The Story

Hi, I'm Nic.

I've always loved style. Not shopping, but the craft of it. Putting outfits together, spotting what works, helping women feel instantly more pulled-together. I believe great style doesn't come from having more clothes. It comes from knowing how to use what you already own.

That's what I'd call conscious styling. Dressing with intention rather than impulse. Working with your body, your wardrobe, and your real life, not against them.

I don't live a wildly glamorous life. I'm a mum, my days are full, and my clothes need to suit my reality. I want outfits that are practical, comfortable and timeless, but I still want to feel elevated, even on busy, ordinary days.

That's exactly why I created Fantastic Elastic.

After years of styling myself and other women, I realised that so many outfits fail not because the clothes are wrong, but because the fit is off. A tuck in the wrong place. Too much fabric. No shape where you want it. Fantastic Elastic is a styling band that lets you create shape exactly where you want it. It gives you control over proportion, waist placement and silhouette, without adding bulk at the waistline.

You might notice skincare here too. I created TalloHouse, a natural skincare balm, myself. My approach is the same as it is with style: fewer things, better choices, solutions that actually work. I only introduce things I genuinely use, trust, and believe make life easier.

Conscious styling isn't about buying less for the sake of it. It's about buying better, wearing more of what you already have, and feeling good without the constant churn. That belief runs through everything I do, my styling sessions, my video tips, and Fantastic Elastic itself.

My mission is to help women love their everyday style, whatever their size and budget. Not by chasing trends, but by making small, deliberate shifts that add up over time.
