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. My clients are typically professionals, leaders, founders, and HNW individuals often aged 28+ who want an en pointe personal style, but don’t have the time or know how to manage the details themselves.

I also partner with companies and organisations to deliver corporate styling services, including style talks and colour analysis for events.

Where Do you take Personal shopping clients?

All personal shopping takes place in Central London, from Oxford and Regent Street to Marylebone, Mayfair, Soho, Jermyn Street, Knightsbridge and Chelsea, or Westfield White City. Private styling rooms can also be booked in Selfridges, John Lewis Oxford Street, Harrods and Harvey Nichols.

There is no standard shopping experience as I work with each client based on their individual style requirements and budget - from the high street to designer labels to luxury brands - it is all based on the client. For new clients I recommend a shopping budget of £2,500 or more to make the most of your experience.

For clients who want to shop over a couple of days, I recommend my VIP styling service, which is designed for a more bespoke styling experience.

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 luxury styling service and can include clothes being brought to you at your home, office or hotel.

how does a wardrobe edit work

My wardrobe edit service - lasting up to 3 hours, though you can add on extra time - is available for women and men and takes place in your home. We review your wardrobe identifying what works, what doesn’t and why, create new outfits where possible, identify where the gaps are and we finish with a colour analysis to discover your best colours and combinations.

Following the appointment, you receive a personalised style report covering body shape and colour advice, recommended brands, style inspiration, outfits and a clear next steps plan.

I also offer full wardrobe cataloguing, where every item and accessory is photographed and styled for you - I can focus on your entire wardrobe or seasonal - Autumn/Winter or Spring/Summer. This comes under my VIP styling service and is priced on a bespoke basis rather than as an hourly package.

I can never find anything to suit me. How do I know you can?

With experience as both a fashion designer and professional stylist, I bring a dual perspective to personal styling. I understand how clothes are designed, constructed and fit, as well as what will work for your style, colouring and lifestyle. I know what to look for, where to find it and how to combine it into outfits you will actually wear.

Client’s receive an outfit guide after your personal shopping appointment.

Can I book a personal shopping evening appointment?

Depending on availability my last shopping appointment generally starts at either 2 or 3pm.

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 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 possible experience.

CAN I SHOP FOR BOTH SUMMER AND WINTER AT THE SAME TIME?

No! Stores typically sell items corresponding to the current season. While some aspects of unseasonal shopping can be purchased online, I recommend shopping for items suitable for the current season.

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.

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.
