Hi there, welcome.
Let me tell you a little bit about my background and myself.
I am from the UK and have travelled extensively, gaining a broad knowledge of many different cultures and styles. I bring together my experiences of some of the world’s best to create an exciting concept of style and service.
From an early age I had a passion for style and clothing. I loved to put on my mum’s dresses and clomp her heels around the house. It was no surprise that I chose a career in retail and went on to be a successful Visual Merchandiser for two reputable apparel companies in the UK.
I moved to New Zealand in 2010 and quickly settled in beautiful Queenstown. Here I continued my career in retail, managing two successful clothing stores.
Fast forward a few years, with colour and style training, here I am, able to provide you with the very best style advice and services.

The Wardrobe Audit is a must do. I was absolutely delighted and so surprised to see all the different outfits Hannah created so easily out of my clothes. The fun outfit challenges and the follow up emails have helped me to have the confidence to try new styles that I now absolutely love.

I definitely recommend a Personal Shopping trip with Hannah. She is so knowledgable and instantly understood what I wanted. We updated my wardrobe with outfits rather than just clothes. Thanks Hannah, you're amazing.
