Kind Words From Clients

“Lauren has a gift for making style an artform and shares her knowledge so generously...I have gained so much from her expert tips. My sincerest thanks to her, she is such a beautiful person, in every sense of the word."

Margaret

“Lauren embodies what it means to be stylish. She is warm, approachable, professional and, irreplaceable. She brings life to every project and enthusiasm to every day; a true joy to work with.”

Erin Fraser, Blancspace Maison

“On arrival Lauren immediately put me at ease. We discussed my preferences and Lauren made me feel comfortable to challenge them. Lauren’s welcoming and caring nature throughout the whole style session lead me on a wonderful journey trying on different styles and fabulous clothes. I have come away with lots of new ideas and knowledge on what to try and what will suit me. Thank you for such a fun experience.”

Allison

“Lauren met up with me a week before our big day to get to know me and start researching the best plan of attack for a super efficient shopping experience. She helped me out by coming to a cafe in my neighbourhood. We started chatting and I loved her immediately. She was amazingly knowledgeable, trendy, extremely friendly, understanding and respectful. I learnt a great deal in that 30 minutes and was super excited for our day.

My 15 year old daughter was welcomed to join in for the special day... during the wardrobe overhaul and shopping. Lauren made some amazing suggestions, and she helped me matchup jewellery, shoes, jackets with a 'base' wardrobe, creating at least 20 outfits with just a few clothes. Lauren also offered fabulous suggestions for clothes better suited to my body shape. I had always steered clear of high waisted items but with her demonstrations I now know this is my new look. I feel like a new woman! I’m finding myself more confident in taking the time to piece together my daily looks.”

Megan

“I have been working with Lauren for about 7 years and during this time she has made shopping less stressful, timely and fun. She has helped me find clothing for work, casual outings and formal occasions while challenging me to try on clothing that I would never have tried myself. Lauren is very professional and selects stores that fit your budget. As a ‘over 50’s’ client she has never made me feel old or not ok with my shape. I never feel pressured into buying anything and feel very blessed to have Lauren in my life. If you are thinking about using the services of a stylist, no matter your age, I whole heartedly recommend Lauren.”
