CLOSET CONSULTATION AND EDITING
After filling out a personal profile form that will be emailed to you, we will come and spend as much time as needed reviewing and editing your closet. We want to make your wardrobe practical for you so that you can confidently find and put together your outfits for whatever your day may require.

In addition to editing your current wardrobe, we will help each client formulate a list of any necessary pieces needed to help complete your wardrobe. We will also ensure your closet is organized to become user friendly by providing and recommending tools/storage solutions.

We can also put together a Look Book for you that we can add to as new pieces are added to your closet. This will be a quick reference guide to help you with ideas on how to mix and match pieces you have in your closet for any occasion. Accessorizing will be an important factor here as well since your looks will be customized by event from head to toe.

Upon editing your closet, we can also provide donation options for you or simply arrange for the items to be donated to your choice of charity.
PERSONAL SHOPPING / STYLING
We can shop with you or for you.

We prefer that you shop with us, especially as we begin working with you in order to help to identify your personal style, body type and any image issues you may have. We can help to find the best styles and silhouettes to suit you and help you to become more comfortable making choices on your own.

If you have time and schedule constraints, we can shop for you based on your needs for a specific event.
TRAVEL WARDROBE AND PACKING ASSISTANCE
Whether you are traveling for business or packing for a long vacation overseas, we can help maximize your wardrobe options in a minimal amount of space. Packing can be overwhelming and stressful. Let us help by pulling outfits for each day and evening of your trip as well as helping you pack the right way to take advantage of your suitcase space.
STYLING SEMINARS AND PARTIES
business:
We can come to your office and do a seminar on how to “dress for success” in the professional world. No one says you can’t be fashionable and still look professional. We can help with options for whatever your daily wardrobe challenges or questions may be.

parties:
We can come to your home and do a seminar for you and your friends. We will go over closet organization best practices as well as help you identify best styles and silhouettes for your body type and lifestyle.
MENS AND CHILDRENS SERVICES
Does your husband or significant other need some help in the fashion department? We can help him, too! We can do a his and hers closet consultation and create a list of needs for him as well.
We can base a shopping trip around his lifestyle, work needs and weekend needs.

Children can be difficult to shop for, especially as they get older and develop their own sense of style. We can assist when time or patience becomes an issue. We also know how quickly children grow and how easily they wear and tear on their clothing. We can help you get the looks for less!
