The person behind Caboodle Style
Back in 2006, after a career in marketing, I decided to make a change and pursue my true passion – style and fashion – and set up Caboodle Style.
Looking back I realise that without thinking about it I was already advising friends on clothes and taking them shopping (at their request I hasten to add) long before I made it my day job. I suppose I had a natural eye for it and when combined with structured/professional style advisor training I really began to get into my stride.
From my personal experience in the past I can truly empathise with anyone who is not happy with their appearance – it can have a massively detrimental impact on your life. For me, seeing people transformed by a makeover, both externally but crucially internally, is a big part of why I love doing what I do. I'm keen to change attitudes towards personal styling and shopping so that it isn't seen as something for an elite few – after all we each deserve to look our absolute best.
With this in mind, my approach has always been for my services to be practical, friendly and affordable.

Laura's warm and personable manner instantly put me at ease and any doubts and preconceptions that I had about personal styling and stylists were banished. She catered for my budget and took time to enquire about my preferred tastes. I particularly liked that she didn't try to push me into any directions that I didn't feel comfortable with.

Laura is able to give advice in a way that is not pushy or overbearing, and has a good sense of humour which makes the experience a lot of fun.
