It’s very important, when choosing a personal stylist to work with, to find out what kind of stylist they are and what types of services they offer so you know exactly how they can help you. Typically, there are 2 types of personal stylists: Transactional Stylists and Transformational Stylists. Let’s dive in: Transactional Styling: It’s exactly that – a transaction…. View Post
#1 You see clothing as FUNCTIONAL only and not an extension of your personality; therefore you don’t see the need to have a personal style. So you wear what fits or what is “good enough” and call it a day. #2 Your body has changed and you don’t think it deserves to be dressed well. #3 You don’t know what… View Post
When I get on a discovery call with a potential client who really wants to work with me and discover their personal style but who is also dealing with a body transition and wants to lose weight (but it might be taking longer than planned) they ask me if it’s worth it to buy new clothes now.

In the past I’ve had initial conversations with clients who say something like, “My husband thinks hiring a stylist is frivolous” or “I feel I should be able to get dressed on my own, I mean it shouldn’t be this hard, right?” Wrong. If you think you’re either born with style or you’re not, you’d be mistaken. That “effortless look”… View Post

You might find this surprising but I don’t buy a lot of clothes. Hear me out: You might think that as a personal stylist who is always at the mall I do a lot of shopping for myself but you’d be wrong ; ). Over the years I have carefully and thoughtfully curated a closet for myself that includes classic,… View Post
Do you know the saying, “I have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear?” I hear it all the time from my clients and I’m never surprised to find this out because most people only wear 20% of their clothing 80% of the time! If you’re reading this you might be able to relate. Why? There are many… View Post
I’ve offered Virtual Styling services for awhile now and have worked with many clients all over the world.

The first half of this post was published a couple of years ago. Now that the majority of you are working from home (if you’re lucky enough to still be working) in the time of COVID-19 I thought I’d delete my old post and rewrite it to include what to wear when you’re on a video conferencing call. Because, at… View Post
If you’ve ever considered hiring a Personal Stylist to help you with your wardrobe, you may have had some questions and/or hesitations because of what you may have “heard’ or “seen” on T.V., in movies, on social media, etc. about what it’s like to work with one. I thought I’d clear up a few misconceptions about Personal Stylists, below! #1… View Post

I don’t know about you, but I am SO ready to put away my parka, toque and snowboots for the season. If I never hear the words “polar vortex” again, I’d be totally fine with that. What helps me get through the Alberta cold snaps (besides looking at photos of sandy beaches in Costa Rica on my laptop) is knowing… View Post
