Having Anna as my Stylist is like having a best friend that knows everything about fashion and never bores of my neediness.  When we first started working together, I was living between two countries and had wardrobes in both places - she assessed them both virtually and quickly eliminated things that did not work with my shape or what I was trying to achieve for my look - then she found all of the pieces to close the gaps (across 2 countries and 2 climates!!) - we went on a virtual shopping spree together and completed the process - so easy! I could have stopped there but I knew this was now how I wanted to live my life - no more buying things and hanging them in the cupboard (with tags on!) and never wearing them. Anna finds things she likes for me and sends them my way, or if I am out and find something I snap a photo and she approves (or does not approve) - it has saved me a fortune! Shopping sprees are the best - she chooses the looks and sizes per store - I show up, try them on - its like pretty woman! She is so terrific I now have multiple friends working with her also - this makes for a wonderful girls day out! My life is so much easier - if I have an event, am up on stage, on a date night with my husband, travelling for work or even holidaying - she will style the moment so I always look great - it is worth it for the compliments but mostly for the way it makes me feel.

Working with Anna was such a fun, positive and empowering experience. It took all of the heavy mental load off me preparing for my photoshoot, which then allowed me to show up on the day and have FUN, feel relaxed and the way that it translated on camera was priceless. Instead of feeling drained, I felt light, comfortable and completely at ease. During my time working with Anna I learnt so much about how to make things work for me, what to avoid and a whole lot of tips that come so naturally to Anna - that I never would have thought of. Anna looked after me so well, from the first interaction right up until the day of the shoot. She was a dream to work with and it was such a fun experience. I would recommend Anna over and over to anyone thinking about hiring a Personal Stylist. Don't look anywhere else, choose the best and work with Anna.

It has inspired me to change other aspects of my life I am not totally happy with and it isn’t just the clothes that have done this, it was the total experience.
— Rob

My wife and I have two young children and find it difficult to spend time shopping for clothes. Our wardrobes were full of old clothes that all had holes in them. We found Anna on the internet and decided to try using her services. She came around to our house on a Wednesday night and we went through our requirements. My wife went shopping on Thursday and I went shopping on Friday. We both had a great time shopping with Anna and then coming home and showing each other our purchases. We set a budget and both of us came in under budget, I actually spent more than my wife.

At one point Anna tried to quiz me on what I had learned at the first couple of stores we went to. I learnt a lot during the afternoon but the main thing I learnt is when the wardrobe needs a top up I will call Anna. It would have taken a month of Sundays to acheive what we did in four hours. 

I look good and feel great. I have my confidence back again. It has inspired me to change other aspects of my life I am not totally happy with and it isn't just the clothes that have done this, it was the total experience.

Anna’s all the awesomes rolled into one uber-fun, whipsmart, and stylishly stunning package. The way she injects confidence is a gift.

The entire experience has been invaluable and I am so pleased I found you!
— Kate

I had a fantastic day with you today and am so pleased with how the day went (and the purchases of course!). The entire experience has been invaluable and I am so pleased I found you! I feel confident that I will now approach shopping very differently. Thank you Anna for your professionalism, excellent advice and making me feel very comfortable.

Anna was brilliant to work with, my main purpose was assistance with a number of outfits for an upcoming photo shoot. But it ended up being so much more than that. Not only did I come out with a huge variety of new options, I also have a much better idea of what to look for, to fit my body shape. Anna also introduced me to some stores I don't usually visit. I now have so many options in my wardrobe and never struggle with what to wear. Anna is professional, prepared and nailed the brief. I highly recommend working with Anna.

Thanks to you, I will no longer put on the first thing I see and a little more thought will go in to what I wear. I can’t wait to bust out the A|M approved outfits and feel good.

It has been a revelation having you as part of my team. I feel so confident in my clothes and actually enjoy getting dressed in the morning! A big change. It is awesome knowing you are there to support me when I need to make styling decisions.

No one should feel that ‘this is not for people like me’ - you will be made to feel special!
— Denise

From the bottom of my heart – Thank you. I cannot think of the right words to express my appreciation. I would highly recommend a Total Style Transformation to anyone who wants a new image, new wardrobe, new zest for life regardless of age, occupation, or any other factors.

Anna is friendly, knowledgeable, happy, and, above all, incredibly helpful. The Wardrobe Cleanse of 4 hours results in many bags of waiting to wear clothes - “I will fit into them when I have lost those few kilos” or “I will wear them next season” flashing comments of clothing not worn for years but accumulating wardrobe space. 

At the end of my Stylist guided shop of 4 hours I walked away with number of clothes I would never have found had I been shopping unassisted. Additionally, I never thought I could shop for more than 1 hour and have a fabulous time! Anna really knew what worked and she helped me to see my wardrobe options in a very different light.

Even my husband can see the difference the correct choices make. I now have the knowledge and confidence to be able to go through my wardrobe and clear out all the clothes that don’t suit me as well as knowing what to keep. I am starting to experiment and ‘play’ with my style, which is a lot of fun! 

I am not a wealthy or fundamentally fashionable person, nor do I have a corporate occupation – I am a busy Mum with 3 sporty children who operates a family business from home, but I must say that this is not just a service for the uber-fashionable. It is a service which is accessible and incredibly transformative for your average person who knows nothing about what to wear!

No one should feel that ‘this is not for ‘people like me’’-you will be made to feel special! Financially, also, I consider my session an absolute investment. It is starting to save me time and hassles, and has completely removed the ‘What shall I wear?’ and ‘Does this go with that?’ questions from my daily life. I feel like a new person!

I can’t wait to do it again for my summer wardrobe!

A wonderful service and person that I can’t recommend highly enough.

I thought time with a Stylist was for some woman far removed from my everyday life. I was so wrong. Just as clothes are part of my daily life, how I feel in those clothes is an important tool for helping the world see me. I was dreading my photoshoot prior to meeting Anna and finding outfits. Afterwards, I was excited.
