    Designer Alterations are an absolute gem... who else will collect, clean, valet and store your last season's treasures - and pull them out of storage for you at a moments notice? Established by Julia Dee in 1992, their client list includes many an 'A' lister and the super-brands we all adore.

    They offer a comprehensive service from design & tailoring to alterations, and are a wonderful follow on from our Wardrobe Management service as they will help to sell your unwanted designer gear.

    The Admirable Crichton
    The Admirable Crichton

    When it comes to all things image & style we are always interested - especially when throwing a bash. The Admirable Crichton is the name behind the world?s most polished parties. Established in 1981, the Crichton team have worked in extraordinary places; up snow covered mountains, on tropical islands, in museums and palaces, on yachts, in aeroplanes - from London to Moscow, Marrakech to New York.

    From the first call their party designers will work with you to find the perfect location, decor, wines and music even down to the tiniest petal placed on a napkin, and we haven?t yet mentioned their fabulous chefs and food designers! This talented team?s passion for food is evident and they relish all challenges from a spectacular formal banquet to a relaxed dinner for ten.

    We Like... to Bid For Charity

    eBay Charity Auctions

    Last but certainly not least - eBay for Charity is an easy way to support charities while buying and selling on eBay. Buyers can bid for charity items knowing that they are helping a worthy cause and sellers can donate a percentage of their sales to certified charities.


    Why Image Matters
    Home Image matters because people often make assumptions based on limited information. In their book Social Psychology, H. Andrew Michener, John D. DeLamater and Daniel J. Myers explain that when we observe a single physical characteristic or behaviour in someone, we tend to assume that that person has a number of other qualities too.

    For example, someone may be perceived as confident because they have a firm handshake. They may be seen as trustworthy because they make eye contact. They may be judged as capable, professional, successful - even wealthy or intelligent - because they are well dressed.

    The reverse is also true.
