What to expect from a personal stylist?
A personal stylist helps you define your style and color palette, refine your wardrobe, and shop with purpose by curating looks that align with your body type, lifestyle, and goals. I guide clients through the decision-making, outfit styling and tailoring process eliminating the overwhelm of choosing what to wear or buy. With bi-coastal fashion expertise, I navigate the distinct styles, cultures, and climates of both the East and West Coasts to create a wardrobe that works wherever life takes you.
How does the process differ between working with a stylist virtual or in-person?
In-person styling gives me the ability to do the heavy lifting from hands-on closet edits to managing tailoring and fit adjustments, allowing for a more seamless experience. Virtual styling, while convenient for clients outside my area, requires more client involvement, especially with tasks like tailoring and managing logistics on their own. Virtual styling works best with capsule wardrobes or seasonal additions to an already curated wardrobe.
Can a personal stylist help me shop for the right fit?
I style both women and men and take an inclusive approach to sizing, with experience in specialty fits like petite, tall, and curvy. I focus on finding the right cuts, brands, and tailoring solutions to ensure every client looks and feels their best, no matter their size or shape.
How much do personal stylists charge?
I charge hourly for my styling services, customizing the process to each client’s specific needs and offer a special promotion for new clients who book a full package. My personal styling rates are separate from the wardrobe budget.
How does a seasonal color analysis work?
A seasonal color analysis is the contrast between your skin tone, eye and hair color.
You receive your most flattering colors to wear for clothing, jewelry and makeup.
What tailoring services does a personal stylist offer?
As a personal stylist with a background in fashion design, I offer expert tailoring guidance by identifying when a garment needs alterations and working closely with tailors I have personal relationships with to ensure the perfect fit. I streamline the entire process, so your clothes look custom-made and truly reflect your style.
How does your styling process differ between men and women?
My styling process for both men and women follows the same approach. Men generally require fewer hours dedicated to editing, shopping, and styling.
Where do you shop?
The most important considerations in choosing where to shop are your fit, your personal style, wardrobe styling needs, budget, and your location. I have long-standing relationships with department stores, boutiques, and online retailers and can pull on consignment from brands and designers which makes the shopping experience unique and intimate.
Do you offer travel packing services for business trips and vacations?
Yes, I offer travel packing services for both business trips and vacations, helping you curate versatile, stylish outfits through a shopping trip, styled outfit photos and a packed suitcase that suit your destination, itinerary, and personal style.
What should I wear if I am petite and curvy?
When I work with petite or curvy clients, I combine in-store shopping with strategic tailoring to ensure the best fit. I rely on a curated list of brands that cater well to petite proportions, and we customize pieces as needed for a polished, flattering look.
Do you offer personal styling services for couples or families?
Yes, I work with couples and families of all ages.
Do you offer red carpet and event styling?
Yes, I offer red carpet styling for award ceremonies, as well as event styling tailored to each client’s occasions and celebrations. Whether it’s a formal gala, wedding, milestone event, speaking engagement or public appearance, I ensure every look feels authentic to your event and personal style.
What are the benefits of shopping resale with a personal stylist?
Through my guidance, I help navigate shopping resale stores with confidence. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we will identify high-quality, affordable pieces that truly reflect your style. You receive pieces that are elevated, in your budget and actually work within your existing wardrobe. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to build a closet that feels unique and intentional.
Can I hire a Personal Stylist if I want to lose weight first?
Yes, I suggest we shop for a small capsule wardrobe that accommodates weight fluctuation allowing you to have stylish looks while reaching your goals.
