DISCOVER YOUR STYLE
Great style isn’t simply about following fashion trends. With a little bit of guidance and helpful advice, great style is within your reach.
Let us help you discover your own unique, personal style. One that works with your lifestyle and your budget. A collaboration that will give you the confidence to style your existing wardrobe or help you purchase the best pieces for you. Ministry of Style offers contemporary, fashion-forward, and individual style.
We offer personal shopping that will take you to a mix of new, contemporary, and classic fashion stores around Auckland. But if you are looking at bringing sustainable options into your wardrobe then Ministry of Style is a huge proponent of sustainable fashion including vintage and second-hand options. I have a knack for styling vintage treasures cultivated through years of purchasing and wearing myself, I understand how to reimagine old silhouettes in a modern, interesting way and incorporate this into established wardrobes or blending as I like to call it. Check out our vintage style section further down the page.
Ministry of Style offers various packages and hourly rates including personal shopping/styling, wardrobe editing, vintage and second-hand designer shopping, for women, men and non-binary. We can tailor our services to your specific needs; you may want your shopping done in one day or require a more in-depth wardrobe analysis. We also offer a Digital Look Book, the first of its kind in New Zealand, and according to client feedback highly recommended.
Ministry of Style also offers fashion styling for commercial video and editorial, take a look at my dedicated page for more details and examples.
Ministry of Style offers:
To help get an idea of your fashion requirements, we have created a questionnaire for you to fill in before the initial consultation. The more information we have beforehand the better, as it helps to tailor your shopping experience and save you time. But do not feel obliged to fill this in, all information is private and never shared. You are also welcome to contact us directly with any queries you have in relation to the services on offer.

Testimonials
- I had been unhappy with my wardrobe for some time and I used Jacqui’s Wardrobe Audit Services to help me come up with new outfits with what I already had. She helped me achieve this without spending a fortune – which was a real bonus!
Jacqui really knew how to put pieces together to create a whole new look combing new and vintage. I used to wear trousers all the time, but now I feel great in dresses and skirts, both vintage and new.
She has also taught me the power of accessories – how a belt or a bag can transform an outfit into something truly unique.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jacqui to anyone who wants to spice up their wardrobe. She can help you create a signature style that you’re proud to call your own.
Joanna MathersWriter - Jacqui took me shopping for a special awards event that I had to attend. I wanted to look my best but I was so busy that I couldn’t find anything to wear in such a short amount of time. She did her research and we spent a couple of hours looking at outfits within my price range and trying some on.
Jacqui made it so much fun and she is excellent at picking out amazing pieces I would never have thought would suit me. We found a wonderful outfit that I feel a million dollars in. I would not hesitate to recommend Jacqui for any event or styling experience.
Belinda GreggBusiness Owner - The shopping trip with Jacqui was fantastic. She saved me time and took away the stress and confusion of shopping alone and we found some great pieces to complement my current wardrobe. I felt Jacqui looked at all possibilities to find the the appropriate pieces for my age and body shape. Thanks again for the great help and I would certainly use her again.Barbara SmithEditorial Assistant
- I highly recommend Jacqui’s service. She’s professional yet warm and shopping with her was a lot of fun. She provides practical advice and is great at ensuring everything you buy is flattering yet versatile. The digital look book at the end is a fantastic way of not forgetting her pearls of wisdom. I’ll definitely be using her again when it comes to winter!Samantha VincentMarketing
Jacqui – what a terrific Look Book. I am onto it now! I look forward to the pdf version when ready. Don’t know how to thank you – I am just so pleased. Tom keeps saying “is that a new dress or outfit?” and I keep saying “no” just my clothes being worn in a different way. He totally approves! What are great find you have been!
Rosy ParsonsLegal Executive“I just wanted to say how happy I am with all the clothes you picked out, I went back and got all of them, a lot of it was on sale and was actually very affordable. I was so excited to get everything home and I’m really exited about wearing it all!
I feel like my understanding of clothes is a little better now but I would definitely use your service again for a different season. I really wish I’d found you earlier and booked in with you years ago, it would have saved me a lot of hassle.
I was a little intimidated meeting with a ‘stylist’ but found you to be very grounded and relaxing to shop with. I felt like you really understood what I wanted (even though I didn’t really know) and you didn’t push me into things I wasn’t comfortable with.
You have such a good eye for clothes I joked with my friend that you probably could have made me look great from a $2 shop.
Thanks again for all your help, I am very happy with your service and all my cool new clothes. Hopefully see you again.”EmSocial Worker- I was very nervous engaging with a ‘stylist’ but I chose Jacqui because her website portrayed a modern very experienced stylist who worked with all sizes, budgets, and styles!
I am thrilled with my online lookbook! Living North of Auckland, the easiest and quickest way to update my work wardrobe was online, and I was skeptical, but Jacqui went above and beyond and incorporated my ideas, existing pieces I love, and high-end pieces with alternate affordable pieces, but never compromising my own style. I have deviated from her advice now and then but I always come back to my look book, because every time it works !!
I’m so happy I worked with Jacqui, she is genuinely interested and goes that extra mile! I will definitely be engaging her services again.MerylSocial Worker
