At one time a personal stylist was thought of only for the likes of Hollywood film stars and media personalities, but with the rise in popularity of TV stylists like Trinny & Susannah in the 90's and more recently the very influential Gok Wan and Nicky Hambleton-Jones, more and more people are beginning to understand the benefits of such a service. Its now seen as not a luxury indulgence but as essential investment to some.  

If you think about it we've all received some kind of personal styling at one time or another, whether it was from a close trusted friend whose look you admired or from the sales consultant in your favorite boutique or store. But a professional personal stylist will take it to the next level, carefully taking into consideration everything from your size, body shape and colouring to your lifestyle, career and  personality. A good stylist will have had years of experience in many different areas and not just in fashion. With his or her skills, creativity and accumulation of knowledge they can help you find a style that suites you, edit your wardrobe, boost your confidence and probably save you money in the long run.

I'm sure we all agree with the fact, that the clothes we wear make a such difference to our confidence and well being, but if your not sure of your style and image how do you get that right. When, for example you want to project that all important first impression at an interview or you have a career change on the cards . Maybe there is a special event in your life coming up and your just not sure how to even begin to start shopping for it . Often there are times when we just loose our way, maybe we lack some confidence or we feel the clothes in the shops are just not for us.  Its easy to get stuck in a time warp and continue with the same old look we have had for years... but how aging and dull is that ! Tailoring current trends to suite you is something that comes naturally to a good stylist and a shopping expedition can be turned into a bespoke experience.

There are times when we could all do with our own personal stylist, be honest how many times have you stood peering vaguely into your wardrobe with the thought, I've nothing to wear. But still have a closet brimming with items. Enlist the help of a personal stylist and they will be able to fine-tune the contents of your wardrobe, using items you already have, adding wardrobe basics and investment pieces as well as providing you with tips and advice to redefine your style.
