Nina isn't just a stylist, she's a makeover magician!
13/03/24 - Hayley

I asked Nina to come over to do my colours, wardrobe detox and a 2 page capsule wardrobe. I was stuck in a rut, living in comfy clothes for the school run, dog walks, and working from home. Who needs to look good when no one's going to see me I thought. Nina showed me how amazing I can look with simple pieces styled the right way. No need for super fancy outfits, just smart choices that flatter my figure and colouring.

Nina even gave me my own colour palette, handbag size flip guide. Now, shopping is a breeze, there's no more wondering if a top will wash me out, I just check my guide.

My confidence has grown, I feel put-together and stylish without any extra effort. Nina decluttered my wardrobe and designed a capsule wardrobe for me, and it's been a game-changer. Getting dressed in the morning is simple and stress-free. I loved it so much, I'm going to get Nina to design my summer wardrobe too!

Thanks, Nina!

Nina took away my anxieties leaving me to enjoy my clothes
16/02/24 - Lysa

I booked a power hour with Nina as I had a few new items for Christmas I wasn’t sure how to style, plus I had a business trip coming up that had multiple needs to pack for and hand luggage only! 

In just an hour, Nina had sorted all my business trip outfits, plus put together lots of other outfit ideas for my wardrobe using new and existing items, and identified some gaps that would give me even more possibilities. The next morning I had 5 suggestions for things we’d discussed in my inbox, all fabulous and all working with my existing wardrobe. 

If you have anything on your mind regards your wardrobe, don’t hesitate to book a power hour with Nina - she’ll take all your anxieties away leaving you to enjoy your clothes and feel great.

I have a new found confidence with my style
08/02/24 - Claire

I have always admired Nina’s style so she was the perfect choice for a style over-haul. 

Nina started our session with a colour analysis which I really enjoyed: I now know exactly which colours I should and shouldn’t wear and have my pocket sized palette to make shopping within my colours really simple.  

Armed with my colours, we then moved onto my wardrobe. Everything was removed and we ended up numerous bags for charity and resell. Nina then reorganised what was left to make it easy to make outfits from. Leaving me with a wardrobe full of clothes that suited me and a shopping list of items to buy! 

Nina’s whole approach was relaxed and I loved how she got to know the real me - my lifestyle, my job and my personality.  

The whole experience was very much like having a friend over and the time flew! 

When it comes to clothes, Nina has left me with a new found confidence and a slimmed down wardrobe. 

I never want to go shopping with anyone else again!
10/10/23 - Joanna

I've never been hugely into clothes, but recently, post-COVID, post-baby body changes I really felt like I had nothing to wear to anything and no confidence in trying to buy new clothes because I didn't feel like anything would suit me. Basically, massive funk!

Nina came to my house and we spent a while chatting about clothes, how I felt about them, what I liked and didn't like etc. Then she did my colours, which was fun! We then moved to my wardrobe for the detox. I was in exactly the right mind-set for this, SO ready to get rid of stuff that previously I had held onto because at least it was clothes to wear even if I didn't feel great about them. Knowing we'd be going shopping to get things that actually suited me gave me a huge boost! At the end of that my wardrobe was basically empty (which is a bit of a statement regarding my fashion sense!) I had "specialised" clothes, like gym clothes still mostly untouched, but we went through everything else, including shoes and I had a couple of jumpers, jeans and tops to get me through the week until the shopping trip. And a car-boot full of clothes which I took straight to the charity shop, to avoid any temptation to just hang onto something a bit longer...

I can't remember the last time I was excited about shopping, but I spent the whole week looking forward to the day! Nina was brilliant about pointing out discounts, like for newsletter sign-ups and she introduced me to some new places to shop too, which was great. At the end of it I had 2 bags of clothes, which doesn't seem like a lot, but everything could be used in some way with everything else.

As a result it has definitely made me rethink how many clothes/outfits I actually need. And I LOVE the fact that now I don't have to even think about whether I should buy a colour, I can remember everything in my wardrobe and I know what colours suit me.

The whole experience was exactly what I needed! I definitely came out of it feeling better about my wardrobe. Rather than having unworn clothes spilling out everywhere, I feel in control of it now, I have it all in one single wardrobe, it doesn't feel overwhelming and best of all everything in it is wearable and I don't need to think/worry about it!

I never want to go shopping with anyone else again :D Nina is lovely, enthusiastic, energetic, she listens, she's amazing!

Don’t wait to loose the weight!
17/04/23 - Mairead

I have always struggled with my weight and felt like my body was such a difficult shape to work with. For a very long time, shopping has been an ordeal that I had to go through and the aim was just to get something that covers me - forget about style/fashion,  or personality. Nina was recommended by a friend, and although I thought I would love it, I had argued it would be better to do once I had lost the weight, because only then was it worth it, only then was I worth it. I am so glad I changed my mind and cannot believe what a difference it has made to my life! I had been through a traumatic life changing year which made me have to reassert control of who I was. I decided my physical image was next, I was done with waiting, I really wanted to have some confidence in myself and was ready to start looking better and stop feeling so disappointed every time I looked in the mirror. I was so bored of my tired, tatty, years old wardrobe full of clothes from sizes 12-20, of things I was keeping for when I got thinner and only having a small number of items I could actually wear. It's only now so obvious how much that was adding to bringing me down every single day.

As soon as you meet her you can't help but be taken in by Nina, she's incredibly friendly and she just looked so fantastic when she rocked up you think - wow I can't imagine what it would be like to be able to look that great. That's what she actually does, she makes you feel like you are that great! I decided to just go all in for this experience, colour analysis, wardrobe cleanse and personal shopping and go with her advice as much as possible. The colour analysis surprised me, with some of the colours being ones I would never go for in a million years but could see instantly how they all went together so nicely when I was given my swatch book. Next came the wardrobe cull. The efficiency made it so much easier, in about an hour and a half we had gone through everything. Not a whole lot survived, but I had been clinging on to so many things that even if I did lose the weight, honestly I wouldn't really want to wear them, they were just so outdated and it reflected a different me.

I was scared about the personal shopping, I really doubted we would be able to find much and I felt like Nina would have her work cut out for her. I am between a 16 and 20 for some shops, and for others - don't even bother. It seems like a reasonable enough size range but I found items are more often either ridiculously loose or embarrassingly tight, generally shopping is a humiliating experience. I figured that even if we got a few pairs of shoes then that would be something. Within 30 minutes, I had tried on about 8 items that not only fitted me, I absolutely loved. It was incredible to try on so many things that actually looked good on me, and felt good. I am not used to clothes feeling so lovely to wear. Usually the watery eyes in the changing room are from shame and embarrassment, but not this time. This time I felt like I was human again, like I was a woman again not just a blob. Even when some things didn't fit, it didn't matter because I was finding plenty of other things that did and looked great. It is incredible what she achieved in 3 hours - how many things I was picking up. What a day!

Now I open my wardrobe and it just makes me so happy! I often can't decide what to wear, but now it's because I can't decide which one I like more. It is fantastic to have a wardrobe of clothes that are all interchangeable and I love how easy it is to mix and match to make lovely different outfits. I found Nina's advice the whole way through the experience was so helpful, from what cuts to go for, or avoid and why, to knowing about some more brands or how much the material makes a difference. I still have weight to lose but I feel absolutely great doing it. Thank you Nina!

The best thing is Nina suggesting outfit combinations
17/03/23 - Victoria

I felt like a really needed a total overhaul on my wardrobe: loads of clothes that didn’t really go together and feeling that I ‘lost my way’ on what suited me. Wasting time - spending hours scrolling on-line and in the post office returning clothes. And wasting money on clothes that sat in the wardrobe. 

I booked the Style Package service and Nina spent time getting to know me, what I was looking for, advised what suits me and then 80% of my wardrobe ended up in bin bags for the charity shop! I do not for one second miss anything that’s gone and instead have a wonderful wardrobe of clothes - which suit me and make me feel good. Loads of clothes which I would never have chosen - had Nina not suggested - are now my favourite go-to items.

I would definitely recommend the ‘styling session’ where Nina puts together clothing combinations and takes pictures which I have on the inside of my wardrobe - totally taking the stress out of dressing for work. And one of the best things about the styling session is that Nina suggested combos which I would never have ever considered and absolutely love! 

Nina is so lovely - she is very kind, considerate and thoughtful. Mixed in with a laser focus, speed and so knowledgable about fashion and what suits, it makes for a really enjoyable experience!! Thank you Nina!! 

The whole thing gave me such a boost
12/03/23 - Gemma

Nina helped me with a colour consultation, wardrobe edit and a shopping trip together to help me choose some new pieces for my wardrobe. I’d been in a bit of a style rut- especially with my work wardrobe where I need to look smart but also want to feel stylish! With Nina’s help I’ve got some great options for work - and I’ve overhauled my casual wardrobe as well because the new items are really versatile. I’m feeling much more confident about choosing what suits me now. I literally feel armed with knowledge now I know about my colour palette! I’ve also started wearing items in my existing wardrobe that I’d previously been overlooking. 

Nina was an absolute pleasure to go through this process with. Very professional as well as being warm and friendly with a positive attitude. I was not sure what to expect on our shopping trip but I didn’t need to worry, because Nina knew exactly what to do; she had our shops planned out and knew what items to look for. The time just flew and we used it so efficiently. The whole thing gave me such a boost. Thank you Nina.

Colour Analysis
14/12/22 - Claire

I just wanted to say how much the colour consultation you did for me has changed how I live my life! 

I am slowly phasing all the grey out of my wardrobe and all new items I'm buying are in my colours - mainly khaki and forest greens, caramels and browns. I've even bought a red dress! And brown chequered trousers! 2 items of clothes I never thought I'd own!

Shopping is 1000x easier now as I can immediately focus my attention on clothing in the colours I know will make me look my best.  I keep the little book of all the colour swatches in my hand bag so I always have it to hand when out and about.

I'm hoping when I'm off work between Christmas and New Year I'll have a bit of time to overhaul my wardrobe and see what I can donate and where my gaps are. It's now an exciting prospect, not a terrifying one!

You've given me so much more confidence in my clothing choices and in myself,  particularly as I negotiate my new-ish post-partum body. Sorry this sounds really rather gushy, but I can't thank you enough!

I feel attractive again…
11/11/22 - Michelle

A couple of friends had recently used Nina’s full wardrobe overhaul service and looked amazing every time I saw them, so I began the process with trepidation but high hopes. She didn’t disappoint.
Nina was open and friendly, took her time to get to know me (my confidence was low post children) and my lifestyle needs. She took on board my preferences as we identified what colours suit me best. As we attacked my wardrobe she was efficient and direct but it’s what I needed! She has taught me how to embrace modern styles in a classy way and how to dress for my new shape. I now genuinely enjoy choosing any outfit from my wardrobe, feel cool even as a mum, and attractive again. I will definitely being coming back when summer comes round, thanks Nina!

Thank you Nina!
2/11/22 - Sharon

It's a funny thing, fashion. I think I know what looks good on me. The tricky part is that it seems to take a million online orders and returns to find it. But now that is no longer an issue. After the initial getting to know you session, I feel like you had me figured out straight away. The two lookbooks you've done have honed in on what looks good on ME. Not only do I feel great, but it's saved me (and the post office) sooo much time and sooo many returns . A totally invaluable service in today's world.  Thank you so much Nina and I look forward to working with you next season.

Nina is so knowledgable, friendly and professional
7/10/22 - Victoria

I booked in to see Nina for a wardrobe detox and colour analysis after she had been recommended to me by two of my friends. Although I really enjoy shopping, my wardrobe was getting cluttered with clothes which weren’t necessarily the right size or colour for me.

Nina began with a colour analysis then helped me to detox my wardrobe which although was a bit scary, it was also very therapeutic! Having had a chat about my lifestyle, what kind of clothes and styles I like, she then created a personalised look book. This was absolutely amazing! Each piece has been carefully selected and it was just a case of clicking on the link which took you straight to the item to purchase.

Once the items arrived, I then asked Nina to come back and show me how to style some of the pieces which were a bit different to my usual style and mix and match them together.

Nina is so knowledgable, friendly and professional. I would 100% recommend her styling services whether you need a complete wardrobe overhaul or just feel you’ve lost your way a bit and need a reminder of what works for your body shape, life style and colours.

Thank you Nina!

I am more confident with what I wear now
27/09/22 - Gaelle

Over the last few years, I have lost my style spark and realised I was stuck in a rut. After following @edits_styling (aka Nina) for a while on Instagram, I decided to book a style package.

First we worked together on identifying what colours suited me. I already had a good understanding of what colours suited me and which didn’t, yet it was great to have a proper colour analysis done to confirm what I thought. I was glad my love for ´Autumn’ colours suited my skin complexion.

After a couple of hours going through my wardrobe, Nina, with an honest and sensitive approach, sifted through my clothes. All items that were no longer suitable were moved away. I was quite shocked by how much was put away but it felt extremely good. Nina then showed me a few style combinations with items I had left and recommended some priority items to purchase to complement what I had already.

Overall it was a positive experience and I have found myself feeling more confident in what I wear and how I wear clothes together. Everything in my wardrobe goes together so it is easy to chose an outfit! My children noticed and complimented me on my new outfits.

Nina was very helpful after our session and provided me with kind feedback answering my questions when I sent her pictures of items I bought or outfits I put together.

I will certainly use Nina’s services again and ask her to provide me with a lookbook at the next change of season.

Nina is personable, kind & knowledgeable
27/06/22 - Gill

When I booked a colour analysis, a wardrobe detox and an online shop with Nina, I felt a bit overwhelmed about a stranger critiquing my clothes and what I wore. I needn't have worried. Nina is personable, kind and knowledgeable about style and it was a delight to spend time in her company. The online shop I received two days' later was easy to navigate and opened my eyes to brands I would never have dreamed of wearing. I started my consultation by telling Nina I hated clothes shopping. In hindsight, I hated not knowing what suited me and what colours I should wear. Here's to more successful shopping trips. Thanks Nina!

Nina has helped build my confidence
13/06/22 - Sarah

A friend referred Nina to me after I’d just moved house and I realised how many clothes I had and how few I felt I had to wear! After a stressful time moving and some health issues I wanted to do something to make me feel back under control and my wardrobe felt like a good place to start. 

Nina was so friendly and approachable and took time to understand what I needed. After looking at colours that suited me - some of which I would never have looked at before - we went through my wardrobe and kept the pieces that really worked. Nina quickly sent me through a capsule online shopping with a beautiful, flexible wardrobe I could dress up and down for work and home, and gave me honest and quick feedback by WhatsApp and alternative options if pieces didn’t quite suit my shape. I now have a much smaller wardrobe of clothes which make getting dressed in the morning so easy. 

I loved them so much I asked Nina to help with a fashion fix for my summer holiday - I have never packed so easily and with so little stress! Thanks Nina for helping me build confidence and taking some of the stress out of my day!

Nina’s expertise has given me the confidence to refresh my style
10/05/22 - Fiona

With a wardrobe full of clothes but constantly feeling like I never had the right outfit and a general sense that, while my life had moved on, my wardrobe hadn’t, I contacted Nina for a complete wardrobe overhaul, and I am so glad I did.  Nina’s honest, approachable and, most importantly, fun approach to fashion and styling means the money I have invested really has been so well spent.  Following an extensive wardrobe detox, online shop and styling session I now have a carefully curated wardrobe full of fabulous clothes and so many outfits to choose from.  It is testament to Nina’s expertise and understanding of what suits a person and their lifestyle that some of my favourite new clothes are ones I would never have had the confidence to choose myself or would have felt at a loss as to how I should style them.  I am so excited to wear my new wardrobe and so grateful to Nina for giving me the confidence to refresh my style.

I’m so pleased I made this investment in myself
27/04/22 - Lizzy

Nina has done a wardrobe detox with me and made me two look books for different seasons. It’s been amazing to work with someone so approachable, knowledgeable and reassuring. I genuinely feel excited about my wardrobe options now and look forward to getting dressed each day. I’ve become more confident in trying new styles, shopping for myself and putting together new outfits. I was apprehensive going into this but getting rid of a large number of items I just wasn’t wearing, and didn’t suit me, has been really freeing. I’m so pleased I made this investment in myself, it’s really really changed how I view my wardrobe and was money well spent.

I’ve loved having your brilliant advice
03/04/22 - Emma

Just a note to say thank you for your styling appointment and look book. It is so much more than being about clothes. It’s investing in yourself almost in the same way as a beauty regime. It’s about personal branding, confidence and empowering women. I loved having your brilliant advice which has changed the way I think about shopping but more importantly not overthinking every little piece of your wardrobe and maximising it’s effectiveness overall. Your services are testament to a change in shopping overall and how busy you are shows it!

I would recommend anyone needing a clothes refresh to contact Nina
28/03/22 - Sue

I first approached Nina in March as I was feeling at a loss as to what to wear. Having always been in full-time employment I knew what to wear for work. Then a year ago I was made redundant and this had such a big impact on me. It wasn’t only my confidence that was knocked. I also seemed to lose my way with regard to what colours, styles of clothes suited me anymore.

I arranged for Nina to carry out a style package with me and I haven’t looked back! This included a colour analysis that transformed the way I now think about colours that suit me. Gone are the old insipid colours and along came the bright pinks and reds that I never had the confidence to wear but loved on others. With Nina’s help we also decluttered my wardrobe and deposed of all those clothes I had been holding onto ‘just in case’, that were the wrong colour or just needed recycling because they were definitely past their best. I have to admit this was all a bit overwhelming. But with Nina’s sensitive support and encouragement I started to enjoy the process.

Then came the exciting bit. The arrival of the email containing my new style book full of lovely items for me to order and wear. I just needed to click on the link and it took straight to where I could order the garments – so easy. Nina then came back and showed me how to put all the clothes together into workable outfits that fit my new lifestyle as small business owner, grandmother and a much more relaxed me. Nina even send across photographs of the outfits so that I didn’t forgot what to wear with what.

Through out the whole process, Nina has been very sensitive and supportive. She is very experienced at what she does and maintains a friendly professional approach. I would recommend anyone needing a clothes refresh to contact Nina. You wont regret it!

A great investment!
23/03/22 - Carrie

I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday’s styling session where we went through all my online shop pieces. You really helped me see how to get the most use out of all the items. I particularly appreciated how you made sure every item was totally right, and even if I loved a piece, if it wasn’t a good fit for me then you were clear it should be returned. (And I loved the fact you sent me ideas for replacements - which I’ve already ordered!)

For anyone who is starting out their styling journey with you, I would always recommend a styling follow up with their items (keep all the tags on, and all the packaging so you can return anything!). Start with the items you aren’t sure about and Nina will help you figure out what will work hard for you! It’s a great investment!

I’ve been feeling super sassy
18/03/22 - Christina

I just wanted to say thank you so much for your time on Tuesday. It’s always great fun spending time with you, and I really appreciate what you have done for me as a result of sorting out my wardrobe. As much as it is fun, you also manage to combine great humour, warmth and honesty in the mix and it's such an uplifting feeling - I've been feeling super sassy in my outfits this week and that’s down to you.

I am really happy with my wardrobe
28/02/22 - Paul

I knew I needed an overhaul of my wardrobe but lack time and inclination from shopping. Nina’s mens service was straightforward, to the point and her shopping list was a quick and easy way for me to sort out a new wardrobe where everything goes together and just works. Really happy with everything she suggested and now much more confident in my choices going forward.

I feel genuinely excited getting up and getting dressed!
07/01/22 - Beth

My husband kindly surprised me with the complete style package for my birthday after hearing me complain about my style rut. After having two children quite close together, I felt like I had completely lost my sense of style and really struggled to know what to buy and what suited me.

Nina arrived at my house and first she completed my colour analysis and then we moved to my wardrobe. We removed everything and went through each piece deciding if it was for the charity shop or to keep. This process was extremely useful and after the process I realised I only wore a couple of items and I lacked staple pieces and I especially had no colour in my wardrobe. After the consultation Nina sent me my look book which compiled of around 20 pieces which seamlessly worked together. After receiving all my pieces, I was so impressed at how each item suited me and my body shape. I am enjoying so much putting pieces together and it really has given me a new found confidence. I feel genuinely excited getting up and getting dressed! I also have more confidence shopping for other pieces, and will definitely save me money in the long term by avoiding pieces that don’t actually suit me. Thank you so much Nina!

I feel much more confident with my style now
16/12/21 - Alexa

Nina has been a really, really fantastic help to me! With her wardrobe detox she helped me to de-clutter my wardrobe and say goodbye to pieces I hadn’t worn in ages, wasn’t going to wear, didn’t suit me, or I realised I didn’t even like. The Look Book of clothes and accessories tailored for me that Nina subsequently sent through introduced me to stores I’d never heard of and styles I hadn’t considered wearing - and she mixed and matched so many pieces that it felt a versatile and good-value wardrobe.

Thanks to Nina, my knowledge has really grown about what colours and styles suit me and where to look for the right pieces. I’ve also enjoyed matching some of my existing pieces to the new pieces I’ve bought, which she also considered when designing my Look Book. Nina’s follow-up support by email has been excellent - prompt, helpful, enthusiastic and really helped with my confidence to wear my new wardrobe. A thoroughly satisfied customer!

Nina put me totally at ease!
4/12/21 - Mari

I've had my colours done twice before but it never felt right, but I think Nina was spot on and I'm very happy with my diagnosis. She really knows her stuff and has trained with the very best. She did a wardrobe detox putting everything into yes, no, and put it to one side for a while and see how much you wear/miss it. And I love her style - the minute I saw a photo of her in chunky chelsea boots and skirt I knew she was the one for me. She gave me some good pointers on what to wear and sent me some links to items, and has been really helpful after the consultation too if I've had a questions. Nina's such a lovely warm friendly person who put me totally at my ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am so grateful for the time spent with Nina!
10/11/21 - Kristen

Towards the end of maternity leave with my first baby, I reached out to Nina for help. My life (and my body!) had changed. I only wore the same few outfits, which resulted in a closet full of unused clothes. I am SO grateful I had a morning with Nina. We started with a colour consultation, which was so fun and useful. Next, Nina helped me go through my closet, considering my new lifestyle, personal style, and the colours that suit me best. Nina is down-to-earth and personable. She's honest and direct, while at the same time non-judgemental. You can tell she's an expert! After a few short hours, I had five large trash bags to donate. I save so much time and energy each day getting ready in a closet that I LOVE!

Nina got me out of my style rut!
26/07/21 - Rachel

I love clothes and enjoy buying new things but over the last couple of years I was really in a style rut with lots of clothes but wearing wearing only a limited few. Nina assessed my colour palette, helped me clear out a very cluttered wardrobe and then gave me her personal shopping recommendations. It has been so exciting discovering new looks, colours and brands and beginning to create a proper capsule wardrobe with key pieces. I am excited about clothes again and have been delighted with the new pieces that are arriving. A great experience and I can highly recommended Nina to help you on your style journey.

Getting myself ‘Nina-ed’ is the best thing I’ve done!
28/06/21 - Madeleine

Getting myself 'Nina-ed' is the best thing I've done all year. I've always been quite into clothes and fashion but found myself in a bit of a rut and Nina really helped me out of it. Having my 'colours done' was a revelation, and Nina also explained what sort of cuts and fabrics also suit me, and having that framework has helped me declutter my clothes and feel confident in investing in new pieces which all work really well together. I also have a particular interest in sustainability and Nina pointed me towards some new brands and websites I didn't previously know about so that was also great. Thank you for everything Nina!

Nina gave me my style and confidence back!
22/05/21 - Debbie

The minute Nina walked through the door I felt relaxed and at ease! I have never loved shopping, never been sure what suits me, what colours suit me, I was basically useless!!
Nina cleared my wardrobe of all the rubbish I have ever brought 🤣 and we had a clean slate!! I now have a lovely capsule wardrobe that I can make lots of outfits from, I know what to buy in what colours it's all so much easier!!! Thank you Nina!

If you are stuck in a fashion rut then Nina is your saviour!
11/05/21 - Helen

I would highly recommend Nina to anyone stuck in a fashion rut and looking for a style update. I used her wardrobe detox and online shop services, with a follow up styling appointment. It was fun, cathartic and very effective! I am looking forward to returning to Nina for an Autumn/Winter update later this year as I loved the process and the end results so much.

My wardrobe now brings a smile to my face!
26/04/21 - Jane

After seeing lots of recommendations for Nina on the Harpenden network, I asked Nina if she could come and do my colours.

I found the experience enlightening and made me realise there are colours I can wear that I have never even considered before - Lilac being one of them!

After the colours, I spoke to Nina about my wardrobe... having recently returning to work after maternity leave, I realised my wardrobe had slipped - my old clothes didn’t fit, I couldn’t wear maternity clothes anymore and the same old jeans and jumper combo simply looked tired.

Nina quickly did an online shopping list for me with a lookbook - all very exciting albeit slightly overwhelming ordering so much online as I always used to buy in store, but it was very much needed. Nina then came back the following week once it had all arrived to help me style it and now I have so many different outfits that bring a smile to my face and make me feel more like me again!

Thank you Nina!

It’s been a revelation!
09/11/20 - Rachael

I had a wonderful experience with Nina from Edits-Styling. I’ve been meaning to get my colours done for ages and finally made some time for myself and booked Nina in.

It was such a fun and interesting session. I was surprised to see first-hand how the various colours made such a difference to my complexion and suddenly things started to makes sense - that’s why that cream top just never looked quite right and why that pastel bag never really worked - and I was pleased that many of the strong colours I’m often drawn to were because they suited my skin tone and hair.  

I’m usually in black, because it’s easy and without risk, but finding out my colour palette unexpectedly gave me a sense of freedom to choose colour. It was like being given the secret code to wearing colours. Now I don’t need to wonder if the top I’m buying will make me look pallid, or if that jacket will drain me, because if I stick to my Winter palette they won’t! 

I was also very much in need of a new coat. My current one fave was getting worn out, but I just hadn’t had any luck finding a coat that fit and suited me. I had ordered so many coats online from various shops in all sorts of styles and fabrics and I just had to keep sending them back because they all simply looked awful. I was very disheartened, as I just felt fat and frumpy, and resigned myself to wearing my same coat another year, even though the fur was starting to get ratty and the pockets were held on with safety pins! 

Then Nina came on board and, after having a chat about my body shape and height (I’m buxom and only 1.5m) and my preferences (pockets, zips, a hood), she found me five great coats to choose from, and easily within my budget, including a bold scarlet one that I never would have chosen but looked fab on. I ended up buying the scarlet coat together with another chic quilted coat and I have had so many compliments on them both, especially the scarlet one which so many people have said really suits me! 

I feel a lot happier and comfortable in colours and I’m so pleased to have some new coats that actually suit me and look great! It’s been a revelation! Thank you Nina!

I love my wardrobe

I had a friend recommend Nina to me for a wardrobe detox. I was going through a big period of transition in my life, relocating abroad and going back to work full time so I had Nina in to give me a massive wardrobe overhaul.

First, I had my colours done and learnt which colours suited me. Next, we went through all my clothes and made piles to throw out, donate to charity, and to sell on eBay. She helped me cull the items that didn’t suit me (colour-wise and shape-wise) and to let go some of the things I’d been holding onto for ages but never actually wearing.

I also had Nina do an online shop for me and ended up keeping about 90% of the things she suggested. And, I now feel more confident to chose items that work for me instead of against me. I love my wardrobe and am excited about choosing what to wear, whereas my wardrobe had previously felt very tired. Thanks Nina for all your help and guidance!

I now have a wardrobe full of clothes that suit me
12/02/20 - Gretta

I booked the Style Package with Nina because I felt a bit lost with what to wear.  I had LOADS of clothes but always felt I had nothing to wear and was sick of wearing the same things (which I didn't even really like that much) all the time.  I was frustrated that whenever I tried to buy/wear something new, I never seemed to have the right things to go with it (including coats and footwear) or I just couldn't pull an outfit together in a way that made me look and feel like I wanted to, for some reason. I wasn't even sure what shops I should be looking in, as a Woman in my early 40’s, I wasn't ready to give up but had really fallen out of love with fashion and styling.

When Nina came over, we discussed all of this and I felt confident that she really understood what I needed from her input.  Nina noted my needs in terms of my size, shape and lifestyle and then got to work on determining the best colours for me.  I had already done this online (although had not really taken it on board when purchasing new clothes, clearly!) and it was still useful to do it 'in the flesh' with an expert.  Then we went through all the items in my wardrobe.  WOW!  This was a real eye-opener for me and it felt quite liberating to build up such a huge pile of clothes to send to charity, leaving me with a very sparse wardrobe indeed.  I warn you - Nina is brutally honest... but not in an unkind or insensitive way... kind of like the style-savvy best friend we all wish we had, who only has our best interest at heart.  I had said I was totally up for getting rid of anything because I thought this would be the best way to get the most out of Nina's input and I know that, if I hadn't been happy to do that, I could have done a less intense cull of my existing items.  Nina even showed me how I could style together the things I had left in my wardrobe, which gave everything a new lease of life

Following this initial session, I was really excited about receiving my 'online shop' from Nina.  Because I was like a child waiting for Christmas, Nina even took pity on me and got it to me extra quickly!  I liked nearly everything that Nina had selected for me and got busy with my credit card!  In most cases, even if I wasn't quite sure about something, I brought it so I could try it and see. 

I followed this up with a styling session at home in which Nina went through all the clothes I'd brought from her recommendations and helped me put them together with each other and the things I already had in my wardrobe (post-cull!) so that I was confident to style outfits that were practical and looked good on me. She even took some photos for me so I could remember some of the ways to combine the different pieces. She also guided me in identifying any items I had brought (from her recommendations or my own new purchases) that weren't quite right in the flesh, so I could send them back - which was really helpful. That process has made me more confident in taking a critical stance to anything I purchase going forward.  In addition, Nina then went away to identify some new recommendations to plug any gaps in my wardrobe that still remained.  As expected, these new recommendations were also superb and I have kept nearly all of them.  I would really recommend that anyone who books the Style Package arranges an extra styling session as a really useful addition - it was well worth it.  Even since then, Nina has checked in with me to see if I need any more help and has been really supportive throughout the whole process.   

I now have a wardrobe of clothes that I know fit well, suit me and all go together (you have no idea how freeing this is!).  I feel confident to style outfits and choose new clothes when I need to add more... and I know Nina is just an email away if I need help.  I would really recommend Nina to anyone who is stuck in a style rut, is not quite sure how to put outfits together in a fresh and interesting way or stares into their (very full) wardrobe whilst claiming that they have nothing to wear. 

I’m loving my new wardrobe & getting lots of compliments
17/01/20 - Danielle

Nina’s style package was fantastic from start to finish. After having twins a few years ago I had lost my style and needed to find myself again. Starting a new job made me realise all my work clothes from five years ago were tired and too young. I would look in my wardrobe and there was nothing I wanted to wear. 

Nina came to my house and we did my colours first, which was eye opening! It’s amazing to see how the colours transform your features, some brought out the blue in my eyes whilst others washed out my complexion.  Nina and I went through my  wardrobe throwing out anything that was the wrong colour, shape or style for me now. There were so many things I had lurking in the back of my wardrobe that I hadn’t worn in years but had a vague notion I might wear again one day but never did.

Nina put together an online look book and shopping list so I had hours of fun ordering clothes and trying them on in the comfort of my own home. 

Now my wardrobe is so much easier to navigate and I can mix and match the pieces as I know they fit together with colour and style. I get so many compliments and love wearing all my new pieces! Thank you Nina! 

Nina helped me & my husband with our wardrobes
14/01/20 - Felicity

Nina has helped both myself and my husband restyle our entire wardrobes, with the result that we both really enjoy getting dressed for work/play/relaxing now. 

As busy professionals, it has saved us so much time to have someone put together a shop for us, and Nina has given us both confidence to try different colours and brands so that, going forward, we have confidence in shopping for ourselves.

Nina herself is a walking advert for her approach: if a busy mum of three can look that good then it’s worth following her advice!  We both enjoyed the whole experience and we would thoroughly recommend her services.  

Nina gave me the confidence to try something new
22/11/19 - Vicki

In just one personal shopping session Nina really changed the way I think about my wardrobe. My staple outfit is skinny jeans and I am keen to escape from them! Nina gave me different options that I could wear without feeling too ‘dressed up’ for the school run but smart enough for meeting clients. I was amazed at how many outfit options she could create from one skirt. She has such expertise, not only did she give me lots of honest advice on how to style my wardrobe she gave me the confidence to try something new. I also really enjoyed it! Thank you Nina.

The whole experience has been life-changing
23/10/19 - Clare

I can highly recommend the style package with personal stylist Nina. It had been a long time since I’d invested any time, money or effort into my wardrobe. I’d tried personal styling experiences in some of the big department stores with little success, and in hindsight I can understand why. The staff in these stores have little time to really get to grips with who you are and your lifestyle. Nina came to my home and over a cup of tea we had a good chat about what I wanted to achieve. She asked questions about how I spend my spare time and what my work is like so she got a real sense of what my wardrobe needed to do for me.

We did my colours and then we got to work on my wardrobe. It’s quite amazing how much we got through in 3 hours and I’d say we got rid of around 80% of it, which was terrifying and liberating in equal measure! We came up with a shopping list and a few days later, we followed it up with a personal shopping trip which was brilliant. With the knowledge of my colours, how I wanted to present myself and the shopping list we were able to really hone in on what was going to work. I’m now left with a much smaller wardrobe, but it’s considered and edited. New jumpers go with jeans I already owned, or over new dresses. A red belt adds some fabulous colour, and a bright pink scarf has revitalised and an old coat. It has made dressing in the mornings fun and something to get excited about.

Nina is such a friendly, fun and energetic person to be around and the whole experience has been life-changing. I can’t recommend it enough.

I am so grateful to Nina
10/10/19 - Rebecca

I heard about Nina from a friend who raved constantly about the difference that Nina’s styling had made, not just to her wardrobe, but to her confidence and her life!

I think I am similar to a lot of 40-something working mums. I just don’t have a lot of headspace or energy left to think about myself and what I’m going to wear and my wardrobe has suffered as a result. It got to the point that I felt like I had literally nothing nice to wear at all, and constantly felt embarrassed while out and about, and at work, about how out-dated and uncoordinated my clothes were. Although I don’t consider myself a vain, or particularly fashion-conscious person, these feelings were starting to really affect my self-confidence and overall state of mind. While I didn’t want to start looking over-dressed or ridiculously preened/like I’d spent ages thinking about my “look”, I did just want to look and feel nice again, like I used to when I was younger!

So I finally bit the bullet and got in touch with Nina. I was nervous about doing so for a couple of reasons. I didn’t want her to try and dress me up in very fashionable clothes that I would just feel silly in, or look out of place in, in the down-to-earth village where I live. I didn’t want to end up with a wardrobe full of going out clothes that I have little occasion to wear. And I didn’t have a huge budget so couldn’t afford to be spending thousands of pounds on new clothes from expensive brands, being decidedly more “high-street” in my shopping preferences these days.

4 weeks after our meet, I am so, so glad that I did take that step! I had just one hour with Nina, where we discussed things like my lifestyle, what I thought I needed and where I thought I was going wrong. I showed her some of my existing clothes and we did some colour analysis, which was a really key part of the process. Critically for me, we also discussed the types of shops and brands I thought I could afford at the moment.

The very next day (!), Nina came back to me with a multi-page PDF document with a containing everything I would need to get me through autumn/winter. It had literally everything on there that I needed – shoes/boots, coats, jumpers, jeans, daytime dresses, skirts, and a couple of evening outfits, as well as handbag and jewellery suggestions. Everything she suggested coordinated with everything else, and all of the pieces were extremely easy to dress up or down, depending on what else you wore with them, which just made everything so versatile.

I actually can’t believe how well Nina met my brief. I am so unbelievably thrilled with how “wearable” everything is and how with relatively few purchases, I’ve got a completely new set of both daytime and more dressy outfits. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford to buy everything that Nina suggested for me (although I would have loved to), but I now realise that it wasn’t necessary to do that immediately. However, I will definitely continue to refer to her PDF for the rest of the season, asking for certain pieces for Christmas and keeping a keen eye out for any of her suggestions that go into the sales. Where I’ve purchased items that haven’t suited me (I’ve taken pictures and sent them to Nina), she has quickly given me advice and sourced alternative pieces where relevant.

I really am so grateful to Nina for everything she’s done for me. She is amazing value for money, she’s kind and she’s patient. Although I am loving all of my new purchases, I also can’t wait for next summer to come around, so we can repeat the process then and she can transform my summer wardrobe to the extent that she’s transformed my winter wardrobe. Thank you so much Nina, I would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone.

I now have a wardrobe I absolutely love!
04/09/19 - Christina

I found Nina through a chance encounter with Google and I’m so glad I did. She tailored a Styling Package for me that included a Wardrobe Detox and an Online Shop, as well as helped me craft a capsule wardrobe for a stressful event that I needed to look right for but didn’t have the head space to think about what to wear.

Nina has an incredible warmth; as soon as she walked into my home I felt completely at ease. We chatted and she asked some questions, and very quickly I could tell that she really “got” what I was looking for, who I am and how I want my clothes to express that, and she was able to put into words what I wasn’t; her approach to my wardrobe felt very bespoke.

As a result she was able to quickly unpick some of my anxieties about my wardrobe to get me thinking differently about what I already had and what I was holding onto (and why) long passed its usefulness. Having spent months de-cluttering my clothes alone and feeling like I was making very little progress, we made great strides in the first couple of hours. It felt like a weight had been lifted letting go of stuff that I didn’t wear and wasn’t really the me I wanted to present to the world.

Nina was skilful at identifying the gaps in my wardrobe, and her online shop was thoughtful and considered (as well as being beautifully presented). Her obvious passion for shopping one’s own wardrobe and making sound, ethical choices where possible really resonated with me. The sessions themselves flew by and were a lot of fun. As a result I have a wardrobe that I absolutely love, and that makes me excited to put my best foot forward every morning.

Absolutely thrilled with my new wardrobe!
01/07/19 - Katie

I’ve been meaning to drop you a note all week.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new wardrobe and am in fact just back from a day in London with my son wearing my jump suit. I felt great in it, paired with the canvas Vejas - stylish but really comfortable and practical which was absolutely the brief.

I ended up buying most of the wardrobe update options you gave me and the ones I didn’t were mostly because of sizing, however because you provided plenty of options I have lots of other things.

I’ve been finding getting dressed in the morning so easy and have barely had jeans on at all as the Hush chinos and the Boden trousers are both a lovely loose fit and feel light and cool so are exactly the sort of alternative I was looking for.

I’ve surprised myself by not touching the bags of clothes we took out of my wardrobe. I haven’t even been tempted which is testament to how much I’m enjoying my new wardrobe.

I also got my hair done last week and he put some cooler ash through it and I think it looks much better.

My absolute favourite piece was the whistles dress though. It’s so comfortable, flattering and stylish. I’d never have picked it out by myself but I really love it - I wish I could wear it every day. I feel great in it!

A huge thank you to you. I’m amazed at how in just a few hours you absolutely got to grips with both the brief, where I was struggling and identified my style and the look I was trying to achieve. I’ve found the whole experience to be a massive confidence boost and a relief to not be agonising over what to wear each morning and then regretting my selection by 11am.

Thanks again for everything. I think I’ll probably be in touch again as we move into autumn to perhaps get some help with another online shop for the new season.

I’ve also given your details to several people who’ve commented on my new clothes so you may be hearing from a few of my friends in the coming weeks!

Thanks again! xx

I was paralysed everytime I went into a clothes shop!
25/06/19 - Sue

Leaving work 4 years ago also meant leaving behind my "corporate uniform". With an ever diminishing wardrobe and being paralysed by indecision every time I ventured into a clothes shop, I was really in need of help.

Nina's style package and a fabulous personal shop later and I have not only the start of a sensible but stylish wardrobe but also a renewed interest in clothes. Focusing on a small number of colours from my colour palette to start with is allowing me to make confident choices and makes the whole shopping experience easier, quicker and much more rewarding.

I have had so many compliments!
17/06/19 - Gina

It has been such a massive eye opener! I have sent lots of my orders back but kept some really lovely things! I have had so many compliments that I am almost offended - I must have looked so bad in my old clothes! People think I’ve changed my hair or lost weight, they can’t quite put their finger on what’s changed but nearly everyone I meet says something nice. Who knew wearing different colours could do so much! I am so glad I had it done, I am enjoying shopping again and I am firmly out of my ‘rut’. The DPD driver thinks I’ve gone mad as I have had so many deliveries. I don’t even remember ordering some of it!

I’m so happy and thank you! My colour booklet is now permanently in my handbag (also new, and brown! ). Thanks so much it has been life changing!

Contacting Nina has been the best investment I have made!
10/06/19 - Jenni

I can honestly say that my consultation with Nina has totally transformed my attitude to clothes shopping, my feelings about what I wear and, most importantly, my style confidence. I had spent several painful days trying to detox my wardrobe over Christmas, agonising about what to keep and ending up with minimal change. In the space of 2 hours with Nina I had my eyes opened to what suits me and filled 8 bags for the charity shop--and I don't regret getting rid of any of it! My aims have been to buy less, shop my wardrobe and invest in timeless, environmentally sustainable pieces that can be styled in multiple ways. I'm so delighted with how my wardrobe looks now and I'm 100% more confident in the clothes I'm wearing. Contacting Nina has really been the best investment in my appearance and I plan to make ongoing use of her services in the future. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I am delighted with my new wardrobe!
26/04/19 - Natalie

I’d spent the last 20 months on a fashion detox. Only buying new clothes where it was completely necessary, in a stand against fast fashion and the environmental and social impact it causes. As a new summer approached, I realised that I needed a few new items, but didn’t want to revert back to my old ways of buying in volume, seduced by new fashions and only really wearing 50% of what i’d brought.

I’d met Nina a few years ago and she’d done my “colours” at a friends house. So I asked her if she could help me pick out a few new outfits for this summer. With a view to building a capsule wardrobe, incorporating existing clothes that would see me through the next few summers.

I’m delighted with the outcome. Nina has married a new timeless approach with “my style”. I am relived that I now won’t be tempted to waste hours online trawling through websites and just enjoy my new super stylish, sustainable wardrobe.

Nina, you are a genius!
07/03/19 - Carrie

Working with Nina has been the best investment I have made in myself for years. The Style Package meant I learned what colours suited me best and then we edited my wardrobe together. Nina is great to work with. Her creativity and a sense of the style I wanted to create, mean I now have a wardrobe of great (affordable!) pieces. I love picking my outfit each day and the complements it attracts! Thanks Nina!

I feel much more confident since seeing Nina
02/03/19 - Abby

Meeting with Nina was so relaxed and easy. She got to know me really well and made me feel very at ease when discussing how I wanted my wardrobe to look!

I enjoyed the consultation and felt confident that I only got rid of clothes that didn’t do me any favours! Since Nina did my online shop I have had lots of comments about the new clothes and feel much more confident in how I look. 

I will be coming back for the Winter wardrobe!

My wardrobe has been transformed
27/0/19 - Jane

I used to open my wardrobe door and stare at the huge number of disorganised clothes inside. My clothes were tired and uninspiring, and I was bored with same look every day (mostly jeans and a plain top!). Not knowing what to wear, I was thrilled to receive a Nina Edits Style package voucher for my birthday. Nina was lovely. She did my colours and advised me on the style of clothes that suited my figure. She helped me go through my clothes and decide what to keep based on my skin tone and shape. I was very happy with the choices we made and super excited to receive my online shop.  My wardrobe has been transformed and, thanks to Nina, I now have the confidence to try new styles, colours and combinations to create stylish outfits even on the school run. Thanks Nina!

I have had so many compliments
25/02/19 - Lyn

I received a voucher for an hour’s styling consultation with Nina. 

Without spending a penny on any extra clothes, Nina enabled me to upscale my wardrobe without losing any of my personal style. She gave me advice on what to get rid of and what to keep, what styles suit my colouring and body shape and helped me organise my wardrobe. Gone are the days agonising what to wear as I have outfits now instead of a bunch of random clothes. I wear them with more confidence. 

I have had so many compliments about my outfits and I haven’t bought any new clothes.

If you’re feeling in a bit of a rut about your appearance but can’t afford or find the motivation to shop for new clothes, I recommend Nina’s services. 

Make the appointment and edit away. 

I wish I’d done this years ago!
16/02/19 - Mrs G

Having observed a fresh style look in a friend following a style makeover with Nina from Edits-Styling, I added it to my birthday list.  As the appointment neared, it was with trepidation that I opened to door to Nina to take apart my ageing wardrobe… 

The reality was far from fearful – it was a delightful, fun and productive experience! From the moment we engaged to firstly identify my key colour palette – which presented nice surprises on colours I thought for years didn’t suit but naturally did – an eye opener - …to then take the stairs to open up and “cleanse” the wardrobe. 

The 3 hours flew by, leaving possibly 70% of my wardrobe ready for charity bags (local charity shop donations were high that weekend ..).  transforming my very confused multi style wardrobe into a simpler, sharper view of some of the great outfits I have – easier to select from  - developing a separate work wardrobe versus weekend great idea.. –clearly showed the gaps and focus for spring shopping. 

Wish I’d done this years ago.  Nina’s friendly, diplomatic but firm style was just what I needed to give me confidence in colour and style. Highly recommend anyone to give it a go!

Nina has worked her magic in my wardrobe!
15/02/19 - Helen

Thank you Nina for working some magic over my wardrobe. I don't think I realised quite how much I had that I didn't wear or that didn't suit me.

Our session really helped me organise my wardrobe into work and play and better defined what to wear for each.

I've made some fab purchases from the online shop, some things I never would have looked at but now love and get heaps of compliments on.

If anyone is looking for direction with how to structure their wardrobe or for some new inspiration then I can highly recommend Nina! 

Nina has helped me feel stylish again!
22/01/19 - Eleanor

As a new mum I was struggling to put together outfits that made me feel good again. My wardrobe was full of black stretchy or baggy clothes bought during and after pregnancy. 

Nina came to the rescue and helped me to sort through it all and start to re-discover my style. 

Her advice was gentle and practical but also matter of fact about what suits my colouring and shape which made it easier to let go of lots of things I’d been hanging on to. 

After two sessions my wardrobe is now easier to navigate and I have a collection of go-to outfits that help me to feel stylish again! Thanks Nina!

I would highly recommend Nina!
06/12/18 - Catherine

I first met Nina at a mini retreat where she hosted a fashion session. Her passion, ability and friendliness were clear from the outset and I promptly made a booking for colour analysis for me and my Mum as a special treat. Having had two babies in short succession and living in baggy jumpers and jeans for several years I was in dire need of a wardrobe refresh. Colour analysis was definitely a good place to start. We had a great time during the consultation and although we hadn’t been too far off with the colours we already wore, the analysis opened up a whole range of new colours neither of us would have thought we could wear. It’s made shopping and accessorising so much simpler and I love having the swatch book to check the colour is right before I buy. Would highly recommend Nina’s services.

Nina has given me my confidence back!
03/10/18 - Jen

After working in fashion for years I thought I knew a thing or two about what to wear and what suited me.  With three small kids, a change of career and 40 fast approaching I began to get tired of my wardrobe and shopping. I always bought the same safe colours (grey and black) and never tried anything new. My wardrobe was boring and uninspiring.  

I called Nina who came to do my colours and gave me huge insight into what suits me and why. I never thought I could wear some of the bright colours she showed me but they actually really suited me! Nina is super knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She has years of experience which is clear to see.  Shes very professional and even worked around my crying one year old in my appointment! 

I now find shopping so much easier. I can narrow down colour choices easily and have bought some bright new items already! People are commenting on them and how much they suit me which is a great feeling! It’s given me my confidence back and the ability to buy the right thing which is what I have been lacking in recent years.  Many thanks Nina, highly recommend you to anyone in my position! Or others for that matter!!

Having an expert eye has really transformed by wardrobe!
26/09/18 - Lysa

Working with Nina to review my wardrobe was like a breath of fresh air - giving me the confidence to remove things I haven’t worn or wasn’t happy with to make way for a streamlined selection of clothes which I know work well together and I feel comfortable and confident wearing.  I now don’t have to think about what to wear!  Nina also did an online shop for me where she recommended items to fill the gaps in my wardrobe and elevate it - I loved every single thing I ordered and have already worn them far more than clothes I’ve chosen myself.  Having an expert eye has really transformed by wardrobe!

Making the most out of your wardrobe for life!
24/09/18 - Jennie

I have always loved clothes and fashion so I cannot believe it has taken me this long to have my colours done! It was super easy as Nina came to my house and we had a fun hour in front of the mirror trying lots of different colours against my skin tone. She picked out my neutral base colours and then some brighter colours that I can use for accessories plus you get your own swatch book to cross reference when making new purchases.I did ask Nina to create an autumn lookbook  for me so I would also know what shape and style of clothes would suit me. She gave me lots of great ideas and I was able to do an online shop hassle free.

I am definitely enjoying wearing more blues and other brighter colours instead of the usual black and greys. I highly recommend Nina and her services so you can make the most out of your wardrobe for life! 

A great confidence boost!
18/09/18 - Emma

I highly recommend booking in with Nina at Edit's. I scheduled to have my colours done and a wardrobe cleanse. I've never been confident in my wardrobe choices and steered away from bright colours and patterns never sure what suited me. After having children and maturing, I was always looking at other women and admiring their dress choices, but although I knew I was making the wrong choices, I wasn't sure where to make adjustments. Nina made the session fun and relaxed. We worked through my existing wardrobe and found which colours and cuts in tops, dresses, trousers and jeans suited me. After the session she sent a detailed email suggesting a few additions to bring more variety and colour into my selections. I have a swatch palette to take shopping to be sure to stay with the complementary colours for my skin and hair tone. It was both an enjoyable session and a confidence boost. Thank you so much Nina.x

The compliments haven't stopped!
05/08/18 - Camilla

I've been contemplating tackling my wardrobe since I met Nina when I had my colours done a couple of years ago. After going through my colours, this really piqued my interest in sorting out my wardrobe following quite a lack of investment or attention paid to what I was wearing and not quite knowing if what I was buying really suited me. I needed guidance from someone who got me and who I could trust. I wasn't looking to be made over in a different style than I was used to but create a better version of myself. After speaking with my partner, who was also keen, I booked Nina in to come and get us sorted. I really looked forward to Nina's visit, which was mixed with some trepidation about baring all - clothes I had worn time and time again which were nothing exciting but my go to's. Nina was full of energy and passionate, quick to capture what we're like and what we aim to get out of the experience. I was immediately at ease and open to Nina's advice. I found the process effortless, liberating and exciting. Following the wardrobe consultation I took the option to try an online shop from Nina to see what might be suggested for me. I went shopping for these suggestions. The changes I have made so far have made me feel good about myself and the compliments haven't stopped! It's lovely to put on fresh clothes that I am confident in which really suit me and my body shape. I'm excited to go shopping for the next season with Nina and enhance my wardrobe further. I'd completely lost sight of how what you wear makes you feel and it's been such a boost to everyday life. I'm looking forward to how my wardrobe will develop and all the benefits attached to how what I wear will make me feel. Thanks Nina!

I would highly recommend Nina's services
12/07/18 - Rob

My Business Partner and I had a photo shoot for our business. We wanted to present ourselves in the best light possible to get across our personalities. Shopping normally fills me with dread (as with most men), however Nina somehow made this a really enjoyable experience for us both. Nina completely understood the look we were going for. I would highly recommend her services.

Here are some photos from the end result -

I'm not shopping again without taking Nina with me!
12/07/18 - Rob

I actually enjoyed a shopping trip, which isn't something I ever thought would happen! Nina pushed me to try new things just enough without making me feel uncomfortable, and the result was a wardrobe that feels like "me" but sharper and more varied. The session was to prepare for a photoshoot, and the photographer remarked on how well the colours and textures worked on camera. I'm not going shopping again without taking Nina with me!

I loved the whole process!
14/06/18 - Stef

I used to be totally stuck in a rut when it came to clothes and fashion. I would always chose clothes from the same three or four stores and the same – allegedly safe – colours, shapes and items. When a colleague of mine recommended Nina’s services I was terrified at first and it took me several weeks to muster the courage to start the process. But like Nina said when I first got in touch with her: "you have to be in the right mind set in order to through with it". Over time I got quite excited about the idea of finally sorting out my wardrobe. I booked Nina’s colour consultation, wardrobe detox and online shopping package. Nina arrived promptly and completely put me at ease straight away. She brought plenty of props and a beautiful mirror and took me through the various colours step by step to get me to understand which colours did and did not suit me. And this made total sense, seeing which colours just worked and which made my face look totally drained.

After that we went upstairs to sort through my wardrobe. Nina was just the right mix of nice and brutally honest about every item so at the end of the process my wardrobe had considerably diminished – but was quite a liberating process!

The online shop that followed was truly a revelation! The majority of items that Nina recommended for me were the perfect fit, colour and style. I am now left with a wardrobe that includes casual, evening and work outfits which I will be able to wear, style differently and enjoy for years to come.

I loved the whole process and will be back for another consultation for my winter wardrobe this year. I can’t thank you enough Nina for your service – it has made me feel so much happier and more confident about myself!

Thank you Nina xxx

Brilliant from the start!
22/05/18 - Mark

Nina was brilliant from start to finish! I’m not great at clothes shopping as I don’t really know what looks good or bad on me plus not knowing what is fashionable these days! Basically all the hard work is done for you by Nina. We had a consultation which was great to get some insight into which brands, colours, styles, etc would suit me plus a review of my current wardrobe which involved a lot of clearing out – much needed! Just a few days later you receive an “online shop” which has all of Nina’s recommendations. It was so easy to manage as everything is hyper linked and you can get all the buying done in a couple of hours. Nina also checked in with me following the receipt of the clothes to make sure I was happy with the selections. I would definitely recommend Nina and will no doubt use her services again in the future.

Success!

I am not bothered about clothes! But for my job, I need to be. I booked Nina for a men’s style consultation and she was absolutely excellent. We discussed the demands of my City job and the sorts of outfits I might need for different occasions. We also went through the clothes I already own (owned!) and pulled out the items that would continue to work for me. Nina identified items that would complete my wardrobe and sent a personalised “shopping list” of clothes that would be great additions to it. We also ditched a LOT of old items that had built up over the years. It was very cathartic! Her advice was spot-on and I was pleasantly surprised when the personalised list arrived, as she had completely understood what it was that I needed and the sorts of clothes I would actually want to wear. Nina is very friendly and put me - someone who honestly has no idea about clothes! - at ease straight away. Highly recommend.

The best investment I've ever made!
26/02/18 - Nicky

I WISH I'd met Nina years ago. Not only would I have saved myself a ridiculous amount of money and time but also I could have saved my confidence and reduced my stress massively.

It sounds silly but I must have wasted days, weeks, months even of my life standing feeling miserable in front of my ridiculously overstuffed wardrobe not being able to decide what to wear because nothing actually suited/flattered/fitted/complimented me properly. 

So the usual outcome would be me reaching for something oversized and black to cover myself up, I'd then spend all day feeling dowdy, looking bland, feeling rubbish and low in confidence.

So then I'd go shopping online to make myself feel better and of course also because clearly I had nothing to wear and I didn't want a repeat performance of the wardrobe freeze...

But I'd buy the wrong things, things I liked not things that suited me, and then I'd be back in front of the wardrobe panicked and annoyed by the fact that I had nothing to wear!!!

And the money I used to spend trying to get it right!! I was out of control buying anything and everytime thinking I was solving my problem but all I was doing was adding to it.

Thank goodness for Nina. When a friend told me of Nina's services I had actually already put myself on a shopping ban (having bought the same pair of shoes TWICE without even realising) as I was ready for a change but didn't know what to do and how to go about it!

I booked the day off work and Nina came over for a colour consultation and wardrobe detox session, 3 hours in total. It was without a doubt the best shopping investment I have ever made and worth every single penny. 

During the colour consultation, Nina really listened and got to know me. She took time to understand why I'd made contact with her in the first place, what my aims were, my wardrobe challenges, my body confidence issues, spending habits etc. She spent time explaining why certain colours are better for some skin tones than others but better still she showed me. It was eye opening. 

With my correct colours established, we moved on to the wardrobe detox which, having a new found understanding of my colours, was totally liberating! Over 10 bin liners full of clothes later, my wardrobe is now minimal to say the least. I do have some investment to put back in in time and money to plug the gaps but its so much easier now I am focused.  And Nina's services have helped with that too by providing a really comprehensive list of the key pieces I need to complete my wardrobe and where to get them to suit my body shape and budget. My swatch booklet comes everywhere with me now too. I don't know how I ever shopped without it. It's really helped me whittle out what I should and shouldn't buy.

Since seeing Nina, I have not once had a wardrobe freeze. It's a miracle. I'm less stressed choosing what to wear and I have saved so much time and money and can better plan ahead with my outfits. I feel more confident and happier in my choices too which reflects in my mood. I can't believe how down it had made me feel. And not only that, the amount of people who have said to me "wow you look well" "have you been away" etc since I've ditched the wrong colours, its amazing!! 

THANK YOU NINA!

The end result is fantastic!
21/02/18 - Helen

I recently left my job of 13 years to take some time out to focus on time with my family and to get some head space to plan my next career move. This felt like a great opportunity to evaluate all aspects of my life including the way I look and feel about myself so I enlisted the help of Nina for a wardrobe detox. 

It feels great to understand what really suits me and have space in my wardrobe again. I know that everything I put on in the morning now is going to be the right shade and style for my colouring and body shape plus everything matches so it's much easier to put an outfit together. Nina takes the time to understand your lifestyle and what you want to achieve so  while the pieces are on trend they still reflect you as a person. The end result is a shopping list of clothes you are actually going to buy and feel good about wearing.

If only I'd met you years ago!
08/02/18 - Kim

Nina, Just wanted to say a massive thank you. I Just came back from a shopping trip and it was so much more enjoyable. Normally when I shop I end up wanting everything and then feel so torn as I can’t have it all and never know what to choose. Today I had a few things in mind and was able to bypass loads of things as they were either wrong colour or style etc. It made me realise I didn’t want it all and that I just wanted what I needed. I usually come away with a guilty feeling as I’ve bought far to much and don’t need half of it. Not today! I felt really good about what I bought and know I’ll get lots of use out of them and will be able to mix and match with other things in my wardrobe. If only I met you 20 years ago, I would be richer and more stylish. xxxx

The most positive thing I've done for myself in an age!
11/01/18 - Emma

I initially booked a colour analysis with Nina which lead to a much needed wardrobe detox & inspiring style look book.
I found the colour analysis so enlightening & helpful. I now know what colours flatter me the most & the ones that weren't doing me any favours, not only with clothes but make-up too.
I started off embarrassed for Nina to go through my wardrobe & face my expensive & cheap mistakes but she soon put me at ease. I ended up with 2 big bags for the charity shop & a smaller wardrobe but with clothes I liked & could work with.
Shopping is so much quicker & less daunting now as I can just search for the colours that suit me & look for pieces that are missing from my wardrobe.
I really think about what I buy now rather than panic buying something I’m not totally in love with or that won’t go with anything else I already own. This has stopped me from wasting money on clothes & saved me time trawling the internet.
Nina has revived my old enthusiasm & confidence in my style & for shopping.
The whole experience has been so enjoyable, it has really lifted me & got me out of the rut I was in.
I can’t recommend Nina’s services enough.
Thank you so much! X

Colour analysis for two!
10/01/18 - Suzanne

Nina recently did a colour analysis for my friend and I. She came to my house and we had great fun working out our colours. We both had preconceptions about what colours suited us, which in the main were correct. However Nina showed us a much bigger variety of colours that worked for our individual type and also made suggestions for suitable jewellery which was really handy. As an added bonus my friend and I were different types and we managed to make a few swaps from our existing wardrobe. The colour chart that we got was also great as it's portable so you can bring in your bag when you go shopping (already used a couple of times!). Thanks Nina for some good advice!

Nina gave me great confidence
04/01/18 - Jenny

I asked Nina to help me prepare for a head shot photoshoot I was doing as I needed new photos for my coaching business website (www.perpetiel.co.uk) and for my social media profiles.  I wanted to look professional, capable, trustworthy and smart but not unapproachable or too business like (I left the board room years ago!)

Nina came to my home and went through my wardrobe to show me how I could put together different items to create the look I was after – she mixed up items I wouldn’t have considered putting together and they looked great!  Additionally she recommend a few things I could purchase which would work well with my wardrobe and give me more outfits to fit the look I was after.

After our session Nina sent me my ‘look book’ with links to the online shops.  This made it so easy for me to order & try the recommended things straight away.  I kept most of the things I ordered and have worn them lots and lots as they are so versatile and exactly what I needed.  I’m so pleased with them and ultimately they gave me confidence during the photoshoot and I got some fabulous headshots! Thanks Nina!

The best gift I could of asked for!
13/12/17 - Cathy

I heard about Nina through a good friend who had just recently booked in with her for her colours and a wardrobe consultation.  After seeing her excitement and hearing such rave reviews, I decided to take the plunge and treat myself and I am very glad that I did.  My only regret is that I didn't do this many years ago!! I would not only have bought more wisely, but also saved a small fortune in buying the right styles and colours for my skin tone and body shape.

I found the colour consultation incredibly interesting and could visibly see how certain colours either enhanced or drained my features.  The wardrobe consultation resulted in a very therapeutic and much needed de-clutter of ill-fitting and unflattering items.  Finally, the items that Nina recommended I buy going forward were all fantastic and I even managed to get several of them on sale!

I truly believe that this is the best gift I could have asked for and highly recommend to all ladies. 

A fantastic experience!
10/11/17 - Helen

I hosted one of Nina’s colour parties with my friends a couple of months ago and was amazed with the impact that various colours had on me. I soon realised that some of my ‘go to’ colours were draining the colour from me and that I needed a proper look at my wardrobe. Soon afterwards I booked a ‘wardrobe detox’ with Nina. I was excited and nervous at the prospect but really wanted to give it a go. Nina advised me to gather all my clothes (even those lurking in boxes in the loft!) in order that we could do it properly. We spend 2.5 hours detoxing my wardrobe, Nina was brilliant providing lots of tips on colour, cut, fit, and material. She also helped me put together some new outfits from my wardrobe that I wouldn’t have thought of before. It was a very therapeutic exercise – I soon got into it and was quite ruthless – I ended up with 3 bin bags of clothes for the charity shop and a lot of empty hangers!

So you may have guessed it – all my empty hanger meant I needed to buy new clothes so I signed up to an online ‘look book’ with Nina. I received a great online edit of stylish pieces and looks  for casual, work and going out. This edit was great as Nina had chosen clothes that were the right colour, shape and style for me. It was quite exciting as there were some that I would never have considered before. Nina was very helpful during this process and helped make sure I was happy by providing other alternatives for pieces that didn’t fit when I ordered them.

Overall I was very happy with the whole experience, Nina is a really nice lady and has been fantastic throughout the whole experience. I have recommended her to all my friends and I only wish I had done this years ago – it would have saved lots of costly fashion mistakes!

Fantastic mid-life wardrobe re-vamp!
19/10/17 - Clare

Having ‘got rid’ of the kids and feeling like I have entered a new stage of life, I wanted a complete wardrobe update but didn’t know where to start. I have always been a terrible hoarder and my wardrobe and cupboards were bulging.

I had never met Nina before but she was recommended by a friend and I signed up for her full Style Package. I was not disappointed!

We started with a colour analysis to show which colours work for me and are flattering for my skin tone. This then made it much easier to weed out items that had been draining me. Nina also took out clothes that had ‘had their day’ or which looked unflattering and baggy. She works very quickly and decisively, which was great for me, but she is also very easy to talk to and won’t throw an item away if it’s of sentimental value, or if you really love it.

We had soon filled at least 6 bin liners, the detox also included jumpers, coats, belts, shoes and countless numbers of scarves! My wardrobe had been so full that I wore the same old outfits every day as I couldn't see or be bothered to sift through my crammed rails and shelves.

When we had finished I felt great! Nina organised everything that I was keeping into neat sections and showed me how to put my outfits together. She also made notes of things that were missing or needed updating. I was elated the next morning as my wardrobe was so tidy and several nice pieces had been unearthed that I had completely forgotten about.

However, as so many clothes had gone I had several holes which needed filling, so I booked Nina for a Personal Shop in London.

She emailed me her list of suggested items and shops in advance so that we could make the most of our time. We seemed to whirl from shop to shop and I stood in changing rooms while Nina brought me items to try on. I felt quite spoilt and it was so nice having someone running round after me.

This is now 3 weeks later and I am thrilled with all aspects of Nina’s service. I feel confident about which colours to buy, I love my organised wardrobe, and I am extremely happy with all the purchases we made. I have asked Nina’s advice with a couple of other items since our shop, and she has emailed me suggestions, photos and links to follow. It has definitely been money well spent, Thank you Nina!

What a treat to have Nina
09/10/17 - Kate

I decided to try Nina’s services due to a change of job and realisation that I was getting stuck in my Mum uniform of jeans and t-shirts....even at work. The prospect of opening my wardrobe in front of someone I didn’t know, filled me with horror, but Nina made it feel easy. The process of clearing my wardrobe was long overdue and the results felt liberating. Having my colours done was a revelation and has made me much bolder in my choices. And receiving the look book with easy links to buy online, felt like such a treat... a capsule wardrobe just for me. I’m getting compliments on my new wardrobe on an almost daily basis. Thank you Nina!

My wardrobe was a disgrace...
19/07/17 - Sally

My wardrobe was a disgrace… every time I went to have a clear out I would struggle throwing anything out, thinking “maybe I’ll fit into that again someday”, “that would be a useful for work”, “that’s a classic pair of trousers” or “that will be back in fashion one day”… the list of excuses not to part with anything was endless which meant my wardrobe was full to capacity. It was so full, in fact, that I never felt I had anything to wear and would deliberate for ages over what to wear for different events. This went on for years until I finally enrolled the services of Nina’s Edits-Styling and what a difference Nina has made. She made me ruthlessly clear out my wardrobe of items I was previously unable to say goodbye to. She would rightly point out the dust on some items and question me ever wearing them out again. She would look at the colours/shapes of clothes I had and immediately advise me to get rid of them as they were not my colours nor suited my body shape. It was a hugely therapeutic exercise and one I would definitely do again. 8 black bin liners later, my wardrobe became a better organised place with specific areas for work wear, casual wear and evening wear.

I then asked Nina to come up with a range of clothes that would complement what I had so I felt I had a complete wardrobe. She provided me with a list which, although I did not buy everything from due to budget restrictions, had a number of ideas for work, day wear and evening – everything I bought, I loved – the colours, the fit, the shape, everything!

Nina really knows her stuff – gone are the days of spending hours on the internet, trying clothes on and the returning them feeling disillusioned with what I had chosen– from now on I will be asking Nina to help me find a few key pieces each year to help compliment my wardrobe and never again will I let my wardrobe get so full that it is impossible to see the wood though the trees – Thank you Nina!

Getting Nina's help was money well spent
03/07/17 - Anonymous

I have three young children, work 4 days a week in the city and struggle with clothes.  I try to keep up with trends but find it hard without feeling like I am dressing "inappropriately" for my age.  I met up with a good friend for dinner after work one day, having just had a particularly dreadful photo taken for my work website.  I thought I was wearing one of my nicer work outfits (mostly Reiss) and looked ok that day but the photographic evidence begged to differ - I looked tired, washed out and pregnant (I'm not and I'm a size 8/10).  My friend then told me I needed a visit from Nina, who had helped her clear out her wardrobe and given her an online shopping list with some really great ideas for outfits that suited her and her lifestyle.  Having had my colours "done" before, I was a bit wary but had to admit that I could do with a bit of help so got in touch with her.

Nina was fantastic.  She is warm and friendly but also fairly firm and has a great eye for detail.  When going through my wardrobe she was very nice but I soon learnt that "I think we could do better..." meant the item probably had to go.  She didn't insist I threw anything out but, actually, I agreed with her opinions on everything.  It was quite upsetting getting rid of a few more expensive things but I never wore them anyway and looking at them in my wardrobe just made me feel guilty.  I actually got rid of about half of my clothes.

It was really exciting to receive the online shop.  It was a mixture of items from a £13 dress (one of my favourites) to more expensive evening wear, as I had requested.  I was a little unsure about some of it but ordered things anyway.  She wasn't phased by my questions on styling my new clothes and I ended up keeping nearly all the items I ordered that I was unsure about - I'm really pleased Nina pushed me a little out of my comfort zone to try new things because they did look good!   Accessorising is not my strong point and I loved her inclusion of some fab (but reasonably priced!) shoes to make a pretty safe outfit much more interesting and up to date.  Getting Nina's help was money well spent and I'll definitely ask her to do another shop for me for autumn/winter.

returning to work help
22/06/17 - Emma

I was returning to work after maternity leave and had literally not a single thing that fit me and no clue what would suit my new shape. Nina did my colours, had a look at the types of things I used to wear to work and then did an online shop for me. It has made such a difference to my confidence going back into the office - people keep telling me they love my outfits and keep complimenting me on getting my figure back so quickly (I haven't!). It's also made a huge difference to how easy my mornings are - I know that everything goes together and whatever I pull out of my wardrobe will work. Brilliant!

3 elements of Nina's services you should try
08/05/17 - Anonymous

I have worked with Nina on a couple of occasions now and am sure I'll keep returning! As a mum to 2 young children and working part time in London, shopping for me is one of those things I never quite get round to. I really see Nina's service as having 3 elements to it and think if you can, go for all 3 to really benefit from her services. Firstly having a good clear out of the wardrobe with Nina and getting rid of all those things you hang onto for sentimental reasons or because you 'might' need it one day, is very therapeutic. Nina then did an online shop for me, some pieces for now, for an upcoming holiday and for work. After lots of online shopping from my sofa I had some great new items in my wardrobe that I love wearing. I then had Nina come back round and she helped me put a number of outfits together, obvious you'd think but this I found to be the most helpful as I often struggle styling my outfits! Oh and before I forget she also does 'colours' which has really helped focus me on the best colours for me. I go off script occasionally but so far she's forgiven me!!

I look forward to getting dressed everyday now
02/04/17 - Louise

I knew I needed some styling help as I had a wardrobe packed full of clothes but never the right thing to wear. I had defaulted to throwing on jeans and any old top for school run and felt I had about one decent going out outfit. Nina helped me clear out everything that wasn't working, showed me which colours and shapes were right and pulled together an online shopping list. 

It was great to get rid of so many clothes that I wasn't wearing but I initially felt a bit panicked! Once I had my new wardrobe though I couldn't have been happier. I now have lots of options to choose from each day and look forward to picking an outfit rather than finding any old thing to wear. I didn't have to spend a fortune to totally transform how I feel about my clothes and really boost my confidence. Thanks Nina!

I thoroughly recommend Nina
24/03/17 - Lucy

Nina has great enthusiasm and an eye for style that makes colour styling fun, and confidence boosting! Before I met Nina I really played it safe and wore colours that didn’t compliment my skin tone or style of clothes that suited my body shape for a late 30 something and mother of 2 for a working and casual wardrobe. Now I feel more confident in my choices and what I am pulling together as outfits everyday for work and for weekends. I thoroughly recommend Nina.

Thank you for making me a better shopper!
08/03/17 - Melinda

I hope you're well. I went shopping Monday to find tights and a handbag to wear with the coral coloured dress I showed you at my house. I already have the gold shoes per your suggestion (thank you!). I was also doing some general shopping in John Lewis, and I wanted to tell you how differently I shopped. It was incredibly efficient and actually fun! The joy of skipping past racks of black and white! Thank you so much for helping me be a better shopper.

Best thing I ever did!
06/03/17 - Jane

I have to admit I had reservations about the wardrobe detox and styling session my husband had brought for me for my birthday present. I thought my wardrobe didn't need editing because I don't own alot of clothes but it turns out I was wrong! Having Nina give a fresh eye is pretty revealing; for starters I had no idea I owned so many pairs of jeans (18!), but rarely wear more than 3 pairs of them. I also discovered I am seriously lacking in items that make up outfits together and Nina was really helpful with her styling tips on how to utilise what I have in my wardrobe and what I need to fill the gaps. It was such a thrilling and enjoyable process, and much less exhausting and over whelming when you are not the one pulling everything out. I loved Nina's easy technique, as I sat on my bed answering questions such as, "Do you wear it?" and "Do you love it?" at no point did I feel under pressure to ditch anything or embarrassed by some shopping mistakes. Afterwards I felt exhilarated, buzzing and confident about my clothes and what choices I wanted to make when shopping in the future based on Nina's appraisal of my wardrobe. The follow up email with Nina's edit of item updates and wardrobe gaps is a great starting point for my shopping trip and will ensure that I make better-informed purchases rather than panic buys. I have recommended Nina's service to all my friends and can't wait for them look and feel better about themselves too.

Nina is ace!
09/12/16 - Emma

Nina is ace - she was totally unfazed (outwardly, at least!) at the state of my wardrobe and is so relaxed and down to earth. My 1-hour consultation and colour session have made a real difference to how I choose what to wear and how I shop. Can't recommend Nina highly enough xx

Investing in nina's services was the best decision ive ever made!
4/11/16 - Kirsty

To say that I hate shopping would be an understatement. After leaving my corporate job to start my own yoga business 3 years ago, I literally gave up. I spent days working from home in my pyjamas, work days in yoga gear and the rest of the time, embarrassingly walking around town in my dog walking clothes. I hated to shop, I didn’t know what suited me and I couldn’t put outfits together so I just didn’t bother. Nights out with friends were occasions of mass panic and stress as I struggled to find anything half decent to wear. So, when my friend told me about Nina’s services, I was very much up for giving them a try.

To get started. my friends and I spent an evening with Nina understanding what colours suited us best. I quickly learnt that my preference for grey was not helping me out at all, as Nina showed me how autumn tones brought out a much warmer tone in my skin. We then signed up to a wardrobe detox. Looking at my clothes through Nina’s eyes was an eye opening experience. She showed me how the clothes I had been wearing were doing nothing to flatter my shape, nor were they in colours that worked best for me, she showed me issues with the quality and challenges of wearing the different items together. We were able to identify a few outfits from the clothes that I had, but much of it ended up in the charity pile (no regrets there I hasten to add). By simply pairing different pieces together and adding a belt and a scarf here and there my existing clothes were transformed. I already felt more confident wearing them.

The next step was for Nina to do an online shop for me. I have to say I was a little nervous. Would Nina understand my budget, would the clothes she choose suit me? I am not definitely not a follower of fashion and am still slightly scarred by a personal shopping experience in Selfridges that I had to abort mid session as the personal shoppers brought me all manner of unsuitable (and very expensive) clothes. I needn’t have worried. My online shop was perfect. While it wasn’t all items I would have chosen myself, I could see how it they all worked together and gave me outfits to wear. Better still, when it all arrived, it actually fit and suited me. Previous online shopping attempts had generally always resulted in most the clothes being returned or staying in my wardrobe with the labels on as I knew they weren’t right but never seemed to find the time to send them back. Most of the clothes were from shops such as Zara, Mango and Topshop; shops I had given up on a long time ago, as I simply didn’t have the patience to sort through everything they had available, but were now easy on my budget. When things weren’t right or I wasn’t sure, Nina was on hand to find me an alternative or give me advice on whether the item worked and how to wear it.

Last Sunday I had my first outing in one of my new outfits. I even did my makeup and wore lipstick. I was transformed! My dog walking clothes were gone! And as I wandered around town I was complimented on my new boots.

Investing in Nina’s services is the best decision I have ever made. I highly recommend her. I don’t ever intend to do my own shopping again!

It was an amazing experience!
03/11/16 - Natalie

I asked Nina to do my colours and a wardrobe edit after having my first child and returning to work as a City lawyer. I felt I had a wardrobe full of clothes and yet nothing I wanted to wear. Nina had a brilliant approach – she was honest and direct without being offensive, and after her wardrobe edit I felt revived and liberated, it was amazing! We ended up with a capsule work wardrobe that I love and I am now much more focused when it comes to clothes shopping. Thanks Nina!

Great if you are stuck in a rut!
05/10/16 - Jenny

If you don’t know what suits you or are stuck in a rut I’d recommend you visit Nina. She has recently done a colours party for me and I’ve attended one of her style sessions and feel I’ve learnt a lot! Her friendly manner made it easy to openly ask questions, confirm my best colours and discover what I should be wearing for my body shape. And her shopping tips were fabulous – I’m loving my new jeans! It’s so wonderful to be feeling good about what I’m wearing again :0) Thank you Nina!

A fun filled style party
30/09/16 - Pam

Nina ran a really fun and tip-filled styling session for us. The small group meant we had plenty of chances to ask questions about our specific issues and Nina was so warm and friendly that no-one felt embarrassed to confess their fashion disasters!! I got loads of useful tips and advice, which I will try to put into action, but can also see how some one to one sessions with her would be even more useful... Huge thanks Nina for a fab few hours - worth every penny!

Great styling session
29/09/16 - Beth

A big thank you Nina for some invaluable tips and advice at your style workshop this week. It was great to finally discover our body shapes and find out what we should be wearing to suit our different curves. I now have the fundamentals to confidently base my clothing purchases on and it was a really joy to spend the morning discussing styles and current trends. I now have a good excuse to go shopping!

men! don't be afraid!

18/07/16 Steve

Would thoroughly recommend getting Nina to advise on Men's clothing!

It's not a typical bloke thing to do, but not having a clue about which clothes to wear and having a wardrobe default option of Fat Face and Superdry, it was time for action.

My Wife arranged for Nina to come over (that's the way to do it as you can then tell your friends in the pub that it was arranged for you as a surprise) for a wardrobe detox!!

Nina was brilliant and quickly got me at ease with looking at different clothing options! She ran through some different styles, educated me in the world of clothing and went through various pictures to see what I liked. She then looked through the clothes I had accumulated since university and advised which were keepers!

Her helpful approach on the day, was quickly followed up with a Lookbook (I now know the terms!), which is basically a book full of clothes which work, different brands and price ranges and a link to buy them - that's the type of shopping I like, someone picks the clothes and all I have to do is click a link and pay - easy!

I would highly recommend that all Men go for it - give Nina's wardrobe detox a try!

i finally have a wardrobe of clothes that suit me!

14/07/16 - Kate

I cannot recommend Nina highly enough! We met last week to do my colours and then to de-tox my wardrobe and I feel so much better now about how I look. I finally have a wardrobe of clothes that suit me and colours that complement me, rather than a hotchpotch of items gathered over many years that I will never wear again. Nina was kind enough to be available for me on email when I went off to Westfield to get my "must-buys" from the list she gave me, giving me advice on items to avoid and her views on the colours I'd chosen. I was stuck in a major rut until last week - my confidence had been rock-bottom and I just felt dowdy. Now I feel energised and have the confidence to go bolder and to carve out a style for myself. Thank you Nina! xx

Amazing results!
09/07/16 - Janine

Nina, thank you so much for the colour party yesterday, it was so much fun and we were all totally amazed by the results of the colour assessments! It is so interesting how the wrong or right colours can change how you look. I was very impressed with what you do and how you do it and it was lovely to meet you. I have already sorted my wardrobe out today and extracted any offending articles!! Now I can see what I've got to wear much more clearly Thank you x

Money well spent!
20/06/16 - Laura

I held a colours party for myself and 6 friends - we all found it really useful and enjoyable. Nina then came back and helped me with a wardrobe detox. She soon made me realise that I hadn’t been thinking strategically at all when I shopped - so I had many ‘repeat items’ that were performing the same function in my wardrobe, whereas there were a number of key items missing which prevented me from pulling outfits together successfully. I now have a much smaller but more effective wardrobe. Nina helped me with an online shop which identified the items that were missing from my wardrobe and tried to bring in a bit of much needed colour. I love all the new additions and feel far more confident about shopping in the future - hopefully I won’t waste so much money buying the wrong things again. Nina is absolutely lovely & I believe that treating yourself to one of her services really is money well spent!

Wardrobe winner
12/05/16 - Nicole

I was lucky enough to have won a wardrobe consultation! It was really relaxed and I got some really helpful pointers about what shapes and styles suit my shape the best.
Also good to know a little about the colours that suit my skin tone. Had great fun and have a few new outfits from piecing different things together from my wardrobe! Big thumbs up! Thanks, nina

Nina's expertise has saved me money!
02/05/16 - Racheal

I first met Nina at a friend’s Colour Party where each of us spent some time with her discovering which colours and tones suit us best. It is fascinating to see how the ‘right’ colour can transform your skin tone and appearance. This gave me the confidence to re-evaluate my wardrobe and enjoy experimenting with colours that wouldn’t normally be on my radar (pink!). However, I still found that I was being drawn to the same old shops and was stuck in rut, not knowing which styles suited my shape and age. Infact, I had become pretty scared of fashion.

Nina and I did a half day shopping session, along with a friend, at Brent Cross to update my wardrobe for the winter. It was the most fun I’d had for ages! She soon got the measure of what did and didn’t suit us, individually, and flew round the shopping centre knowing just what to pick out. It was brilliant, and I came home with several new items that I felt happy to wear straight away – and plenty more to put on my wishlist. I think that Nina’s expertise has actually saved me money. I used to spend on clothes that sort of fitted me and looked OK. Then I would get bored of them, feel drab and start the whole process again. I now have fewer items in my wardrobe, but I feel good in all of them.

Finally, I decided to take advantage of Nina’s online Lookbook service for a summer wardrobe re-vamp. This is perfect because she is able to take into consideration your colour palette, shape and any particular requests (i.e a flattering pair of shorts, please?). You then receive 2-3 pages of new outfit ideas to order and try on at your leisure. Great if you don’t have the time or inclination to go shopping.

Nina’s advice has been so helpful and I will be able to draw upon it for years to come. If I ever get stuck for new ideas or need help with what to wear for a special occasion, I won’t hesitate to get in touch with her again. A huge thank you!

Loving the compliments!

As a mum of two, my entire wardrobe was baggy jumpers and jeans and some questionable dresses and tops that I hadn't had the guts to admit were not right for me.

Nina breezed into my room and helped weed out the unflattering items and gave me pointers on what I should be concentrating on which has been very helpful. I actually felt a lot calmer with fewer items in my wardrobe! Nina took me shopping and trying on clothes has never been such fun. I came away with some new clothes that I feel confident will work for me. Nina followed up with an email summary so I knew exactly what to look for and where and a look book with some other suggested items which I have been delighted with. Thank you so much Nina for all your advice and suggesting things I would never have dared go near before. I have had more compliments in the past few weeks than I have had in a long time.

Wardrobe detox
10/02/16 - Juliet

I would thoroughly recommend Nina Whitehead's wardrobe detox. I enjoyed 2 hours with Nina going through my wardrobe deciding which colours worked and didn't work with my particular skin colouring. It was both illuminating and thoroughly cleansing! Nina has a real eye for fashion and in addition to giving colour tips, she also provided expert advice on the types of clothes which suited my body shape and the missing "must haves" in my wardrobe.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nina's services, I feel inspired, refreshed and rejuvenated by her makeover and am finding clothes' shopping so much more enjoyable and much easier now that I am aware of my colour palette and body style.

Great online shopping service
01/02/16 - Jenny

My lovely parcels are starting to arrive! So far all fab and most are items or colours I wouldn't have chosen. Great service, great choice and all so easy as done from my sofa :) will be back when I'm ready for a summer wardrobe refresh! You've really made my life easy, stopped me from wasting money on panic buys and made me feel great!

Lovely colour party
20/01/16 - Katy

I loved having my colours done by Nina, and was I surprised with the outcome. Lots of colours that I thought wouldn't suit me did, and they made my skin have a healthy glow! I would definitely recommend having a colour party. What a lovely relaxed way of finding out which colours really suit you.

Great fun working with Nina
16/01/16 - Elizabeth

Nina helped me do a 'wardrobe detox' and we cleared out a whole hoard of unsuitable, old and ill fitting clothes. It was surprisingly therapeutic and good to have some much needed advice on what suited my shape and what didn't. The most useful part was seeing Nina pull together different outfits from my wardrobe and matching up items I wouldn't have thought to put together. This left me with a 'capsule' wardrobe of outfits I looked forward to wearing and then a great opportunity for me to ask Nina to come up with some suggestions for some new clothes to fill the gaps and add to my new collection. It was great fun working with Nina and her advice has been invaluable in shaping my new wardrobe. I would recommend Nina to anyone looking for a wardrobe revamp and some honest and trustworthy advice.

I loved having my colours done
26/11/15 - Rosie

Thank you Nina, I loved having my colours done I find it fascinating how a colour can change the whole way you look and make you look younger! I would definitely recommend it everyone should have this done, it has now given me the confidence to go and buy all sorts of colours I wouldn't necessarily buy.

Recommend Nina's colour parties
23/11/15 - Susie

I highly recommend Nina's colour parties - so much so that I hosted 4 of them! They are a really fun addition to mums or class get together's or catch ups with friends over lunch or vino! Nina adapts expertly to any situation and coped well with lots of input from onlookers! Each time, it was amazing to see how instantly a colour can either drain someone or completely lift them. Nina offers colour wallets to buy at the parties which are a very handy handbag size and mine now lives constantly in mine. You never know when you might spot something you like and want to check it's the right shade. It's certainly made my shopping much more productive as I now know instantly what suits me. Colour parties are fantastic value for money - book yours now!

Thanks Nina!
03/11/15 - Sarah

I organised some friends to get together and have Nina round for a colour party at my house as I was really curious whether I was wearing the correct colours etc. I quite often felt a bit 'drab' and wondered if it was due to me wearing the wrong clothes!! Nina was great, looked amazing, which immediately gave us all the confidence that she knew her stuff, and was really friendly!

After the party I decided to get Nina back for a full wardrobe re-haul as it hadn't really been touched for years and I felt I was wearing the same things over and over again, slightly stuck in a rut. It was a luxury but I made it my birthday and xmas present and it was definitely worth it! I was left with a hugely lighter wardrobe which felt a bit strange to begin with but once I got used to it I found it very refreshing. Nina also put together a look book for me which pointed me in the right direction for clothes I was maybe missing in my wardrobe which was tailored to my shopping habits and locations.

I contacted Nina because I wanted to feel more confident in my clothes, smarter (without looking like I was heading into an office) and not 'mumsy'. Nina has given me huge confidence and people have commented on new things that I've been wearing in very positive ways. I now know how to put things together in a slightly different ways but that look hugely different. The whole process was very enjoyable and Nina is lovely.

Thanks Nina!

You need Nina Whitehead in your life!

I was returning to work following a year's maternity and really had no suitable clothes in my wardrobe. The thought of clothes shopping filled me with dread. I figured the best plan of action was to farm my problem out to an expert. Shopping with Nina is like being in the midst of the most wonderful whirlwind - she can scan a shop floor in minutes, she gets shop managers bending over backwards to find clothes that are out of stock, and most importantly within 15 minutes of starting our shopping trip I had purchased 2 dresses, 1 skirt (which I'll wear to death), a top, a shirt...and that was just the start of it. Four hours shopping and one coffee later, I had a near complete work wardrobe. Nina followed up with a host of suggestions for any missing items. And I haven't mentioned that she's lovely, really lovely. There are very few people who can make you forget that you're standing in your underwear as you try on clothes, Nina is certainly one of them. Plus, I now know what colours and styles best suit me. Nina took me out of my comfort zone and opened up a whole new clothes world. Thank you!!

I love my new wardrobe
29/09/15 - Laura

I first came to Nina for some wardrobe help after having my two children. I was living in t shirts and throw on clothes. I felt scruffy and I'd lost my sense of style. We started with reading my colours and going through my existing wardrobe picking out styles and colours that suited me and getting rid of what didn't - very cathartic !
Nina produced a stylish capsule wardrobe for me, in my colours, within my budget, with cuts that suited my figure and that would still be practical for my lifestyle.
Nina definitely has an eye for what flatters her clients and her easy going manner made the whole process really fun. So much so that I asked for her help again for a recent wedding and also for a winter wardrobe. I now feel much more confident choosing clothes that work for me and I love my new wardrobe.

Fab service would recommend
21/09/15 - Louisa

Nina came and did a colour party for my friends and I. We all had a great time and learned loads. She then came and helped me sort out my wardrobe.She is friendly, approachable and knowledgable. I would totally recommend her.

Really useful, good experience
21/08/15 - Katy

Nina did my colour analysis earlier this year and it was great. As a new mum, it was good to know which colour would make me look my best even when I wasn't feeling it!! Nina was friendly and professional making me feel very much at ease. Next stop clothing detox and new wardrobe!!

More confidence & lots of compliments
08/06/15 - Renarta

Nina's colour consultation was informal, professional and informative. She gave me the confidence to try new clothes that I would never have chosen before. I get more compliments than ever before if I wear what was recommended by Nina. I can't wait to book Nina again for a wardrobe detox and shopping trip.

Fabulous colour party!
28/05/15 - Emma

Thank you so much for the colour party at Georgie's the other week. We had a fabulous time at the colour party. Nina was lovely and made us all feel very relaxed. She really opened my eyes to the colours that suit me and how the right colours can make you look younger and improve your complexion. I won't be going anywhere without my colour book! Thank you Nina.

My experiences with nina
12/05/15 - Natalie

My experiences with Nina have been nothing but amazing! I have recently had my colour analysis completed: this has given me more knowledge and confidence to choose the colours in clothes that will enhance my skin tone and hair colour to make the best of the way I look as well as what I wear. I am currently making good use of this and I find when I do choose my colours I definitely feel better in my appearance and I notice I get more compliments too which is a boost for anyone.

After the colour analysis I decided to see Nina again for a wardrobe detox. I have recently had my third baby and although have a good amount of clothes I can now fit back into, I do still struggle to put pieces together and tend to stick to the same 'safe' items . Nina came out and really helped to establish some order in my wardrobe. We put clothes to one side that I knew I needed to deposit. She helped me streamline what I have in order to put pieces together as well as what extra items I need. At all times she talked me through things and showed me what she was describing. I found the wardrobe detox experience quite cathartic and confidence building. Nina really supported me in seeing where I needed to go with my clothes choices as well as understood what was going on behind the scenes with my purchasing habits. I can thoroughly recommend Nina and the edits experiences. She is a breath of fresh air who makes you see the best in yourself and builds confidence in you and your choices. I am of the belief if you look good you feel good and Nina is definitely helping me with this. Thank you Nina, you are a knight in shining armour and others should experience your talent.

Enthusiastic & honest approach
01/05/15 - Zoe

Really enjoyed having my colours done the other week at Susie's Colours party! Need to have a good look through my wardrobe now and remove any offending items. I loved Nina's enthusiastic and honest approach and it's given me more confidence when I choose and buy new clothes. The biggest surprise for me was after a lifetime of wearing silver, I should in fact be wearing gold! Thanks Nina.

Really enjoyed the colour party!
24/04/15 - Elizabeth

Thank you for a brilliant evening doing our colours. It was great fun getting everyone together and guessing which 'season' we would be and it was extremely useful to get some tips on which colours I should go for. A few surprises and a great excuse to go shopping! Now hinting to other half that I need your personal shopping consultation

Amazing!
20/03/15 - Caney

It was amazing to see the way you do colours, looking forward to gutting my closet of all the shades that don't suit me! Thanks again!!

THANKS NINA!
16/02/2015 - Nicola

Had a great colour review with Nina last week. As a new mum it's been hard to find the right clothes and ones that still fit in the wardrobe! I had my swatch wallet through and can't wait to get to the shops and buy some new clothes. The perfect excuse! Thanks Nina

Great for new mum
12/02/2015 - Stephanie

Nina came to see me and a group of friends for a colour party, all of whom are new mums and in desperate need of clothes in new sizes! We wanted to know which colours to buy and which to avoid- those questions were definitely answered. Nina was friendly, informative and fun, and we all left feeling much more knowledgeable about our colour palettes. We feel much more confident when choosing new clothes and are already planning shopping sprees! Nina comes highly recommended by us all :)

Great Experience
07/10/2014 - Alex

Nina was very helpful and definitely gave me the push I needed to de-clutter my wardrobe!! I have now much more idea on what suits and doesn't, colours and what I need less of and ideas of what to buy. I highly recommend !!

Look Book
07/02/2014 - Louise

I contacted Nina as I needed a confidence boost. Working from home I spend most of my time in joggers and needed some confidence to buy something suitable for my niece's christening. Nina told me what colours suit me best and sent me a look book with several different outfit suggestions and how I can mix and match outfits so buying them all doesn't break the bank. I love the suggestions and Nina's help has given me the confidence to stop hiding behind joggers and black!

Brilliant service!
28/01/2014 - Karen

Nina is brilliant! As a busy working mum my wardrobe was in dire need of help and I simply couldn't find time/energy to work out what I should/shouldn't be wearing. A quick session with Nina resulted in an great shopping list to buy from on-line (complete with easy links) without me having to worry if I could afford it/whether it would suit me. Absolutely can't fault her - brilliant service. Not only that but came with loads of extra tips about what colours/accessories etc would suit me best - do give her a call!

Great confidence boost!
27/01/2014 - Gemma

I got in touch with Nina for a colour consultation after recommendations from several ladies in Harpenden. Nina spent 2 hours with me at my home looking through lots of different colour swatches in front of a mirror and choosing which best complimented me. We then went through my wardrobe and picked out which items worked for me and which didn't. Nina also gave me lots of useful tips on dressing for my shape. It was an incredibly useful morning and I now feel so much more confident that the clothes I am wearing work for me. Shopping has become much easier as I can instantly focus on 'my' colours. On Nina's advice I have also since changed the colour of my blonde highlights to better suit my skin tone and have been so pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Nina to anyone looking for some style advice, she is incredibly professional, knows her stuff and is a very friendly lady.

Wardrobe detox! I'm definitely feeling refreshed!!
13/11/2013 - Natalie

I booked a "Wardrobe Detox" with Nina from Edits-Styling. It was amazing, I feel totally refreshed. We not only went through what was in my wardrobe, but a few bags of clothes I was storing in my loft. We cleared out a load of stuff, much of which I have managed to ebay and make a bit of money from (so the whole exercise has almost paid for itself!). Nina, has really helped to focus me on a few key looks for this winter. I am about to have a baby, so she was really helpful in putting together maternity looks as well as considering my needs for the months following babies arrival and beyond! Thanks Nina!!

Thankyou!

11/11/2013 - Kirsty

Colour analysis has COMPLETELY transformed my wardrobe. I have a new found confidence that the colours I am wearing are enhancing my skin tone and features in the best possible way. Nina is a stylish and professional consultant who has a wealth of fashion experience. Everyone should have this done, well worth the money, highly recommend. Thanks Nina and Edits, I shall be back for more!

Amazing and life changing

09/11/2013 - Nicola

Nina is an amazing down to earth mum who can tell you exactly how to reorganise your wardrobe and rediscover your own style and confidence. She has helped me get my 15 year old clothes out of my wardrobe and now be more confident in my new style. After having 2 children I got a bit lost but thanks to Nina I now have direction and my style back thank you so much!! xx
