A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Charlotte. For years, I've looked at people through my camera lens as a food photographer, capturing food, people and places. Photographing people has taught me one thing: style has nothing to do with the size tag and everything to do with how someone feels in their own skin. My background in photography has also given me the visual skills to understand shape, form and colour, which feed hugely into my work as a personal stylist. My photographer's eye helps me spot balance and proportion — and to see whether an outfit works or not, and why it works or doesn't.

After having my children, my relationship with my body shifted — from quietly picking at what wasn't right to a genuine sense of pride in what it had achieved. I started following brilliant dressers on Instagram, who proved that getting older isn't about fading into the background: it's about dressing with pure personality — your personality. Anyone who knows me knows I'm quite bubbly and bright, and my clothing reflects this. Thankfully, my best colours are bright colours.

Maybe life has changed, your body has changed, or the clothes you used to reach for don't feel quite like you anymore. Maybe you'd simply like someone kind and honest to talk it through with. You don't have to figure it all out alone.

We'll start with what you want from your clothes and what you already like about yourself. Then we'll find ways to bring more of that into your wardrobe — gently, without rules about what you ought to wear.

We can start with the clothes you already own, try a few small tweaks and build from there. The point isn't to become somebody else. It's to make getting dressed feel easier, more joyful and more like you.

And if you've ever wondered where the name comes from — it's my granny I have to thank for that. She lived in Rome and worked as a personal shopper for tourists, taking them to any shops or markets they wanted to explore. She also wrote for American newspapers about the Rome fashion scene, going to the fashion shows every season to report on them. That love of style has been handed down the family, and Third Generation Stylist is my way of carrying it on.

I'm all about

• Confidence

  Find the things you appreciate about yourself and give them room to shine.

• Comfort

  No itchy waistbands. If it pinches, it goes.

• Joy

  Getting dressed can be a pleasure, not another thing to get right.

Training & experience

I trained with Jennifer Jones from With Style in 2021 and have been working for her brand for the last five years. Jennifer has taught me a huge amount and it was lovely having her support throughout this time. I set up my Instagram, @thirdgenstylist, several years ago and decided in 2026 to make this into my own brand and website that reflects more of me and how I work with my clients.

No obligation — we'll work out together whether it's right for you.
