why hire

‘style, sustainably’

a stylist?

Contrary to popular belief, personal stylists aren’t exclusively for the 1%. Some of us are here for the normal people who need a hand with their wardrobes…

so, why hire a stylist?

Confidence

What we will begin to discover together is what clothes make you feel good. Wearing what you love makes you feel good, and when you feel good you exude confidence, so you look good. You look like you.

And you’re SPLENDID, so let’s celebrate that.

It’s an investment

A short-term investment in a stylist for long-term wardrobe peace and harmony is worth it. Investing in spending time with yourself to really accept who you are and what you like, is worth it. Investing in the awareness to ignore fleeting trends and fast- fashion fads and shopping only for you, is worth it.

It’s self care

We all love a bit of self-care, but this goes further than a face mask. This is getting to know yourself, spending time with yourself, and sometimes that involves addressing the skeletons in your closet. And that’s ok, we do it together. Clothes can hold so much emotion, so often it runs deeper than a surface-level clear-out.

And of course, you need a stylist that you feel comfortable with.

We create space for the you, now

Maybe you have experienced a big change in your life, or maybe you just feel like there’s a seismic gap between the person you are now and the clothes hanging in your wardrobe. That’s ok. We will work together to help you dress for you, exactly as the perfect person you are now.

It helps your wallet

Shopping your own wardrobe and getting excited about the possibilities within? Buying less and wearing more? Shopping only for what will enhance your closet and investing in some long-term quality garms to help you become more sustainable? Laaavely. Kerching.

A bold statement, but let’s face it - if we all shopped less and wore more, the planet would be thanking us a helluva lot. Even on personal shopping sessions, my values are about less being more, a few quality pieces that will work hard for you. Chances are, you’re already sat on some mega gems in your closet and I’m going to help you realise it.

It helps the planet

A second opinion

Sometimes we all just want to ask someone what they think. Of course, I’ll be dropping in my two pence and giving you personalised advice and tools that will help reframe your approach; but my values are about giving you the power. It’s giving you the confidence to really ask yourself your own opinion, and wear then only what makes you feel good. That way, you’re learning about your personal style long after our session together. See? Investment.

It saves you time

Do you open your wardrobe in the morning and experience existential closet dread? Mornings are hard enough; the last thing you need is to spend your precious time and energy having a tantrum and throwing out the contents of your closet onto your bedroom floor. So, instead, we’ll work towards creating you a gorgeous group of garments that saves you the stress and instead leaves you feeling excited about getting dressed.

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.

  • You betcha! Talks, live stylings, spontaneous karaoke, you name it. Any updates on live styling events will be on my newsletter, which you can sign up for via the contact form here.

  • It is! Get in touch with me if the service packages don’t quite work for you.

    Maybe you’ve already had your colours done, or maybe you want a colour party with seven of your best gals! Talk to me here, I’m all ears.

kind words from clients

  • "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!

  • “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!

  • "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.

  • "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!

  • "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!
