ABOUT
As a four year old dressing up in my mum's plum stiletto heels and stretchy butterfly belts that wrapped around my waist twice (hello 80's), my family all knew fashion was my thing. After taking a very different path for many years, I got that much talked about wake up call to do what I love.
Dressing well is half the battle towards feeling confident. Choosing stylish clothes that suit your look and lifestyle does not come naturally to everyone and it can be really time-consuming - why not get some help? It will save you so much time, it will save you money as you'll no longer be buying pieces that you have nothing to go with or don't fit right and so you don't end up wearing them and you'll be looking and feeling better than you ever have.
I love to mix designer pieces with high-street but there is no need to spend a fortune in order to look great. I always work within your budget. Having great basics is so important and then building from there. I love quite simple colours and shapes but with something interesting thrown in. Different textures, a pop of colour you wouldn't expect, a dressy skirt and shoe with a casual t-shirt, just a little edge to make the look your own. It is key for me to get to know what each client's personal style is and to enhance that in the best way possible.
Most of my clients start off with a wardrobe styling and editing session, which I really recommend. It allows you to show me what you have, what you like and don't like, what your shopping habits are and for me to give you lots and lots of outfit ideas for what you already have in your wardrobe. This can involve getting rid of unworn, old and out of fashion pieces that are cluttering up your wardrobe and editing down what you have so you can really see your clothes. Most of the time I find my clients have a lot of great pieces but they are struggling to put them together in a stylish and flattering way, that might not be so obvious. I have transformed how my clients look at the clothes they already have in their wardrobe. I can put together complete looks that you can easily put your hand on when rushing to get ready in the morning. Having a few different ways to wear the same item is so important so you wear your clothes over and over - you get value for the money you're spending and contribute to sustainability, which is really important. I also spot the gaps in my clients' wardrobe. Often it just takes buying a great coat, up to date jeans, a few simple tops or a couple of great pairs of versatile shoes to bring together so much of what you already have.
I recommend my clients work with their edited wardrobe for 2 - 4 weeks and then we follow it up with a shopping trip. This is when we find great pieces to plug the gaps in the wardrobe. It's always collaborative, lots of fun and I might push you outside of your comfort zone a little.
I also take clients on one-off shopping trips to find an outfit for an occasion like a work event, wedding, communion or birthday bash. Shopping for an occasion can be so time-consuming - finding a great dress or outfit but also then the right accessories to pull it together. I am always in the shops and keeping track of new stock online so I can save you a lot of time and energy showing you the best pieces around.
I offer a quarterly seasonal shopping trip to help you buy some key pieces for the season ahead. Buying a great pair of boots, a beautiful winter coat and some jeans and knits in August/September will give you the basics to see you right through until Spring. We never know when the sun is going to shine in Ireland and so investing in some Spring/Summer essentials like light dresses, a great pair of versatile sandals, some chic skirts and tops and on-trend accessories in March or April means you're sorted when you get invited to that impromptu barbeque.
If for some reason it is difficult for you to meet in person, I can put together options for an outfit for an occasion, including shoes and accessories or create a seasonal edit, which I can send to you so you can shop it online.
Working to your own personal style, your budget and your lifestyle is key to creating the perfect wardrobe that works for you and I hope I can help.
I am based in Dublin but can travel, depending on location, so please contact me to discuss further.

My male clients get so much out of wardrobe styling and personal shopping sessions, with fast decisions made, without much of a time commitment.

I love to help clients to shop clever. I carefully select pieces to suit your style, shape and budget, that will last you season after season. My personal shopping service includes a consultation with each client in advance, often following a wardrobe analysis and de-clutter, to figure out where the gaps in your wardrobe are, what pieces are missing that will pull looks together and what needs are there going forward for the season ahead. I find many of my clients fall in to the trap of buying "one-hit-wonders" because they are attracted to something that stands out that might have bright colours and patterns but which they get tired of wearing very quickly. I can help you choose versatile, and stylish pieces that you can wear in many different ways to work hard for you.

WARDROBE DECLUTTERING, ORGANISATION & STYLING
There is nothing I love more that meeting a client, getting to know their style and helping them organise their wardrobe and plan outfits from what they already have. De-cluttering and editing can be part of it. Less can often be more. You will feel excited to wear the clothes you already own after I leave as I'll give you lots of new outfit ideas. I will also spot gaps in your wardrobe and recommend key pieces to buy that are missing to pull lots of looks together.
A wardrobe edit and styling session can also work great if you are changing job, pregnant or post-pregnancy, have changed size.

TESTIMONIALS
"After three babies in five years, to say style was not my friend was an understatement! Thankfully Michelle’s consultations got me right back in step. I loved the thought process, how Michelle made me think about style - introducing texture, silhouettes and colours that I had routinely dismissed as not suiting me. My time with her has completely reframed my shopping experiences, I buy less but buy better. The real value for me however, has been getting in the practice of shopping with Michelle season on season and maintaining a fresh but not overstyled look. I would highly recommend the service. "

"As a typical male, I don't like shopping and don't think too much about what I wear. So when I got a gift of a wardrobe consultation and personal shopping trip with Michelle I have to say, I was skeptical.
I was really pleasantly surprised with the whole experience! We cleared out my wardrobe and Michelle showed me how to match up what I already had and then we had a few hours in Dundrum and we blitzed it. Michelle pushed me to try some things I would never have tried myself and I'm wearing them all time and again. It's a no brainer for me because a half day of shopping sorts me out for an entire season. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone."
