WELCOME EUNICE!

PLEASE TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF. HOW DID YOU FIND YOUR WAY INTO PERSONAL STYLE CONSULTING & MINDFUL CLOSET CURATION? 


My love for fashion started in my early teens. I went on to pursue my interests in fashion by completing an entry level course called Fashion Industry Practice. I decided that it wasn’t enough and needed some guidance on the business side of Fashion which led me to complete a 4 year Bachelors Honours Degree in Fashion Business & Promotion. During my time in university, I worked in fashion retail as a sales advisor and then got promoted to an instore Senior Stylist for some of the UK’s biggest premium brands. I must mention that I completed most of my studies and acquired the necessary styling skills when I moved to the UK. 

What really led me to personal style consulting and mindful closet curation was my experience in fashion retail. While I was working part-time, I had the opportunity to help women regain confidence in themselves and their wardrobes. I assisted them in choosing the right pieces for their wardrobe and absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Knowing that clients left the store with the biggest smiles on their faces, excited about their purchases, made me so happy. This is why I do what I do. Thankfully, I’m now expanding my services to folks all over the world as a certified image consultant and personal stylist.



YOU SHARE SOME OF THE MOST HELPFUL TOOLS I’VE COME ACROSS FOR FOLKS IN NEED OF PERSONAL STYLE SUPPORT. WHAT IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND YOUR WORK IN THIS FIELD?


Thank you for your kind words, Lee! I derive joy from helping folks look and feel good in the clothes they wear. That’s what keeps me going – knowing that I’m actually providing value to someone. I want to educate and teach people how they can style pieces and create a wardrobe that they truly love.


Here’s a taste of some of the incredible content Eunice offers her community.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMMON STYLE STRUGGLES YOUR CLIENTS/FOLLOWERS COME TO YOU FOR ADVICE ON?


The common style struggle would be dressing for particular body types and building a practical and sustainable wardrobe. My clients and followers would come to me for advice on this. Many of them would mention the struggles they have building a well curated closet or finding their personal style.

REVAMPING YOUR CLOSET AND STYLE CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING. HOW DO YOU RECOMMEND FOLKS GET STARTED?


I always recommend folks to get started by analysing their wardrobes first. By taking a look at what we already have, we can determine our likes, dislikes and identify any gaps that need filling. This is the first step to finding out your personal style among others.


HOW HAS YOUR LIFE IN IRELAND SHAPED YOUR APPROACH TO GETTING DRESSED & YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?

I don’t think my life in Ireland has really shaped my overall approach to personal style and getting dressed. Of course, Ireland isn’t really recognized as being a fashion-forward country so I wear what makes me feel good even though there might be a few stares lol.



 HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR  STYLE IN 5 WORDS OR LESS?

Classic with a retro twist.



WARDROBE FAVOURITES

WHAT ARE THE 3-5 MOST WORN/LOVED ITEMS IN YOUR CLOSET?


Levi’s 501 originals
Gucci loafers
Hobbs London black checked coat 

  • Where did you find the item?
  • Bought my Gucci loafers secondhand on Vestiaire Collective – in pristine condition!
  • If it somehow got lost or ruined today, would you immediately want to replace it?
  • Yes, I would immediately replace my Levi’s as they are a wardrobe staple and my Gucci loafers because they just go with absolutely everything.


WHAT MAKES A GREAT OUTFIT FOR YOU?


A great outfit for me is something simple and chic paired with a bold or statement piece! That could be a red lip or some printed ankle boots.


WHAT DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH MOST WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CLOSET? 


Finding the space to organize my clothes – I moved back to my childhood bedroom during the pandemic where I now work from home, so finding the space to store and organize everything has been tricky but thank goodness for storage solutions!

DO YOU HAVE ANY ITEMS ON YOUR WISH LIST CURRENTLY?


Yes, I have my eye on a spring/summer suit or co-ord preferably in a stone/beige tone. Relaxed tailoring is big this season!

This linen set from Hobbs is SO dreamy too.



FOR FUN

WHAT ARE YOU: 


  • WATCHING: Homeland – I’m late to the party but what an unbelievable show!
