HEY, I'M RACHEL

It’s simply awesome to e-meet you, I couldn’t be more excited to have you here! I’d love to let you in a little on who I am, where I’ve been and what The Renovated Closet is all about...

I’m a born and bred South African gal who has lived in London for 2 years. I have been living with my gorgeous family for the past 10 years in Newcastle and absolutely love my colourful and crazy life. 

I was born into a family of diverse creatives, from graphic designers, fine artists to fashion designers and writers. With a mom as a fashion designer, from a young age I was constantly surrounded and inspired by the beautiful fabrics and textures that used to drape our living room. 

My true passion resides in my ability to pull different textures, colours and fabrics together to create beautiful outfits, spaces and interiors. I am constantly inspired by my life’s purpose and passions; my crazy family, music that makes me want to get up and dance, delicious healthy food, outdoor adventures, overseas travel, assisting amazing people like yourself in feeling more confident and happy all teamed up with lots of fun and laughter.

Feeling beautiful is far more than just the clothes we wear, its a about creating a deep sense of confidence within ourselves, knowing we are enough and learning to love the life we are living right now. Always remember, the most beautiful thing a woman can wear is confidence and a smile. The prettiest women are the happiest women.

After working in the fashion industry for over 10 years, I have learnt some fast-track tips and have some great tools that I would love to share with you to get you feeling confident!  While we are all different shapes, sizes and colours, there are some fundamental principles we can draw on to make you appear slimmer, sexier and just darn right happier! 

I believe style should be fun, easy, comfortable and not break the bank, so I’d love to assist you in maximising your current wardrobe and save you precious time and brain power by 100% removing that laborious daily question of “What should I wear today?”. It is my vision for my clients that dressing daily for any occasion is completely effortless! I want you to feel more confident, stylish and love your life and your wardrobe!

It would be an absolute privilege to take you on this journey to self discovery and hopefully break you out of your comfort zone into the amazing woman you were born to be!

Much love, Rachel x
