I'm Maria Pastor, a personal shopper who's spent 10+ years dressing real people across London. I built this so you can shop without second-guessing yourself. SHOPPING THAT WORKS FIRST TIME Most of what goes wrong online is buying something that was never going to suit you. Here, the shop is already filtered to your body shape and your colour palette, so what you're looking at is what works on you. Fewer wrong buys, and far less going back in a returns bag. HOW I KNOW WHAT SUITS YOU Two short quizzes, four minutes in total. A few questions about your hair, eyes and skin find your seasonal colour palette. A few about your frame find your body shape. That's all I need, and your result is free. YOUR COLOURS, EXPLAINED See the exact shades that make your colouring glow, and why. I set the rules from 10+ years of styling real people, and the app applies them to every piece in the shop, so nothing that suits you slips past. SAVE WHAT YOU LOVE Heart the pieces that speak to you and group them into capsules. Your palette, shape and favourites travel with you. THE STYLE HUB My editorial guides and "Ask Maria" answers, from the perfect white shirt to dressing for a big day. WANT ME THERE IN PERSON? I shop across London with you, in the real shops, for new mums, a new job, a wedding, or a wardrobe rethink. Book straight from the app. Featured on BBC Radio Oxford. Personal Stylist at Bloomberg TV. 1,000+ wardrobes transformed. Fewer, better pieces, chosen for you. Welcome to Capsule Chic Hub.
