Where do I start! What an absolutely game changing experience. First off Lora is such a kind and…read morewarm person, she was so supportive and your own personal hype women throughout the experience. I did the Customize Styling Session. We spent the day together cleansing my closet of clothes to make room for a fresh and updated looks. She then setup my own personalized boutique and we tried on clothes, pairing things with my existing wardrobe. I was amazed at how well everything she brought fit and throughout the experience she helped me elevate each outfit with styling including the perfect shoes, jewelry, and belts to complete the looks. Her follow up afterwards was also so helpful, making sure any items that I needed I had the right links/sample boxes sent to fulfill those needs. If you ever feel like you need some help elevating your style, Lora and her service is the perfect answer. For the first time in a long time I am excited to go to my closet and am having fun putting together outfits. That is thanks to Lora and her support, education, and tools.

I actually love to shop and do a little too much of it, although in recent years find myself…read moreshopping more for my kids than myself. A few years ago we had my daughter's bat mitzvah and I found the most difficult task of the weekend was coordinating all the wardrobes for the entire family. And finding a dress for myself when the department stores carry so little these days was impossible. And now my son's is coming up and the thought of doing it all again was daunting! I decided what we needed was a personal stylist and I turned to Yelp for help. I came across these glowing reviews for Lora and emailed her right away. She wrote back within minutes and being someone who really values responsiveness I loved her immediately. We set up a call to go over all the details. Our initial call involved me telling her about all the weekend events, what the kids wanted to wear/not wear (my 14 year old daughter can be especially particular) and describing what the decor of the party would look like. I followed up with pictures of what we wore a few years ago to my daughter's bat mitzvah, as well as sample decor for my son's upcoming bar mitzvah. Lora sent me all the info for her pricing, which seemed fair and well worth it. To be fair I would probably spend more shipping back returns since many of these stores (ahem saks) don't do returns for free these days. We then set up a day for her to come style the entire family, but decided she would start with me...and then we could figure out everyone else's outfits around mine. Styling day arrived and Lora showed up with suitcases filled of beautiful clothes. She nicely kicked me out of my room and set them all up. There were a lot of clothes and accessories (shoes, jewelry, pocket squares, etc), but again this was for 3 events for a family of 5. She had some beautiful dresses for me, but there were 3 very clear winners: one for the friday night dinner, one for the service and another for the party. All were dresses I likely wouldn't have picked out myself and she helped me figure out what the service dress would look like once my seamstress was able to shorten it to the perfect length. We also decided the party dress would be better at midi length. While I took the longest, I was one of her easier clients because then she met my husband who hates nothing more than trying on clothes. Fortunately, she had it all laid out for him to make it as easy as possible, but he did his fair share of grunting as he tried on one outfit after another. And my daughter was even more difficult. The first party dress she tried on couldn't have been more perfect, but wasn't what she had in her mind originally so it took a few weeks of trying on more dresses (that I bought on my own) before she admitted that one of Lora's picks really was perfect. My boys were pretty easy, but are in major growth spurt mode so she needed to send clothes in different sizes. One of the best things about Lora is that she does all the returns for you, which saves a lot of time. Lora took pics of everything before she left and a week after sent me a lookbook for each outfit, which will be so helpful when I'm organizing everything for the big weekend. She also send me links for everything else we needed for the big day (ex: clutch for me, suits in bigger sizes for my boys, etc). And thanks to Lora I think every member of my family has outfits, shoes AND accessories for all 3 events that weekend. I can't wait to post pics of it all after the big weekend and I'm even more excited to do a everyday styling session with Lora after the bar mitzvah is done. She also does closet organization so can't wait to use her for that as well!

Listen, if you're thinking about working with Katie... do it RIGHT now. She's literally as good as…read moreit gets. Katie will help you find great clothes, but what she really will give you is CONFIDENCE.... the kind of confidence where everything else in your life (money, relationships, career, etc) starts improving because you FEEL like a boss. I was first referred to Katie from a friend. My friend and I decided to both work with Katie to help us boost our self-esteem & get ready for the next chapter of our lives. Since then, I've hired Katie 4 times... that's how much I love working with her. The first 2 times were to redesign my wardrobe. I travel a lot and I only wanted clothes I LOVED in my suitcase. The outfits she put together were so good that I ended up doing photo shoots in them lol. Katie gave me vocabulary to explain my personal style and now that I'm clear on it, I get non-stop compliments on how I look. The 3rd time was to help my boyfriend (a musician and high school teacher) redesign his look. Working with Katie has impacted him so profoundly. I see him making bold moves at work that he was fearful of before... all because he feels more confident. I just emailed Katie again to ask her to help me for a 4th time. I'm speaking at a conference next week, so I'll be working with her again to find my stage outfit! Anyway, if you're on the fence about working with Katie, jump over the fence immediately. Working with her is an amazing investment in yourself! - Tara Reed (tech entrepreneur)

I'll be calling her to return for the Fall. I'd give her more stars if I could.

I was worried that if I worked with a stylist I'd end up with a bunch of clothes that I didn't feel comfortable in but Michelle helped me pinpoint the right look for me, and my lifestyle. Working with Michelle was one of the best things I've ever done and I highly recommend her to all of my friends. And on top of all of this, Michelle is a ton of fun.

I loved the items Mallory picked out for me and was amazed by how well she knew me in the little time we spent together. I had so much fun trying on different outfits and trying items that I would never have picked for myself but ended up loving them! During this shopping experience, Mallory helped me identify my personal style, identify my body shape, how to dress for my body, how to wear my new clothes with confidence and much more! I've loved this experience so much that I can't stop sharing my story with friends and family, which is why I wanted to write this review to share it with readers here.

But my Madewell dresses from 2016 no longer really fit, and when I found myself wearing increasingly shapeless clothes to compensate, I knew it was time for professional help. Enter Alyssa, who could not have been more perfect. Alyssa picked beautiful clothes that help me feel like me, just more polished. It's an investment to buy a lot of clothes at once, but it was time, anyway, and attempting all this shopping myself would have been rough. Alyssa's time and talent were priceless. She was non-judgmental about my per-piece budget preferences and mindful of my request to shop local/women-owned where possible. And because she nailed the sizing (and is a lovely person), the in-home try-on session was fun and easy. It's so nice to let go of worn-out items and feel excited about getting dressed again. Thank you, Alyssa!

She showed up ready to tackle my 3 insanely large and insanely overcrowded closets, and we got straight down to business. She had mentioned to me before that this service is a minimum of four hours, which initially surprised me- but when we wrapped up my own closets, SIX hours later, I hugged her tight and praised her god given talent! Alyssa tackles this process in a very non-threatening way. One item at a time, she goes through your closets to determine: keep, toss, donate, or sell. I will admit, I was pretty open to the idea, so there were (I would guess) only 5 or so items I actually fought her on giving up. She was never once pushy, or judgmental about any of my clothes. On the items where she would say "Donate" and I would plead "But wait, I like that!" she immediately offered up two ideas: 1) "Try it on for me, please" and 2) "When was the last time you wore this?" Seems simple enough, but I'd say on all but one item we debated, after doing one of those two things, I was willing to toss it into the donate pile. I've been in the same apartment for 5 years, the same job for 7, and I hadn't even realized how my closets mirrored my life in that regard. I had shoes, clothes, interview outfits, coats, jackets, you name it, which were not only out of date, but they were in horrible shape. I now have two closets, completely cleaned out, and styled for the seasons. Cannot recommend her enough! She did an amazing job with this, and she has also helped me style outfits in the past- so any of her services would be something I would recommend to friends and family without a second thought.
