I spent a lovely few hours with Kerrie having a wardrobe edit, like many people I have a lot of clothes but nothing to wear !Kerrie is such a warm and friendly person who instantly puts you at ease and she makes the daunting experience of dragging all your clothes out of the wardrobe and trying them on a fun experience !She shares her knowledge and experience and tactfully suggests why certain clothes styles and colours do or don't work for your body shape. She sends an email after the session with all the tips we talked about so you don't have to remember them all at the time. Kerrie also gave me some great links to suppliers of items that I was missing from my wardrobe. I definitely recommend Kerrie to my friends and family and If you’re thinking about booking a session just do it !

Kerrie is great. I had an excellent personal styling session with her, during which we reviewed my existing wardrobe to make better use of the clothes I already own (a big sustainability tick for me!), as well as going through which colours suit me - something I'd never really paid attention to before. I now have more confidence with which colours to wear and what suits me. I'd definitely recommend Kerrie's services to anyone looking for a confidence boost and/or just to mix things up a bit. Thanks, Kerrie!

I had my first wardrobe consultation with Kerrie via Zoom and all I can say is that it was fabulous. Kerrie has a structure to her work and brings with her years of experience which just flows through, making it such an enjoyable and productive session. I now know what outfits I have for going out, for work and what small additions I need to make to my wardrobe. Plus it's now nice and organised. I'd highly recommend Kerrie and it's lots of fun too.

If you're looking for a style "tune-up" I couldn't recommend Kerrie highly enough. I was looking for some tips about choosing colours and clothes for my online training videos and Zoom meetings and as a colourblind and fashion-anxious middle-aged male I wasn't sure what to expect from a style consultation! However, Kerrie turned a topic that I've consciously avoided in the past into something rather interesting and fun. She identified my colour type and then presented me with a simple set of compatible colour combinations. She even sent a bunch of colour swatches through the post to help me make decisions in future. I now feel I have a much better understanding of why certain clothes and colours work better than others and I'm equipped with practical tips for making style decisions in the future. Thanks so much!

I had a fantastic online session with Kerrie Ellis today. She is just so good at helping people find their own style and sparkle. Its not about spending lots but about putting things together well to suit you as a person. She has a real gift- and makes the whole experience gentle, easy and a pleasure. I feel really sorted and inspired! So glad I found her!!

Kerrie put me at ease from the outset. So interesting to understand the best colours for me and the wardrobe audit was good fun and gave me lots of pointers to improve how I put outfits together in the future. Highly recommended.

I spend a fabulous morning with Kerrie talking through my colours and sorting my wardrobe, whilst we were doing that I could clearly see why I should not wear some colours. We cleared out a lot of clothes, scarfs and coats and I did not put any of them back as it rather defeats the object! I made sure before booking this I had put aside some money for new clothes as I have a small wardrobe. But Kerrie was still able to find ways of putting items in my wardrobe together to have that wow factor. I now feel that I can look really good in clothes and be able to knock a few years off my age. My recommendation is book this and you will feel fab and you don’t need a wardrobe full of expensive clothes to do it!!

Kerrie was really lovely and helpful! It was really interesting to find out which colours I suited and she made really good suggestions. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I spent a very enjoyable couple of hours with Kerrie having a Colour Analysis. Kerrie is a warm and friendly person who shares her knowledge and advice in a very gentle and non patronising way. I came away having been entertained, educated and enlightened. I would have no hesitation recommending Kerrie. If you’re thinking about booking a session just go for it, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

It was so lovely meeting you yesterday Kerrie.Your initial introduction put me at ease and it was great you took the time to get to know me and my lifestyle before moving straight into the style consultation.You gave a really personal touch to my session and helped me to understand my shape, style and how to make the most of myself and show off my best bits - which I didn’t think existed!!It was also great you spent the time with me going through some of the clothes from my wardrobe that I brought along, helping me to style some of them in the best way and what colours work best for me too. The day after meeting you I took the tags off, wore one of the jumpers with confidence and had 4 compliments which was so lovely and that was all down to you, so thank you.I’ve already had a wardrobe sort out and am much more confident going shopping now and understanding materials, colours, styles and even patterns that work for me.Thank you again. I’d love to come back and see you again for some future guidance! Maybe one day! x

The session with Kerrie was brilliant, highly recommended! We did a 'Style and Wardrobe Edit' session, starting off with identifying my colour type and style type, then Kerrie went through my whole wardrobe to identify the pieces that do and don't suit me. I learned so much, and reviewing the wardrobe was a true eye opener... I’ve got a big pile of clothes to get rid off now (I think some of these I’ve been trying to get rid of for years!) and on Kerrie's recommendation got myself some Dylon dye pods and have dyed some of my boring white & beige clothes in the bright colours that suit me best - it's like I have a whole new wardrobe now!! A very insightful session that was lots of fun - I'm glad I found Kerrie on Google, and cannot recommend her highly enough!

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Kerry and spend the day with her. I was able to learn so much about choosing the right colours and styles and picked up some great new items at the shops. I definitely recommend booking some time with Kerry.

I was gifted by my mum (who has also seen Kerrie!) a colour consultation.Kerrie was so welcoming and makes you feel like you're old friends very quickly!This is such a fab experience for anyone, of any age to have done. I learnt something completely new about myself which will stay with me forever; as i'll always know the best colours to suit me!A gift that keeps on giving!

Kerrie is just fabulous. Her knowledge is brilliant and the rapport that she builds with her client is incredible. In a relaxed, informal consultation, Kerrie worked through colours , making suggestions without telling or pressurising the client to accept her opinion. A lovely relaxing morning that I would highly recommend. This would be a great treat for yourself or for a gift for someone.

I am so grateful to Kerrie for helping me to take time to consider my style identity and put together (in just a few hours) the start of a complete wardrobe refresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent with Kerrie, it gave me a much needed confidence boost after the birth of my second child and encouraged me to rethink how I approach shopping and putting clothes together. Kerrie is so friendly, open and professional that I felt completely at ease throughout and had a great time shopping with someone it felt like I'd known longer than a few hours. I can't recommend Kerrie enough!

Excellent, just excellent.Our first trip to Kerrie was for my husband who is always, asking does this colour suit me? Kerrie was excellent with him, the session was just the right length (2hrs) and had enough detail, but wasn't too fluffy. He left knowing what colours suit him and what shapes work for him in styling. He really enjoyed it. Kerrie was great. My next trip was to learn what suited me, I learnt so much, I now understand my shape, what colours suit me and what styles I should wear to flatter my shape. I thoroughly recommend Kerrie to anyone who is interested in, either a) how they can make the current trends work for them, or b) what styles and shape will suit them best. My session with Kerrie was for 4hrs, it is honestly the best 4hrs I have ever spent. Thank you Kerrie.

Lovely experience! I enthusiastically recommended Kerrie to a lot of my friends.I went to her place for a colour consultation + make-up - I don't wear make-up much and I tend to tan a lot during the summer, so I was curious to get pointers on what colours suit me, as it seemed to change a lot across seasons.First of all Kerrie is delightful to talk to, she's insightful and she'll give you input in a direction that makes sense for your personality and lifestyle. Her company made the session especially lovely!It was super useful to be able to see colours I don't own on me, and to understand why some of them look especially nice. I got so many good indications on makeup products that suit me, both in coverage and in colour choice.Very recommended, I'll come back for more!

Such a fantastic experience with Kerrie for image consultation. It was truly eye opening and tailored to my style. Kerrie was so approachable and put me at ease straight away. It really helped me see how I could develop my wardrobe to be more cohesive but still be aligned to me as an individual. Her expertise is strong and she helped to build my confidence and be more focused on what to add so can be more cost effective. Thank you so much for your help Kerrie.
