Hey there! Welcome to another instalment of the Foxy Stylist Spotlight. Today we’re getting up close and personal (not too personal, don’t worry!) with Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn is a bright and hilarious stylist here at Foxy headquarters, and she’s our resident English expat. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about property (thanks to her background in real estate), which makes her a winner with all of her clients. Kaitlyn’s also quite the storyteller, and often has the stylist room in stitches with reenactments from her day-to-day life. So Kaitlyn and I had a lovely, and very entertaining chat about her time here at Foxy. 

Without any further delay, let’s say hi to Kaitlyn!

Kaitlyn: I’ve been here for 9 months, as long as it takes to grow a baby! 

Clare: *Laughs* That’s a very true observation *both laugh more*

Kaitlyn: And I was in real estate before this. 

Clare: Oh that’s right! That makes a lot of sense as to why you have so much extra knowledge of the home selling process. I feel like I always learn something when I hear you talk to clients.

Kaitlyn: Being sore, but also so in awe that my job was to style homes!

Clare: Aw that’s so beautiful!

Kaitlyn: Probably, modern farmhouse. I love really light and soft colours. So, whites with a gentle, sort of soft pop of colour. And blend it in with natural tones like a nice wooden finish. Pretty much, I love when a space feels really relaxed and clean.

Kaitlyn: My favourite has to be this gold ball, it’s hardly ever in the warehouse, so I’m packing it for my install tomorrow right now!

Clare: *Laughs* same as Hayley’s favourite! She called it a gold spiky ball thing. *Laughs* 

Kaitlyn: *Laughs more* Oh did she choose that one too?! Well, I also love working with the resin flowers, they always make a beautiful statement.

Clare: Oh yeah, they are so pretty.

Have a read of Hayley’s stylist spotlight here!

Kaitlyn: There’s a pink king bed that I did, and I loved that it was light tones. I like pink, but I think I loved it so much because it was more beige and pink. It was really soft looking and pretty!

Kaitlyn: Either this living room from Clearwater, it was really grand and high end with a grand piano sitting in the corner and beautiful white couches. 

Clare: Oh yes! I remember that one, it was so stunning! 

Kaitlyn: Or there was this one at Clearview, I loved the leather couch and the way it worked with the black and gold.

Kaitlyn: I’d probably say bathroom, just because there’s not a lot to be done in there and I guess, it kind of feels like it speaks for itself. 

Clare: Oh that’s a new one! I know a lot of the girls have said studies, but personally I like styling them! (Not that I’m out there being a stylist, but at Foxy it’s a big team effort! So even though I’m a writer, I sometimes end up helping out the stylists!).

Kaitlyn: Same! You get all the cute little knick knacks and often some shelves to style.

Kaitlyn: Probably… turning up to my install address instead of the pack up address which was scheduled before the install. 

Clare: Oh no! *Laughs* So… what happened? 

Kaitlyn: I just put the wrong address in! Then I had to call the boys to let them know I was running late, *Laughs* so not too bad!

Kaitlyn: Getting good client feedback, especially when I get to do a walk through with them onsite and can see how excited they are about the styling.

Kaitlyn: *Laughs* This is probably not the funniest, but I was coming out of a property at an install and there’s this little, tiny white picket fence around this garden bed and I … 

Clare: Oh no… 

Kaitlyn: And I *Laughing uncontrollably* don’t worry, I missed it! But Cam was coming the opposite way, and I started to trip then caught myself and started running to avoid falling into the truck, and to try find my footing. I ran pretty much down the whole street because if I didn’t I would’ve fallen! *Continues laughing*

Kaitlyn: Probably spending time with my dog. 

Clare: Aw yes her name is Pippa isn’t it? 

Kaitlyn: Yes, she’s a sweetheart! Though she does get up to some mischief here and there. *Laughs*

Kaitlyn: I do love a good trip to the beach to get a bit brown and bronzed!
