"I've had a lot
of comments with my new clothes"
Hi Cindy,
Just want to say again a big thank you for helping me with my
new wardrobe. I'm wearing 1 of the tops now and it feels so nice on. Also,
I've had a lot of comments with my new clothes. I feel now that is 1 area of my
life that is in order and doesn't need to be stressed over anymore.
I told my daughter, Kate, that I went shopping with a
Personal Stylist and she was sooooo excited for me and loved all the clothes I
bought. If the shoes were a bit bigger I think she would have borrowed them on
a permanent basis.
I had lots of fun with you.....you are a pocket dynamo and
very blunt.....but that's the way I like it.....but very caring about people,
especially me. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to throw my gear off
and be willing to stand in my underwear ready for the beautiful clothes to be
fitted on. It's amazing what women do for clothing.
Many thanks again and I'm going to book in to see you in
April to come down from Brissie to go shopping with you on your own turf.
Thanks, thanks, thanks you're such a sweetie.
Lots of Love

"I felt totally supported and safe
with you"
Thank you
so much for our shopping adventure this week. Aside from the fact that it was a
fantastic learning experience for me, I really enjoyed it (and I normally HATE
shopping!)
I was
completely absorbed in what you were doing so I could learn the what, and how
to, wear styles that suit me and my lifestyle. So if I looked serious, or vague
it was me concentrating.
Most
importantly, I felt totally supported and safe with you. It was a very sensitive
and personal experience for me to go through this process as you may be aware.
You were professional, kind and demonstrated upmost integrity. Somehow Cindy,
you managed to strip me down to almost nothing and yet still left me with my
dignity. I am truly grateful and appreciative. Thank you. I really do feel like
a new woman.
Regarding
your question if I would "model" in your next show. It scares me silly but yes,
I will if the offer is still open. I would love to play with A.Hill clothes and
strut my "new" stuff in front of a crowd.
Its also
another chance to go shopping at one of my fav stores, so I would be mad to say
anything else but yes. (Understand if you have secured someone else).
Thanks a
million again Cindy. You truly are a style angel!
Cheers

Hi Cindy,
I am back
at work and loving my new wardrobe. It has given my self confidence a definite
boost. I have never received so many compliments in my life. I really am taking
the time and giving my daily wear more thought.
I never did
write a piece for your website but can you please add this from me
Cindy has
changed my life! I am more than happy to share my wonderful experience with
you. Please call me 0412 630 668. Melissa Cooper
Thank you
again and again!!
Look
forward to seeing you in the future.

"All the items you selected for me were
perfect"
Hi Cindy
Thank you for a wonderful
experience and a day I will never forget. You are a very impressive person with
an exceptional talent and great people skills.
Liz was very impressed with
what you have done for me yet alone putting up with me for shopping for the time
that you gave me.
All the items you selected for
me were perfect and ever time I will wear them people will comment on my good
taste in clothes which will give me a great lead into introducing you and your
business Style with Cindy.
Next time I go shopping for
clothes I will call on you again.
Once again thank you for what
you have done for me.

"I
definitely needed a pick-me-up"
I had just
reached a milestone birthday (not my 30th), I had been pregnant or
getting over being pregnant for the last 5 years and I had gone back to work and
had to manage a new team. I felt my clothes were dated and I definitely needed
a pick-me-up.
I decided to
treat myself and Googled personal stylist and came up with Cindy. Cindy came
over and looked over my wardrobe. She first listened to what I wanted – to
dress with a bit more edge and to supplement my mostly black wardrobe, I wanted
to feel good about myself.
She gave me a
lot of constructive advice and actually made me see what was right and wrong for
me. I did what I needed to do a long time ago – get rid of a lot of my wardrobe
that I did not use.
A few weeks
later we headed to my Mecca, Chadstone, for a day of shopping. I walked away
with a whole new wardrobe, spending double what I planned to, but I felt good
about everything and I was exhausted!
Cindy also
introduced me to make-up, something I always thought was too hard. I wanted to
apply make-up but couldn’t afford two much time with 3 young girls. I now
apply make-up in 5 minutes in the morning before work.
A few months
down the track and I have had so many comments about my clothes (I wonder how
bad I really was) and that I have lost weight, which as I have found, is really
about wearing what fits.
I now walk
into shops knowing the style of clothes that will suit me best. Thank-you
Cindy, for giving me confidence and that edge when it comes to clothing. You
made me feel really comfortable and positive about the whole experience. I look
forward to shopping for a summer wardrobe with you.

"You made the whole process efficient and painless"
Here I am, Cindy...the new me! Well not quite...My husband says a leopard can't
change his spots o/night!
Couldn't sleep last night...think the adrenalin rush of the afternoon was still
kicking in and then I started panicking about what I had bought! Do you realize
that is the FIRST time ever that I have not looked at prices or the workmanship
details of the garments? That was freaking me out last night.
I
had been a little wary, a little nervous but you put me at ease. The afternoon
was such an exciting rollercoaster but I quickly felt confident in the
knowledge that I was in the hands of a professional who cared and was honest.
It was such a big thing to hand myself over to you...I hate shopping and I
especially hate shopping with other people! I was bowled over by the things
you said about me and that gave me further reassurance.
I
LOVED THE EXPERIENCE....you made the whole process efficient and painless. On
my own, I would have quickly become disappointed and frustrated, the experience
would have become a desultory, tiring one ending in purchasing nothing.
My
husband LOVES EVERYTHING..... He loved the fashion parade and wants to know when
I'm going back to you. The VERY best buys are the shoes and the trench. I
adore them. But having said that, I do love everything.
AN
ENORMOUS THANK YOU. I appreciated the extra time you stayed to complete the
task.
Lucia was lovely at KIT...I especially liked the way she helped me with how to
do the makeup for aging skin.
So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

"I seriously can’t believe how good I feel"
Hi Cindy,
Just wanted to
say a HUGE Thank you!! It was so great shopping with you and I think part
of my exhaustion after the 3 hour session was exhilaration!!
I seriously
can’t believe how good I feel and although I haven’t worn the clothes yet as
I’ve been back at work, I just feel awesome knowing they’re in my wardrobe.
The experience
I’ve had has made me realize just how good I am and how great I can look in the
right style of clothes. I don’t know if words can quite describe just how
amazing I feel after your help to transform my wardrobe – I always knew clothes
made a difference but didn’t quite realize they could make me feel great on the
inside as well as the outside.
Anyway I was
hoping you still had a spot I can book (preferably a weekend) to book a “2 hour
summer wardrobe overhaul” in October when you’re up this way??
Hope to hear
from you soon
Many thanks
Cindy
I think you’re
discreet yet brilliant!!

"I
was so excited with the fit and how I looked"
Hi Cindy,
I would like to thank you for yesterday's shopping trip. It was truly a valuable
experience. I hope I wasn't too much hard work for you!!!!
You will be happy to know that when I got home, I laid all my purchases on the
bed and tried them all on again.... I was so excited with the fit and how I
looked in all the different items I purchased. (especially the vest and the
black dress!)
This experience for me is the beginning of a journey. I am sure that your input
yesterday and your styling tips will help me to re-gain the confidence that I
once had. I have gone to work today and already feel more confident in the way I
look and hold myself. You certainly had an impact on me.
I will definitely take your advice about making sure I spend more time on
myself, including my hair!
Cindy, again I would like to thank you for helping me with my personal styling
needs. You have given me the motivation to take care of ME!
Kind Regards,
Maria
"Most of all I think I have my self esteem back
"
Dear Cindy,
it's one week
down the track and I can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience I have
had with you! I have enjoyed mixing up my new clothes and have stepped out
feeling confident and more importantly so happy with how I look - a feeling that
I haven't had day-after-day for a long time!!!
My hair has
also been done and Leah was fantastic!!! So, a brand new me! I have had so many
comments - even on the first night after shopping I had a stranger come up to me
at swimming and ask where I got my boots from!!!!
Most of all I
think I have my self esteem back about how I present myself - and that is
actually the best bit of all - and priceless!!!
I wish you the
very best in delivering what is such a fantastic service!

"I have so many combinations I never ever feel frumpy or overdressed"
Hi Cindy,
Its been a week
of WOW, WOW, WOW! I am having so much fun with my new clothes.
Yesterday I received 5 compliments on how well I looked…. Everything matches so
well and I have so many combinations I never ever feel frumpy or overdressed. My
new attitude is “IT’S THEIR PROBLEM – GET OVER IT” ! Thank you for bringing out
the REAL ME! I have never felt better and feel like the world is at my feet. My
confidence has soared immensely.
I would like to
get in early and book a summer wardrobe shop so could you please advise me when
the best time is to do that to get the best clothes and a slice of Cindy time.
Thanks again and by the way I am wearing my
grey pants today with two ALLANAH HILL tops and my red heels… yes I am wearing
pants Cindy.
Have a great
weekend and by the way thanks for the style report, that was a nice surprise.
Kindest Regards

"He thinks I look stunning"
Hi Cindy
Thank you so much for today! I
just love my new things and I think I will feel more confident trying on stuff
that I wouldn’t have dreamed of before.
I tried my new stuff on with my old
stuff that I kept and it looks good, too. However, even more old things are on
the chuck-out pile now as they look seriously tired next to my new friends.
Will definitely go for the
Metallica/us(?) stuff and have already decided I need a new chunky black woollen
top.
Ray was blown away by everything
and patiently sat while I showed him every possible combination. He thinks I
look stunning. We both cannot believe how good the jeans and black cords are –
I’m almost embarrassed to wear them they look so good....but, of course, I
will!!!
Thank you for your patience – I was
feeling a bit overwhelmed and think I came across as if I wasn’t enjoying
myself. I really was though – it’s a big psychological change for me as well.
Thank you, thank you!

"I was a little anxious about the process"
After loosing weight I had a real dilemma. I'm
forty something and for years I had bought a certain style and size to cover and
disguise the body and couldn't break out of the old habits. I turned to Cindy.
Not knowing what to expect, I was a little anxious about the process. Cindy was
great. Easy to talk to, professional yet not intimidating.
Shopping
with Cindy is like being out with a friend who is focused on you.
Cindy's honesty and guidance is refreshing. She is focused and helpful and
stays on task so that you achieve the most from your shopping day. I am so
pleased that I went with the whole package. I have changed my outlook, I dress
with a new style and I feel fantastic proving that you don't have to look your
age!
A
life-changing experience!

"From the bottom of my heart
...THANK YOU".
Hi Cindy,
Just wanted to let you know that I
had the time of my life on Saturday.
I tell you, I felt like Julia
Roberts in Pretty Woman.. like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly...!
I never thought that I could enjoy
shopping for clothes - I am now officially addicted..
I actually went back on Sunday to
pick up my lay-by at Maggie T and even bought a pair of red shoes.
I am contemplating buying blue
shoes (to go with my blue top and white outfit - or to go with my black pants
and blue top. I am also thinking of getting green shoes to match my green
tops. Now that is a big change for someone who only wore black from head to toe
forever and a day!
I cannot thank you enough - you
were fantastic, thank you for changing me with your firmness and honesty - it
was what I needed. You are an inspiration....
By the way, the family loved the
choice of colours and outfits and are very happy to see me out of the black....
From the bottom of my heart
...THANK YOU.
Please stay in touch..
Hugs
Rina..
"Thank you Cindy for helping me make these changes"
Hello Cindy
Thank you for the follow up report, it is much appreciated. I have taken your
advice to heart and have made many styling improvements.
On arriving home I removed all the clothes from my wardrobe and hung all my new
clothes in their place. Then I sorted through my pre-existing clothes and
removed all traces of the "granny" look.
My new hairstylist listened to the changes you recommended and styled my hair
perfectly. It is such a good hair cut that it still looks great after several
weeks.
Next, I made changes to my makeup and have used Tash's recommendation which
include applying lip gloss 'champagne wishes', concealer and translucent
powder. I always leave the house with my makeup fully applied.
My underwear was horrible, but not anymore as I have visited a professional
lingerie outlet. The assistant fitted me with the right sized bra. Your
recommendation regarding the control brief and full brief is excellent advice.
I have also slim lined all my shoes and have a small stylish leather hand bag
for every day use.
The best part of all these changes is the positive remarks family and friends
have made about my hair and clothes.
Thank you Cindy for helping me make these changes.

'I saw in the mirror the old me starting to come back'.
What a
difference!!
I’m shorter
than 5 foot and after growing from a tiny ‘extra small’ to a ‘medium/large’, I
was struggling with my new shape. I thought I was doing the right thing wearing
baggy clothes to cover all my new lumps, bumps and rolls.
I Looked and
felt like a big, flowery frump. (Floaty tops are almost all covered in flower
prints!)
I assumed my
simple, stylish days were over.
Luckily I
turned to Cindy for help.
Initially I
just wanted someone to help find clothes that fit me. It’s very difficult being
under 5 foot and very round. Finding clothes to fit had become a nightmare. I
thought Cindy could help me with that.
But I was in
for a surprise!
As I stood in
the change room with the outfits she had chosen for me, I saw in the mirror the
old me starting to come back. Instead of the frump, I saw the sassy, confident,
slim woman staring back at me in the reflection!
Not only did
Cindy find clothes that fit me, she taught me how to make myself look slimmer by
wearing clothes that are more fitted (and lots of other secrets). By wearing all
the baggy, flowery clothes I was only making myself look worse. With the
techniques and tips Cindy taught me, I now know what to do to make the most of
my new shape. She made me look like the real me again! Instead of hiding my
body, I can make the most of it.
My shopping
day with Cindy provided me with lots of great basics for my wardrobe. Now I have
the knowledge to buy individual pieces to add to my new wardrobe. I have the
confidence to choose clothes that compliment my new shape.
Having Cindy
and her professional expertise helped me learn things I never could have worked
out on my own. Believe me, it really is a science. The optical illusion she
helped me create is amazing!
Hubby is
absolutely thrilled to see the Old Me back. Not a flower print in sight!!
I’m glad I had
the good sense to hire a professional before wasting loads of money on clothes
that did nothing for me. With Cindy I spent the money on clothes that make me
look and feel great!
Thanks for
your help Cindy!

"You look to be glowing"
Hi Cindy,
You probably
don't remember me (if you do it was probably for all the wrong reasons).
I was
fortunate enough to have a Style Session with you at Highpoint during L'Oreal
Fashion Week and the first comment you made to me was "You're wearing the wrong
lipstick" and I had just bought 5 of them as they had been discontinued and I
managed to find a Chemist that still had stock left. Oh but how right you were,
I still wear it occasionally but only as a base coat with another colour over
the top.
I put on lay-by at Cue the pants, top and short sleeved cardy to go over the top
and the belt and I think I have worn the belt nearly every day since. My hair
was layered and shaped to frame my face.
I receive comments about how great it looks mainly from more discerning friends
whose opinions I really appreciate. A comment from a work colleague recently
was "You look to be glowing" I think it was another hot flush but I accepted it
as a compliment.
I left it too late to get my size for the top you recommended at CR however I've
acquired some pieces which I'm delighted with and am now wearing red with
confidence, which I was led to believe I couldn't wear about 25 years ago! So
thanks Cindy for the notes and advice (balancing my shoulders with hips,
layering, etc) and your honesty. I have embraced it and felt I had to tell you
also.
Regards
Cheryl Turner.
"I now feel like a hot classy looking yummy mummy"
Hi
Cindy.
Georgina here. It has been two weeks since our day together and I can
honestly say I have received a compliment every single day since from family,
friends and all the mums at school/kinder. I am not used to this and it has done
wonders for my self esteem and confidence.
I so lacked confidence with my
looks, body image and style. It was a terrific 40th birthday present. Since you
have taught me the styles that fit me, I now have the confidence to shop on my
own.
The little tricks of the trade have been most valuable. I now no longer
feel like a boring, lifeless, (dare I say f-t) housewife. I now feel like a hot
classy looking yummy mummy. (By the way, my husband needs serious work - do you
do men). Jokes aside, thank-you very much for everything.
I cant wait to do
winter with you.
Regards Georgina.
"My self-esteem is at an all time high"
Cindy
is fantastic! I was in desperate need for a new look and was feeling totally
flat when I decided to contact her. She opened my eyes to a new way of shopping
in ways I would never have imagined. Not only was she easygoing and fun, I felt
like I was out shopping with a girlfriend. Cindy has an amazing eye for what
looks great on you. Clothes I would never have considered wearing suddenly
looked sensational once she had finished with me. I highly recommend Cindy to
anyone who is looking for a change, a self-esteem boost or just an updated
wardrobe. My self-esteem is at an all time high and my friends in total
admiration for my new look. Thank you Cindy!

'I just didn’t know what looked good on me
anymore'
I am a 38 year old mother of
three young children (5, 4 and 2),
and felt like I had fallen into
‘mummy mode’ – thinking only of the
children and the family, and
forgetting about myself. I would go
shopping and see nice things, but
just didn’t know what looked good on
me anymore, or what the trends were,
etc. I had a closet full of clothes
that I no longer wore, and didn’t
know how to put together the few
stylish things I did have. I then
made an appointment with Style with
Cindy, during one of her visits to
Brisbane.
I thought
the whole process was great, from
our initial email correspondence to
our wardrobe meeting and the best
part – the shopping! Cindy made me
feel very comfortable the whole
time, even the initial trying on of
all my clothes in my wardrobe. The
process actually made me feel very
comfortable in my choices in
clothing – Cindy showed me that I
just needed a little extra help to
pull the outfits I had together, and
how I could improve on my wardrobe
in general. She was also able to
point out how I should wear my
clothing to suit my shape, and even
better – she gave me confidence in
my shape! It’s not so bad after all
and I can look good in my clothes!
The best part of the process was the
actual shopping. I am not a keen
shopper at the best of times, and
Cindy made it so easy and fun. The
three hours went by so quickly. I
was able to get many of the ‘basics’
to get me started – clothing that I
can mix and match and wear every
day. Cindy obviously listened to me
during the wardrobe phase, and I was
able to get many of the pieces I was
really looking for – including my
first ever knee-high boots!
Friends are now commenting on my
clothing and saying how great I look
– some even asked if I had lost
weight or something! So overall, I
am thrilled with the whole process
and would call on Cindy’s services
again – probably for the next
season’s wardrobe!
Cheers,
Ann Eldridge
