Join me for an enjoyable, confidence-boosting workshop packed with top tips on making the most of yourself as you are now. We will cover:

Colours – Guidance on the colours which will make you look younger.
Refreshing Your Make-up – How to apply a youthful, natural look .
Style Tips – How to look youthful and on-trend (whatever your shape or size) without looking like mutton dressed as lamb!

Expert Bra Fitting Service
2020-01-15 10:00 - 20:00
As a Personal Stylist, I know how important wearing the right bra is to the way your clothes look and fit.

All clothes are designed in proportion to shoulder, bust, waist and hip size, and the distance between these points. If you are not wearing the right style of bra for your shape, clothes will rarely fit well. If you are mature or particularly well-endowed and finding that your waist seems to have disappeared under your bust, or you can simply never find a bra that’s flattering and comfortable, help is at hand!
Sara from Bra Sense is expert at finding the right bra for the right woman. I’ve had such overwhelmingly positive feedback from clients who have been fitted for bras by her that I have invited her back yet again to hold individual bra-fitting appointments in my cosy, private studio on Wednesday 15th January. Sara will help you understand your unique shape and proportions and find the perfect bra for you – whether you are a petite 28A or a magnificent 58P! This really is the creme de la creme of bra fitting services.
The Bra Sense Personal Fit Consultation takes approximately an hour and is followed up with your Personal Fit Report which explains all you need to know about choosing the right bra for you for all occasions. It costs just £35 and includes a £10 Bra Sense voucher which can be redeemed on the day against any bra purchase from their extensive range of worldwide brands and styles. Subsequent follow-up appointments are free of charge.
These fitting days are always popular so if you’d like to book an appointment, please let me know your preferred time (hour-long fittings will take place between 10am and 8pm) ASAP by emailing Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk or calling 07703 405106.

Complimentary Styling Afternoon
2020-02-20 14:00 - 15:30
Join me for a complimentary styling session where you can view, try and buy the new Spring-Summer collection from Danish brand, Friendtex in a relaxed, sociable environment.
Friendtex offers quality, easy to wear styles for women of all shapes and sizes. These clothes and are not available on the High Street and can only be purchased in the UK via a handful of stylists so you can be sure that you are buying something that is not only stylish but also that little bit different.
You can view the online catalogue here but I’m afraid it simply doesn’t do these fabulous clothes justice. You really do need to come and see and feel them for yourself.
In terms of pricing, Friendtex is roughly on a par with Phase Eight, Hobbs or Mint Velvet. Rest assured though that you will be under no pressure to buy anything.
I am limiting this event to eight women so that I can give everyone individual attention so book your place now by emailing Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk.

Capsule Holiday Wardrobe
2020-05-07 10:30 - 12:30
Do you dream of looking effortlessly stylish on holiday? Of always having something appropriate and comfortable to wear? And, best of all, fitting it all into a single suitcase as carry-on luggage?*
If the reality is that you end up packing stuff “just in case”, have multiple over-stuffed suitcases and still have nothing to wear that makes you look and feel fabulous, you need this workshop! Relaxed and informal, it’s packed full of practical tips on how to build a beautifully co-ordinated and versatile capsule holiday wardrobe. I will share with you:

The basics of colour and style.
How to mix, match and accessorise to create multiple stylish outfits.
The contents of my own holiday wardrobe packed in a single cabin-sized suitcase
A suggested holiday packing list

Let me help you take the stress out of packing for your holiday.

Colour Me Kettlewell

If you’re unsure as to which of their seasons would be most flattering on you or would just like to have the opportunity to try before you buy, come along and check out the new styles and get my advice on which colours will work best for you*. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to buy at 5% discount and free delivery, however small your order.

I do hope you can make it.

Mature Makeup Class
2022-02-08 10:30 - 13:00
As we mature our faces change. It’s not just a matter of a few more lines or the effects of gravity; you may have noticed that your lips are a little paler and thinner and that your eyebrows have become a bit more sparse. You may feel as if your face is in danger of “fading away”. If you already wear make-up, your current routine might not seem to be working so well for you nowadays. If you haven’t worn make up before, you’re probably thinking it’s time to start but may be a little intimidated by the heavily made-up young women on beauty counters!
We may not be twenty-one anymore but there’s no reason we can’t still look vibrant and attractive. In this relaxed, hands-on workshop I will show you how to apply a simple, flattering and age-appropriate make-up to help you look your very best.
The products I use are available to buy on the day so that you can immediately recreate the look at home, if you wish. If you prefer to use your own make-up though, you are more than welcome to do so.
Take away: Personalised make-up prescription and tutorial sheet
I am limiting this class to just six women so that I can give you individual attention but if you would prefer to have a one-on-one make-up lesson with me at a time to suit you, this can also be arranged.
Please call me on 07703 405106 or email Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk to book your place.
