wardrobe edit

“the most sustainable garment is the one already in your wardrobe”

— Orsola de Castro

“I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAAAR!” - you.

I bet you’re swimming in clothes. I bet you’ve got SOMETHING to wear. But what you actually mean is that you’re in a place where you feel unfocused, tired, or quite frankly, bored of your clothes. Perhaps you feel like nothing fits, or nothing goes together, or maybe you’ve gone through a lifestyle change and you feel like none of your clothes reflect the person you now are. Perhaps you’re buying too much, and still only wearing the same few things repeatedly. Do you ever feel like you want to throw everything away and start again?

That’s ok, that happens.

You don’t need to throw it all away, but you do need a wardrobe that works. Let’s keep the dressing stressing to a minimum and create you a streamlined wardrobe of great garms, so you can look forward to getting dressed.

All we need is a touch of structure, a dash of playfulness and a banging playlist.

  • This service costs £350 for 4 hours, and additional travel costs if you are located outside of London.

  • We’ll start with your style foundations. Through colour, body shape and style personality analysis, we’ll learn all about what works for you and use it as a springboard from which to launch ourselves into your editing your wardrobe.

    We’ll spend some quality time together, really looking at the items you own, pragmatically understanding how or why an item does or doesn’t work for you, and removing the ones that no longer serve you; piling them up into different categories for either selling, donating or tailoring. Then we’ll play with the rest!

    We’ll make new outfit combinations, play with colours, we’ll establish gaps in your wardrobe and make a list, I’ll show you styling techniques tailored to you and I’ll also make a lookbook of outfits for you to refer to on days when the creative juices run low. You’ll have your own phone album dedicated to your style.

    You’ll be like a modern-day Cher from Clueless. As IF.

Does shopping stress you out?

personal shop

“If you love something, wear it all the time. Find things that suit you. That’s how you look extraordinary”

— Vivienne Westwood

Shopping can be so time-consuming and stressful. There’s so much stuff, yet somehow finding items that you like, that fit, that last, that work for your shape, reflects your amazing personality and will be a team player in your wardrobe can feel well, basically impossible.

You haven’t got the time to scroll, or to wander aimlessly round stores, or to stand in queues, or to package up and return things, and you don’t have the time or the capacity to stand in a fitting room feeling crap about yourself.

My personal shopping sessions are more of an ‘instore-trying-on-and-learning-experience’, (but that didn’t have quite the same ring to it). Whether it’s filling a few gaps from your wardrobe edit or learning about new and exciting brands for you, the personal shop is tailored to you and your goals. We don’t wander shop floors - instead focusing on trying clothes and brands pre-selected for you. Much less stressful, much more enjoyable.

  • This service costs £350 for 3.5 hours.

    The personal shop service can happen at whichever location has the best availability of brands for you. Generally, they are either on Kings Road or a Westfield, but this can be decided during our consultation.

Which colours bring out your natural glow?

colour analysis

“The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you”

— COCO CHANEL

Is your whole wardrobe black, nearly black and basically black? Do you head into shops with no idea what colours suit you? Do you feel washed out in some colours but you’re just not really sure why?

Colour analysis is on its comeback tour, because more and more people are embracing the power of knowing exactly what colours suit them. It’s all about learning what shades suit you best by analysing the undertone to your skin and also the colours that best reflect your personality. It’s a whooole science, and whilst I won’t get geeky here - it’s SO cool.

How does it help? Well, wearing the right colours will bring out your natural glow. You’ll have a palette of precision colours to take shopping, which becomes easier because you’ll head straight to the items you suit (and can politely ignore the rest). It also applies to make-up, nails, hair and even interior colour choices! Plus, we’ll talk all about how to start wearing colour, how to put colours together and how to incorporate your colours into your wardrobe.

We’ll even talk about how to use colour psychology to your advantage. And for most people, your colours stay the same even as you age. So it’s a long term investment.

  • This service costs £150 for 1.5 hours in central London.

event styling

“Playing dress up begins at age five and never truly ends”

— KATE SPAde

Have you got an event coming up and need a stylist’s touch? Dressing for an event can feel pressured, particularly with photos and social media. You want to look back on photos from special occasions and smile.

The event shopping service is a more concise, budget-friendly version of a personal shop, with one goal in mind. Whether we’re looking for the perfect accessories to style something you already own, learning all about the sustainable world of rentals or simply shopping for a new look, I’ll pre-select everything for you so your time is spent productively trying on, and we stay focused on finding something right for you and your event.

“every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want”

frequently asked questions

  • I am based in London but can travel wherever the service takes me! If you’re located further away, then we can chat about how best I can travel to you.

  • I am happy to discuss and work within all sorts of different budgets, but if you’re serious about a personal shop, then you’ll need a bit of money to spend.

  • At the moment, no. It’s so personal that in my opinion, the services only work in person. I am super happy to do the initial chats over Zoom before the service if it’s more convenient though.

    Of course I am open to discussions regarding online services for personal circumstances, just drop me a message here and we’ll chat!

  • Opening up your wardrobe can feel really exposing and vulnerable, and I totally understand that. I don’t care what state it’s in, I love clothes and to me, it’s just an opportunity to play!

    If there’s anything I can do to make you feel more comfortable, just let me know! I am all about empowerment and bringing out your best gorgeous self.

kind words from clients

  • "I couldn’t recommend Lydia enough, her advice has changed my life."

    Lydia has completely changed the way I shop. My wardrobe finally only has things in it that make me feel good. I can’t believe what a difference colour analysis has made to the way I dress, but more importantly the way I feel! Lydia has taught me how to wear what I already had at home and make small changes to the way I wear them. I shop smarter now knowing what lengths, styles and colours suit me, essentially saving money by not being sucked into fast fashion deals.

  • "My experience working with Lydia exceeded my expectations."

    My experience working with Lydia exceeded my expectations. The preparation, shop and client care really goes a long way to make the service much more enriching than just a personal shop. It’s been educational and has given me the confidence to enjoy discovering my style!

  • "The brands she advised were spot on and affordable and related totally to what we had discussed before to make each item work in various ways."

    Lydia is an excellent, very professional and client oriented stylist. She is also very nice and It was a pleasure to go through my wardrobe with her and not only to throw out some clear wallflowers but also to match more items and colours than I had expected to throw up completely new outfits. In the subsequent mood board which arrived two days later she added more relevant advice on brands and items that were missing from the wardrobe.

  • “It has been transformative and I would definitely recommend!”

    I have always struggled with my image, hiding under baggy t-shirts or black clothes which really isn’t me as a person, but this all changed with Lydia! She taught me what colours make me pop and gave me the confidence to wear them, she taught me how to shop without crying and instead leave with clothes that I love, and she also taught me how to style my wardrobe so I can have so many more outfits without stress!

  • "Lydia’s advice and expertise is second to none!"

    Lydia’s advice and expertise is second to none! I now understand what colours work for me and why, and how to introduce them without having to buy a whole new wardrobe. She made me feel so much more confident, and now I can go shopping knowing exactly what I need to be looking for. I can’t recommend her enough!

  • "I am recommending her services to anyone willing to up their game!"

    I'm so happy I finally got my colours done by Lydia. She's an amazing ray of energy, and her excitement in knowing what this process can do for her clients is palpable and contagious. I left our session excited to use my new knowledge, most definitely for the professional environment. I am now smarter and more confident in my choices to appear and embody my best energy in any scenario. I am recommending her services to anyone willing to up their game!

  • "Lydia is sensational!"

    The whole day was so special - from trying on the items she had prepared before we met, and her guidance and help and her knowledge with little styling adjustments that taught me so much about how to transform a look, we really focused on carefully choosing a few things. I’ve worn something every day since and I’m obsessed with everything, all down to Lydia. Plus it’s fun - it’s like shopping with your best friend!

  • "Now with Lydia’s advice, I feel so energised to put combinations together"

    Having a wardrobe edit has given me a whole new outlook. I used to feel like I had nothing to wear, buying so many items without thought and not wearing them, and then wearing the same few things and combinations over and over. I realised I already had everything I needed without needing to go out and find my fix from buying new. Now my fix comes from the excitement of creating new outfits and it has given me a massive confidence boost. I can now shop with knowledge of what I need instead of impulsive buys that have sat in my wardrobe and have never been worn. Thank you Lydia.

  • "Lydia’s bubbly and friendly personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. I can’t recommend this more."

    I had such an informative and fun time, from learning what colours are best suited for me and a revamping of my wardrobe for the better. It’s made clothes shopping so much more enjoyable than before and given me so much more confidence to wear them. Lydia’s bubbly and friendly personality made the whole experience so enjoyable. I can’t recommend this more. Thank you Lydia for finding the old me again!
