The Style Confidante

Episode 3 ~ Fiona

Following the success of our last Style Confidante makeovers we are delighted to share with you our latest style success stories.  

Under the careful guidance of internationally renowned personal stylist, Courtney Blood, and our very own Creative Director, Donna Guest, our next makeover recipient was welcomed into the Blue Illusion world and received an invaluable style education.   

Fiona's Style Discovery 

Fiona is a country girl at heart, enjoying life as a single mum of two. Her children are at the core of everything she does, whether she's cheering her kids on pitch side or throwing herself into a new role at her local school. Between moving house and renovating her backyard in time for summer, life is always in motion, leaving little time for Fiona to enjoy some well-deserved "me-time", let alone time to discover her own sense of style. 

Fiona's makeover was an opportunity to reimagine her wardrobe, giving her the confidence to put together looks that work effortlessly with her busy life, while also offering a rare moment to relax, unwind and focus on herself. 

Many of us will relate to Fiona's tendency to play it safe with her style. In her quiet town, she worries about looking overdone or that she's "trying too hard" — something Donna and Courtney were keen to put to rest! Through this makeover, they wanted to build Fiona's confidence and help her fall in love with pieces that make her feel beautiful, without losing the ease and comfort that's important to her. 

With Donna and Courtney by her side, Fiona embraced their styling advice and began to see just how much of a difference the right pieces could make. She quickly learnt how beautifully crafted clothes could help her feel more confident in herself and her personal style. 

3 Looks Tailor-made For Fiona's Every Moment  

Courtney introduces Fiona to the world of print through her favourite colour blue, drawing out her beautiful complexion and striking blue eyes. The dense Azure Opulence Print of the Printed Linen Blend Dress allows the eye to keep moving across beautifully designed silhouette which appears to be written in the stars for or makeover winner.  

As a busy working mum Courtney helped Fiona discover how easy it is to effortlessly put together an outfit that fits her busy schedule as well as her desire to find a style that she loves while being unique to her. Courtney shows Fiona the magic of the Ponte Blazer, designed in a wonderful fabric with comfortable stretch that can be dressed up for the office or dressed down with jeans for casual dinner with friends.  

By now we are fully aware of how much Courtney adores a scarf! Today, she shares that love with Fiona. Crafted from 100% pure silk, this lightweight Mosaic Print Scarf is the perfect accessory for Fiona to create an outfit that looks considered and harmonises the outfit's colour pallet.  

Fiona discovered looks that she could carry effortlessly day to day as well as a stand-out fashion moment that took our breath away. When Fiona tried on our Placement Broderie Shirt Dress, it was a match made in Blue Illusion heaven! Fiona instantly fell in love with the intricate detailing on the sleeves of this dress, while the feminine silhouette was certainly tailor-made for her. We can't wait to watch Fiona flourish in the next chapter of her style story.
