Hi all. First time I've posted and thought I should as someone has kindly shared the links to my Body Shape Style Bibles.
I also want to state I hate drama and that's the reason I have been silent until now but do feel I should share a truth.
A few years back (maybe 5) Susie and I were newish to Instagram and growing following. As I don't believe in competition and feel customers buy from stylists inparticularly that they resonate with I reached out to Susie to see how she was finding business and she seemed busy....we messaged and voice noted quite alot as virtual peers I guess...even planning to meet up.
She then went quiet on me....and over time she got pally with TOMM and Daily Mail contacts and her following rocketed. I stayed in my lane, working hard and growing my business and following but over time admit to getting tired of the IG stories and so unfollowed her.
Over time I came across various other clients and stylists who'd had bad experiences of her.
Only last month a client if her came to me for a virtual wardrobe edit and I thought....oooh I'll have a look what she's up to on Instagram (as ya do)... 'user not found'. I was blocked....searched for Sarah...also blocked by Sarah....Karina and Emily. Why??? No idea.
Cheers Kim for not following suit.
Having read every post on here and the previous thread.... I'm wondering...did 'someone' buy a Style Bible and nab my images / wording / advice and tips and that's why you can't share anywhere??
Or was it because Susie was about to Launch an Online Style Membership (almost identical to mine that's I've ran successfully for 3 years)?
Who knows. I never confronted being blocked as I know Susie can be feisty and to be honest I hate confrontation, drama or bitchiness but having now seen all of this SBS can of worms....I feel I can be honest here.
Susie if you are reading this. I was only ever decent to you, even recommending you (as you know) to my southern clients. I do hope you get through this and you're ok but blocking me hurt my feelings and left me feeling I'd done something wrong.
Seems you blocked lots of other stylists too though.
For anyone that wants personal styling help, I got you
I'm in the Sisterhood group and also (Ironically) have my own free group Style Sisters too.
Be interesting to see if any of you that buy a book spot wording from your analysis' pdfs as my books are copyrighted.
Anyway.....sorry for war and peace.
