"Shopping with Seraphina was a lovely experience and I have come away with some incredible outfits and loads more knowledge about what suits me and what makes a great look.
We started with a wardrobe detox, where we went through the clothes in my wardrobe. Although a bit daunting, this was a great first step because Seraphina showed me how lots of the clothes I have could be transformed to look fresher and better! She also got a good sense of my style and the colours that suit me before we actually hit the shops.
When we met later to go shopping Seraphina had picked out some beautiful, fashion forward clothes for me to try. She has an excellent insight into what will look good and suit different people. We always had a good discussion about each outfit, thinking about why it worked or didn’t, what could be worn with it to dress it up or down etc. We used every minute of our time really well - we got through so many different options!
Seraphina was really sensitive to what I wanted from the personal shopping experience and also sensitive to the budget I had. She was so friendly and ensured I got the most out of our day."

"Both the wardrobe edit and shopping trip with Seraphina were a joy. We've not only saved some of my favourite pieces by identifying some simple adjustments but also opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about my style! I can't recommend this experience enough."
JULIE TURNER
"After the wardrobe detox and personal shopping trip I have got lots of compliments about how great I look which has been a definite confidence boost. My work colleagues also commented about how well I looked, so wearing the right colours is definitely working. And after wearing one of the outfits you put together for an interview I got complimented by my current team and the receptionist at the interview, which definitely helped to settle the nerves.
I think this has been one of the best things I have done! It really has been a fun experience and Seraphina has encouraged me to try new things which I wouldn’t have felt confident to before."
KATHERINE FLORES
"The wardrobe detox with Seraphina was a present. Her visit was an eye-opener, as well as fun. We concentrated on outfits for work, but Seraphina's advice would apply to any day of the week. She came up with ways of combining and styling some of my clothes that made them look much better, and tactfully confirmed my suspicions that many of my other clothes weren't doing me any favours; they were consigned to a pile for charity. She gave me clear pointers as to what kind of jeans, skirts, jumpers, shirts and belts work on me. When we went shopping, Seraphina had pre-selected lots of great options that I'd never have chosen myself but that I really liked and were within my limited budget (and also really nice investment pieces). I feel much better able to buy new clothes that suit me now, and wish I'd found her much earlier. I would thoroughly recommend Seraphina."
TELISHA WEBSTER
"I really enjoyed the wardrobe detox and got so much out of it. I was so nervous that I would have absolutely nothing suitable in my wardrobe and was totally amazed at the awesome outfits Seraphina was able to create for me. She really put me at ease and I feel got a sense of my style (the real me pre mum-style and ill advised husband purchases!) and am feeling so much more confident already! There are so many great outfit options that you put together that I never would have thought of. I can also see why from an ethics/sustainability perspective, styling & utilizing clothes we already have is the way forward! ”

“I had got into a bit of a rut clothes wise, probably for the last 10 years to be honest. I have always gone shopping with friends who have made me try various things on, and I've never enjoyed the experience and never really felt like I knew what my style was. When I came across Seraphina through her website Style With Conscience, I realised that the wardrobe detox and personal shopping was exactly what I needed!
She spent 3 hours going through my clothes, saving old pieces I had that could be worn in much jazzier ways, and getting rid of things that for some unknown reason I'd been clinging on to. She also taught me about what colours and what styles suited my body shape, and gave me some notes and pictures of my outfits which I've used since. During the personal shopping trip Seraphina went out to the shops for me and reserved loads of pieces in various fitting rooms that she wanted me to try on, and that would finish off my wardrobe. I felt like such a VIP marching through the shops without having to mill around looking through rails of stuff. The hours whizzed by, and I bought some beautiful things. I was on a high for days afterwards. I've already met up with a few friends and they all think I look amazing (if I say so myself) and that I seem more confident. It's given me the tools to know what to look out for in the future, and more importantly, I've actually started enjoying shopping, even if it is 30 years too late.. I've even been giving my friends tips! Thank you Seraphina!.”
ELLIE PETTIT
“I booked the Style Overhaul package with Seraphina and felt it was great value for money. Doing the Wardrobe detox before the shopping trip I felt meant the shopping trip could be really targeted for what I need and Seraphina had a good understanding of what I would like. Seraphina was great at opening my mind to clothes that I would never have picked up otherwise and I’m glad to say I don’t have to go shopping for clothes again for long time…..I’m not fan of shopping and Seraphina really took the hassle out of it for me!”
JENNY GROUTAGE
"I moved abroad a couple of years ago to an island where shopping is very limited, so when I was back in the UK for a recent holiday I was unsure of where to shop and what to look for, especially with limited time. I found Seraphina through an online search and over the course of a four-hour shopping trip, she was able to completely change my perception of what clothes I could wear and what colours and styles suited me. After an initial phone/email consultation, Seraphina was able to get a handle on what I was looking for and put aside recommended pieces in different shops, which meant no searching through rails of clothes and no waiting for changing rooms. She has given me the confidence to try new things (and old things in new ways) and I now have a whole new wardrobe of fun pieces that I cannot wait to wear. I would definitely recommend Seraphina for anyone who is looking for a wardrobe revamp, whatever the budget."
STEPHANIE VON WERTHERN
“Thank you very much... it's the start to a more inspired and structured dressing ritual for me. I really enjoyed trying out options, looking at new ideas and 'upcycling' some completely unused items. Very handy to have the photos and notes. ”
JENNY GARRITY
"I was so apprehensive about the wardrobe edit session, having put on a fair bit of weight recently and really lost my confidence, but Seraphina couldn't have been more understanding of my worries and concerns. Before hand we discussed my colours and the tones that suited me then the styles I liked and items in my wardrobe that I loved but was unsure how to style. We then went through those items and talked about how I could make them more accessible whilst taking photos of me in the newly styled outfits. It was a relief to realise I'm not lacking too many things in my wardrobe and I'm so exited about our buying trip to get a few extra bits to really make my wardrobe work. I've used all of Seraphina's recommendations and invested in a few brighter punchier tops myself, some skinnier belts and a plain white pair of trainer pumps. I feel excited about clothes again and have had loads of compliments on items I've worn lots before but am now styling differently and looking great. I'd definitely recommend anyone thinking about a wardrobe edit to go ahead with Seraphina as it has given me so much more confidence and made me realise I don't need to spend a fortune to add in the few items I have missing."
KATY DJOKIC
"I have changed the way I feel about dressing now and [Seraphina] also showed me how to wear clothes I have been hanging onto for ages but never wear, and put together outfit combinations I would never have thought of and they really worked! She also showed me how to alter a few dresses that I would never wear again to make them into tops which was a great idea.I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe now! Being a mum of 2 young boys I never have time to think about what to wear and my shape has changed a lot and this has really helped me know what suits me and - I feel much better about clothes now - I was in a real rut and now feel excited about dressing again and feel more glamorous!Seraphina is really friendly, honest and reassuring, you can completely trust her to make you look and feel amazing."
LIZZIE GRANT
""My wardrobe was full of things for one reason or another I never wore, yet Seraphina put together all sorts of great outfits in ways that had not occurred to me. Several 'mistakes' have now been banished, and I know that what remains really works for me! Brilliant! I have recommended her to all my friends.""
HELEN JERONIMIDIS
"After having my 2nd baby I really wondered what had become of me. I have always loved clothes, dressing up and shopping but for so long I had been dressing for my bump and then with a newborn and a 4 year old, for a while it was an achievement just to get out of my pyjamas! I was lost underneath a pile of maternity jeans, baggy jumpers and black. A lot of black. My body shape had changed and I had no idea what suited me or even what I liked anymore. I used to love shopping but now I was avoiding looking in shop windows for fear of catching site of the shapeless frump I had become. I contacted Seraphina 5 months in; she gave me a questionnaire to fill in then came round and while the baby napped we gutted my wardrobe, trying everything,
and working out which key items to work with. Seraphina pointed out the gaps that needed filling and was armed with gorgeous suggestions of what to fill them with. HAPPINESS! Banished were the hide all jumpers that made me look far bigger than I am (who knew?!) and shapes, structure, tricks and colour (COLOUR!) were introduced. She showed me how to make the most of my new figure and I can honestly say that in 3/4 hours she put me (the REAL one; pre-massive black jumpers and saggy maternity bras) back together again. She is amazing - you need to let her in your wardrobe."
JACQUELINE SPICER
"My wardrobe detox and stylist session with Seraphina have been life changing. I was stuck in black leggings and jumpers after having two babies in two years. I had lost my sense of style and had no idea what to wear day to day. Seraphina coaxed me out of my 90s rut in a subtle and kind way while respecting my own unique style. The biggest (unexpected) change has been in how I feel about my body shape and size. I was convinced that my stomach was too big and I couldn’t wear certain styles but Seraphina helped me see that this simply wasn’t true. I have a new found confidence that you just can’t put a price on. She is worth every penny. Don’t hesitate to book a session with her."
