Lockdown 2020 was a funny – and often challenging – old time for most of us, myself included. But for me personally, it also gave me the opportunity to go and do something that I’ve been thinking about for a number of years.

A few months ago I decided to sign up for an online personal styling training course with the prestigious London College of Style. It was a fantastic challenge that I put my life and soul into for over eight weeks and I’m now super delighted to announce that my hard work and leap of faith has paid off and I’m now a qualified personal stylist!

I’ve loved fashion for as long as I can remember and I’ve always tried to encourage and support women through my writing since this very blog began over eight years ago, so my new service feels like a natural progression for me and is something I’m incredibly excited about.

In terms of this blog and book plans, nothing will change. I’ll still be writing. Always. The only difference is that besides using words, I’ll now also be doing my best to help women feel better about themselves, through style too! It really does feel like an honour.

My new styling site will be up and running very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to know more about my styling services please do feel free to get in touch via email at katie@poutinginheels.com. And if you want to take a look at my own personal style, please do come and follow me on Instagram for outfits and style inspiration.

Watch this space for more styling news soon.
