Hi I'm Gabby
Style Story by Gabrielle is a personal styling and wellness studio centred around the Permission to Pause philosophy — a gentler approach to style, beauty and self-reconnection. Through intentional styling experiences, wellness rituals and workshops, Gabrielle helps women reconnect with themselves during times of change and life transitions, creating space for more awareness, comfort, confidence and self-expression.
My mission is to help women reconnect with themselves through style, beauty and intentional experiences during times of change and life transitions. Through the Permission to Pause philosophy, I create gentle, supportive spaces that encourage women to slow down, reconnect with how they feel, and express themselves with more awareness, comfort and confidence.
Working as both a fashion stylist and beauty therapist — through editorial styling, personal styling and one-on-one client experiences — I began noticing something deeper beneath the surface of style and beauty.
Many women weren’t simply struggling with what to wear — they were feeling disconnected from themselves.
Life transitions, shifting identities, exhaustion and the pace of modern life were impacting the way they felt in their bodies, their confidence and their self-expression. As Style Story by Gabrielle evolved, so did my understanding of style itself. Over time, I began seeing style not simply as fashion, but as a form of wellness and self-reconnection.
The Permission to Pause philosophy evolved naturally through this journey — creating a gentler, more intentional approach to style, beauty and self-care that encourages women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and feel more aligned in how they dress, care for themselves, and move through life.

I’m an ASI-trained stylist from the Australian Style Institute, dedicated to helping you express your unique style and story. With 30 years of experience as an educator and 21 years in fashion, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my work.
My approach is intuitive, encouraging styling through stillness, awareness and intentional dressing. I believe that style is more than just clothing; it’s an embodiment of who you are. Our sessions will be fun, transformative, and liberating. I aim to empower you to feel confident in a style that aligns with your identity and reconnects with who you are today.
My expertise
Permission to Pause...
The Permission to Pause Method
I created this method to allow women to use a simple ritual to reconnect with themself before getting dressed. Focussing on three imperative questions on how you want to feel, what feels right on your body and who you want to be today, allows you to return to yourself through stillness, awareness and intention. Using this method, getting dressed becomes a moment of reconnection with your identity and gives you clarity and permission to be yourself. This transformative method empowers you to step into your day with confidence and be the magnetic, magical person that you've always been.
I specialise in...
Menopausal Styling
Navigating the changes that come with Menopause can be challenging, especially when it comes to style. I see getting dressed as a moment of reconnection. I specialise in creating outfits that not only accommodate the physical changes Menopause brings, but also reflect who you are now, reconnecting with your identity. Together, we’ll explore fabrics, silhouettes and styles that provide comfort and joy, while making you feel like yourself again.
Colour Therapy (Colour Chakras)
Colour has a profound impact on our emotions and energy. Through colour therapy, I help you understand how different hues can enhance your mood and self-expression. We’ll explore your personal colour palette, aligning it with your chakras to promote balance and harmony in your wardrobe. This approach not only elevates your style but also nurtures your well-being.
Intuitive Styling
My intuitive styling technique focuses on tapping into your inner self to curate a wardrobe that feels authentically you. During our sessions, we'll uncover your preferences and aspirations, allowing us to create looks that resonate deeply with your personality. This bespoke approach ensures that every piece we select tells your unique story and brings you joy.
