Hello, I’m Shabrina Kara founder of Style with Kara. I am a certified Image Consultant trained by the prestigious London Image Institute and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. With extensive experience as an Image Consultant/Personal Stylist in both London and New York, my specialty lies in empowering busy professional women to elevate their image through holistic styling methods.
My journey to Style with Kara wasn't a straight line. I began my career as a successful IT consultant, navigating the fast-paced worlds of dotcoms and telecoms. Those experiences instilled in me the importance of projecting a confident and polished image in demanding environments. Today, as a busy mom of two and entrepreneur, I understand firsthand the challenges of balancing a fulfilling career with the joys of family life. This unique perspective fuels my passion to empower other busy professional women to achieve the same.
Whether you're navigating a fast-paced work environment, balancing family responsibilities at home, or both, and finding little time or energy to update your wardrobe, you've come to the right place.
I've had the privilege of working with corporate clients such as Delta Airlines, serving as their on-site Stylist. My role involved ensuring their in-flight crew were compliant and confident in their personal style, ultimately boosting their confidence on the job.
In addition to my role as an Image Consultant, I'm also a skilled speaker. I'm passionate about sharing my knowledge and insights at classes, private clubs, and organizational events. I bring a blend of passion and expertise to the stage, captivating audiences with engaging talks on the transformative power of personal image. My aim is to empower attendees to unlock their full potential through intentional dressing.
Furthermore, I've had the pleasure of curating unforgettable styling events at top-tier retail stores. These events bring together fashion enthusiasts for an immersive experience in shopping and styling. As a result, I'm able to create personalized edits and assist in driving sales during these exclusive gatherings.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the transformative moments when my clients achieve their career goals and receive the recognition they deserve.
On a personal note, I reside in London with my husband, two beautiful daughters, and our lovable French bulldog, Rocco.
I am a holistic Style Coach, styling women for the inside out. I do this with my StyleFormula Method. I will take you through a journey where we will get to know you. This process uncovers your style personality, so we can find clothes that authentically represent you and your authentic self. We will also look at your body shape and which silhouettes will fit and flatter your body and explore which colours compliment your skin, hair and eyes.
This process helps clients connect with their inherent style and choose clothes that flatter – both externally and internally. It’s called ‘ enclothed cognition’ and how we dress and present ourselves can have a direct impact on how we behave. Science now confirms that what we wear influences our behavior, personality, attitude, mood, confidence and how we interact with others.
Clients opting for the Shop my Wardrobe or Signature Wardrobe Edit service will also benefit from a scaled-back version of this. My goal is to ensure every woman I work with leaves with a better understanding of how to shop and dress in a way that authentically represents them.
