Simon Copeland - Wardrobe Detox

Made an expensive mistake in Summer sales? Or perhaps you need help culling your exploding wardrobe? Well then look no further because we at The Amazing Blog have the answer to your prayers. Fashion Designer, Simon Copeland, with expert tailoring skill, will advise you on colour, style and fit, and you won't have to move from the comfort of your home. And if you need a little addition to make that jacket or dress really work, he can sort that too, with a wide range of outfits and separates designed exclusively for you.

A Wardrobe Detox Consultation lasts for two hours, with Simon coming to your home or office and going through your wardrobe, or indeed simply the pieces you wish to pull out for attention. There are three categories:

Current Season - the pieces you are wearing to their full potential, and therefore earning their place in your wardrobe.

Potential Tweaking - the pieces which may appear dated or even unwearable, but with a little adjustment, can be altered to become part of your Current Season Wardrobe.

Redundant Pieces - the outfits which have served their purpose, and which need to be sent to the recycling bin, and thus creating space in your wardrobe. He calls it CPR for your clothes!

 

The cost of the detox is £250, which covers the initial two hour consultation, and the alteration of one outfit which is undertaken by Simon's team, at his studio, and then returned to you. Further alterations can be arranged, and quoted for accordingly. For every friend you introduce to The Wardrobe Detox, and who books a consultation, you can claim a further free alteration. Further information, testimonials and details can be found at www.simoncopeland.com/detox. Simon can be contacted on 020 7924 1985 or the mobile 07768 760315. The mobile is better as Simon is always out and about dealing with troublesome wardrobes! Alternatively, you can email detox@simoncopeland.com or Simon directly on simon@simoncopeland.com. Our Executive Ed at TheAmazingBlog was very ebullient about her experience; she felt ‘totally cleansed’ and we’ve certainly seen her sporting some rocking remakes…

De-clutter your wardrobe with the Underbed Organiser

The arrival of London Fashion Week can only mean one thing - summer is officially over. And I, for one, am somewhat relieved. Don’t get me wrong, I love nothing more than the catwalk of summer fashion - being able to throw on a tea dress and  sandals is always a joy. But lets face it, there has been but a handful of opportunities to showcase our summer wardrobes this year, which is why I’m looking forward to packing up my flimsy dresses and denim cut-offs to make room for my chunky knits and cashmere cardis. Unfortunately, however, a decade long shopping addiction has left me with such a vast number of clothes that my poor wardrobe metaphorically groans under the enormous weight of it all.

Which is why I was thrilled to come across The Holding Company’s Underbed Organiser. It has two space saver vacuum bags inside, perfect for when you’re short on space, big on clothes. It’s pretty easy to use – simply fill with clothes (it’s also great for packing up duvets, towels, or anything bulky), and using the nozzle of a Hoover suck out the air and hey presto! as if by magic the Underbed Organiser will shrink before your very eyes. And even better – you’ll never have to pass up the opportunity of buying that must-have dress or jacket due to lack of space again!
