I became a Designer & Pattern Cutter after gaining my Hons degree in Clothing at The Scottish College of Textiles & enjoyed it enormously. I then became a Retail Manager & found a great joy in assisting customers through the buying process. Now working in the .com world as we shift more & more to online purchasing I find it is a challenging time with so many options at your finger tips.
Since qualifying from The London College of Style as a Personal Stylist, I love helping women navigate the crazy world of fashion. Assisting them to be the best version of themselves through personal styling, body shape analysis, wardrobe edits & personal shopping. Every individual is unique & learning who they are & who they want to be is key to assisting them on their journey.
We don’t always have the time to spend on ourselves. My own life experience is so often good reference for me to identify with clients. I have switched career path. I’ve had big changes in my personal life. Now, as a mother (if a little later than expected), step mother, wife, sister, daughter, business owner, I have experienced changes to my body shape, aspiration & priorities.
I admit I am a relentless optimist & this helps me understand the challenges other women are facing & tackle them head on in a lighthearted fun way - so, lets get it sorted!
Client testimonials.
FA, Edinburgh -
Lisa has been a massive help to me over the last year. She has helped me find outfits for the three most important occasions I’ve attended: giving a speech at my best friend’s 40th, my own 40th party and my brother’s wedding. Not only was she full of style inspiration and ideas, she made me feel at ease while giving me constructive feedback and top tips on what I could do to suit my body shape.
Lisa is effortlessly stylish herself and people always comment on this. Lisa has lots of experience of working in the textile and fashion industry and definitely knows her stuff. She is interested in hearing what each of her client’s is looking for and tailoring her service to them. I felt that she listened to me really well and then took time to come up with a number of ideas and talk these through with me.
Lisa helped me find the perfect outfit for my friend‘s 40th last year during a personal shopping experience. I received lots of compliments about the jumpsuit and have got lots of wear out of it since, but I probably wouldn’t have had the confidence to buy it without her. Lisa then sent me lots of suggestions and links, including hair ideas and what underwear would give me the shape I was looking for. I now have 3 of the bras she suggested and they have revolutionised my underwear drawer!
Each time I have gone to Lisa for advice, she has really understood what I was looking for, helped me to identify a fab outfit and accessories and made sure I felt super confident in my outfit. I would highly recommend her.

‘What a fun, enjoyable and interesting afternoon having a wardrobe edit! Lisa has a warm, genuine manner and certainly knows her stuff when it comes to personal styling. After years of being stuck in a fashion rut, Lisa has given me the confidence and shared her knowledge to help bring some much needed style into what I wear. She has shown me what colours best suit me and what clothes most flatter my shape. Thank you Lisa. You're my fashion fairy godmother! Can't wait to hit those shops again and finally inject a bit of 'wow' into my wardrobe!’

‘..event the small tips that Lisa gave me have made a missive improvement to my wardrobe space. I normally just shop for what I like and don’t worry about what it will go with or if it will suit me, I had loads of unworn items - now that’s all changed and I feel like I have the confidence to shop less but get more out of what I have…’

‘As a mum of two and full-time working professional, it’s fair to say my ‘style’ has taken a back seat in recent years. Lisa took the time to understand my personality and what I wanted to get out of the process at the outset, which was really important to me in terms of maintaining (or rediscovering!) my style identity. She has a lovely, calming way about her (with just the right amount of humour!), which will instantly put her subjects at ease. I was a little ‘afraid’ about exposing some of the horrors lurking in my wardrobe during the edit, but I needn’t have been. Lisa’s pragmatic but sensitive approach meant we could quickly ascertain what should stay and go, tackling professional and personal wardrobes separately so as not to overwhelm me! She provided sound guidance on what would suit my frame, colouring and lifestyle. She fully took on board my likes and dislikes and suggested clothing that she knew I would love, whilst also encouraging me out of my comfort zone, proposing some fabulous new styles, colours and patterns that I never would have considered. If you’re stuck in rut with your image, or if your wardrobe just needs a refresh, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa – you’ll never look back!’”
