Hi Annalisa,
“I'm definitely looking at my clothes differently and having more fun! I've been coming to the USA heaps since I saw you (am here now) so have been spoilt with the shopping options. Understanding more about the fit of the clothes that will or won't suit me has made shopping that much easier. I thought that learning about colour was great but this takes it all so much further...
I've got some dresses, some tops, a pair of dress shorts, a skirt and a fabulous pair of jeggings. They are all softly fitted and elegant- much more grown up and moving away from the Boho and baggy look! I've noticed many more compliments about my figure and how great I look!! :-) I've also bought a couple of pairs of elegant shoes- a pair of neutral heels, a pair of neutral platforms and a pair of velvet heeled knee high boots. I've been feeling great! I really feel so much more elegant, really sexy and age appropriate. Thanks!! ‘

Hi Annalisa,
I had such a great time at the session. You were very helpful, practical and approachable...thank you! It was truly nice to meet you!

Hi Annalisa,
'usher concert was great......... i ended up buying the boots from city chick, the top from Myer that tapered in at the bottom, the black long sleeve top from my size to wear over, I wore tights like thick stockings & accessories I bought from Collette. I felt absolutely amazing, a feeling I've never felt before and that was of course a big thank you to you. '
Many thanks again,

Hi Annalisa,
'Thanks for your help with the whole process, it just made it so much easier for me, it would have taken me months if I had to do it myself, or maybe it would never have happened.
Getting dressed in the last week was such a breeze, I don't really have to think so hard.
Have a great day.'
Cheers

Hi Annalisa

"Just wanted to say a very BIG thank you for a wonderful day yesterday. It was very productive and we completed our shopping list of things to complete my wardrobe. It’s fantastic to have someone like you who knows what they are doing and exactly where to shop. We didn’t waste any time and got straight into it without feeling overwhelmed like I would when I usually  go shopping! Also the wardrobe clean out the day before was long overdue and I have learnt a lot from the whole experience and it was one to remember!

You’re the best! I'll definitely recommend you to my family and friends.'

Thanks heaps again

In business, when you are doing a presentation, meeting clients or even attending informal gatherings, you as an individual are representing your company. So being aware of your personal image is vitally important. The way you dress, the way you wear your clothes, the colours you wear, all help to portray an image. This is where Annalisa comes in.
Annalisa helps you find what works for you. So that you can have the confidence to create a look that will suite the image you are trying to portray for any occasion. Annalisa makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease during the entire process... Not to mention fun! Thanks Annalisa.

More lovely comments from our fabulous clients

Hi Annalisa, Hope you're well and sorry this has taken so long! I wanted to say a huge thank you for our shopping day - I had so much fun! I really appreciated that you listened to my feedback and didn't push anything that I didn't like, but also suggested new pieces that I never would have picked for myself. It was great to try on new styles and come home with new clothes that I felt suited me and my body type, and was excited to wear. I went shopping again last week and knowing which colours, styles and patterns suit me made it so much easier to shop, and a much more enjoyable experience! I didn't end up getting the Estelle dress as they didn't have my size, but am keeping my eye out for something similar :) Thanks for your help!

Alice had the Annalisa personal shopping experience in November 2016.

Hi Annalisa,
I completely underestimated all benefits I would enjoy from my make over with you. I really didn't consider that lower stress levels would be one of the unexpected bonuses.
No more angst about what to wear, what suits me, what to buy, which colours etc, etc, etc.
Ultimately, it doesn't really matter what you wear, but I feel fantastic about my new wardrobe and all the great information you gave me about my style and how to work it. I lerve my new, navy blue, pointy, ankle boots.
Every morning I have fun getting dressed. Understanding what colours and shapes to wear has made it so much easier to shop. People have commented about my skin! Saying I look brighter and warmer, somehow. One friend said my new style was "chic, funky and sassy".
I just don't have to worry about how I present myself anymore. I know I look my best every time I go out. You have given me so much more that I paid for. Roll on summer so we can go shopping again!
Thanx again Annalisa. You are a star!

Hi Annalisa,
I have just made the deposit to your account.
But more importantly: :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):).
You and Jim (our fabulous hairdresser) really know what you are doing.  After so many years of floundering with my appearance you have, in two days, pushed me from frump to fabulous.  I cannot tell you how that makes me feel.  Today I look 10 years younger and 10 kilos lighter.  And I have STYLE!

Your fee is, in no way, a fair representation of what you have done for me.
Kindest regards
Linda :) (Sydney)
Linda engaged our services for a makeover in June 2016.

Hi Annalisa,

Hi Annalisa,
Just wanted to let you know the shoot couldn't have gone any better. The clothes look amazing and I felt great in them. The beautiful coat ended up getting a guernsey as well and it looks stunning in the pics.
Thank you SO much for such a wonderful shopping experience. You were just fabulous.
Cheers,
Nicole Davidson - Sydney

Nicole engaged us as her personal shopper in May 2015 to put together some outfits for a photo shoot to help launch her new book.

Hi Annalisa,
Thanks again for your help and all the photos (We supply photos of all the outfits after a wardrobe review). Sorry about the late reply - the last couple of days were pretty hectic. I absolutely love my new clothes and so does my mum -  she is particularly very happy about the outfit for the civil wedding!
My partner still has to listen to "I don't know what to wear..." every morning but now it's because I love all the outfits and can't choose. I have also been receiving a lot of compliments from work colleagues and neighbours, oh and random people that happen to work in my building!
I threw out a couple more of my old work clothes (cardigan and jacket) and started out safely with the black pants white top and blue jacket,  and a dress with the black jacket (so all new clothes) but now I am wearing my new blue jacket and scarf with my old green top and old black skirt.
I find just adding jewellery and jacket to the existing outfits is making them so much better. I am sure I'll be in touch again about my winter wardrobe at some point.
Many thanks again for a fun experience that left me feeling great and much more confident at work.
Cheers, KS Sydney February 2015

KS was given a wardrobe gift voucher for a Christmas present from her fiancé. After Annalisa helped her to throw out what didn’t work, create outfits with what did and write the shopping list for what was missing, KS decided it was time to engage Annalisa for some personal shopping. The previous unsolicited comment is what Annalisa received a week after the shopping trip.

Hi Annalisa,
Thank you so much for a really valuable experience! I have had a lot of fun over the weekend trying everything on and working out all the combinations. I especially love the metalicus things and have already bought the pink dress!! I'm sure I will touch again somewhere down the track. 
All the best and thanks again Monica, Sydney.

Hi Annalisa,
"I just wanted to thank you again for your help and the great morning today... Meeting with you definitely helped to open my eyes to broadening my wardrobe, and always be willing to try anything on, despite what I think it'll do (I might be surprised!) 
Thank you again and good luck with everything."

Morning Annalisa,
I had an awesome time on Saturday night. You’ve given me great confidence with regards to what I’m wearing. I’m trusting that it looks good and I’m feeling good.
This morning I was more aware of what other people were creating with the shapes, colours, styles and lines they were wearing.
I’m very happy with my investment
Thank you again
Rachael, Sydney.

Rachael engaged us in March 2014 as her personal stylist.

Hi Annalisa,
"I want to thank you for helping me out with shopping last Saturday. I was really wanting to spend more time with you, shopping a bit more (casual tops and shoes) and getting more fashion advice. I'm very happy that I found a very professional and friendly fashion consultant and hairstylist. God speed to both of you, Annalisa and Jim! "

Hi Annalisa,
“Thanks for sending through the pics. I had a great day and it was fantastic to come away with so many clothes I know will work for me & in so little time. On my own I could have easily wandered & bought nothing.
I've had really good feedback from everyone I've shown the clothes to as well & got compliments on the first of the new outfits I wore today.
Thanks again

Hi Annalisa,
I had a great time "weeding" through my wardrobe last week. You gave me so
many options with what I already had!
From the very next day, getting dressed seemed to become a lot easier and
fun, and I know it will continue to be so, and more so now with the photos
as reference.
Thanks again for your amazing eye for putting together my wardrobe and
giving me a guideline for colours that compliment me!
Looking forward to your help again in March!

Annalisa,
....my mum loves my new hair!.... I found the session really helpful and i've looked at the colours in my wardrobe already!
Thanks so much for all your help! I'll definitely suggest you to others for colour consultations!
Thanks so much.

Hi Annalisa,
"...Yes I'm very happy.  I feel much more inspired about getting dressed.  Plus, I bought a lip stick in a medium plum colour.......... and what do you know....... it makes my eyes really sparkle!! I've never thought to wear that colour before.  The only person who has ever correctly advised me of what colours to wear is my sister.  I rang her and told her the results of my colour analysis and she said that I should use Lanvin as a style inspiration cause they use a lot of my colours."

Thanks Annalisa,
"Really enjoyed the sessions and have definitely gotten some valuable information from them. I'll never shop in quite the same way again... and I am obviously a trend setter with the purple trench!"

Hi Annalisa,
Yes, I had really good time. I was very happy and comfortable with my make-up, and I had quite a lot of compliments. My husband liked my make-up too, he said the colour was very nicely done. Thank you very much for your beautiful work, which got me out of my party panic, and thank you for being so considerate to give me the eye make-up removals, they made things a lot easier.

Hi Annalisa,
"Finally, I've had my first shopping day since my consultation. It was great! I tried on lots of different things and together with Adrian we consulted our bibles (my style and colour books) to make sure it suited. We aroused suspicion a few times as people thought we were a bit odd looking at our books :-)
I've told Adrian so much about the things I've learnt so it was great when we came across things I liked that previously I would have bought even though they didn't suit me. Now we were able to identify the reasons why they weren't suitable. It felt really good to be able to choose clothes more confidently.
Thanks again, hope your well."

Hi Annalisa,
Can't thank you enough for today, it was worth putting up with the weather.
I looked at your website as well as I think one other that I was seriously considering, they didn't charge as much as you did, however, your site was presented a lot more professionally and something inside me said that it was worth it to use your services and I was right :)
You reminded me a lot of my aunty, she is a very confident lady and knows how to put people at ease.
I think I am in love with that colour swatch you gave me, I have been playing with it most of the afternoon. I think that would have to be the most valuable thing about today, as for the make-up I'm going to have to wait and practice now and yes I am really liking my eyes now :)
Once again thank you.

Dear Annalisa,
Rach and I would sincerely like to thank you for all the help and support you gave us last Thursday. We had a wonderful experience.  I know that I will be a bit emotional next Wednesday when she is ready. I am still shuddering with the shoes though!

Hey!
Just got back from our great weekend! Thank you for such an amazing time. Got two great outfits (went back today and bought the waistcoat!!). Thanks again - I had a great time, bought some fabulous clothes, learnt lots about how to dress better, and can now afford to fulfil my dream of studying in the USA (and I'll look hot while doing so)!

"Firstly a huge thank you for all your help last Tuesday regarding finding my perfect wedding outfit. I can`t tell you how thrilled I am with it and you read me perfectly. Bill, my husband loves it so a great success. It was fabulous to meet you and I would certainly look forward to meeting up again for another occasion."

Hi Annalisa

"It was great to meet with you on Wednesday and I enjoyed the process.  I have every intension of using the information I learnt – and am excited regarding the prospect.
As discussed – I am not really a shopper – but with the assistance of this new information – I can see myself actually enjoying the process. I will keep in touch and let you know if I need your assistance in “trashing” the wardrobe. "
