Claudia is amazing and she helped me with a style analysis and a wardrobe edit. She is professional and knowledgeable whilst being incredibly warm, supportive and good fun!

I hadn’t really realised over the years how scruffy I had become living most of the week in gym gear (whilst not even going to the gym!) A move from an office based life with no children to working in a kitchen, 2 children and a dog has meant that over the years I’ve just made less and less of an effort. Claudia’s style analysis really helped to match a wardrobe with my current lifestyle such that outfits can be both practical and stylish.

Much to my disbelief she also helped tackle my wardrobe. Decades of not throwing things away meant my wardrobe was cluttered and over whelming. Claudia got to work helping sift items into piles and then discarding those that didn’t work for me. The remaining items were reinvented. In some cases hemlines and shoulders readjusted to create new pieces. She then ordered my wardrobe into sections. After this she sent through a full documented breakdown of how my pieces work so that I feel I have a capsule wardrobe that all goes together. I actually can’t wait to be able to go on holiday just to see how easy packing will have become!

She also identified a few missing wardrobe essentials which is great as I now feel I will stop making random purchases as I have a clear strategy on what to buy. I have half the wardrobe I had but so much more to wear. A hugely worth while exercise which is both liberating and energising. I have my style mojo back! I can’t recommend highly enough.

Claudia came to my home to do a style analysis and wardrobe edit. I have always been someone who likes clothes and had a style but since having kids and becoming a pilates teacher (always in leggings) I felt I had lost my way a little.

Claudia started by analysing my shape and tastes (through photos and questionnaires) in a totally non judgemental way, concentrating on accentuating all the really positive things. I was amazed at how much this helped me to see myself in a different way. She then applied her knowledge which she has gained through qualifications in London to help find a style that would really suit me. There are certain rules that can make legs look longer that I had no idea about!

We then went on to the wardrobe edit that I absolutely loved! This is not about spending money on loads of new things but looking at the things you have through different eyes. Some clothes need to go and Claudia is brilliant at helping you decide which ones should stay and go. Of those that stay she helped me create loads of different looks with one item. I had a beautiful coat that I could never decide how to wear and now I wear it everywhere and anywhere all in different ways.

Whilst trying on all the different outfits, Claudia is busy taking photos that she later sends through to remind you how to put things together. I never felt that she suggested anything that I didn’t like yet she managed to use my clothes in ways I would never have considered.

She helpfully gave me tips all the way through on how to accentuate parts of my body that I felt I wanted to. I learned so much from her. After that she sent me a detailed report on items she felt I might over time consider buying. Gaps in my wardrobe. She gave me loads of examples of items that catered for all budgets. Over time I have added to my wardrobe by filling these gaps so feel I no longer ‘randomly’ buy items.

If you are wondering whether to treat yourself to a session with Claudia then consider how much time and money you spend faffing about deciding what to wear and how to wear it. How many things you have bought that really don't work but you don't know why. How much time you would save if everything you had had a place and something to go with. For me, Claudia has taken out the time wasting. If I have 5 mins to get ready, I know exactly what to do!

The icing on the cake is that Claudia has fantastic (very inclusive feeling) style herself, she is really smart ( a former lawyer) and is warm, funny and fabulous to spend time with. I would highly recommend her and her wonderful new business.
