopping look book edits service is so popular. I do all the searching for you. I find you the perfect pieces from places you might never of heard of and items you would never of chosen. You receive them and there is no need to send them back because you love it and it fits! Choosing pieces that are perfect for you, your lifestyle and your budget is something I love to do. It is also something I do daily. I am constantly shopping for clients so I can make it look easy.

Now is a great time so refresh your wardrobe with some new pieces. I have 3 different online shopping look books to choose from, but this time of year I would advise you to think about how many pieces you need to add into your wardrobe. We are getting ready for Spring but weather wise we aren’t quite there yet so maybe you just want 5 new pieces to add in to update your wardrobe now and then do a seasonal look book in April when the best Spring bits are out. You might have a work trip coming up so need some pieces to add in, a holiday or weekend away and you want some new pieces to take with you. Whatever is on your mind we can discuss what you need and I can advise on which size look book to do.

Online personal shopping wardrobe update (approx 25 items across clothes & accessories) - £135.00

Online personal shopping small seasonal update (approx 15 items across clothes & accessories) - £95.00

Style fix online shopping 5 items - £40.00

Online personal shopping special occasion - £95.00

If you are still unsure then I would suggest a wardrobe review before you buy anything new.

This time of year I make a Spring wishlist. Pieces that have caught my eye over the weeks, items I might need or want in my wardrobe and I am excited about. I might bookmark them, wait for a discount code to buy them or just be searching for the right piece before I buy anything. My current wishlist is at the top of this blog post. Out of the 5 pieces I have bought 4 of them already and I am already wearing them because I love them so much! It revitilises the way I feel about my wardrobe, gives me something to get excited about and knowing I will continue wearing them for weeks to come means I have made a good investment.

5 transitional outfits to inspire

These few weeks between Winter and Spring are some of the hardest to dress because of the change in weather and its up and down temperatures. It is the right time to put away those Winter woolies but what do you wear now? It’s too cold for t-shirts and bare feet so it’s all about using what you have in your wardrobe and styling it in new ways. Here are 5 outfits to inspire you to look at your wardrobe and re-style pieces you already own, layering clothes and elevating your outfits with accessories and pops of colour.

Dressing for 2022

There is a definite change in the air, it’s not just the smell of Spring, the coming out of our covid bubble, it’s far more than that. It’s positivity about life, work and travel and the feeling of moving on now. But what I am finding is that you need to learn how to dress for your new life. Whether that being going back into the office, getting a promotion, children growing up, divorce or moving house, life has changed but our wardrobes have not followed.

A great place to start is by looking at your wardrobe. Spending time assessing what you need and what you don’t need. Whilst this process has always been a cathartic one, it’s far more about clothes, it’s also about letting go of past and future selves.

It always begins with questions; does this fit? When did I last wear it? Does I feel good wearing it? This can led to a full assessment of the life that you have led, the choices made, the careers lost or the ambitions not reached. Saying goodbye to the clothes that have accompanied us through those choices and our lives is its own form of therapy.

Read this quote below from a client where we had recently re-visited her wardrobe after 3 years where she went through a divorce, a house move and a job change…

“Thanks so much for a fab day today, I actually feel lighter already and super excited about getting dressed tomorrow and the wardrobe looks so organised too which makes me so happy.”

Some things will no longer have a place in your life but these clothes can accompany other women through theirs, women who are in a different place in their lives to you. Saying goodbye to the clothes that no longer serve us is hard, because it’s an acknowledgement that a part of us has moved on. But it can also feel like momentum, like your like is evolving and growing and there is no greater feeling than that.

If you are reading this and feel like you are ready to let go of your past lives and clothes that don’t serve you well then please email me for a consultation.

My Spring Fashion Fix

AW20 wishlist (3).jpg

Back in Autumn I had challenged myself to update my transitional Autumn wardrobe with 5 new pieces, using my Fashion Fix service. Identifying key items that I wanted and needed to transition from Summer into Autumn and when I look back now those items I brought have been worn time and time again and I will continue to wear again this Spring. Now it’s Spring and I have repeated the same challenge (admittedly I have gone 1 over by buying 6 items), to introduce into my wardrobe and style in the coming weeks.

Now is such a great time to reassess what you have in your wardrobe mainly because we are changing seasons but also because we are starting to come out of lockdown. For a whole year now there had been no need for anything but comfy outfits or outfits to walk in, but like a butterfly we will all start emerging and utilising more of our wardrobe when we do. Take some time out to pop your Winter jumpers away so you can really see what you have in your wardrobe that you are going to wear in the coming weeks. This gives you a chance to detox what has perhaps been sitting there for months and gets you thinking about some newness you my need.

As there is still alot of uncertainty about re-emerging right now you might not need alot of new pieces which is why my Fashion fix of 5 pieces to update your wardrobe is a great fill in for your style needs. Let me inspire you by showing you what I have brought and how I have been styling the new pieces.
