Testimonials - Vogue Stylists

I had the Vogue Stylists ‘2 Day Fashion Frenzy’ in April 08 and I am thrilled with the results. If you are in need of a clothing overhaul then I have no hesitation in recommending this fantastic service to you.

After recently being divorced my confidence in my appearance had taken a bit of a bashing. Now being 35 I was also very aware of not dressing too young whilst also wanting to keep up with the latest trends, and not dressing too old either! A clothing dilemma!! I had fallen into a trap of buying lots of clothes and then spending my valuable time taking them all back again as I felt they didn’t suit me. Then Vogue Stylists were recommended to me.

The first part of the service is a meeting to establish what your clothing needs are. I found this really useful as I was able to tell Jenny, my stylist, exactly what I wanted from her service. Next she gave my wardrobe a much needed make over, suggesting ways of teaming up my existing clothes. This was great as I had not thought of wearing certain clothes with others and meant that I wasn’t left with nothing in my wardrobe at all!!!

Jenny recommended purchasing certain key items that were missing from my wardrobe that would pull it all together. She then e mailed me a list of clothes she had picked out for me to look at on the internet. I found this useful as it gave me an opportunity to look at the clothes in the comfort of my own home and give her my feedback. The clothes she had picked were lovely and I felt she had definitely got my style right!

We then embarked on the final part of my ‘2 Day Fashion Frenzy’ – a day at the Trafford Centre. This was fantastic. We got most of the items mentioned and also some others. We also bought some essential accessories and make up to complete my new looks.

Thanks to Vogue Stylists I now have a range of clothes in my wardrobe that fit me perfectly, go together in lots of different ways, meaning I have a variety of different outfits for different occasions. All of the outfits suit my shape perfectly and make the most of what I have. The tips Jenny has given to me during this experience mean that I now feel confident to go out and buy clothes on my own, and won’t be spending my life taking them all back again!!!

I have no hesitation in recommending Vogue Stylists services to you. A professional efficient service that has made a real difference to how I see myself. Thank you Jenny!

.I found my session with Vogue Stylists to be very helpful and informative, the stylist really focused on what I wanted and needed and quickly tuned into my style and suggested different items that would suit my age and build. I found her suggestions of how to put different outfits together extremely helpful. She also made me realise just how important the little things are, for example, how just putting in a pair of inexpensive diamante earring studs can make you feel like a million dollars!

Vogue Stylists came to do a wardrobe makeover for me a week or so ago and I can’t tell you how much better I feel. At last my wardrobe doesn’t scare me when I open it. I can see what clothes I have and they are now in an order that makes my life so much easier. Instead of grabbing the first thing that my hand touches because I haven’t the time to put things together, once I’ve dressed the kids and made the beds and put the packed lunches together, etc. etc., all my clothes are sorted into an order which makes it easy to see what goes with what and I always feel appropriately dressed for wherever I’m going or whatever I’m doing.

It became apparent whilst doing the wardrobe makeover that I didn’t have any basics so I also had the personal shopping experience. This was a real eye opener for me as I tried on clothes that I wouldn’t have picked up before and was really surprised at how they looked on me. I was also surprised when I tried on clothes that I would have usually picked, and probably bought, that Vogue Stylists were honest with me pointing out why they didn’t suit me and what style and size I should be trying on. I would have come home with black trousers that didn’t fit quite right and would have been uncomfortable to wear but I would have thought they looked ok. Instead I came home with a pair of trousers that suited my size and shape and felt really comfortable to wear. I now find myself looking at other people in the street and noticing where there clothes don’t quite fit right.

It’s amazing how with a little help and inspiration you can feel so much more confident and comfortable with yourself and able to be a bit more adventurous in what you choose to wear.

Dear V.S,
I would like to thank you for the invaluable help you gave me in organizing my wardrobe for my world trip. As you know, I was feeling very low about my dress situation, shopping had become a nightmare. At 62 you still want to be stylish without being too ‘mutton dressed as lamb’. Well you saved the day with your service, Holiday shop & pack. The outfits you put together made dressing and packing a pleasure, it was so easy.

I now look forward to our personal stylist experience for my wedding outfit and would also like to hear your advice re hair and make up.
Thanks again for the wonderful boost to my confidence; your expertise and fashion sense was worth every penny!

Not having too much spare time on my hands but being definitely in need of freshening up my wardrobe, I contacted Vogue Stylists to come round and review what I needed, as I only tended to go shopping for clothes about twice per year.

Jen, who was my personal stylist, did a full review of my current wardrobe, and carried out a full questionnaire to get a better idea of my requirements. This was really informal and Jen really put me at ease. She made some suggestions that I liked and so about one week later, Jen e-mailed me with her ideas, which consisted of 15 garments and website links so I could check them out really easily prior to my shopping trip. I really liked what Jen suggested and thought she had really taken on board what I liked along with other factors like height, build and skin tone, what I actually needed, and which shops I liked to buy from, such as Ted Baker, M&S and John Lewis.

From what Jen suggested, I bought some dark jeans from Tommy Hilfiger, tan casual shoes from M&S and a cardigan top from Ted Baker. Some of the clothes Jen suggested were a bit out of my comfort zone (we agreed to this beforehand) but I ended up buying them and I was really pleasantly surprised that they suited me, as in the past I would not have chosen those styles or colours. Jen also suggested a linen shirt from Linea at the House of Fraser, but I couldn't find the exact one so I bought a similar linen shirt from Gant, and a matching jumper.

Vogue Stylists gave me a framework and a great list of suggestions of what would work on me, so even if I didn't buy that exact garment, I could find similar at other stores. I will also be able to take the list on future shopping trips. The clothes that I have bought have really transformed my current wardrobe and renewed my interest in clothes, and have also given me loads of confidence.

I thought that Vogue Stylists was great value for money because it saved me loads of time, because like most guys in the past I tend to wander aimlessly from shop to shop. I was buying clothes that I actually needed and complemented my existing wardrobe, so was not shelling out on clothes that I didn't really need. Most of all, Vogue Stylists has really given me a fresh confidence in myself. From a guy's perspective I would recommend it to anyone to give it a go.

Thank you so much for your help.

After watching makeover programmes on the TV, I was a bit nervous about having someone come and look at my wardrobe, I wondered if it was going to be embarrassing or worse still... humiliating!. However, your professional, sensitive and friendly approach made it a much more relaxed and fun experience, more like having a friend come round and give me some honest opinions.
It was interesting discussing what I considered to be my good and bad points and to hear your version, it has boosted my opinion of myself and I actually feel much happier about my figure....what can I say about that except... WOW!.

I'm a bit of a hoarder and I found it much easier to be decisive about what I actually needed to keep while you were there, I'm not sure how good I will be when you're not!, but your suggestions for organising my wardrobe should hold me in good stead and help to reduce my hoarding tendencies.

I loved the ideas you had for changing my wardrobe and making the most of the clothes I already had. You helped me to look at myself and the way I choose clothes differently, even down to the way I shop! I hate trudging round shops so I'm really pleased about your idea to browse for clothes on the internet, I'm sure I'll enjoy this method much more.

I'm absolutely delighted with the wardrobe makeover, it has helped me to feel good about myself by highlighting my good points, helped me to organise my wardrobe more efficiently, and helped me to change the way I shop to a way that suits me better. I have enjoyed all of it, thank you so much, I hope we'll keep in touch, Anne

I used Vogue Stylists for the 2 day Fashion Frenzy. Being a hoarder the wardrobe makeover gave me clarity on what to keep, and it was a very cathartic experience.

Shopping with Jen was great fun; she kept me focused, took me to shops I had not particularly used before, some being a revelation to me which are now on my favourites list. She also got me in colours and garments I would never have considered before, which turned out to be very flattering. I definitely got a full re-style and now feel very chic in my new spring wardrobe.

The lessons I have learnt will stay with me, no longer will my wardrobe be full of impulse buys with the labels still on as I have nothing to go with them. Thank you Jen for such a great experience, and I will no doubt be in touch when an outfit is next required for a special occasion.

Vogue Stylists wardrobe makeover was superb. It allowed me to clear out many clothes that were inappropriate, outdated and unsuitable, but also brought home to me the costly mistakes I had made with many of my ill considered and often impulse purchases.

Having trimmed down my existing wardrobe and really identified what I liked, disliked and required going forwards, my stylist produced a comprehensive email detailing various items of clothing that filled the gaps and complimented my remaining outfits. The list was ideal for me as it not only listed the store where I could obtain the recommendations but in many cases the actual product code which meant purchasing the items was made so simple.

I would thoroughly recommend Vogue Stylists to anyone who is looking to make the most of their clothes, but who has not got the time, effort or knowledge to sort it themselves.

As a teenager and in my twenties I knew what I liked when it came to clothes which clothes suited me, knew the fashions. My body shape suited the fashions too - I didn't even need to try items on when out shopping. However....2 kids later, a hefty mortgage, and other priorities I somehow lost my way. No time to shop, I'd go to one shop where I could park outside and wizz in and out. Even then... all that choice, I'd go dizzy and come out with nothing!!

Then I heard about Vogue Stylists and their services. At first I was a bit apprehensive but as soon as I opened the door I knew there was nothing to fear. The initial consultation was great - 2 and a bit hours later we'd discussed all sorts. Jen, my stylist, made me recognise my good bits (She definitely has a bit of a counsellor role!).

We then arranged a date forJen to come and rifle through my wardrobe. Jen made suggestions about what went with what, ie work clothes could be put with casual to make a fresh look, ideas about dressing pieces up with jewellery.

Jen went away with lots of notes and obviously spent masses of time internet shopping on my behalf...the result was a summary of all the items she felt would complement my wardrobe. Each item had a summary of why she had chosen it, what to wear it with and the type of occasion. Jen chose some cheaper items and some more classic items that won't date and worth spending a bit on. Some items were there to take me out of my comfort zone- but I liked them.

I have since gone and purchased a number of Jen's suggestions and they've worked out really well.
Jen has taken the fear out of fashion, shopping, etc. She suggested a magazine that's good to keep on top of what's new-I buy it on a regular basis now.
