Welcome to The Italian Essence

Reclaim Your Style. Rediscover Your Confidence. The Italian Way.

You came to Italy — or dream of it — seeking beauty, inspiration, and a life that feels more you.


But somewhere along the way, between navigating a new culture, caring for others, and adapting to change, you lost sight of yourself.


Your wardrobe no longer reflects the woman you want to be. Your confidence feels like a distant memory. You miss feeling elegant, vibrant, and truly seen.

​

It’s time to change that.

The Italian Essence is for the woman ready to reconnect with her essence — and dress for the life she was meant to live.

Through personal style, soulful guidance, and a sprinkle of la dolce vita, I’ll help you create a wardrobe that aligns with your true self — effortlessly elegant, unapologetically feminine, and unmistakably Italian.

​

Whether you’re strolling the streets of Rome or dreaming of doing so one day, you're in the right place.

Testimonials
what are people saying about me ...

Julia, UK

“I would highly recommend Elinor. As a 50 year old woman somehow over the years my wardrobe had become more bland and restricted. Without realising it I had got into the habit of wearing the same type of outfit to an increasing range of social activities ! My sense of style had eroded to the point it didn’t really exist.

 

Elinor helped me find it again. She was so good at engaging with what I wanted and it felt like she really respected me. Together we re-discovered the style I felt aligned with, whilst introducing fresh ideas. 

 

Putting together the new outfits made a lot of use of existing clothes and accessories (although we did have a very enjoyable shopping trip !). Wearing my new outfits has felt more uplifting than I imagined, and also a relief to be dressing in a way that reflects and aligns with who I am again! A great investment “
