My Story
Hi Everyone, I’m Natalie and I’d like to introduce you to Everyday Elegance.
Everyday Elegance is a personal styling and coaching service devoted to giving women the confidence and tools
to look good and more importantly feel good at any age.
It’s so easy to get caught up in life: building a career, running around after kids or caring for ageing parents, that without even noticing it, you're at the bottom of the priority list. It doesn't happen overnight but it does have a nasty habit of creeping up on us.
I was "that" woman! The one who got so caught up in raising a family and making sure everyone else's needs were met that I forgot to take time for myself. Gradually the active wear became the everyday wear, make up only came out on special occasions, the hairdresser's appointment would get pushed and suddenly I was getting mistaken for being my children's grandmother!
Enough was enough! I saw a personal stylist, found out which colours worked best for me and got rid of the clothes that I was holding onto because they were expensive or looked fabulous once upon a time. The confidence I gained from learning how to make the right style, colour and makeup choices for myself was empowering and the positive effects in my life, both personally and professionally were incredible.
I wanted all women to feel the way I did, and so the idea for Everyday Elegance was born. I retrained in personal styling and colour, and I now have the privilege of coaching women of all ages in how to use colour and style to look and feel fabulous. Understanding why a certain neckline or colour flatters, means that, regardless of trends coming and going, or the scale jumping up or down a few kilos, a woman can adapt for a season or a lifetime, and clothe herself in confidence every day!
Testimonials
"Natalie made me feel so welcome and comfortable while having my colours analysed. She not only showed me which colours looked best but she was able to explain why, and help me to recognise how each colour subtly changed my appearance. I was surprised that I ended up liking some colours I never would have considered before. I’m so excited to expand my wardrobe and look my best, thanks so much Natalie!"

"I recently had a wardrobe/styling session with Natalie and it was really helpful and fun as well!
Natalie was really patient while I tried on all my clothes and she gave really helpful advice regarding colours, styles, patterns and combinations and also advice on different ways to manage my wardrobe.
I was able to really think carefully then about what was lacking in my wardrobe, and what was excess to requirements. It was really great to have a plan so that I could then shop for specifics rather than just aimlessly wandering the shops not really knowing what to look for, or buying impulsively !!
Once I had a plan, Natalie also met up with me for a shopping experience and we spent some time looking at different styles and colours, and I was able to try on items to understand how different styles work (or don’t work). It was fun to go shopping without feeling frustrated or unsure about whether something looked good or not. Natalie is great fun to go shopping with and is honest but kind! In particular I found it really helpful to have some discussions about length (I am quite short) and I tried on different items to see the effect of different lengths on me. I’ve really got a much better idea now of what to look for when I go shopping.
If you are needing some advice with a wardrobe revamp, I would definitely recommend giving Natalie a call."

"Mum would always tell me when a colour suited me, whether I could see it or not; but having her walk me through why certain colours worked or didn't work has made me so much more confident when I'm looking for key pieces for my wardrobe!"
