“Donna-Lea set me up with a polished, professional look for an important interview with very short notice. After shopping for me, she brought all the options to my place of work and helped me choose an outfit that fit well and I felt great in. Donna-Lea has fabulous fashion sense and is a delight to work with. I recommend her styling skills 100%.”
“Donna Lea is smart, talented and fun. She cleared out my stuffed, cramped, inefficient closet; and made better use of what I had. We repaired, refitted, and rearranged my clothes to not waste anything. Then she headed out with a shopping list and returned to my home with a bag full of exciting new clothes. Her eye is incredible. Her talent and ability to see style are fantastic. Anything I didn’t want she returned! Clothes shopping is a chore for me, but as I switched careers from a photographer who wore all black to a Professional Celebrant, standing up in front of hundreds of people, I needed to be confident and well dressed! Donna Lea saved the day! I no longer buy clothes that are on sale, kind of work, sort of fit and are exactly what I already have in my closet.”
“I was travelling and needed a summer wardrobe. I have never had a personal shopper and Donna Lea was the perfect introduction. She made sure she got to know my sense of style and went out of her way to find clothing that suited both my taste and my budget! It didn’t matter if I was looking for trendy or classic; she had a great sense of all styles. She
is genuine and very easy going which made the shopping experience a pleasure. I would highly recommend Donna Lea to anyone who is looking for a personal shopper. She really knows her stuff!”
“Sessions with Donna Lea saved me time and money. After a thorough, respectful wardrobe assessment and some guidance about how to use what I already had, she recommended a few items that would make my wardrobe more cohesive. Donna Lea paid attention to my body type, my preferences and my budget to help me with everyday casual dressing, professional clothes that work in the healthcare field and special occasion dressing. I’ve stopped making shopping mistakes, thanks to her patient coaching. I highly
recommend Donna Lea to anyone wanting to look their best.”
“I had one of the most incredible and fun shopping
experiences with Donna-Lea! She is one of those people that makes you feel instantly comfortable. It felt like i had known her for years! I have never met anyone who understands fashion, design and textiles to the extent that she does. I learned so much! We spent hours tougher looking for various items that i needed for my wardrobe and I did not want the date to end. Shopping for clothes has always been a massive chore for me so enjoying the experience was an amazing feeling! She took away all my stress and indecision. Every store we went into, she was like a hawk knowing and choosing exactly what suited me best. I bought articles that I wold never try on if I was on my own. She was extremely efficient. She knew in an
instant what worked and what didn’t and how to adjust the items that didn’t fit quite right. She looked after me so well! I didn’t have to lift a finger and handled everything with much care and attention. Donna Lea, you are incredible and I can’t wait for our next shopping experience together. The time and money you saved me was amazing! Thank you for your big heart and passion. It made my shopping day with you a very special and unforgettable one!”
“I must mention one miraculous feat: I wasn’t pleased with my wedding dress and in a harried bride panic, I decided I needed a new one exactly one week before my wedding date. Donna Lea found me one in a single day, on sale, and had it altered in plenty of time. She is a wonder.”
“A few sessions with Donna Lea have saved me so much time and money. I now rarely buy something that just sits in my closet unused.”
“Donna Lea Ford is by far my favourite creative eye in regards to wardrobe. Her sessions with me were warm and empowering and efficient. It’s so easy to feel as though the figure is flawed if it doesn’t happen to fit into a standard size right off the hanger. Donna Lea quickly dismantled that harmful thought and was able to go through my wardrobe and kindly eliminate things that did not flatter me. She also did this for my husband. Her quick eye, sense of humour and tact made it an enjoyable experience for him and this is not a man who enjoys shopping. She was able to incorporate our lifestyle and our personal style within her own
sensibilities.”
