How I used clothes as a tool for success…

A spell in retail and fashion post-school wasn’t “enough”. Ambition took me back to study and on to a decade climbing the corporate ladder and homeownership all before age 30. Whilst I learned a lot about business over those years and achieved my goals, I realised that the corporate world was sucking my soul. I waved goodbye to Coutts Bank to train at London College of Fashion and later as an Image Consultant in Holland Park, London.

I embraced my natural creativity and combined it with my knowledge of the corporate world.

Whilst working at Coutts Bank, surrounded by HNW clients and double-barrelled well connected Private Bankers, investing in my working wardrobe was my secret weapon. Looking the part and professional, ensured I was taken seriously and I radiated confidence to others before I really felt it inside. It levelled out my Essex twang insecurities in a well-spoken environment. This was instinctive for me but It struck me many brilliant colleagues simply didn't have the time or the know-how to pull together a stylish wardrobe. They were missing a trick.

I had used my clothes as a tool for success and to make me look and feel more confident than I really was inside. It worked!

Nowadays I love dressing in a very casual but pulled-together way. I'm a bit quirky with my dress sense because I'm so confident and clear in what suits me as a person and how I like to express myself.

Since then I’ve styled hundreds of professionals and entrepreneurs, worked with BBC, ITV, and Discovery Channel, launched a successful podcast about style and fashion aimed at women over 40 -The Style Stories Podcast - and launched online group courses to reach and teach more people about style! I have worked with a range of people from stay-at-home Mums to bankers, laywers, TV personalities and national DJ's.

I have been a personal stylist now for over 12 years, seen inside hundreds of wardrobes, and shopped with hundreds of men and women like you.

I know what works to create a stylish, pulled-together wardrobe that makes sure you have the right thing to wear for whatever life throws at you.

I love…

History and especially exploring castles.
Vintage - especially the 70's and the fact you’re wearing something that has a story and a life.
Looking at others in outfits and how they pull things together in their own way.
Going to festivals and that communal enjoyment of music.
Going to vinyl nights at our local and getting up on the decks to play some of my favourite music.
The seaside and always feel my shoulders relax when I'm in view of the sea.
Most of all I love being a Mum to my two boys - both are very different, I've got a “booky” one and a football one.🤓⚽️
