Wow! What an amazing speaker! I am now more clued up about how to align my clothes, my personality and my brand … as Nichola advised “my choice of clothes leaves clues to observers who I am” – Sandra G. M. Jarvis Life Mastery Strategist aka The Pep TALKS Coach

Wow! What an amazing speaker! I am now more clued up about how to align my clothes, my personality and my brand … as Nichola advised “my choice of clothes leaves clues to observers who I am” Through Nichola’s talk I was able to link up the dots and identify how I can begin to consciously wear clothes that reflect my brand. Through listening to Nichola’s expert advice, my whole outlook on clothes changed: my clothes shopping and my wearing clothes is really an expression of love I have for myself. This was huge, as every item of my choice both my outer and under garments is speaking volumes about how I view myself and observers can see these clues. I was also given tips on how to organise my clothes so I am interview ready, meeting ready in fact clothes-ready for any occasion! I walked away from The Gaia Network event knowing that I now have the knowledge I need to overhaul my wardrobe to be a better representation of myself and my brand. I am grateful that I showed up and was fortunate enough to have this advice.

“An absolute joy to work with and the sessions have given my confidence when shopping. Thank you so much – a first class service”. – Dawn

Nichola recently completed a wardrobe detox and some style coaching with me. She instantly put me at ease with her warm personality. She worked to identify colours and styles that best suit my skin tone and body shape. We put together items in my wardrobe to make best use of my clothes and added a few new pieces which suit my style and personality.
An absolute joy to work with and the sessions have given my confidence when shopping.

Thank you so much – a first class service.

“Nichola did my colours for me and we had such a giggle”. – Gillian 

Nichola did my colours for me and we had such a giggle. I hadn’t a clue but she helped me every step of the way and now I have a palette of colours which I know suit me. It’s made me re-evaluate my wardrobe and I’m slowly building up pieces that I can feel confident in. Would highly recommend.

“I’d highly recommend Nichola for your styling needs, whether that is for a photo shoot or just to feel fab everyday in your own skin.” -Laura Money Mindset Coach 

Nichola has recently styled me for my business head-shot photo shoot as well as updating my wardrobe with some lovely colourful items for summer. For someone who is daunted by all the choice of clothes out there and how to put an effortless look together, Nichola makes this a really enjoyable experience. I end up feeling totally re-inspired and loving my wardrobe each time we work together. In preparation for my photo shoot, Nichola took great care to understand my brand, assessed my existing wardrobe and went out of her way to source a few extra items to really pull the looks together. I’d highly recommend Nichola for your styling needs, whether that is for a photo shoot or just to feel fab everyday in your own skin.

“Step forward Nichola English!! She’s brilliant at what she does”. -Anthony International Travel Blogger

I usually associate clothes shopping with anxiety and dread. I’ve always been clueless with what goes with what, how to dress for my body type, what looks good on me etc…Step forward Nichola English!! She’s brilliant at what she does and really gets to know you and why you’re there, whilst helping you to step outside your comfort zone with confidence.On top of that, I learnt so much and had a scream of a laugh with this very talented lady.

“Nichola and the team really made me feel comfortable in my own skin and the photographs look amazing as a result. I highly recommend Nichola for your styling needs”.  -Kathryn KD Communications

Nichola recently styled me for a branded photo session for my business and she was amazing. She took the time to understand me and my brand, she really worked on helping me dress in a way that made me comfortable and she went out of her way to make a last minute clothing purchase for me when a national retailer let me down. This helped me avoid so much stress! On the day itself I didn’t need to lift a finger – she took care the clothing, the accessories and the overall look and feel of the whole environment in the shoot. Nichola and the team really made me feel comfortable in my own skin and the photographs look amazing as a result. I highly recommend Nichola for your styling needs.

“I have realized that what I wear, how I show up in the world every day, has such an effect on how I feel, and I can’t thank Nichola enough for all the learning and all the fun”.  -Patricia 

Investing in myself and transforming my wardrobe with Nichola has had an amazing impact on my life.I had become in the habit of wearing dark suits for work and jeans with some “not so carefully chosen” tops for my spare time. A friend recommended Nichola to me and the journey to looking and feeling better began. I had not realized the emotional impact of colour until I saw myself with my “spring” colours. Nichola made the whole experience fun but at the same time it was a total learning experience. Nichola took the time to get to know me, my interests, hopes, dreams and desires and we laughed a lot in the process.

I usually find shopping overwhelming but spent a brilliant afternoon with Nichola when I learned so much as she guided me towards some items I would never have selected previously yet they have now become my favorites because of the way they make me feel. I have never worn yellow, however with Nichola’s guidance I bought a top in exactly the right shade for me and have received so many compliments when I wear it. Someone even made a point of speaking to me on a train to tell me how lovely my top looked. I have realised that what I wear, how I show up in the world every day, has such an effect on how I feel, and I can’t thank Nichola enough for all the learning and all the fun.

  “I feel much more confident now”  -Sarah 

“I have received so many compliments particularly when I wear my new red dress. I can’t wait to book a follow up consultation.”  -Laura

Thank you so much Nichola

For both the wardrobe review and the shopping trip. After the wardrobe review I was filled with a new sense of hope and excitement about my clothes and that feeling stylish and well put together isn’t the dark art I’d always felt it was. On the shopping trip you patiently “nudged” me into items I wouldn’t typically wear and encouraged me to have items (I would have previously discarded) altered to really fit my body shape.

I feel I enjoy my clothes much more, I feel lighter as I know what works well together and I actually have all the right pieces now to pull off a whole outfit. I have received so many compliments particularly when I wear my new red dress. I can’t wait to book a follow up consultation.”

Thank you 

-Laura

“It felt great to let go of the old which I have been hanging onto for years. Bless you my fairy Style mother xx”  -Nina 

Hi Nichola,

I wish to thank you for all your help and advice. I had a great time on Friday and it was also great fun.

I love the way you looked at some of my outdated items like my dress which I use to wear in my younger days and the discreet way in which you said nothing at first and then said “interesting” with a look in your eye which showed that those clothes should have been renewed years ago!

I felt so comfortable allowing you to look through my wardrobe and I have taken on board all of your advice.

I can’t believe I have given away 5 big bags of clothes and I still think I ‘m ready to let go of some more things on my next session with the wardrobes sorting!

Here are some on the things I wrote down to email you on Saturday morning the day after my consultation with you.

I am embracing the future with the new me. I was stuck in a time loop and now I am free.

Bless you my fairy Style mother

-Bless you Love Nina xxxx

“Nichola is a fashion/style icon “Wonder Women” 

-Reb x

Having seen the fantastic work Nichola has done I asked her if she could help me prepare for my first Christmas party. She helped me choose an outfit appropriate for the social event and to get ready, even carrying on when she injured her hand on the curling irons. Nichola is a fashion/style icon “Wonder Women”

–Thank you so much 🙂

“The investment I made with Nichola has without doubt been the best investment I have made in myself for years. I am now a far more confident lady. I love my wardrobe and feel I now know how to dress, what I suite, where to shop and how to shop wisely”.  -SB

For years I had hidden behind the clothes that I wore and I found the whole ‘shopping for me’ experience stressful and my wardrobe overtime had become safe and drab.But then I met Nichola at a business event and I remember thinking “Wow, I wish I could be like her”.. she was stylish, feminine, elegant and oozed confidence and that stuck in my mind for many months.

I knew I wanted to rediscover a ‘new me’ and I knew Nichola was the right person to do it. up to her ‘How To Develop A Capsule 

It begun with a complete wardrobe detox and boy was that an eye opener! Nichola instinctively knew how to arrange everything I had crammed into drawers and cupboards into piles labelled ‘charity’, ‘e-bay’, ‘summer’, ‘winter’, ‘smart’ and ‘casual’ and the day ended with everything being neatly re-structured and re-organised. The result was amazing. I knew instantly from my new slimmed down wardrobe where to find the right outfit for the right occasion which meant no more fashion faux pas!

She taught me how to create several different ‘looks’ from just a few key items by mixing different accessories and shoes/handbags, thereby maximizing what I had. She advised which items to wear that would enhance my figure, how to up-cycle clothing and which colours schemes where best for me. She also took the time to arrange a make-over session in Newcastle with a top brand of make-up that she knew would be suited to me. The transformation was incredible. And it didn’t stop there!

Nichola then identified what additional clothing or accessories I needed to invest in to make my capsule wardrobe complete. She meticulously researched this and input her recommendations into two beautifully crafted documents called my Style Bible and my Style Book.

The investment I made with Nichola has without doubt been the best investment I have made in myself for years. I am now a far more confident lady. I love my wardrobe and feel I now know how to dress, what I suite, where to shop and how to shop wisely.

Thank you Nichola for giving me and my wardrobe a new lease of life!

“I am a detail person and I did appraise many Style Coaches online, however Nichola’s personal statement really stood out as being very personal and engaging”  -Chris 

I first contacted Nichola, as I wanted to do something different and special as a birthday present for my partner. She has a good dress sense, but sometimes lacked the confidence to trust her own eye or try something new. Through Nichola she has developed her own sense of style and the self-assurance to wear clothes for all occasions with confidence.

I am a detail person and I did appraise many Style Coaches online, however Nichola’s personal statement really stood out as being very personal and engaging. After a brief chat on the phone, I was sure this would be the person to help my partner grow in confidence. Nichola’s entire approach is friendly and relaxed and immediately I felt at ease knowing my partner would love the experience.

I couldn’t recommend Nichola highly enough, especially for those guys would like to provide a special experience for their partner to remember for a very long time.

“Nichola seems to have a gift of making you feel at ease…within minutes it felt like I was going to spend the day with a great friend. Nichola is open and full of knowledge, with a great eye for what suits, and what doesn’t”  -Steph

I first met Nichola when I was treated to a personal shopping trip by my other half. I didn’t have a clue what to expect, but Nichola seems to have a gift of making you feel at ease….within minutes it felt I was going to spend the day with a great friend. Nichola is open and full of knowledge, with a great eye for what suits, and what doesn’t. We visited so many places with a huge range of price tags and Nichola showed me how to pair things together to make an outfit. It wasn’t about following the latest trends, but more about finding out what’s right for me. I used to hate shopping as I didn’t know what suited me, or how to make an outfit, but I can now shop with confidence and feel positive about trying new things. Nichola is friendly, honest, energetic and inspirational, I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you!!!

“Thank you for the support you have given helping me through my transitional stage of stepping out of my comfort zone and stepping into the new me.  You have provided a fantastic service throughout which has been greatly appreciated. I couldn’t have done it without you! You’re the Best!”  – Ann  

I just wanted to say a huge big thank you for all you that you’ve done.  In the consultation I immediately felt relaxed and at ease with you’re genuine, friendly, happy, warm approachable manner.  I was quite worried about taking the steps forward as it was a big thing for me to finally start dressing as my true self.  This is something that I have not been able to experience my entire life.  I am now 36 years of age and it started to be more of a significance for me and it was starting to get me down.  Since discovering my dominate fashion persona roughly 3-5 years ago I have struggled to get it right on my own and I have only been able to day dream that one day I would be able to dress that way.  With your help I am now able to start accomplishing this. 

“You took the time to listen to why I wished to change my look and what I wish to achieve in my every day business and social life”.  -Colin

Nichola when I considered using your services I was unsure if you could really be that helpful, how wrong was I.
It only took a matter of minutes to be relaxed in your company and to see how your professionalism shone through. You took the time to listen to why I wished to change my look and what I wish to achieve in my every day business and social life.

After spending a afternoon shopping round for clothes it was great having a professional clothes buy helping me choose the correct clothes to fit my body shape and size, more than that for my image.
Since wearing the clothes that Nichola choose for me and also buying the styles that she has recommend people have certainly noticed. I now have clients telling me I look dapper, professional, smart and my confidence in my look has improved. Probably the best thing that has happened since, is the way business peoples attitude towards me has changed and I certainly notice that I have become busier in business.

I would highly recommend using the wonderful Nichola English’s services to improve how you dress and how people react to you.
