As a personal shopping destination, Bristol offers so much – from the lovely independent boutiques of Clifton Street to Cabot Circus shopping centre with 120+ stores including Harvey Nichols, and so much more in between.
The question is, with so much choice available, where do you start when you’re looking for new styles as well as clothes, shoes and accessories to elevate your wardrobe?
I know from 20 years experience of personal shopping with my clients, it can feel overwhelming to venture into any city if you don’t know what you need or what suits you!
I consider myself lucky to be an independent personal stylist living near to Bristol – it’s also one of my favourite cities to shop in! There’s creativity, vibrancy and energy here.
Are you ready to elevate your style and refresh your wardrobe?
Let me help you get the very best out of your personal shopping experience in Bristol.
Why book a personal stylist in Bristol?
As an Award-Winning Personal Stylist, with years of personal styling experience behind me, I am confident I will make your shopping experience easy and stress-free.
You will walk away with items love to wear, for years to come! Forget those impulse purchases that can be found still unworn with tags on in your wardrobe.
I will determine what you need, what you want and what will make you happy, and make a wish list of key items that will complement your existing wardrobe.
My exceptional personal shopping experiences are designed to be fun and efficient, saving you lots of time (and money!), and provide an outstanding service that is 100% tailored to you.
It is important to have good communication, which will allow me to prepare for your session before our shopping trip in Bristol.
A successful outing will begin with thorough research by me, prior to your personal shopping day. Understanding your requirements, budget and your style preferences will allow me to create your very own personalised style mood board, as well as determining key brands, visualise looks and clothing items that will be perfect for you in every way.
It will also allow me to focus on the best stores that are relevant to you, as well as eliminating those that do not. Prior to our shopping trip and at the end of the preparation process, I will have a clear vision of what brands will work and a defined style direction for you.
It is important to know and realise your budget, as this will also assist with aligning suitable stores. It will also allow me to suggest some unknown brands to you that you might not have considered in the past – this can be a revelation! One thing that amazes my clients, is the cost-per-wear ratio of some items – there is an unrecognised value in longstanding staple pieces that may cost a little more than you might have considered in the past, that are made from quality yet sustainable materials, and built to last!
Another key aspect to a successful personal shopping trip is to know your accurate sizes and body shape. Having the knowledge of store sizing will help me to prepare the right items for you. As I am sure you are aware, the sizing in stores can be skewed somewhat and this is no reflection on our beautifully unique bodies.
If you’re not sure of your correct sizes, I recommend looking in your current jeans, trousers, and the tops you wear, and let me know the sizes of these, prior to your personal shopping experience. Knowing where you bought these them from will also be very useful.
Personal Stylist Bristol – How to prepare for your personal shopping day
Although I will have most of the prep work completed prior to our visit to Bristol, there are several things you can do to give us the best possible outcome on the day.
The correct outfit is important – you do not need to dress to impress (that will come after our session!).
The best outfit choice is something that is comfortable and easy to change in and out of.
Our time together is valuable so quick and easy changes into different outfits from the clothes you are wearing will benefit us both and help make the session run more efficiently.
It will be helpful to remove any thoughts and memories of previous shopping trips from your mind that may not have been successful. Let’s leave those bad memories and experiences behind – enlisting my help as a professional personal stylist, will help you feel more confident in your fashion choices whilst helping you maximise your wardrobe by creating a wonderful variety of stylish outfits to suit you and your lifestyle.
My client’s always come away with a better understanding of what styles and colours suit them best. On top of this, I always like to try and provide ways to use your current wardrobe pieces to better effect and pair these with new items purchased on the day.
To me, my job as a stylist, is about combining old clothing, with your new pieces, giving individual clothing items, a more sustainable future, moving forward. I always have a rewear, restyle and repurpose method, which is a better environmental approach.
An important factor in preparing for your personal shopping experience is to have an open mind and to have fun! What can be better than shopping for a new capsule wardrobe and exciting outfits that you will love wearing, whilst making you look and feel amazing?
