Expert Bra Fittings - back by popular demand!
2017-02-22 10:00 - 20:00 UTC
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 22nd February. 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 58M! 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 against any bra purchase from their extensive range of worldwide brands and styles.
If you’d like to book an appointment, please let me know your preferred time (fittings will take place between 10am and 8pm) by emailing Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk or calling 07703 405106.

Mature Make-Up Workshop
2016-05-19 10:30 - 12:30
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 sparse. You may even feel that your face is in danger of “fading away”. If you already wear make-up, you may be concerned that your current routine is looking a bit dated or simply not working as well for you as it used to. If you haven’t worn make-up before, you’re probably thinking it’s time to start!

Whatever your age, there’s no reason you can’t still look vibrant and attractive. In this relaxed, hands-on workshop I will show you how to apply a simple, flattering, age-appropriate make-up in colours that will work for you as you are now.

I am limiting this workshop to just four women so that I can give you individual attention, so please email Nicola@mypersonalstyle.co.uk or call me on 07703 405106 to reserve your place.
