Your input to the Style Synergy system
Hello!
I am very close to launching the Style Synergy system – a style personality quiz and guide. As far as I can tell it’s a world first!
I’ve been working on my system of style personality types for a number of years (the whole time I’ve been a stylist) and it feels finally very close to wrapping up – all going well we should be able to release the whole system in October.
The system is a quiz and twelve guides, which will be in PDF format (or possibly video), one for each of the twelve types. Each guide will cover every possible aspect of how to apply your style type to your personal style.
The style types themselves are based on the Big Five psychological traits, one of the most well-researched and widely accepted frameworks in psychology for describing human personality.
I’ll include tips and observations from real-life client situations, examples of looks that work for that style type, and tips for colours, patterns and prints, textures, fit, dressing for social occasions and an overview of the style identity that goes with that type.
However, I need your help. Before we finalise everything (Hayley and I are both hard at work on this), we need to make sure we have everything covered.
This is where you come in. If you could take a couple of minutes to answer this super-short survey that would be amazing.

I was feeling uninspired with what I had in my wardrobe, I had no confidence. I was stuck in a weird place of ‘I don’t’ knows’. It felt like everything I put on wasn’t good or wasn’t right!
Nina’s prior-to-shopping process was so necessary to go through – to discuss what colours will work for me, how to learn that and how to use them. Getting heaps more confidence – by going through my wardrobe and ditching all the clothes that didn’t work for me. Combined has helped me identify what my wardrobe is! I loved that I didn’t have to explain it to her – she just figured it out and simplified it all for me. Now I feel confident experimenting with heaps of new items, fits, and colours.
I can’t recommend it enough.

Before I worked with Nina, I had a wardrobe full of clothes that were nice enough, but I didn’t feel good about them, and I wasn’t exactly sure why I wasn’t reaching for them. It was that classic problem of “nothing to wear”. I kept buying clothes to solve this problem, but still didn’t feel like I was building a wardrobe I loved. Things that seemed great in the shop when I tried them on, I often changed my mind about later and never wore.
When I started working with Nina, all of this changed. I got clear guidance on what would work for me and what wouldn’t (in terms of colour, body shape and style), along with support to assess the clothes I was considering buying to make sure they would work for me. This is going to save me so much money in the long run.
I finally knew what my personal style was, because Nina amazingly managed to distil my tastes (in terms of personal style) into one accurate sentence, based on the homework exercise I did. This was so valuable and meant that buying clothes was much less ‘hit and miss’. I finally knew what my own style was all about, rather than guessing and often allowing in clothes that weren’t really ‘me’.
I also loved the pre-shopping that Nina did for me. I hate clothes shopping but she took the pain out of it by finding clothes that I would never normally try on, in shops I would normally never go into – and many of the pieces she chose were amazing. It was eye-opening and I have become more open now to trying things on rather than just automatically writing things off before I’ve tried them.
If you are considering Nina’s styling services but unsure, I think you won’t regret it if you decide to go ahead. Life is too short to wear clothes and colours that you don’t love. Nina has finally given me the confidence to say no to stuff that looks just ‘OK’ and stop compromising. I have had loads of compliments on my new wardrobe & feel fabulous when I wear my new clothes. I look forward to working with her in the future.

I wish I could rate Nina 6 stars! I went to her because I felt completely clueless and overwhelmed when I went clothes shopping, but after a few sessions, Nina has transformed my image to reflect my personality. She has great taste and explains style tricks/tips/rules in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Everything she does is so personalised and I love the end result. I can’t recommend her enough!

Nina helped me refresh my wardrobe and colours. She was very easy to work with and totally flexible with timings. She helped me pick out some fabulous pieces and taught me how to combine them to make my own personal style. Shopping was a breeze because all I had to do was try on the pieces she selected.
Nina is great to work with and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting a new look or an update to your wardrobe.

Nina, you were wonderful at being so flexible, open-minded and receptive to anything I presented, including the limited time and opportunity I had for shopping. It was amazing to see that you could assess and change to suit once we had finally met in-the-flesh as well.
I felt like you listened and prepared superbly given I wasn’t exactly sure what I needed myself. I really appreciated the clear communication lines from the very beginning. I think you did very well to pick up on my essential needs even though I was uncertain this one trip should include that too. Very cool! When I unpacked and showed my husband my purchases, he was very impressed with the choices of jackets (especially my most expensive item; which he adores).
Thank you for being my wonderful support person during my journey of re-discovery! It’s been a fantastic trip and I look forward to working with you again.

Nina was great through the whole process, taking the time to really listen to the look I wanted to achieve to suit my personality and reflect it in my clothes choices. I had come to a standstill with my wardrobe and couldn’t see what was right for me anymore.
Nina helped me with what shapes were flattering and the colours that suited me best which was amazing to then experience how focused your shopping could then be armed with that knowledge!
Nina is a lovely lady and fun to go shopping with! I enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend her.
My whole attitude is changing towards how I put an outfit together. Having the tools and being able to make better choices has really helped my confidence.
Thanks Nina!

Choosing Nina as my stylist was one of the best investments I made over the last year! I knew what looked good on me but my styling range was so narrow and predictable – I wanted to change things up. Nina has an amazing eye for what’s flattering and what’s merely meh. Her genuine and non-judgmental approach made me feel comfortable to open up my wardrobe for her to help me create new outfit combinations and go shopping with me. I highly recommend Style Gorgeous!

I had been struggling with loving my clothes – I felt I was wasting money – getting way more misses than hits. It felt like a big step to use the services of a Personal Stylist, however after seeing such brilliant results for women who had used such services, I knew it was time for me to do this. I spent less than half of my shopping budget; I got way more than I expected to – and I love every single thing.
Style Gorgeous was definitely the right choice for me. From the very first phone call, I was surprised, delighted, and super impressed. I have already recommended Style Gorgeous to at least 50 women, and I will be recommending to 5000 more!

I contacted Nina because I felt like my wardrobe needed a lift and I didn’t quite know how to do it or where to start. From the minute I contacted Nina she made me feel at ease and comfortable with the process, which like she says on her website will be fun, it was!
The process Nina takes you through will teach you about colour, what suits you and she will even share some great styling tips.
I had a great time shopping with Nina and got some great new clothes for my wardrobe and I am certain I will be booking another shopping trip in the future.
Thanks Nina.

A post baby body change left me confused with what suited me and lacking in confidence with what to put together. Nina completely sorted me and my wardrobe out. Nina taught me how to complete and accessorize the right looks to make the most of my post baby body. And shopping with her was so fun! I have a few new pieces too and I feel fabulous and have my confidence back!

I knew what I liked & didn’t want to lose those clothes. However, Nina facilitated a great session where she concentrated on what I liked and who I am. Nina’s service was over and above what I was expecting. It was so detailed, i.e. Pre-service questions, pre-shop, wardrobe assessment, after care service. She was also very respectful. I think it’s great value for anyone who wants to improve their self image and find more confidence in looking good for any occasion.

I decided to work with Nina because I wanted to get a few good outfits for work and maybe casual/going out, and learn what suits my figure and what I can feel comfortable in. The best thing about my new clothes and outfits is I know that they suit my body type and they are the right colours for me. That means I feel comfortable and more confident. My workmate complimented me on Monday when I wore two of the new items. I would recommend Nina to anyone that mentions they aren’t so confident with shopping and have similar struggles that I have. I have already mentioned her to a lady at work!

Understanding my style and colours has made such a huge difference to how I feel about myself- and it’s not just about confidence, I feel much more aligned with myself and that is such a wonderful feeling:)

Nina at Style Gorgeous is incredible. I had a unique request and she was able to tailor her service to what I needed in both personal styling and to benefit my business. Nina is professional, respectful, willing to go above and beyond and the value her knowledge and skill has brought both to my personal styling and for my customers as a fashion designer/seamstress has been well above what I paid.
Highly, highly recommended.

From the outset Nina was professional. She was through in her approach and followed up an email with a phone call to ascertain what we wanted from our session. Nina listened to what we wanted to achieve and took us to places we would never have found on our own. She identified what colours suited us and made it so easy to find things that worked. Her knowledge of foot sizing was invaluable as buying boots was part of our brief.
We had an amazing shopping experience with Nina and had so much fun in a relaxed way. Highly recommend Nina.

Nina helped me to define and express my style after losing quite a bit of weight, by having a look at my existing wardrobe, my style icons, and establishing my colours and body shape. I now have a more direct style, knowing what suits my parameters.
My shopping is easier now. I know exactly what to look for, colours, style and favourite shops. I can confidently wear my new look and totally rock it! People comment on how good I look now!
Nina has the gift of the gab when it comes to making her clients feel and look great about themselves by quantifying their features and working with them to achieve a result that will create a wonderful confidence that radiates to show the results she has achieved!
I have already recommended Style Gorgeous to friends and colleagues.

Nina is an amazing stylist. Whether you are looking to get up to date with the styles this season, dressing for success or looking to find out what kind of style flatters your body type and skin tone – Style Gorgeous is the place. Nina has an incredible eye for detail, colour and shape, this is what makes her stand out of the crowd. I totally recommend her to anyone.

My partner had a great time with Nina, thought her advice in clothing was excellent and thoroughly enjoyed her shopping trip.
