Personal Style Consultation
Have you ever wondered why some people always look great and others look as if they really could do with some help when it comes to style?
Each of us has the potential to look great regardless of age, body shape, lifestyle or income and if you want to reach that potential it pays to enlist the help of a professional. When it comes to looking and feeling your best, a Personal Style Consultation will help you minimise any figure flaws and enhance your best assets. I will show you which clothing shapes flatter you… what to look out for and what to avoid.
Each style consultation includes:
- Personality and lifestyle profile
- Body shape analysis
- Showing you which clothing details and accessories best suit your face and body shape
- Advice on fit, fabric and figure fixes
- Grooming and personal presentation – including advice on the best make-up, hair colours and styles to suit your face shape and lifestyle
- Showing you how to put together a confidence-boosting look for any occasion
Personal Colour Consultation
Wearing the right colours for your complexion, hair colour and eye colour can make the difference between appearing tired and washed out or youthful and attractive. Have you ever noticed that when you wear a particular colour people will comment on how well or relaxed you look? Colour can affect your mood and your confidence and knowing which colours are your friends and which are your enemies can make all the difference.
You will walk away from this session with a complete understanding of the colours that are best for you and how to combine and use different colours for impact and results. You’ll also receive a purse-sized, customised colour swatch detailing your best core colours, accent colours (for impact) and neutrals, to make shopping quicker and easier and give you more confidence making choices that will have you looking and feeling your best. I’ll also give you professional guidance on the best make-up and hair colours for you, so that you’ll be able to shop more confidently and feel more comfortable briefing your hairdresser on how you would like to look.

This is a great way to escape the everyday for a little while; to pamper yourself and celebrate being the gorgeous woman you are (and get some serious bargains as we shop up a storm)
This August I have teamed up with experienced small group luxury travel company Cape Lux Travels to bring you a fantastic trip to Vietnam. Over 12 days travelling from Ho Ci Minh city (Saigon) in the north through to the lovely French colonial style Hanoi in the south you will shop, eat, drink, shop some more, be pampered at 5 star spas and have an opportunity to get some beautiful clothing and jewellery handmade for you.
During this ‘girls-only’ small group tour you will have a several sessions with me where you will have your colours done, and get advice on the best clothing styles, shapes and fabrics for your figure type and lifestyle. During our down time between spa treatments and gourmet meals we will also look at makeup colours and techniques and discuss hair colour and styles best suited to your face shape and your lifestyle.
You will also get to experience a little of the local culture via a cooking classes, city tours and market trips. And you’ll definitely benefit from Jean Wethmar’s experience and local knowledge via access to her “Little Black Book” of local shops, tailors, restaurants and pampering services. Jean has been taking small groups to Vietnam for many years and knows it inside out. She is passionate about the food, the people and the French colonial style architecture. Her knowledge and experience means we will be in good hands.
As well as accompanied shopping and style sessions, the tour cost includes 5 start accommodation, transfers, most meals (as indicated on the itinerary), cooking classes, several spa treatments, and a deluxe cabin overnight stay on the gorgeous Emeraude on Vietnam’s famous Halong Bay.
I hope you will join us on what I know will be a fun filled and fabulous ‘girls-only’ adventure.

Wardrobe Edit
Can you go everywhere you need to go with what’s in your wardrobe right now? Do you have items in your wardrobe that you don’t fit into or haven’t worn for more than a year? Are there things you own that no matter what you do with them just never seem to work for you?
A wardrobe edit is an inspired way to take control of your wardrobe. It will stop you from making any more fashion mistakes and will maximise the value you get from your wardrobe. If you’ve ever experienced a wardrobe (or several) full of clothes and nothing to wear then a wardrobe edit may be just what you need.
The secret many well-styled women don’t want you to know is that you don’t actually need to own a lot of clothes to look like you have a huge wardrobe of outfits; you just need the right pieces for the right situations and a little bit of creativity to make each piece do double duty.
I’ll help you:
- Organise your wardrobe so that it is more user-friendly for your needs and you can clearly see what you have at a glance
- Highlight the successes in your current wardrobe and create new combinations without spending any extra
- Provide practical advice on optimising your wardrobe by putting together as many complete outfits (including shoes, bags and accessories) as possible to fit every occasion
- Show you how to create a ‘clothing capsules’ – groupings of items (similar colour, style or usage) such as jackets, pants, skirts, tops and accessories that can be mixed and matched with each other
- Identify what is missing; the “gaps” in your wardrobe that if filled would enable you to create more outfits and extend your current look
- Prioritise ‘needs’ vs. ‘wants’, making future shopping trips easier, quicker and much more cost effective
Personal Shopping
If you find shopping a boring, intimidating, overwhelming or wallet-draining experience, a personalised shopping trip with My Personal Stylist can save you time, money and stress.
I love to shop. In fact some would say I live to shop! Not only am I out there constantly scouting for trends, bargains and great new finds, I know what goes with what and how to put together a complete wardrobe in under 3 hours. Let me help you find the right outfit for that special occasion, or even update your entire wardrobe.
And better still, if you combine a style, wardrobe or colour consultation with your personal shopping trip, or if you’ve done one of these with us during the last 12 months we’ll give you a VIP rate on the Personal Shopping fee.
Includes:
- Coffee and briefing
- Personality and Lifestyle Profile
- Prioritised listing of ‘Must haves’ and ‘Nice to haves’
- Escorted shopping with advice on fit, fabric, colour and accessories
*NB: Purchases are not included in the fee and must be paid for by the client at point of sale.
Travel Packing
If packing for a business trip or even for a holiday leaves you filled with dread about what to take, what to leave out and whether your bag will end up over limit, you might benefit from My Personal Stylist’s travel packing service.
I used to pack way too much, trying to accommodate different outfits for every occasion as well as shoes and accessories to match. Invariably I would bring most of it home unworn along with several new pieces I managed to acquire while away (shopping somewhere new is always fun).
Now over many years and many trips (for work and pleasure) I have learned how to pack well, pack light and allow room for those impulse buys. I can save you time, stress and potentially money (on overweight baggage fees) by showing you how to pack more effectively or even packing for you if you don’t have the time or energy to deal with it yourself.
Workshops
My Personal Stylist regularly offers small group workshops on style, colour, hair and makeup personal grooming and business etiquette. Please contact us for upcoming dates and topics.
