As I step into a new chapter of my life, I knew I wanted to simplify--less clutter, less excess,…read moreand only keep what truly works for me. I'm not a natural shopper, so I went looking for a personal stylist who could help guide me through that process, and it quickly became clear that Ashley Rhodes was the right choice. Ashley is incredibly grounded, down-to-earth, and easy to work with. I wasn't looking for a high-end, spend-a-ton-of-money experience--I needed someone who could meet me where I am and work within my budget. Her packages made that possible by allowing me to spread things out over time, which made the entire process feel manageable and stress-free. During our sessions, Ashley helped me go through my closet piece by piece, offering thoughtful insight while always listening to my feedback. She paid close attention to what felt right to me, took notes, and created a plan that truly reflects who I am and how I want to show up in this season of life. What stood out most to me was how she made me feel. At no point did I feel self-conscious, judged, or "not enough." She has a calm, accepting presence and meets you exactly where you are--which made the entire experience not just helpful, but genuinely enjoyable. I'm so grateful for Ashley and her expertise, and I'm excited for the next step of working with her to build a wardrobe that truly fits me.

Working with Ashley Rhodes has been a life-changing experience. I sought out Ashley because I no…read morelonger had any clothes that fit well, my wardrobe was pre-pandemic (or older) and I needed a refresh desperately. I hate shopping, I have no aesthetic eye (I work in STEM!), and I just get overwhelmed in the mall, which leads me to buy questionable clothes online. What attracted me to Ashley was her professional demeanor, professional approach to her business, timely response, experience dressing professional women (esp. middle aged women) and warm but no-nonsense efficiency. After completing a survey form and creating a Pinterest board of my favorite looks, she came to my house prepared for the Closet Sort. Closet Sort opened my eyes because Ashley explained WHY some of my items worked and others did not. She opened my eyes to consider not just color, but also cut and silhouette, texture and weight, and proportions when putting together a wardrobe. I learned that shoes are part of an outfit! Ashley provided specific tips for petite dressing too. Shopping Day at the Galleria was a dream come true. We visited five shops and I found dozens of items, in my size and colors, magically waiting for me in the dressing room! I completed all the purchases to change my life in just 3 hours. Style Day was when Ashley put it all together and gave me dozens of outfit options using foundational pieces and accessories. She took pictures of each outfit that I can access through an app on my phone. She also taught me how to style with my jewelry and clothes, and how to take care of my clothes. I had a unique, personalized stylist experience that cannot be replicated by following YouTube style tips or Instagram hacks. Before I felt that I had nothing to wear, and now, I don't have enough days to try all the different clothing combinations that I want to show off. If you are like how I was in a clothing funk with no way out, and you a busy person seeking extreme efficiency, Ashley Rhodes is the answer! I would definitely work with Ashley again for personal shopping and styling.

I have known Val for two years and have worked with her at the Upper West Side boutique, bocnyc,…read morewhere Val often brought her clients before her move to Houston. The first thing I noticed about Val is that she loves her job. She is very passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. As a personal stylist, Valerie is first and foremost an incredible listener. Her listening abilities allow her to get to know her clients deeply and quickly. Valerie gives her clients what they want, whether it be a full service wardrobe makeover, a few new additions to the closet, or a style education, Valerie handles it. Further, Valerie challenges her clients and gives them what they didn't know they needed. Maybe you never thought you could pull off that bright red and gold belt that you love, but Valerie can show you how to weave it into your wardrobe tastefully and effectively. After working with Val professionally, I can say certainly that any boutique in Houston would be lucky to have Val bring a client in for a shopping trip.

Clothes were laid out in a dressing room when we got to each store and she talked me through outfit ideas as I tried items on, it was super helpful. I am now able to put together outfits every morning quickly and without questioning whether it looks good or is work appropriate. Through the whole process, she has gave me a lot of style tips and tricks, that allowed me to learn to put together my own outfits and make smarter choices when buying new items. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make a wardrobe upgrade. Val makes a task that would usually be very daunting, simple and straightforward!

While I do feel like this is normal, it really was affecting my confidence with speaking because I am the owner of my company and would be speaking in a room full of people on how my company could help them. I needed my looks to reflect my work ethic and my company and what I wanted to project to others. Within meeting Kim, she was just so nice and had impressed me with doing research from my questionnaire . She showed me 3 looks she thought would work for me and why! Blew my mind that she was so prepared and the looks she showed me were exactly what I would want for myself! So I knew I wanted to work with her. From there, it's only gotten better. If your deciding to invest in yourself, use Kim- trust me you will not be disappointed she goes above and beyond!

She has a lot of connections with vendors and designers in the area. Kim managed to not only set up the fashion and coordinate all aspects of my shoot, but she managed to pull several strings and got me a complimentary hotel room, catering, and dessert to celebrate my birthday!!! I don't know how she did it, but she did and it really took my shoot to a higher level. I had such a blast. I will never forget it. I absolutely will hire her again soon to go through my closet LOL. Seriously... HIRE THIS WOMAN if you want a classy and upscale experience.

I was nervous that it would be difficult to do such complex alterations to a heavily beaded dress, but I am so in love with the end results! I highly recommend Maria for all your bridal needs!

I purchased $267.24 worth of items from Trend Mall, but I realized once I got back to my hotel that…read moreone of the most expensive items out of the 13 items that I purchased was ripped. The night that I purchased the items, the store was closing so I called the store as soon as I saw the rips to ensure that my long distance number would be on the store's call log when they opened the next day. Unfortunately they did not have an answering machine. I attempted to return the ripped dress the next day even though I'd detached the tags. I figured the number of items that I purchased, the amount of money that I had spent, the fact that I'd called as soon as I found out the dress was ripped, the fact that I was visiting from another state, and the fact that my daughter and I came back to purchase more items would have been enough to receive an exception to the return policy rule concerning detached tags. The manager, Pablo, was nasty, condescending, and kept a sh%t eating grin on his face when telling me that I could not receive an exchange. More importantly, I did not want a refund, but I wanted to exchange the rip dress for another dress. Although, I will never patronize this store again, I recommend that anyone purchasing items from this store to try on all items before purchase. Lastly, I would like to say that the cashiers that assist me the night that I purchased the items had great customer service etiquette. If only Fanny & Isaiah's manager, Pablo, had great customer service skills like they do, I'm sure the store would have a 5-star rating!

It's truly stunning and still shines like the day I picked it up. I've held on to some of my grandmothers pieces for 30 years, lived all over the country and waited until I moved back to Houston to bring these other rings to be resized so I can look down and remember my grandmother is still with me. There's 9000 jewelry stores in Houston, but if you want something custom made, and feel weary about who you can entrust a family heirloom to, bring it here. I only have three tokens of my grandmother left after all of these years and I've entrusted Sethi's with all of them. All the things that I would grab if my house were on fire, I've left with them, that means trust and a customer for life. I'm certainly not a high roller, I'm just your average nurse who works really hard and wants to treat myself every once in a while to something pretty, but I've always been welcomed like I'm the only person in the store when I come in. I think everyone has that experience here and why they have such loyal customers. I can't wait to see how they fixed up an 80 year old ring today. I think I might even treat myself to another piece of happiness when I get there. Update: came out better than I even imagined. And I treated myself to something I'll cherish forever.
