Where to start with the praise!
Not really knowing what to expect from a “wardrobe audit” and being a little fearful if honest, I mean I’d clung on to these things for years!
Laura’s energy and gentle but firm guidance on how to “let go”, was, I can honestly say, the most freeing of experiences, way beyond just the clothes.
Following it up with a planned shopping trip, I had the most amazing day and really felt like I was on a girlie shopping day with a friend rather than a mission to reclaim some style and confidence. The latter was a very happy bi-product of a genuinely enjoyable and dare I say it, effortless afternoon of trying on outfits (not so much for poor Laura doing all the running around ). Trust me, shopping hasn’t been a joy for me for a number of years now and certainly not when looking for trousers. I grump around determined to go home with something, try, grump a bit more, buy and then spend the next weeks re-looking at the purchase wondering “what the heck! ….” then giving them away or worse still hoarding.
I can honestly say, I love ALL of my new outfits!!
Laura achieved for me my dream of “gliding into a room, my clothes smiling as I go”, be it formal or fun, we had it covered.
Laura is an absolute delight, her sunny, infectious personality and unbelievable eye for style has given me a new lease of life. She is a true professional at understanding an individuals personal look and what will work for them.
I can’t thank her enough for the positive changes this has made to my life.
Looking forward to our next outing already.

I found Laura to be a vivacious and enthusiastic personality. It was a real pleasure to have her help in developing and modernising my wardrobe. She provided confidence in choosing clothes, shops, and styles I would not have normally considered. Laura’s service was holistic and she herself consistently encouraging. I would highly recommend her as a personal shopper, and for myself would definitely call upon her when I have my next wardrobe crisis. Thank you so much Laura xxx

I was lucky enough to spend some time with Laura ahead of a wedding that I attended in Cyprus. Laura offers an amazing no-fuss styling service and was an incredible shopping partner.

A great experience. Laura was so enthusiastic and helped me to consider clothing that I probably would have not looked at. I certainly learned a few things about what I can wear and although taken out of my comfort zone it was tremendously worthwhile. Thank you Laura.

Wanting to look my absolute best for my son’s wedding and not knowing where to start, I consulted with Laura and had a wonderful day shopping in Manchester. With Laura’s patience and advice as to what would look best for me the end result was just what I wanted. My outfit was different to any style I would have even looked at but I felt ‘a million dollars’ and with so many compliments from guests on the day I felt confident and able to enjoy every minute of a very special occasion.

When I needed an outfit for my daughters wedding Laura came go the rescue.
Armed with the knowledge that I was petite and found it hard to find clothes that didn’t swamp me – my likes and dislikes – favourite colours and understanding that my knees were my pet hate we hit the town!
She was great fun to shop with but very professional and certainly knew what she was talking about and encouraged me to try on outfits and dresses I might have ignored normally – by the afternoon she had done it!
I found the perfect dress and styled with a new bag, fab shoes and accessories I felt and looked a million dollars -my husband was bowled over and I was very happy .
I will be shopping with Laura again that’s for certain -money definitely well spent!

I’m a mum of two, I was going back to work after being on maternity, had totally lost my way with fashion as I had been breastfeeding. My wardrobe consisted of baggy shapeless easy access clothes, so I asked Laura to guide me. She was fantastic, took me slightly out of my comfort zone, made me try things on which I wouldn’t have usually picked and made me realise you don’t have to be mumsy just because you’ve had kids! Highly recommend to anyone who feels out the loop.

Having had 12 months off with my baby, Like most new mums I was dreading going back to work but I also felt slightly depressed that I was going to wear my old work clothes when I returned. Laura and I discussed beforehand what I felt I needed to liven up my wardrobe, i have a habit of buying navy and black for work but wanted to get away from this. Laura advised me of the colours that are really popular this spring/summer but understood that as someone with blonde hair, certain colours wouldn’t work on me. Laura kindly did some research prior to the day to get a feel for what I like by sending me some images of clothes. On the day, Laura had a good idea of what shops to go to given my budget and the styles I was looking for. At times she had a handful of clothes for me to try on, a mixture of tops, skirts, trousers, shoes, jumpsuits, gilets, I had never taken 20 items to the Zara changing rooms before! As someone who isn’t very daring when it comes to clothing, I trusted Laura’s opinion as I knew she really thought about what items would suit me but yet were current and up to date. I also picked up some useful hints and tips during the day i.e. if your budget isn’t massive, see what current trends are out there by going to the higher end, more expensive stores and then go to the more cheaper high street stores to get similar items, as the cheaper stores are influenced by the more expensive stores. In addition, Laura also advised that it is good to invest a bit more money if possible in classic, timeless items as these will never go out of fashion, and to also mix these items with something a bit more on trend, but try to avoid wearing a full outfit which is full on trendy as it is likely to go out of fashion quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, I felt it was extremely worthwhile and feel so much better going back to work in some new clothes.

Laura is an exceptional and versatile stylist and I can’t recommend her enough.
She is genius at putting together cost-effective outfits and accessories that both flatter, express unique personality traits, and are appropriate for the occasion/s you are dressing for.
With her professional eye, she has ultimately saved me money by providing tips on how to recycle key pieces in the wardrobe, and also where to invest for the season’s best look.
She takes my style from business apparel (for work) to funk (for gigs) in an effortless and hugely enjoyable way. I can’t wait for my next outing with her.
Please, please book her! You won’t ever want to shop without her again.

I needed a proper helping hand with my wardrobe – and I could not be more chuffed to have found Laura. She immediately put me at ease, setting aside the clothes I look bad in and honing in on the ones I look great in. Now I’ve got a bunch of outfits I properly trust, some cracking recommendations for versatile new items to fill some key gaps – and a hint of swagger I never knew I had in me.

You have been such an inspiration since our first meeting and my much needed wardrobe clear out. You have giving me the confidence to go bold and embrace my changing/aging body, restoring my confidence and bringing fun back into my wardrobe. You’re style swaps and preloved advice has revolutionised the way I think about clothes and I’ve sourced some fabulous pieces in the past couple of years. “Shopping my own wardrobe” has become a real thing and mixing and matching to create lots of different looks would never have happened without your influence and flare. You really are my style icon and an absolute ray of sunshine.
