I’ve been stuck in a rut for a while, I needed some help with what clothes work best for my body shape and guidance on my current wardrobe - keep/vinted/charity! Helen’s advice was invaluable! I feel I now have the confidence to style myself and know exactly what I need to go out and shop for! Thank you Helen x.

I knew I was really stuck with my approach to my wardrobe and dressing my body and I was excited for the session, but it far outstripped my expectations. Helen made me feel relaxed and at ease, and was SO helpful with all of my questions. My wardrobe feels refreshed with very few new additions, and Im actually excited about getting dressed again! WOOP WOOP! Thank you Helen.
Response : Thank you so much! This absolutely made my day ? I’m so happy you’re feeling refreshed and excited about getting dressed again - that’s exactly what it’s all about. It was such a joy to work with you, and I love that we could make a big impact with just a few new additions. Keep enjoying your wardrobe, and I can’t wait to hear how you get on xx.

Helen is utterly AMAZING! Cannot thank her enough for the wardrobe refresh she did for me as a surprise birthday present. She is kind, caring, knowledgeable, attentive and clever. Her eye for detail is brilliant and comes up with some fabulous ideas that I would never have thought of. Following the session she sent me a follow up with everything we'd discussed and more. Absolutely great, would definitely recommend.
Response : Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! It means the world to hear how much you loved your wardrobe refresh. I’m so glad I could help make your surprise birthday present special and that you enjoyed the ideas and follow-up. Your kind words truly warm my heart. Thank you again ? .

I had a virtual shopping experience with Helen last month and I loved it, would highly recommend it. I was short for time and money, but really wanted Helen's expertise and advice on finding the perfect outfits for some special occasions I had coming up, so I could feel and look my best! It was such a great and simple app to use. Seeing new items put together to make outfits with some of your existing wardrobe. You just have to click on the links to buy the items you wanted from the online stores, which are delivered to you to try on at home. I'm a visual person, so if you can't have a personal shopping experience with Helen this is also an amazing way to get the perfect outfit, being able to visualise it all put together before trying it on. Thank you so much for your help x.
Response : Thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the virtual shopping experience and found it helpful for putting together the perfect outfits. It’s wonderful to know that the app made things simple and convenient for you. Helping you feel and look your best for your special occasions means so much to me. I truly appreciate your kind words ? .

I was gifted with Helen's expertise for a birthday present. My husband found Helen and she was highly rated, was local and reasonably priced. However; I can't believe it took me 10 months to actually book it in! I was concerned I'd left it too late, but when I was ready, so was Helen. It felt like a daunting experience having a wardrobe consultation and then shopping, but, Helen was INCREDIBLE and I wish I'd done it sooner. I had 4 hours for the wardrobe consultation and it was so therapeutic. I ended up doing other purges around the house. Everything was recycled and has found new homes. It felt so good to let go off clothes that weren't serving me and that were giving me choice fatigue every time I had to get dressed, I really hated choosing what I was going to wear in the morning and for special occasions.Now. I LOVE IT! I love getting dressed! I love getting ready! I have everything I need and we spent under my budget! I learnt so much about my body type too, and what works for me. I also learnt how to style myself and how I can make different outfits by tweaking the collar, sleeves or length of the item. I also now have an app that has all of my items of clothing in one place! I took photos and added them which took about half an hour and now I know exactly what's in my wardrobe so I if I'm out and see something I can look at my wardrobe and see if it would work with what I already have. Also; all the clothes I have work together so I have fewer choices but way more options.For the shop, Helen, looked and put aside clothes/items before I got into Birmingham which was a dream and she ran to get different sizes, colours etc whilst I got changed so the time we had was effective. It was also black Friday week and Helen was great at asking if there were any deals on. Which there were! :D Helen is personable, kind, friendly and easy to talk to. I didn't feel judged by my existing wardrobe nor by the look I was going for. Thank you, Helen.Overall, couldn't recommend enough! And if you book it, don't wait to lose the weight or any other excuses you might have. Just do it. You'll probably end up losing the pounds because you feel better about yourself, or, you might even decide you're perfect the way you are.Moreexpand_more
Response : Hey Lorie. Thank you so much for this incredible review! It was such a pleasure working with you and being part of your journey to transform your wardrobe and rediscover your style. I'm so glad to hear how much you're loving getting dressed now - it’s exactly why I do what I do. You made the experience so enjoyable, and your thoughtful approach to the process truly paid off. Thank you for trusting me and for sharing such kind words xx.

Sorting out my wardrobe and having Helen help me create outfits with clothes I already own means I am empowered to dress well and has given me more confidence. I love clothes but had definitely got stuck in a rut. She is both approachable and kind in persuading you to make helpful changes and try new things. I am left with the ability to style myself and know where the gaps in my wardrobe are. Thank you so much ? .
Response : Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It was such a pleasure helping you rediscover your style and make the most of your wardrobe. I’m thrilled to hear you feel more confident and empowered, it’s exactly what I aim for. Thank you for trusting me with this process xx.

Helen is not just a stylist—she's a true listener who takes the time to understand your personality and lifestyle to create a wardrobe that truly works for you. I used to hate everything in my wardrobe, feeling old and outdated, and I've never enjoyed shopping. But Helen changed all that. She helped me fall in love with the clothes I already owned, and guided me to find a few key pieces that I now love wearing. I feel so much more confident in choosing what to wear each day, and for the first time, I actually look forward to getting dressed in the morning. I even enjoy shopping now, thanks to her! I have had so many compliments since I worked with Helen and I tell everybody about her. .
Response : Thank you so much Kim! I’m thrilled to hear you’ve fallen back in love with your wardrobe and look forward to getting dressed each morning! Xx.

I have known Helen for some time and her enthusiasm, motivation and expertise never fails to amaze me. Helen will tailor your appointment to suit your requirements and she has not just once but twice come to help me sort out my wardrobes when it all got a little overwhelming. We were not ruthless but sensible in what we decided to remove and get rid of and I now have clothes off back of doors and cupboards and now arranged beautifully back in the wardrobes. There is still work to be done but I now have the confidence and motivation to carry on and get rid of what no longer suits or fits me and have new outfits I can now put together. Helen was constructive and has given me advice on what is missing from my wardrobe and what to look for when shopping. I will always turn to her for advice, she is so personable, so easy to get along with and always looks amazing. Thank you once again Helen - you know I will be back for more. Kim.
Response : Thank you so much Kim for your heartfelt words! It’s always a pleasure working with you, and I’m so glad I could help make your wardrobe feel more manageable and inspiring. Knowing that you now feel motivated and confident to continue is the best feedback I could receive. I’m always here for you whenever you need advice or a helping hand. Thank you again for your trust and kindness, I look forward to seeing you soon xx.

I first met Helen back in February this year and can honestly say it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. When I first made contact with Helen I simply wanted some help going through my wardrobe and eliminating items that I wasn’t wearing of which there were quite a few. Before our first meeting I spent time completing a form so Helen had an idea on my style, colours, likes and dislikes and what I needed help with. Whilst this took time it was an exercise worth doing as she then had an idea of what I wanted before we met. The first job was to go through my existing clothes of which there were many. We looked at every piece in turn, decided which items didn’t make me feel great, how I could wear the items I did like by simply adding pieces to elevate the look and which items to move on after we’d discussed the reasons why. Helen was more than happy to sell items on my behalf and then using that money to buy something I could wear and enjoy. This initial consultation was invaluable so much so that we arranged a shopping afternoon in Birmingham. I came away with such a lovely collection of things from trousers, dresses, blouses, shoes and accessories all of which I wear and wear and feel great in. I can honestly say if you want a real treat then book Helen, she is worth every penny. You will look at clothes in a different way and also have the confidence to wear them. I have had so many comments on how different I look and even my daughters are now borrowing my clothes. I will be booking Helen to help me with my Autumn/Winter wardrobe in the next few weeks. A truly lovey lady and like spending time with a best friend, thanks so much Helen .Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you so much for your incredible review! It was such a pleasure working with you, and I’m thrilled to hear how much you’ve enjoyed the experience and the results. Helping you rediscover your wardrobe and find items that make you feel confident and fabulous is what I love most about what I do. I’m so glad you’re getting compliments and even sharing your wardrobe with your daughters, what a wonderful testament to the transformation. I can’t wait to help you in 2025! Thank you again for your kind words and trust, it truly means the world to me xx.

I recently had the pleasure of a Wardrobe Consultation with Helen …… WOW! She knows her stuff! Not only did she suggest new pieces she thought would suit me and compliment my wardrobe, she also helped style existing pieces, suggested altering a couple of items to make them more wearable and suggested “as new” pieces that could be sold. It was a two hour session, which did pass very quickly, but we covered a lot of ground and it really inspired me to revisit clothes I had forgotten about or just didn’t know how to style. Subsequently, she sent me links to a few new pieces she thought would suit me - these are things I would not have previously considered! But I took her advice, ordered all of them and guess what? She was right, I love them all and feel great! Helen is highly professional and knowledgeable but above all a lovely, fun person to work with. Thank you so much Helen …… I’ll be back!

I turned 40 this year and wanted to improve my self confidence, so I researched image consultants. I asked Helen to be very thorough with my wardrobe, as I seem to collect items just to end up organising them by colour and never wearing any of it! Helen listened to my concerns and thoughts on what I wanted, and believe me, this was difficult because I didn't really know what I wanted. We discussed my body shape and the colour/pattern palette that suit me. Helen and I went through every item in my wardrobe and I was left with clothes that either fit me, suited me or would become part of an outfit. My main issue were trousers because of my short height, since meeting with Helen, I have embraced wide leg and tapered trousers. I enjoy pairing colours and accessories and I'm starting to feel confident in the outfits that I put together. Helen has given me the confidence to make sensible/bold choices. If you want to revamp yourself or just clear some space then I recommend Helen. She truly wants to make people feel great about themselves!Moreexpand_more

Helen was amazing! I had been given a “consultation with Helen” gift voucher as a present, and it was one of the best presents I’ve had! The consultation didn’t just focus on my shape, Helen also really got to know who I was so she could help me with my style, as well as showing me how to make the best of my wardrobe. Would recommend to anyone!

I’ve always wanted to indulge myself in a personal stylist experience, indulging it was not though. This has been transformational for me! From the initial chat over the phone with Helen providing her with a brief to meeting her at my home and working through my wardrobe to shopping in Birmingham to find the gaps in my wardrobe has given me such a boost of confidence again. I had most definitely lost my way with fashion - raising children, losing yourself in the process and then dealing with the menopause and a changed body shape, I needed help! I wanted to look polished and sharp again. Helen provides you with a bespoke service and the best knowledge for my body and lifestyle. One of my biggest takeaways is that I’ve learnt to ignore the range in sizing now across the shops. For example, I would never shop in Zara as I could never get into their size 10’s! I feel confident enough now to build on my wardrobe by myself and utilise all items in my wardrobe rather than just a select few. I am getting so many comments about my new look at work, my vibe is different! I am so pleased with my new wardrobe and I look forward to reviewing autumn/winter with Helen also. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and so helpful after the process too with any questions. Helen, thank you so much for helping me, you’ve imparted so much education that I will use in years to come. Above all, what a lovely lady you are. I wish you continuing success with your business, you deserve it xxx.Moreexpand_more

Helen is amazing. She is knowledge and understanding, kind and fun! Shopping with Helen literally took away all the stress and was such an easy and rewarding experience. I’ve come away with a fabulous mix and match wardrobe that suits so many occasions and a revitalised style which I understand and love.

Helen has been my go-to stylist for 2 occasions in the last decade. When I need a fresh look or advice, she's like the honest friend with great taste and insight on the latest trends, without dating a look that I turn to. Her keen eye and personalised approach make wardrobe consultations and shopping a breeze. Some pieces she recommended a decade ago are still favorites. I'll be relying on her every six months for a wardrobe refresh. Helen is more than a stylist; she's the friend who saves you time and elevates your style effortlessly the money you invest I see as saving in the longer-term on time and getting knee-jerk items you don't need in sales etc.

Thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience with Helen - it didn’t disappoint. Helen is super professional yet fun, kind and encouraging. I came away with exactly what I wanted and needed (and encouraged out of my comfort zone). Love, love, love my purchases. I am feeling much more confident in my appearance! Thank you Helen…see you next year xx.

I first contacted Helen just over 2 years ago. I was a 70 year old man who loathed shopping. My clothes were either bought by my wife or bought when I was accompanied by her. Sadly, my wife developed dementia a few years ago and so, in desperation, I turned to Helen. It was a good move. During a short zoom call, Helen gathered the necessary information such as my size and what I was looking for. We then arranged to meet at 2pm one afternoon in October 2021. On the morning of our meeting, Helen had visited a number of shops and selected various shirts, jumpers, jeans etc which she had set aside ready for me try on later that day. I arrived at 2 pm accompanied by my youngest daughter. Less than 2 hours later I had a complete new wardrobe of stylish casual clothes and, much to my surprise, I found I actually enjoyed the experience as did my daughter. A few weeks ago I found myself in urgent need of a new suit so I again contacted Helen. Just as before, we arranged to meet at 2pm in Leamington, prior to which Helen had already identified a number of suits to choose from. Helen is warm and friendly with a lovely personality and, as my eldest daughter and I were travelling to Leamington, I felt as though I was meeting up with an old friend rather than someone I’d only met once before. There followed a very pleasant stress-free shopping trip. And the suit? It was perfect. I’m glad I found Helen – and so are my two daughters. .Moreexpand_more

I saw Helen for a wardrobe consultation. I was fed up with wasting money on things that don’t look good or worse don’t get worn. Having reached a milestone birthday, I felt I was in dire need of a revamp. After a short questionnaire at the start of the appointment, Helen worked out exactly what I needed and wanted. She was efficient and professional but fun to work with too. Just with purchasing a few basics and using clothes I already have, I now have a wearable wardrobe. More importantly the confidence to wear it! As a result, I have saved a lot of money and am more environmentally friendly. Highly recommended!

I met Helen at a local networking event and knew straight away that I wanted to work with her! Her style expertise and vibrant and warm personality stood out a mile and I'm so glad to have had her keen eye on my own wardrobe. Helen visited me at my home and carried out a thorough wardrobe consultation looking at what I already had and helping me to make it work harder. She made recommendations that suited my body shape and considered what kind of look I wanted to achieve, gently nudging me out of my comfort zone and showing me how good new things could look on me which was really eye-opening! It felt so good to clear out the old items I no longer reached for and to learn how I could create new outfits using key pieces I already had. Helen also pulled together some shoppable mood boards for me based on our discussion to help me add more colour and variation to my wardrobe. Her advice has been invaluable and gave me a real confidence boost, plus I've stopped impulse buying clothes on a whim and now make purchases more mindfully, thinking about how the item will work within my existing wardrobe. I enjoyed my time with Helen so much and she will from now on be my go-to styling expert, I would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for clothing inspiration - she is an absolute breath of fresh air and lovely to spend time with! Thank you for making me feel great Helen .

Not only is Helen so skilled at what she does but she somehow manages to be so professional AND so reassuring at the same time. I worked with Helen on a wardrobe consultancy and was over the moon with the clarity she gave me, making it so easy to see what I did and didn't need or want. I have become more playful, brave and strategic with the purchases I make now and always come back to the guiding principles we set together in just that one session. A very happy customer indeed!
