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 “
