Real Women - Testimonials

"I was humbled and excited to be selected by Janine as winner of a Wardrobe Revamp competition which also included an extremely generous shopping voucher from www.virtushop.com.au. I am a young mum to 3 little girls under the age of 5 and my whole world revolves around them. My body had changed dramatically since becoming a mum and my fashion choices were centred on what was comfortable, mostly jeans with a top. Half of my clothes I had donated because they didn't fit me anymore, and when I would go shopping I would always come home empty-handed and depressed because nothing would fit right.

My experience with Janine was wonderful. She was warm and funny and I was instantly at ease. We went through my wardrobe and I was amazed at how quickly her eye put outfits together. We had fun dressing up and putting together variations of basic outfits. Janine showed me some wonderful ways of accessorising the clothes that I had and I even learnt how to wear a belt! My mummy wardrobe and my confidence was transformed and rejuvinated without spending a cent! I've rediscovered clothes that I'd worn only once and now I know how to make the most of what I have. Janine helped me take pride in myself again and the results have been instantly noticed by my girls ("Mummy, you look so pretty!" and my very happy husband! :)

Thank you Janine! It was a fabulous and rewarding experience!"

I recently had the experience of going wedding dress shopping with Janine. As a size 24-26 I have previously found the experience very daunting and a bit of a knock to my ego!
From the first moment I met Janine her positivity & enthusiasm engulfs you & I felt completely at ease. I felt like i was going shopping with a friend! Wedding dress shopping requires a fair bit of standing around in your underwear - something that I'm not particularly fond of doing in front of strangers but I truly can say Janine just makes you feel comfortable. I was extremely lucky to find my dress that day & with Janine's expertise I learnt a lot more about what will & wont suit my figure & how to make my body look taller, tips that i can also use wearing everyday clothes.

I would recommend Janine's services to absolutely everyone!! You get the point of view from someone who knows how you feel on an emotional level and then the keen styling eye. With so many of us Big Beautiful Women around its wonderful to see a service finally acknowledging that we don't have to look like blobs in flowery tents but we can look stylish, modern & most importantly Beautiful!

Thank you Janine & I wish you good luck. I believe this business is going to be HUGE!

Thanks Janine for the invitation to Te Kiero's opening. Chelsea, Avalon and I had a great evening and we all got a special something. We wish Teresa and Kiero all the best with their store, it is good to see someone local looking out for those stylish pieces in the larger sizes.

Janine, as the winner of a 4 hour personal shopping experience last month, thank-you so much for a wonderful time in your most pleasant company. From the time that you picked me up and whizzed me off to places I had never even heard of J (really just the outer suburbs of Melbourne but when you live 2 hours away...) We chatted like old friends over morning tea before tackling the fist pre agreed item on the list: the dreaded bra fitting! We all know that you have to really be in the mood to be wrestling those babies on and off but Janine took me to a lovely shop with equally lovely ladies who made the whole process seamless (like the new beaut bra I brought – what an uplifting experience that was J!)

In & out of Janine’s little car – whizzing here & there to some of the most fantastic little shops with clothes to die for - the likes of which I am not exposed to locally. We managed time for a quick lunch break & off we went again – I’m sure Janine was most impressed with the speed at which I managed to throw clothes on and off – I was going to make the most of this shopping experience.

Janine was honest when asked her opinion of style /colour and happily grabbed goodies off the racks that she thought I may like to try on (she got it right most of the time but......you can’t win them all J) and there was no pressure to make a purchase.

The 4 hours passed so quickly, Janine was an absolute treasure & I arrived home 2 hours later (after falling asleep on the train) with my ‘finds’ happy, exhausted and above all honoured to have met Janine.

Hi Janine,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful 2 hour Just YOU Personal Shopping Experience! It was great having some positive help whilst trying to look and feel fabulous. I also discovered that 2 hours was not enough, next time it will be longer. The next day I wore a top that we had purchased and a complete stranger asked me where I got it from, I have NEVER experienced this before and it made me feel GORGEOUS! My girlfriends and family have commented on my new outfits and are jealous that you don't do shopping trips for them.

I had a great afternoon and I am looking forward to doing it again.

Thanks,

Hi Janine,

I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic day! We certainly shopped til we dropped, and it was such a wonderful and worthwhile experience! Your friendly, yet professional nature made it easy to relax and enjoy ourselves, and your fantastic eye for fashion detail was amazing! It was also nice to shop with other curvy ladies, and I definately felt comfortable in my own skin, thanks to the great mix of people on the day.

Kind regards,

Rosie, Competition Winner - August 2009

Hi Janine,

Thank you enormously for such a wonderful day today. I am so glad that I came and met such a gorgeous group of women.
It was just lovely to watch everyone try on such beautiful clothes and see how gorgeous they all looked. I have just arrived home and I feel so uplifted by the experience.

Janine you have really developed an inspiring and awesome business and I'm so glad that the Universe put us on the same path....

Kindest regards,

Karen - Competition Winner - August 2009.

Dear Janine,

I attended your Mystery Shopping Event (now VIP Events) on 6th August, 2009. I did not know what to expect and have a very enjoyable evening. The ladies at (secret location) and yourself were so welcoming and I will be coming back for a future 'mystery evening'.

I like being able to try on clothes and try pieces I usually wouldn't try. I ventured outside my comfort zone and had a great time!

A relaxing evening with the opportunity to try on clothes, have some refreshments and be pampered was well worth the effort to attend.

Cheers,

Sue, Mentone, Vic. - July 2009
