What was your biggest frustration with your style and wardrobe before working with me?
I was a total dag – didn’t know what to wear and hated shopping.
How has working with me improved this for you?
You did it all for me. I don’t think about what I wear anymore and I can’t thank you enough.
What was the best part of the process for you?
Apart from the incredible wardrobe I now have… I think the effort that you put in was the best part. Turning up on the styling day to racks full of clothes to just try on was amazing. You were so organised and you nailed it. You were supportive and encouraging which this gal needed. Thanks so much Nicole

Have you ever had decision fatigue? I did, I had it about what on earth I was going to wear, day in, day out and I could take it no longer. Recommended by a stylish friend, Nicole had me at hello, she was calm, warm and knew her stuff. She worked with me to work through my overwhelming amount of clothes with “nothing to wear” and did all the hard work, research and shortlisting of clothes, the experience was so awesome, a year later, I am back for an update.
Nicole is a true professional, she is an amazing human being and she is generous and caring, while knowing exactly what you need, even BEFORE you do!! I can not recommend her highly enough (in fact I am pretty sure in the first five minutes of meeting me, you also know about Nicole!). Thank you for being so freaking awesome!

I wanted to work with Nicole because I had too many clothes and a sense of feeling that they were the ‘old me’. Along with the practical challenges of travelling a lot I was looking for clothes for all seasons, that didn’t need ironing and could mix and match for various occasions.
Working with Nicole has reinforced the styles that are flattering for my shape and has also shown me how to turn an outfit into many with a subtle use of a different shoe or jacket.
Nicole was the best part of the process!!!! I cannot speak highly enough regarding the way Nicole made me feel. She made me feel safe, cool, beautiful and sexy. She gave me belief when I couldn’t see it and turned a process of shopping for work and my brand into something from overwhelm to complete joy! Nicole’s process has saved me soooo much time and money getting me into the clothes I wear well and sifting through all the crap and noise us women are exposed to when it comes to fashion.
My biggest frustration with my style and wardrobe before working with Nicole was my clothes were too big and not necessarily flattering to my body shape. After being styled by Nicole I have a lot more variety in my wardrobe. I absolutely loved the whole Shopping experience, and I would recommend Nicole to anyone I know. Having a wardrobe of beautiful clothes that fit allows me to have confidence in myself and what I do. Presence is so important and with Nicole’s styling guidance it’s really helped in growing to love my body shape.
What was your biggest frustration with your style and wardrobe before working with me?
I felt like I knew what I wanted but I couldn’t put it together or have the time to find it or even know what to look for
How has working with me improved this for you?
It was effortless and fun and I can’t thank you enough!
What was the best part of the process for you?
The shopping seemed effortless (for me) and the work behind the scenes and the app to follow it up with is amazing
Why did I want to work with Nicole? Well, my style and wardrobe was dull, uninspired, lazy and dowdy. After my consultations with Nicole my frustration completely changed –
I feel confident, gorgeous, more youthful and contemporary – relevant! Also, more fun and more professional. I enjoy getting dressed in the morning. I love my new wardrobe and style!!
The best part of the process for me was arriving at that David Jones dressing room and realising all those clothes, in those bright colours!!, were for me! I knew something exciting was going to happen and that actually I could look and feel amazing. Nicole, I actually loved every part of the process. The first visit you made me feel so comfortable and entitled to look and feel fabulous, I was very happy to put myself in your experienced hands. You were so diplomatic about my boring wardrobe and you pushed me forward without judgement.
You have helped me strike the perfect balance of taking pride in how I present to the world and being the best possible version of myself without feeling self-conscious or superficial.
I needed Nicole’s help – I used to find a style of shirt and jeans and pants and bought 7 of the same style in different colours. I felt frumpy and old. After working with Nicole –
OMG! the difference is amazing. I’m in styles I thought I couldn’t wear and wouldn’t suit me. I have over 150 different outfits that I look and feel beautiful in and wear with confidence. So many people have commented on how gorgeous I look, lots of them I don’t even know. I don’t have to worry about wearing a different look every day because I look at the app the night before, get my outfit ready and look absolutely fabulous.
You made me feel beautiful, you worked with my shape and helped me understand my shape. You are so much fun to shop with. I loved that we got to chat before we met because I’m from Sydney and you’re in Melbourne. I appreciated that you sent an example of the photos you needed to get what my shape was. The photos you sent weren’t of a skinny girl, they were of a normal size woman.

What was my biggest frustration with my style and wardrobe, prior to working with Nicole? Well, I was not comfortable wearing any of my clothes anymore. I didn’t feel well represented in them. I hated my entire wardrobe! It was holding me back.
Since working with Nicole it’s been the biggest confidence boost and I feel I’ve been transported to the current decade. Who knew I could look “cool”. It actually feels like a dream come true. Like, did this just really happen to me? Working with Nicole for me was a magic carpet ride of necessary indulgence, self care and fun. And it’s not just a feeling, I have tools, strategy and a gorgeous wardrobe to elevate me to where I want to be.
The best part of the process for me was the personalisation. Not once did I feel like a cookie cutter client. I felt like a confidante and carer had gathered me up, listened, and then given me everything I needed in the most easy-for-me way. I didn’t realise how cathartic it was going to be – and validating at the same time!
One of my biggest take outs of my time with Nicole is that clothes maketh the personal brand!
My biggest frustration with my style and wardrobe was not knowing what suited me, picking clothes that didn’t make me feel great, understanding my personal style and not having a mix and match set of go-to options for different workplace scenarios. Nicole brings that perfect blend of getting to know who you really are and reflecting that through her advice and style selections. When asked what the best part of the process for me was my answer was – All of it – the best part was the warmth and empathy that Nicole exhibited at every step AND learning how to wear flats, sneakers and a more casual style in the workplace, but still look contemporary and professional.
You made me feel beautiful, you worked with my shape and helped me understand my shape. You are so much fun to shop with. I loved that we got to chat before we met because I’m from Sydney and you’re in Melbourne. I appreciated that you sent an example of the photos you needed to get what my shape was. The photos you sent weren’t of a skinny girl, they were of a normal size woman.
I laughed all the way around the shops, and simply loved Nicole’s selections and the education that she shared along the way. It’s much more than the clothes, it was the experience and the learning that took it to the next level. My wardrobe is now cohesive which means I’m stylish, comfortable and warm(!) no matter what I throw on. I don’t even have to think about it, it all just works.
