"I had a very specific occasion that required an evening gown - and I had some pretty specific requirements of my own for the dress. Catherine took time to know me first before we even hit the shops - I felt like she really understood the look I was going for - elegant, unique, a bit retro but still classic, young but not too young... I felt I could really trust her opinion as I tried things on. When we found "the one" we both knew it instantly - it was perfect - and it wasn't something I would have found on my own. Thank you, Catherine!"

“I approached my first trip with Catherine with apprehension. I had just had my second child and felt very awkward about my new shape. My pre baby clothes did not feel right anymore and my post maternity clothes made me feel invisible. I wanted to get someone's point of view. I needed to get my confidence back. I am a 35 year old woman and I was starting a new chapter of my life. Catherine came around to assess my current wardrobe. She was constructive and honest but most of all she made me feel comfortable. She had a few great ideas about shortening and accessorising some existing pieces which I have now done hence saving me money. Catherine used the session to get a feel for me and my style. I had feared that she would try and impose her style on me but that could not be further from the truth. A week later, I went on an accompanied shopping trip with Catherine and she had done all the leg work and picked out some clothes that she thought would suit me. It was heaven. Rather than go in to all my usual shops and buy the same old stuff, most of which I never wore, Catherine directed and inspired me to shops I would never have gone to and pieces I would have out rightly rejected. But the biggest revelation was that Catherine was encouraging me to think of outfits rather than just one off pieces. Would this go with the other black jacket? Could I smarten it up with the scarf I had at home? What shoes would bring out the colour of the top?
Style pour moi was a strategic and practical way to shop. It has saved me so much money.
I shop with Catherine twice a year. She has become my friend but more importantly, my style guru.”

“For years, most of the clothes I bought stayed in my wardrobe and I would just stick to what I felt comfortable in (old jeans and baggy old tops). This resulted in me having quite a basic and “safe” look. The day I spent with Catherine was a real eye opener. When I tried on the clothes she had selected for me I realized that I have body shapes to be proud of. I ended up buying five new outfits, all of which fitted into my small shopping budget (including 2 dresses which I never would have worn before) and I felt so confident about my new look! It was the best feeling! She also taught me how to accessorize and which colours and clothes suit me and my complexion. Catherine was focused, honest, creative and we had a fantastic day.”
