I thought spending money on a stylist was a luxury I couldn’t afford. Ironically, the first thing Rebecca did was to save me money by showing me how to make better use of the clothes I already had. By going through my wardrobe with me piece by piece, and putting items together in different combinations, Rebecca showed me I had outfits I didn’t know I had. Then, she helped me see why some items I’d bought had never left my wardrobe – why I couldn’t make them work. Some of those we tossed, and others she actually pinned for alterations that would make them more suitable for me. Now I wear them. Finally, Rebecca took me shopping. She did the research for me and presented the items she knew I needed to complete my wardrobe. Rebecca dresses me to look the best with the body I have.
- Amy Part-time professionalWow! Rebecca, you’re a marvel! I didn’t think I had many clothes, but it turns out I just didn’t know how to put them together. You found some hidden gems in my wardrobe and then showed me what was missing so that I could make the most of what I already had. Plus adding a few new elements and now I am spoilt for choice! Shopping with you was a great experience. Thank you for researching what we were looking for, you really understood my shape and lifestyle requirements and gave me things to try on that I would have never picked myself, but really worked! All in all a fabulous experience and a great investment.
- Helen Small business owner, mother of 2I recently had a wardrobe consultation with Rebecca and all I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you!
I had no idea what colours suited me, what shape my body is and what clothes I should wear to suit that and, because of this, I got to a point where I hated shopping and if I ever did shop, I tended to buy the same things.
Rebecca was amazing. She showed me the colours that suited me, what my body shape is and what style of clothes I should wear to suit my shape. She paired existing clothes in my wardrobe in a way I would never have considered, and as a result, I feel like I have a new wardrobe.
She also provided me with a list of 'staples' to complete my wardrobe so I know exactly what to look for when I am shopping now.
Since the consultation, Rebecca has been really generous with her time - following up on how I'm going and sending pictures of clothing items to consider.
I have to say, the wardrobe consultation with Rebecca far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it. The only problem was the time went too quickly and I didn't want Rebecca to leave!
- Faith CoachI had so many clothes that I rarely wore or had never actually worn. Rebecca helped me sort through them and with her advice I now have heaps of lovely options to choose from. Some just needed an added scarf or necklace, some needed shortening and some were just not right for me. I loved our shopping trip and ended up with clothes I would never have tried and colours that I had avoided. The end result is heaps of room in my wardrobe, heaps of really lovely outfits to wear and heaps of confidence. Thank you so much - I can't wait to do it again for summer!
- Jenny Accounts Manager, mother of 2I feel so confident with the direction that you took me in, and all the things that you suggested that I try that I purchased. There were things that I was a bit reluctant about when I first saw them, but after trying them on I realised how right you were to pick them for me! I felt so confident and ‘put together’ in the outfits, and they were also perfect to match with the other clothes that I had at home…with all the combinations, I don’t think I’ll be re-wearing an outfit for weeks and weeks! Also, you picked up on when I was getting a bit overwhelmed with the jeans, and gently persuaded me to try just one more on…and they were a total winner! They were so flattering and I even wore them to work the next day, with one of my new tops and a new blazer, and got so many compliments. Not that dressing is all about getting compliments, but boy do they help with the confidence levels!
- Ange Full time professionalMany thanks for helping me update my winter wardrobe. I must admit, shopping with you was the polar opposite of my usual unsatisfactory experiences shopping for clothes! Your help and guidance was very much appreciated.
- Susan Full-time professionalI've loved the whole experience with Rebecca!. I feel like she really understood me, my lifestyle and what sorts of clothes I was comfortable in and then she added in another layer which I've never been able to achieve which is what I actually look good in! She's very knowledgable and intuitive and explains why things do / don't work and so I feel more confident to make better choices. Going shopping with Rebecca was absolutely my best ever clothes shopping experience and I feel great in the new pieces she picked out. I absolutely recommend Rebecca's services. If you feel like your wardrobe could do with an update but you don't really know what suits you anymore, unsure of what clothes you like and don't love the idea of spending hours trying to find clothes that may or may not work give her a call!
- Penny ProfessionalI found the experience fun and a real eye opener as well. I love that I have all these new combinations of outfits to wear, especially for the clothes that were just gathering dust in my wardrobe! I wish I had your styling ability! You make the process seem so straightforward. Thanks also for the style plan you sent through –it’s great knowing which styles to avoid and which types accentuate my shape. The photos will be of great help too.
- Brianna Part-time professionalI decided I needed to see a stylist because I’d had 3 babies in 5 years, my body shape had changed and I was stuck in a rut buying baggy unflattering clothes in black because I believed I needed to hide my tummy and that black was slimming.
Seeing Rebecca is the best thing I have ever done. She helped me see that I didn’t need to hide my figure and she gave me the confidence to get rid of clothes in my wardrobe that no longer suited me. She also identified where the gaps in my wardrobe were and showed me how to work colour into my existing wardrobe.
Shopping with Rebecca is a joy. With pre-school children, I don't have a lot of time to shop. Rebecca does all the leg work for me and saves me spending money on bad purchases.
I find I now spend less on clothing overall because I tend to save up for a wardrobe consultation/shopping session with Rebecca. She helps me buy quality pieces that see me get more wear out of my wardrobe. I have now seen Rebecca twice and it just gets better and better. She knows my wardrobe and my style and we have lots of fun shopping together.
- Sally Part-time professional, mother of 3I stumbled across Rebecca in a google search and was beyond happy with what I got! She was exactly what I was looking for - she didn't judge, she made me feel comfortable and safe and that is what I needed most. The journey from start to finish was fun and easy, Rebecca was very professional, knowledgeable and asked all the right questions - all I had to do was show up! I now have a wardrobe with, clothes that I love, clothes that make me feel confident, clothes that fit me and reflect my personality and newly growing business. Beyond happy with the whole experience and the wardrobe!
- Megan McKenzie Confidence and Emotion CoachWhat a fun and uplifting experience I have had being styled by Rebecca! She is such an easy going, non-threatening person to help build confidence in what and how to wear things and how to feel comfortable in them. I feel I have gained half a new wardrobe by learning how to co-ordinate my existing clothing better, and am really excited by my new “key items”. It could be the first time I’ve ever looked forward to dressing in winter! Thanks Rebecca.
- Jo Osteopath, mother of 3Rebecca is awesome – she absolutely managed to pull off the impossible by getting me clothes shopping and I can honestly say I loved every minute of the experience. I am not someone who enjoys shopping for clothes so the prospect of spending a couple of hours of nothing but clothes shopping was somewhat daunting. With Rebecca’s calm personality and incredibly trained eye she managed to get me to try things on things I would never have even looked at and not once did I feel uncomfortable. Thank you Bec for making me look and feel fabulous.
- Hanna Small business owner, mother of 4Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Really warm and energetic personality with a true passion for what she does.
I've always struggled with clothing and putting together outfits. With the wardrobe visit, I learnt so much about colour, tucking shirts and styling. I realised I had so many outfit combinations that I'd never even thought of. The personal shopping trip felt really special, I now have too many amazing outfits to chose from and I everyday I tend to get a compliment on my outfit.
Thanks Rebecca! I couldn't recommend her more.
- Brigid Cook Advertising ExecutiveI’ve never been a big dress wearer and it had been many years since I’d been to a fancy affair so when my husband’s boss invited us to his house for private cocktail party I knew I needed help. I was hoping to come away with a dress I felt comfortable in but Rebecca gave me so much more. Not only did she help me acquire two dresses, shoes and a handbag all within my budget but her designer’s eye and genuine desire to help left me with a new confidence to try new things and the knowledge that there are clothes out there that make my body look, not just nice, but head-turning hot. I got so many compliments I felt like a different woman! I just never knew how to shop for my shape. Now I can’t wait to get her into my closet for a complete overhaul.
- Penelope Part-time professionalRebecca has a wonderful eye for style and knowing what works best for my body shape. She has encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and try new styles of clothing that I would never have looked at and it is amazing what a difference it makes. From conservative and comfortable to now dressing classically stylish and confidently, I love how I feel when I walk out the door each day and the WOW factor Rebecca has brought to my every day.
- Natalie Marketing specialist, mother of 3A few months ago I was overwhelmed by the ever growing size of my wardrobe. It had become completely unmanageable. In my quest to find the perfect outfits, I kept accumulating more and more clothes, and yet most times wore the same tired combinations over and over again. I had been thinking for a while that the answer was not to continue increasing the volume but to pare things down, and only keep what is versatile and pretty much perfect for me and my body shape and most importantly my lifestyle.
I turned to my trusted stylist, Rebecca, for help and guidance as I knew this would be a big change for me. She immediately recommended we try a capsule wardrobe, which can be changed with the seasons and only comprises wonderful pieces.
It sounds trite, but the transformation she made to my wardrobe has changed my life. The dread and time wasting I used to experience each morning is gone. Instead I go to the section that fits my day: dressy, work or casual and select what I feel like wearing. It's easy. It's effective. It saves lots and lots of money. I get so many compliments on my new clothes, even though they are not new! Just great combinations from my existing treasures.
Thank you Rebecca, you're a genius!
- Monika Full-time professional, mother of 2Returning to work after a baby, for me, was hard. Specifically because I still had a large tummy from growing that adorable chubby baby - and no idea how to dress so I looked smart. I love, respect and accept 'post baby me', but how to look 'work ready' was a puzzle - I'm not normally this shape! Rebecca was so approachable and deeply competent - and really practical too. See I had concerns about spending a lot on a wardrobe I hope to be too small for in 6 to 9 months time. Rebecca suggested we wait to shop until just before I went back, and then the day came - I was nervous about what I'd get with my 'temporary but complete return to work wardrobe for $500 (including shoes!)'... but that was silly. The shop was really fun and efficient, and we came a good $20 under budget! I walked into work first day comfortable (no shapewear, just excellently selected clothes), and confident, and noticed by day three that I wasn't rushing around trying to match clothes - they all just worked. I can't wait to 'deflate' from this baby state and do a big wardrobe shop. Oh and the kicker for me was my colors - amazing to see the transformation wearing the right colors does!!! What a delight, thank you Rebecca.
- Carla Project ManagerWow, am I glad to have met this lady in my lifetime! You can’t really describe the shopping day with Rebecca until you have experienced it for yourself. Basically, the headache and embarrassment of taking racks of clothing into a change room, trying them all on and then dumping the ill-fitting clothes back on the shop assistant’s counter is over. Instead, clothes are carefully selected by Rebecca in the lead up to the shop day, set aside for you in stores in advance and then miraculously almost all of them look good when you try them on! You can get a whole new wardrobe in 2-3 hours. Winter shop was a huge success so now looking forward to my summer shop this month. What makes this small business even better is the person behind it is so lovely.
- Karen Professional photographer, mother of 3I’m a terrible shopper, actually I hate shopping. I try to only go twice a year and I stick to safe, plain options, things I think look good. After three kids, maternity clothes, lots of track pants and hoodies I decided it was time to spend some birthday money! Rebecca went through my wardrobe with me and explained styles and shapes that were most suited. She showed me what worked in my wardrobe and noted what was missing. We emptied my wardrobe and then set to the task of restocking it. No more breastfeeding tops, hideaway frumpy pregnant clothes and 80s shoes! I needed someone to be both cut-throat and kind and Rebecca is both! Rebecca takes the pain away from a shopping trip for me. She does the hard work first and ensures you have so many beautiful things to try on you’ll be surprised at your options and have no shortage of choice. She shows me clothes I would never take off the rack and I’m always happy with how flattering they are! She understands clearly my likes and dislikes and steers away from items she knows I won’t be comfortable with. She is conscious of my time and my money. I have been into so many new stores, learnt how to accessorise, and feel much more confident ducking out when I need one or two new pieces. If I need to do a big shop, well I still call in the expert!
- Eva Small business owner, mother of 3I thoroughly enjoy working with Bec every time we shop together. It is a delight to see how much she enjoys the process of making clients look and feel great. I have never liked to shop and Bec takes the hard thinking out of the process. I highly recommend anyone to invest in these services.
