Bubbly mum-of-two Charlie Collins has always followed fashion and now she's helping others to take a leaf out of her book.

Charlie works as a teaching asistant but on her day off, she can be found at Alsager Civic displaying her latest finds with CLC Styling.

The fun-loving mum from Barley Croft, Alsager spends part of her weekends visiting wholesalers in Manchester and has set up a Tik Tok account and a Facebook page to sell her clothing.

"I never buy anything I wouldn't wear myself," said Charlie mum to Jayden (7) and Archie (3). "I've always followed style. "I am a fan of Adam Frisby who founded his company in his bedroom with just £1,000."
