Give The Gift That Keeps On Giving:  A Uniquely Savvy Style Experience!

“I am interested in putting together a gift for my wife and am thinking of a style session of some type.  This could potentially include shopping, but also a review of her style since, of course, getting the tools to implement this on her own is important for the long run. She is in no way clueless or style-less, but could use your expertise to more clearly define her style and brand for the future….Interested in ideas you have along those lines and look forward to putting something together with you.  Sincerely,...

Wardrobe Update:  From Sporty to Dapper!

  This gent headed down from Toronto to update and refresh his work to weekend wardrobe.  Since we’ve worked together since 2011, it was pretty seamless as we’d already identified his color palette, best styles for his build, and personal style based on his personal brand (though this evolves as he does).  This time he enlisted me to pre-shop for him the day prior to his arrival.  Then, what’s not to love about having an independent Seattle style consultant strategize the shopping day, truth tell and edit the final...

Looking for a Party Dress?  Try the Fit and Flare in Lace!

When I clicked on InStyle’s LOOK OF THE DAY, I immediately fell in love with this fit and flare dress that Jessica Chastain was wearing!   Then I thought, wait a minute…I just wore a “version” of this concept the other day and loved it!  This style of dress is perfect as is, not much accessorizing necessary as you can see.  That said, you can also “choose your mood” and accessorize it to taste. While I have lace dresses with the nude underlay, I opted for this above-the-knee turquoise one and dressed it...

What Do You Value When Choosing A Personal Style or Brand Consultant?

  Feeling: Both JAZZED for her possibilities & honored to be chosen! Before working w/a new client I try to discern needs and if we’re a good fit through a series of questions and conversation. In a brief questionnaire I asked, “What do you value when choosing a personal style or personal brand consultant? (Results, competence, creativity, customer service, accountability, etc.)” She replied, “I value most highly results, and then the process to getting them that is based on trust and kindness and truth. I’m looking to...

Tis The Season for Package Theft, But Don’t Let a 5’2” Fashion Girl Mislead You!

P.S.  I was tailored-to-the-task, armored in leather. My kick ###?  It was on. In good ways and in bad, research indicates what you wear impacts your mindset/behavior. …And who you surround yourself with?  It matters too.   Don’t let a 5’2” fashion girl with bouncy curls mislead you.  Clearly, I’ve got what it takes….and I’m done messin’ around. Caught a man stealing boxes off my front porch…..Just had arrived home and remembered some packages were to arrive any day so I came up from the garage and went to the front...
