Personal Shopping!

Are you having a hard time finding the style that work best for you? Are you overwhelmed with the assortment of trends, and how quickly they change? Would you like to have someone shop with you (in your closet and abroad) who will give you honest opinions and advice for improving your look?

I’m a retail therapist, and I’m here to help!

Equipped with a Texas license in counseling, and years of retail experience, I’m ready to help you bridge the gap between your mind and reality when it comes to how you want to look.

Starter Kit – You and I meet in your closet. You tell me what you wear and what you haven’t touched in five years, but can’t seem to throw out. I tell you what you should and shouldn’t be wearing from your closet, what shapes, styles, and colors are most complementary on you. You let me know whether or not you want to see me again. $75 (1 hour increments)

Personal Shopping – The basics. Includes shopping for events, interviews, work, day-to-day, vacation, weekends, etc. Think of me as your incredibly honest friend, but with more style. $75/$50 (1^st 2 hours/hourly thereafter)

Re-do! – Are you a jeans and tshirt kind of person who needs a little polishing? Did you just graduate and need help dressing for the corporate world? From consult to shopping, I’ll help you get from where you are to where you want to be. $125 (consult + 1^st shopping)

SOS – For those who need to purge their wardrobes, need a total makeover, don’t know what treasures they have, and want someone else to make the major decisions. My only requirement? Donate whatever you don’t keep. $100 (2 hours)

The Organizer – You know you had that one scarf that looked fantastic? And those shoes that looked perfect with that pencil skirt? But you can’t find it? I’ll get your closet organized in no time—by season, by genre, by whatever makes most sense to you. $150 (3 hours)

Style File – Let’s digitally archive your looks (and hard work!) to give you fingertip access to your wardrobe and all its potential. Notes will be created to give you alternative accessories, shoes, etc. so you won’t feel stuck in a rut. Time consuming to create? Sure. Time saving when you look in your closet and see nothing to wear? Definitely. $250 (start to finish)

This season's hottest color

...I'm sure you have noticed, is aubergine.
There are plenty of ways you can incorporate this deep and delightful shade of purple in your wardrobe--I've seen tshirts, tanks, pants, tops, headbands, jewelry, etc...
When choosing a shade of amethyst, remember that the best colors are always the most saturated. Keep in mind what colors normally are most complimentary for your skin (blues, reds, yellows) because you can always find a tonal version of purple that is based on the best hue for you.
If you need an example on how to do plum the right way, take note from Carolina Herrera.

Carolina Herrera, Fall 2008

(This is a silk dress with a built-in bodice, with pockets. I love a pocket on a dress!)
CH has a beautiful boutique located in Highland Park Village (girls take note: they have a full couture bridal salon in the store). Having spent several hours there, I can personally attest that the staff is knowledgeable, not pushy, and very complementary to their environment. They know everything that is important to know when working in womens fashion, including how we need Manolo Blahniks to most accurately get a picture of what we will look like while wearing the beautiful CH cocktail dress,

and that we need time to think about such a large purchase ($2990 to be exact).

Thanks to the Michael and Javier at Carolina Herrera!
