Last year I surprised the team with a colour party with Abby Button Styling for our Christmas do and it was such a hit. We paired it with canapés and drinks which made it an all round great event. Abby made the whole thing so fun and interactive. You come away knowing your colours for clothing, makeup, jewellery, patterns and textures, how to pair things together, and if you have something you love or already have in your wardrobe that isn't your ideal colour, you learn how to style it so it still works for you. The app add-on has been such a great takeaway too, all our personalised colour styles right there on our phones whenever we need them. Everyone got involved, guys and girls, and we had the best time. We run a podcast and the team appear on camera, so understanding what works for each person's colouring has been brilliant for shoots, client meetings, and honestly just day to day. We've spent the whole year noticing each other's new styles, comparing how we chose what we were wearing that day. It's turned into a team culture thing that's carried on long after the event itself. A few of us even changed our hair colour off the back of it and the compliments have been non stop since. If you're looking for a team event that's genuinely fun and something people will still be talking about months later, book Abby. You won't regret it. 

Abby is both incredibly talented at her job and so friendly and warm to deal with! I love working with her as a stylist on photoshoots. She always nails the brief and makes everyone feel comfortable and looking their best which shines through in the photos. Thanks again Abby for all of your work! 

Making Abby our ‘Christmas Present’ to the team resulted in one of the best work events we’ve ever undertaken. We learnt about colour, about shopping, and about ourselves. Abby spent time with us as a group, sharing her insights on dressing in a way that is easier and less stressful. After spending time one-on-one with each member of our team, we were armed with information to help us make better decisions about what went into our wardrobes. The day we spent shopping as a team was phenomenal. It was like shopping with your own expert personal shopper, with your workmates as your cheer squad. Abby encouraged us to try things on that we’d never have pulled off the rack. She kindly explained why some things didn’t work, without ever making us feel self-conscious. She was endlessly patient and endlessly joyful. We’re not an office full of models; we are a real Kiwi workplace. We have men and women on the team, with people ranging from their late 20s to their early 70s. We come in all shapes, sizes and ethnicities. The pinnacle of the whole experience was the impromptu fashion show when we arrived back at the office. Every single team member had purchased something they loved, and witnessing the confidence they were all experiencing was the best Christmas gift for me as a business owner. Since we experienced the Abby Button effect, our workplace has become more colourful, and our staff are so invested in noticing when someone is wearing something that brings out their eyes, makes their skin glow, or simply looks amazing. We all have a level of confidence and excitement that it’s almost impossible to believe money could buy. But it did; investing in Abby made our whole team feel good about themselves. Believe me, she’s worth every cent.
