Over the last couple of years I've not had much time to think about my clothes and I needed some help to see my existing outfits in a new light and to top up with some much needed updates. Claire helped me by doing a wardrobe detox with suggestions for additions and then a shopping trip 6 months later to look for some new items. Both were really helpful for me. I started wearing clothes that had been at the back of the wardrobe again and came away from the shops with staples that have been seeing me through the summer. It was particularly good to have suggestions on styles that would really suit my shape. Most of all Claire made both sessions fun and it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend!!

I wanted to make the most of my clothes and restyle some of them and use pieces I loved but didn’t know how to wear. Claire was not only brilliant at taking things I already had and showing me how to dress them up and down but also helped me better understand what suits me and some tricks and tips to help me wear more of my clothes, layer and keep styles flattering. I really loved my time with Claire and found it interesting, helpful and valuable. I’ve already worn some of Claire’s suggestions and bought a couple of staples she mentioned that helped pull a number of looks together. And she’s lovely too! Definitely would recommend

Claire was so great. We did a virtual styling session. I gained weight in the last couple of years but I’ve always felt a little insecure about my shape and height. And firmly believed that I can’t wear particular colours/cuts. Claire was really friendly and shared so much knowledge. After our meeting I was excited to dress up for going out and I realised that even when I lose the weight, I’ll still be the same shape so no matter the size, I should wear beautiful clothes that make me happy. I have since cleared out my wardrobe, donated clothes that don’t do me any favours and have created a wish list of items that will create a capsule wardrobe. Claire also followed up with a list of items that will work for my shape. Some of the best money I spent as I feel confident and excited to dress up, and shop.

I decided to try Claire’s online zoom consultation for a wardrobe edit as I was in a bit of a rut. I’m 5’2” and finding trousers/jeans that fit and I felt good in was proving a challenge! Claire was brilliant, she rang me beforehand to find out what I wanted from the consultation then spend 1.5 hours helping me go through items I already had and seeing how I could make them work to better to flatter my body shape. I came away with a much clearer idea of what I needed to buy to suit me and how to make things I already own work better. She then followed up the consultation with an email summary of what we’d discussed including websites to try, specific brands that would suit my shape. I’ve already bought quite a few items (including jeans!!) that I now wear everyday. I would highly recommend Claire if you need a bit of a refresh - especially if you’re feeling a bit stuck with what you already have. She was warm, knowledgeable and supportive and I’m planning to come back to her in the future when needed! Catrina x

I used Claire for a Wardrobe Edit. Got bored of having a wardrobe full of clothes and not knowing exactly why certain items just didn’t work any more! She gave me lots of advice on what clothes work best for my frame as well as point me in the right direction on staple items to purchase going forward. Really enjoyed the experience although wish it could have gone on for longer. Claire was professional, friendly and I felt very comfortable immediately even though we had only talked on the phone very briefly before the day. Definitely would recommend this service.

My personal shopping experience with Claire was amazing! Not only have I come away with a capsule wardrobe based on my needs, Claire spent time showing me what styles suit and flatter my shape and encouraged me to try bits I wouldn’t otherwise have looked at. I’ve had so many comments on pieces Claire has helped me choose! I would highly recommend. Thank you Claire!

I want to share my recent personal shopping trip with Claire. From the moment we spoke on the phone she put me at ease and the actual day couldn’t come quick enough. She listened what I wanted to get out of the day, it wasn’t all about the shopping, I came away with great tips of how to put my clothes together, the little tricks that’s make a big difference and the biggest plus is I feel so confident and comfortable in my clothes. Thank you Claire 😘🙏

This was a great session for me and allowed me time and space to explore developing my own style, I turned 60 this year and want to get my act together for the coming years!. Claire was fabulous - she took time to speak about some of my choices and how I could improve my wardrobe and shopping selections. I now feel motivated and reassured that I was on the right lines. Thanks so much.

I had an appointment with Claire @Club Forty for a colour analysis as I felt lost as to what colours suited me.Together with two friends we arranged for Claire to come and treat us all to a colour analysis, and what a treat it was! Claire was informative, knowledgeable and experienced, and I felt I could really begin to understand what I need to look for in an outfit when it comes to colour choices. My friends and I agreed that we’d all had a fantastic afternoon! We all thoroughly enjoyed it; it felt like a real treat. I felt so excited afterwards to review my wardrobe, and much more informed and confident about dressing to feel good, and adding to my wardrobe effectively. Highly recommended!

As a busy working mum of three, coupled with dropping two dress sizes in recent years, I found I had “lost my way” with my wardrobe and style. I had many items that didn’t fit anymore, and now with my new size and body shape, I had really lost confidence in what suited me and where to shop. Claire was just brilliant! After a couple of hours going through my wardrobe, Claire very quickly, with an honest but sensitive approach, sifted my clothes and I began to learn about the clothing styles that suit my body shape and some “do and don’ts”. We then sat down to work through priority items to purchase. The shopping trip was great fun too! Claire introduced me to a number of shops and styles that I would never have considered previously. Overall it was a very positive experience and have found myself feeling more confident both in myself and what I wear. Receiving many compliments since too. I cannot recommend Claire and her styling service highly enough.

Having had a rubbish personal shopping experience before I was reluctant but desperate to get help with my wardrobe and stop buying the same style of clothes I already had! Claire really took me out of my style comfort zone and made me try things I would never have chosen, let alone tried on which meant I now have a varied wardrobe of clothes I can mix and match and even better, didn’t spend a fortune! I loved the shopping day, Claire was a delight to be with - an all round feel good experience. Highly recommended if you need a style boost or have a special occasion you need to dress for.

I was lucky enough to have a visit from Claire in between the two lockdowns. I was stuck in a rut and with so much time at home, struggling with my style. Claire was great! She went through every piece in my wardrobe and encouraged me to try different combinations I hadn't thought to try before. She really pushed me out of my comfort zone and showed me how to utilise the clothes and accessories I already have. Following this, Claire put together a 'wish list' of items for me to try to compliment what I already have as well as some new styles to try. The whole experience was so helpful. Claire is really friendly and put me at ease straight away. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone struggling with their style. Thanks Claire!

I've had 2 styling sessions with Claire now and both have been fantastic experiences. The first session was to boost my work wardrobe and renew my confidence. Claire came up with a few staples that were missing from my wardrobe (over a Skype session) and then we met for a shopping session. I’ve known Claire for years but even if it’s the first time you meet her, she instantly makes you feel comfortable and relaxed and like nothing is too much or a silly suggestion! We tried on a tonne of outfits and matched things together and I came away with some fantastic new pieces and some basics that will create new outfits in my existing wardrobe. I used to love wearing colour and being bold in my style and over the last few years I lost my style spark. Claire has given me the gift of confidence in wearing colour again and trying new combinations (my most asked question is “does this go together?!” To which the answer is usually “yes!”) I was so happy with my wardrobe - especially as I didn’t have to buy a whole new one and have re worked so many of my existing items. I’ve got loads of new ideas especially for teaching corporate wellness sessions, as they are relaxed, crease free and chic! The most recent session was when I found out I was pregnant and at 22 weeks Claire helped me find some great outfits that I could wear all through my pregnancy and beyond. They weren't the frumpy maternity dresses I was dressing- instead she found some super cool dresses, jeans and combinations that I can wear long after the baby comes. I can’t recommend Claire enough - for a wardrobe rework, boost or just some fresh ideas. It's been brilliant and I’ll be doing it regularly!

I wanted to try and get more out of my wardrobe, to stop me buying random clothes when I popped out to the shops and also to stop me buying the same old style. I was struggling to know what new style might suit me with my body shape. Claire came to visit me at home, she was so lovely and made me feel very comfortable especially as I was trying on lots of clothes with her. Claire picked different clothing items from my wardrobe and put together outfits I hadnt even thought would go or even suit me. I now have a new wardrobe without needing to buy new clothes. She also helped me find a waist on my body which I had insisted didn’t exist. I now find myself putting a shirt with a skirt or a pair of boots with a colour top I didn’t realise went well together. I can’t recommend Claire enough, I had a lovely day with her.

My wardrobe edit was a real revelation… lots of clothes but so many not the right shape or style just held onto as thought they would come in handy!! A really insightful & helpful process, Claire was so friendly & professional helping me make decisions about what was of use and how to make pieces I had work together along with what I was missing.. I literally feel I have a new wardrobe!!

If you are in a style rut, Claire is the girl for you! When I met Claire I was in a habit of ordering everything from Next online, I actually don't enjoy shopping so it suited me to browse at home and have a trying on session in the comfort of my own home. I often wore black and my work wardrobe consisted of suits or suit dresses. Claire has introduced me to color, different styles and other retail outlets!!!!!! She really understands my shape and what cut compliments my skin tone and hair color. Wearing the right clothes makes you feel great, it makes you walk a little taller and fills you with confidence. I am often complimented on my outfits especially for work now as I am normally dressed in red and in styles which used to be way out of my comfort zone, this is all thanks to Claire I cannot recommend a personal styling session or wardrobe edit highly enough, styling is Claire's passion it comes so naturally, she will make you feel comfortable and confident. If I have an event to go to now, I simply call Claire.

I had a photo shoot coming up so wanted a new look for a brand that was contemporary and relevant. Although we could only do it via Zoom Claire put together some style boards for me to order from and then we had a try-on session online. She was so helpful with styling me, choosing shoes and jewellery accessories too. I was so happy with the result - helping me choose things I wouldn't have considered - so pleased with the look and result.

I was having a serious wardrobe malfunction especially with the lockdowns and just wanting to wear comfys. I lived in jeans and then suddenly being thrown into working from home, homeschooling, and trying to squeeze in exercise I wanted different options for home life!! I started to dread opening my wardrobe as I’d look at all the clothes and have nothing to wear! Then I found Claire on Instagram-my fashion godmother!!! I was a bit nervous as I wasn’t sure what to expect but I needn’t have worried. Claire was brilliant! From the instant she popped up on my screen, I felt at ease and completely relaxed with her. We chatted through what I wanted, my body shape, my lifestyle and then tried on outfits. Things I wouldn’t have put together mixed with what I could add to it to enhance my body shape. Claire gave me so many ideas but always wanted me to feel comfortable in the outfit and ensured it was ‘me’. 42 is a funny stage of life and ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ rings in my ears!!! She gave me loads of ideas and confidence of what I could wear. It was so much fun and she was so warm and relaxed but also professional at the same time. I’m definitely going to have another session and I’d love her to put together a look book for me. She has boosted my confidence and made me fall back in love with my clothes. Thank you for such a fab morning - it felt like such a girly treat. I would recommend Claire to any woman pulling their hair out about what to wear!

I have always been a typical ‘wardrobe full of clothes but nothing to wear’ person. I love clothes but have been overwhelmed by having everything in my wardrobe for the whole year. Claire was amazing. She convinced me that I should start by removing all the clothes that were out of the current season and packing them away, so I was only left with what I could wear now and for the next few months and, finally, I could see the wood for the trees! Then, we started to put outfits together and I was also able to see what I didn’t love any more and needed to let go of. Also, I could see where there were - a few - gaps and the importance of the right accessories (shoes/boots, belts and jewellery). I have been transformed by the experience and will never go back to the way I was before. Huge thanks to Claire for what was a life changing experience. Highly recommend this lovely lady!

I spent a lovely afternoon with Clare when she came to my house to help my organise my wardrobe- we did three things - 1. We sorted out three outfit for upcoming events - Clare took items from my existing wardrobe,then made suggestions of what could be brought from different places to go with them - for example Clare and I picked a blue lace dress with yellow underneath fabric to wear to a friends wedding later that month - then online she showed me a navy blue fitted jacket that suited the style of the dress and my shape and yellow snake print shoes and bag as a contrast that would work as they brought in the yellow from the dress. 2. We sorted through my wardrobe , really good to get someone else to do it as they don’t have the emotional attachment to the clothes you do !! Anything that went in the to go pile Clare explain why- wrong colour, shape, was high fashion piece that was dated and not a classic that would come round again etc 3. Clare then told me what things could be added to my wardrobe to make it work better and tie things together better . A good fitted denim jacket to work over dresses and over t-shirts and trousers. Skirts and trousers in neutral tones with belts to show off waist and put body shape in balance. White flat trainers to wear with dresses to make them more wearable every day and more midi length skirts and dresses - more wearable than short or long from everyday. All in all a busy, useful day and left me feeling That I had focus in looking for things to update my wardrobe and it also made the local charity shop happy with the 4 big bags full of clothes I took in for them the next day - reduce, reuse,recycle !! Thanks Clare x

I had a virtual consultation with Claire and she quickly put me at ease. Claire made some great suggestions as to the types of clothes I could try and what would suit my body type, and she made it fun at the same time. I would definitely recommend.
