Services offered:
- Personal styling – Sometimes dressing for an event can be stressful if you’re not sure of the dress code or haven’t got time to source the right accessories to match a dress. I can help you find the perfect outfit for any event, especially events of the English season and Royal events, such as Royal Ascot, an Investiture or a Royal garden party.
- Clothing inventory – HNW households often have clothing and accessory collections that are the most valuable thing in the house, so compiling an up-to-date clothing inventory is essential for insurance purposes. I can photograph all of your clothes/handbags/shoes/jewellery etc and compile a digital inventory for you with valuations. A digital inventory will also enable you to have quick access to your wardrobe on the move, helping you to keep track of what you own and help plan packing for trips.
- Wardrobe detox – I can assist you with discarding unwanted clothing – either by selling unworn pieces, donating to charity or recycling. I can also arrange for damaged garments to be mended or altered as required. Once you have detoxed you will have more room to update your wardrobe with new pieces each season.
- Wardrobe organisation – Order within the wardrobe is vital in creating a manageable clothing collection. I can re-arrange your wardrobe in an orderly way – arranging everything by garment type and colour, and introducing extra storage solutions, if required, or streamlining your clothing hangers to make more space, so that all your clothes are easily viewed and more accessible, making it easier and quicker to dress each day.
- Packing – Curating travel wardrobes and packing suitcases for trips abroad.
- Training – Not all housekeepers are trained in how to handle high-end wardrobes – I can provide training to private household housekeeping staff in how to professionally pack suitcases, fold and organise clothing and clothing care.
- Private PA – Assisting you with all administrative matters related to your life, e.g. managing diaries, booking appointments, paying invoices, researching trips, booking travel, managing email accounts, liasing with external vendors on your behalf, recruiting household staff, sourcing gifts, personal shopping, planning events.
I am available to work in person in London and worldwide (subject to expenses). I can also offer styling and Private PA services remotely.

About me:
After four years working for HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Household based at Buckingham Palace, where I was trained in the traditional duties of a Lady’s Maid, I subsequently travelled extensively working as a Lady’s Maid and Personal Assistant for UHNW private households, visiting locations including Riyadh, Japan, Bali the USA and Monaco, where I was based for four years. My book Wardrobe Wisdom: How to dress and take care of your clothes, was published by The National Trust/HarperCollins in October 2018.
