Your Questions About Personal Styling With Lisa O’Shaughnessy of Always Stylish, Answered
Personal Stylist Lisa O'Shaughnessy
Hello I’m Lisa the founder of Always Stylish. I am a London-based personal stylist, personal shopper, style speaker and fashion designer with 2 decades of experience. Styling women and men across the UK and internationally.
Scroll down to read some frequently asked questions. For more information about how I work with clients, please reach out via the button below.
Who do you work with?
I style men and women of all nationalities, working across both high street and luxury brands. My clients are typically professionals, leaders, founders, and high-profile individuals aged 28+ who want an en pointe personal style but don’t have the time to manage the details themselves.
I also partner with companies and organisations to deliver corporate styling services, including style talks and colour analysis workshops.
how does a wardrobe edit work
A wardrobe edit takes place in your home - I typically cover London and the surrounding counties - and starts with a review of what you already own. We’ll identify what works, what doesn’t, and I’ll tell you why, as well as identifying where the gaps are in your wardrobe. Following the appointment you receive a personalised style report of body and colour shape advice, best brands, style inspiration, your own items restyled and a clear next steps plan.
I can never find anything to suit me. How do I know you can?
With years of experience as both a fashion designer and professional stylist, I approach clothing and style from a unique informed dual perspective. My expertise enables me to discern what will suit you best, how to locate those items and combine them into outfits that will suit your style and lifestyle - you receive an outfit guide following the apointment. Read more about my experience.
Where Do you take Personal shopping clients?
All personal shopping takes place in Central London from Oxford and Regent Street to Marylebone, Mayfair, Soho, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, or Westfield White City and where depends on your taste and budget. I don’t have a standard route/style, everything is based on the individual clients requirements. I cover both high street brands, designer and luxury labels. Private styling rooms- where possible - can be booked in Selfridges, John Lewis Oxford Street, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
I don’t want to shop can the clothes come to me?
Yes, I offer a private client VIP style concierge which is a high touch styling service and can include clothes being brought to you at your home, office or hotel.
Can I book a personal shopping evening appointment?
Depending on availability my last shopping appointment generally starts at either 2 or 3pm as the vast majority of stores in London close around 7pm.
Can I bring a partner, relative, friend etc with me?
Yes, it is completely fine to bring a guest with you for a personal shopping appointment. I do ask that you limit it to just the one guest.
Can you shop for any clothing size?
Yes, though many stores in London typically only cater for sizes 6-16/18 for women and XS - XXL for men. Rather than restricting you to a limited selection of stores to avoid potential disappointment, I may recommend my online service, where the range of options is significantly broader. While I understand this may not be ideal, my goal is to ensure each client enjoys the best shopping experience possible.
CAN I SHOP FOR BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER AT THE SAME TIME?
No. Stores/brands typically sell items corresponding to the current season. While some aspects of unseasonal shopping can be purchased through online styling, I advise shopping for items suitable for the current season. Contact me if you would like advice when to shop.
Why don’t you show before and after photos?
Personal styling is exactly that - personal. It differs greatly from editorial work, where retouched and altered images are showcased openly. Many of my clients prioritise confidentiality and anonymity, expressing a desire to keep their photos private and not circulated. Each individual is unique, and what suits one client may not necessarily suit another. I do however show client looks that I have styled on my Instagram.
I don’t live near London or in the UK, can you still help me?
Yes, I offer an online styling service that offers excellent results. All from the comfort of your own home, be that in the UK or overseas.
Do you travel abroad?
Yes, I also provide seasonal personal styling services in Dubai and am able to travel to other countries. Please contact me to discuss further.
