I used to spend a LOT of time each day standing in front of my closet and wondering what to wear... I felt like I had some nice clothes, shoes and jewelry, but I could never seem to pull a legit outfit together. I was constantly envious of people that looked "put together". While venting about my closet, a friend recommended Liz. I was a little hesitant - a stylist is expensive, right? And don't they usually just help celebrities and other fancy people, rather than normal people like me? In any event, I decided to hire Liz to clean out my closet. Honestly, I was somewhat unprepared when she took *most* of my closet to consignment. However, Liz reminded me that my closet was in dire need of an update, explained that some basic items and a few nicer pieces would transform my look to be much more age appropriate and sophisticated, and assured me that the cost was much more reasonable than I had anticipated. Although still hesitant, I agreed to go shopping with her, and quite honestly, I couldn't be happier! Even though I typically hate shopping (being in stores for forever, trying things on and not knowing if they look good, spending money on items and not knowing how I plan to wear them, etc... ), shopping with Liz is an entirely different experience . You are in and out of a store in a flash, after trying on tons of clothes, and you know that what you are buying is good quality, will be incorporated into legit outfits and worn often! Since working with Liz, I am not stressed about getting dressed and do not feel overwhelmed when I look in my closet, as I only see clothes that I know I will wear, that I want to wear, that I know look good on me, and that I know will last for years. And the best part - Liz created style sheets for me with 20-25 outfits per season, detailing all items and accessories. They make getting dressed so easy, stress-free and fun! I finally feel like when I get dressed, I look "put together"! read more

Liz did wonders for my home and my wardrobe. 1.5 years ago I was frustrated. I had decorated my 1960s ranch style home with a mix of Mid Century modern, some industrial and vintage pieces that I loved, BUT it wasn't cohesive. I had scoured all the websites (Houzz, Dwell, Apt Therapy) and attempted to create the feel of what I knew I wanted on my own. However; the result was haphazard at best. Working with Liz was the best thing I could have done. She really is a genius when it comes to working with my base style and bringing everything into focus and making every piece pop. She is so quick too. By reorganizing, removing items that "cluttered" up the place and painting the walls a different color - my home was transformed. Everyone that comes to my house comments on how great it looks and how it represents "my style". And every day when I sit on my couch enjoying the look and feel of my home, I think to myself "why did I wait so long??". So here I am 1.5 years later. I knew what Liz was capable of....she had revamped the wardrobes of 2 of my friends, she did an amazing job on my home - why was I waiting to get her help on *my* wardrobe? I feel I gravitate to a certain style - slightly conservative, with a love of menswear style shoes(wingtips, loafers, loafers with tassels....you get the picture) , a little nerdy with a dash of vintage. BUT like my home - even tho I have some great pieces, I had been a stuck in a rut, making sure everything matched and the result was uninspired. Liz had a great process for the wardrobe revamp. Not one second was wasted. The process is as follows: 1. Check out my closet (20 minutes at most) 2. Shop for pieces that I was missing (I'm sure this varies by client, but we only shopped at 1 place for 1.5 hours - then we were done!) She worked well within my budget. 3. Order items from online. I wear size 5 in shoes, so it's impossible to find anything locally, she had me order several pairs of shoes with the idea I would only keep a few and send the rest back. 4. Once I had everything - she came over and had me try on various outfits(shoes included) and the ones that worked, she wrote down 5. Go through my closet and throw items not being used in the donate pile. It was a BIG pile...all those shoes from the 1990s = GONE. Items that didn't suite me anymore = GONE. 6. She met me at the tailor and directed sleeve length and hem length. I'm short 4'10" - so many things had to be altered. 7. 1 day later she emailed me a detailed sheet of 22 amazing outfits! 8. Learning from her expertise - speaking to how to lengthen my short stature, how to mix up unexpected pieces - I'm quite sure I can come up with many more variations of outfits. Closing thoughts: She quickly picked up on my nerdy slightly vintage style. Her process style isn't "cookie cutter" - it's based on YOU and only YOU. What works for me probably wouldn't work on anyone else. Every outfit pops and brings my style into focus. Several of the outfits are made up of only items that I already owned. Other outfits incorporated the keys pieces purchased during our shopping trip. While wearing my outfits, several people have asked me if I have lost weight. Nope, Liz just knows out to put things together to bring out your best. i thought it would be hard to let go of stuff, but when I saw how MANY great outfits I had to wear, I loaded up the donate pile and headed straight to the Goodwill. My closet is so streamlined and my dresser drawers so spacious. Why did I wait so long?? read more

Am I Liz's favorite client? She CAN'T make everybody feel this special... can she?! I'm hesitant to write about all the incredible details and extra time & care that Liz put into our appointments. I don't want her to get into trouble with other clients for treating me like her FAVORITE!! The process was new and intimidating at first. I was most concerned about our shopping budget AND whether her suggestions would be functional for my sporty, bike-commute-to-meetings lifestyle. I have no problem spending money on cycling gear or electronics but never really had a good sense of what to do when shopping for clothes! Holy Cats!! In a whirlwind of productivity Liz asked a few questions, had me order a few things online to try, came over to my house and zipped through my closet. We headed out to the most efficient (and successful) shopping trip ever! She grabbed pieces, I tried them on at top speed, then headed home with a pile of new options. One of the core values in the Zappos Book "Delivering Happiness" is "Delivering WOW Through Service." Liz's service is the picture of WOW. Seriously! After she assembled my new wardrobe she offered to meet me at Sephora to help pick out a few must-have items to finish off my outfits, brought me some little band-aids to keep in my wallet for shoe emergencies, and had so many outstanding suggestions to share. I'm so thankful to have some new options, list of outfits so I never have to think about what to wear, and all of the incredible little extra awesome touches she added to the experience. It was not nearly as terrifying as I imagined, very fun actually! I look forward to working together again and have been telling all of my friends about this terrific adventure. And, I am loving all the compliments I've been getting lately too! read more

Liz Finkelstein of Mile High Style is the complete package! We've had the honor of working side by side with her for several months on our new studio office. Thankfully she signed on at the beginning of the project and has worked tirelessly to transform our shell of an office into the studio we envisioned, plus some! She is a consummate professional working day in day out to ensure all details are covered. We provided her with an inspiration board on Pinterest; she went with it and completely exceeded all expectations. From suggesting to testing paint colors, providing recommendations on the build out, to completely helping us choose furniture, lighting and details (down to a vintage bar cart we found on Ebay), we are in awe! Liz is someone you want in your corner, whether for personal, home or business styling. She is tenacious about making sure her clients are 110% happy and goes above and beyond. Our new studio space is so much more than we could have even dreamed it to be because Liz saw our vision and completely elevated it. We love you Liz! read more

No more daily black pants! Liz helped me give away clothes that did not work anymore for me and we shopped for some new pieces to supplement what I already had. I love how easy it is to get dressed every morning now without thinking about what to wear and what not to wear thanks to the list that Liz made for me. It feels like a cloud has been lifted from my life ! It is fun to be with Liz... it is great to be with someone that has pride and passion in her profession! read more

Liz transformed my home from so-so to fabulous! I had been working with a furniture store designer and had purchased some lovely furniture pieces but the space was not coming together. Liz asked the right questions and really got a sense of what my husband and I envisioned for our home. Within a few short months the space was transformed. She re-purposed and rearranged pieces that we already owned and added those finishing touches that were so necessary. Our home is now stylish and chic but also comfortable for our children and inviting to guests. Liz is so dedicated to her clients. I often felt like I was her only one (even though I know she was quite busy!) She listens and works to enhance your style, not to impart her own. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

I have never been much of a 'Fashionista'. For as long as I can remember, I would rather spend my last dime on a computer or stereo than on a pair of shoes. Until recently, the nicest thing I had hanging in my closet was a pair of Joe's jeans that some friends practically forced me into buying. I'm not sure what happened, but one day I woke up & decided I needed a fashion upgrade. My closet was packed full of clothes but deciding what to wear was a painful ritual - lots of trying on, finding things didn't flatter or fit, trying something else on, still not liking how I looked. And when I thought I looked pretty good, seeing myself in pictures would tell a different story. I went into Chelsea one day, saw some information on Liz's services & decided to take the plunge. Probably one of the best decisions I have ever made. Liz came to my house, talked to me about my lifestyle & headed straight to my closet. I will admit that letting go of most of my clothes was a little painful. She told me what I should get rid of, what she would take to the consignment store for me and, most importantly, what I needed. I was a little tricky because I needed a casual wardrobe for wrangling my kids, a professional wardrobe for work and a fun, chic outfit for evenings on the town. I learned what shapes worked for my body, how to dress more age appropriately without looking 'old', how to find fashionable heels that I could stand in all day (challenging but possible) and how to put together a complete outfit. She didn't just tell me what to wear but WHY I should wear it. I'm not sure how she did it, but Liz really figured out my "style" and created a wardrobe that was uniquely me. I have watched her work with some of my friends & the closets she has created for each of us is completely unique. Our shopping trips are all business & I always come home with bags of fantastic outfits. Fast forward to today. My closet contains about half as many clothes as it used to yet I have triple the outfits. I feel like I can 'shop' my closet, mixing & matching, knowing that everything is going to fit & look great. I now understand the difference between 'quantity' and 'quality'. When I am lacking a little inspiration, I just refer to my awesome 3 page list of outfits that Liz made for me (and is constantly updating). I am emailed links to online clothes when Liz sees something that would work well for me. I get compliments on my appearance daily. I feel amazing. As a student in Liz's fashion school, I am probably only a sophomore or junior. This fashion stuff takes a little work but I am loving the challenge of learning new things. And having Liz around to help me when I need her (especially the emergency texts from dressing rooms) is such a great bonus. I cannot recommend Liz highly enough. As I said earlier, hiring her has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. read more

I was in my early thirties, recently had a child, and had nothing to wear. I had no time shop, didn't know what was in style, and therefore was intimidated to buy anything. I wanted to start building a wardrobe, not outfits off the mannequin that didn't go with other pieces in my closet because I didn't have the time or know where to shop anymore. A good friend introduced me to Liz and I started following her fabulous blog. Then, I mustered up the guts to have her into my closet. Hallelujah! Liz is the consummate professional and one of my favorite things about Liz is that she values time as much as I do. She efficiently worked her way through my belongings, including bags, jewelry, coats, etc. Within the same day she sent me links to get started shopping on line. We spent one hour shopping together in great local stores and we got so much accomplished. I used to spend weeks trying to find all those pieces and bringing things home and then returning them. It was so worth the money to have Liz guide me through all the crap to find things that fit, looked fabulous and worked together with other items, and were in my budget. To save the best for last, once this initial shopping was completed, Liz came back to my closet and put all these outfits together for me, head to toe, on a typed up list that I keep in my closet and look at. Genius! Getting dressed for dummies. read more

My house never seemed finished until I hired Liz at Mile High Style to help me complete a few of my rooms. With relatively minor changes and purchases and in little time, she changed my "it just doesn't feel right" house into a "there is something really special about your place" home. She has an incredible gift not only for design, but for figuring out exactly what people want and like and delivering it in a reasonable amount of time and for a reasonable amount of money. She is a true professional with an impeccable eye; she takes advantage of all the lagest technologies to make it easy and convenient for her clients; and she is fun and funny. What are you waiting for??? Go hire her now and be infinitely happier in your home! read more

As a work-from-home professional I was stuck in a rut wearing the same clothing day in and day out. Who would ever see me right? What I realized in working with Liz is that my attitude regarding clothing also affected my self-confidence. I was also a habitual "mannequin" shopper. If it looked great on the mannequin surely it would look great on me! This resulted in an endless cycle of orders and returns and a pile of clothing for donations. Liz listens to my concerns and comments and gently persuades me out of my comfort zone by selecting pieces I never would choose for myself based on self critical thoughts of "my arms are too big for that" or "that makes my butt look big". I love how quickly Liz works from the initial selection process to providing a list of wearable outfits. She has an amazing eye for style and beauty, chooses quality over quantity and isn't swayed by the latest fads. read more

I had a closet full of clothes that I didn't want to wear and felt overwhelmed thinking of going shopping to start fresh. I had just finished my training and was starting a new career as a professional and ready to look the part. As a short and youthful appearing person I have struggled with how to "shop" for my body. Pretty much every object in my closet was from a single outlet store and all in unflattering "petite" proportions. I was ready for a change. I found Liz via Google and have been unbelievably lucky to have found her. Without a doubt, I was nervous to show her my closet. I'd say that 95% of my original clothes are now being donated to Goodwill and I'm so happy to get rid of them. Even though I live two hours from Liz we were able to find an entire new wardrobe in a day of personal shopping and some additional emailing/online purchases. I have been mostly impressed with how Liz really seemed to quickly understand my personality and how I want to be perceived. All of my new outfits make me feel amazing; I have more self-confidence now than ever. It may seem silly and superficial - but I've been so surprised at the change in my own perception of myself. I've never been a dress or skirt kind of woman - in my profession, I wanted to be comfortable and quick. Since working with Liz, 75% of my work outfits are dresses or skirts and I've felt more professional than ever. My patients, my staff, my colleagues - all are raving about the changes. Overall, this was one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. It's been fun, educational, and I believe will be an enduring change for the better. read more

Liz was wonderful. She helped me immensely with purging my existing closet (ugh) and selecting wonderful new clothing. Over the course of a month, Liz sent me links of what to buy. Next she put complete outfits together (including jewelry and lip color). I've never had such amazing complete outfits. It's easy to dress now. I know what goes with what. I feel great! Thanks Liz! read more

I've been following Liz with Mile High Style on social media for a while now and I was always so impressed with her choices and her good eye. So I contacted Liz to style me even though I live across the country! Boy, was that a good decision! I am a busy, working mom and her expertise and assistance saved me so much time and headache. Liz asked me some questions via email; ie, my budget, favorite colors, size, date night or everyday wear, etc. That was it! Two days later I received my box of goodies, including some amazing accessories. She was spot on! The clothing is gorgeous! I got high quality clothing that I can wear for a long time and I never surfed the internet or left the comfort of my own home. In addition, Liz made suggestions of shoes and nail polish - she styled muliple outfits for me. There is no doubt in my mind that I will contact Mile High Style for my future shopping. It was almost too good to be true! Thanks, Liz! read more
