Hi I'm Bel,
I'm a proud mum of three beautiful children and I’ve experienced ALL the joys and juggling of work and family life.
I grew up in Sydney near the amazing Hawkesbury River, which perhaps explains my love of the outdoors, water and fresh caught seafood.
I'm an avid traveller who worked in the airline and travel industry in my early career. I travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and the Pacific, immersing myself in food, culture and international fashion along the way.
But the world of fashion, and the way clothes can affect how we look and feel, has always held a special fascination for me. I studied textiles and design and worked in retail fashion for over 10 years before establishing Department of Style.
It's about more than the clothes
I love working with clients from all walks of life, helping them find their own unique style.
For me, it’s much more than just about clothes. The change in confidence when you wear an outfit you love is truly incredible.
Whether you’re after a complete wardrobe overhaul, a new outfit for a special occasion or job interview, I’m here to help.
I'm warm, easy going and down to earth and it’s my mission to make your entire styling experience fun, informative and life-changing!
I can't wait to work with you!

Textiles Background
Having studied textiles and design, I understand how things should fit.
I love sharing my knowledge in every styling session to help you find figure-flattering garments that become long lasting favourites.
Shop Sustainably
When it comes to purchasing, I love to focus on investing in items that promote sustainability and longevity in the wardrobe. I'll show you where to find quality pieces that offer great value and low cost per wear.
Big on Tailoring
I’m a big believer in tailoring garments to suit your individual needs.
It’s often through tailoring that I can help my clients finally find those 'perfect' pants they’ve been dreaming of, or that dress they never thought they could wear.
Thank you so much Bel, for all of your wonderful help! I am so happy with my new wardrobe and I can’t wait to show everything off next term. I had such a fun morning and I can’t recommend you highly enough.

Wow! What a day! Thank you for your guidance; you have an amazing eye for detail and wonderful insight on how to dress. I cannot wait to hit the shops again with the knowledge you have imparted, and I look forward to getting the extra items you suggested.
