“While clothes may not make the woman, they certainly have a strong effect on her self-confidence — which, I believe, does make the woman.”
When garments fit properly and enhance one’s natural shape, the individual is illuminated with confidence. Surely, this is reason enough to explore the Mistress’ range of styling options.
A combination of things really. I love to see the life changing results of women who improve their image, I really enjoy what I do and I also have two young children so it suits to work at home and be my own boss.
What is your background / experience in the domains of consultancy and fashion?
I have been working in the image and fashion industry for nearly twenty years now. I have covered many aspects of the industry including retail, design, styling, working in magazines, personal styling and my degree is also in fashion.
Fashion and style are not only about work, they are what I enjoy doing in my spare time. I probably am a little obsessed as I love reading about fashion and style and creating outfits and scouring the internet for the perfect garment to suit body shapes, lifestyle and occasion.
Why is style consultancy or personal shopping an important investment for the modern woman?
Improving your personal image can help both personal and business relationships, create positive 1st impressions and of course boost your confidence and self-esteem. We are not all born to look like supermodels but little things such as wearing the correct clothing to suit your body shape, a haircut that compliments your face shape and wearing the colours that enhance your complexion can all work wonders to your overall appearance.

What lies in the future for The Image Mistress?
That’s the beauty of this business, I have so many ideas but it’s just getting the time and investment to continually develop. I’m already thinking about bringing out a book or even a clothing range. I would also like to develop the blog further and perhaps even create photo shoots of outfits with specific reference to body shape. I truly am excited by these prospects!On the red carpet, which celebrities do you admire for their ability to dress for their body shape?
This is where The Image Mistress comes in. I hope to bring the style advice to everyday women at the convenience of being online and at an affordable price.

It sounds like a really good idea! Styling is becoming an increasingly popular career choice for fashion-forward young guys and girls! I love Leith Clark’s styling; what she’s done with Lula is an absolute dream.
To be completely honest, I was stunned by the depth of The Image Mistress’ insight and experience in the field. It’s wonderful that styling, as a career is becoming more attainable. Style is something which is unique and personal, but it also contagious – as can be seen by many street style blogs. I am in total agreement with you, Leith Clark has incredible styling talent – placing Keira Knightley in Mary Katrantzou was genius – one of my favourite looks!
Honey, thank you so, SO much for writing this article – it’s absolutely fantastic (as I knew it would be
!) and you’ve really promoted everything The Image Mistress does & all we aim to give our clients!! Really am totally blown away by the entire piece!! I really can’t thank you enough!!
Oh, btw, totally agree with what you say in the comment above – dressing Kiera Knightley in Mary Katrantzou was total & utter genius, I really loved her in that baroque, flower print dress – amazing!!
Thanks so, so much, I’m really happy with this!! xoxo
I am absolutely thrilled that you like the piece, it was my pleasure to record and promote some of your fantastic work. Image and confidence are often entwined, it’s positive to highlight such things.
Knightley’s Mary Katrantzou piece was one of my favourite ensembles of last year, I love how Leith Clark’s styling is positively unpredictable, just when we have grown to expect to find Keira in an ethereal and vintage-esque Valentino gown, we’re surprised with cutting edge British fashion. I love how their combined styling is consistently adapting and enthralling.
