Decided to book an initial color analysis and closet cleanse to see where that goes. Too many light bulb moments during that experience to not hire Sarah for more. She is the real deal. She has an eye that pointed out so many details that now I can't unsee. It all makes sense now. - Why did I not wear that tweed jacket even though I loved the look of it on the hanger? Needed to be hemmed as a crop fit, hitting just right for my waist. - How did I not have xyz colored pieces in my wardrobe? I know how to make my features pop now. Can't believe I used to wear the color grey. - Does an "average" body shape person really have wardrobe do's and dont's? Apparently so! Discovered my body shape and how to best style it. Asymmetrical tops, midi dresses, waist, cut, inseam specs and more. Details. I literally feel a weight lifted. My closet no longer contains useless pieces. My shopping is now strategic and feels much more rewarding as we fill wardrobe gaps. Finally, fully styled looks that align with my lifestyle.

The other day when I was lunching at Everest Curry House (amazing Nepalese food!!), I decided this is the day I need to go check out Sustainable Exchange. This store is all the good feels. Many natural materials and fabrics, beautiful artisan style soaps sans heavy perfumes or dyes, scrubby brushes for your dishes, face, and body, and just a plethora of great things for your home, or as gifts. I bought two long handled brushes for body scrubbing, some incense, a mushroom cocoa packet, and a face scrubber. And, the gentleman working (maybe the owner?) was so friendly and personable. Will definitely be frequenting this shop!

I love that they carry Griffin Remedy products. An all-organic SF-founded company that makes beautiful bath products to fill all my glass jars? Awesome. Their formulations are simply the best. Sustainable Exchange also has an excellent selection of zero waste cleaning tools and an array of cute gifts and local artisanal items. Browsing is like a little adventure because there are so many things to see arranged all over the store. Do you need lip balm? Food? Kaftans? Coconut fibre sponges? Flouride-free toothpaste? Dish soap? Chocolate? Bar soap? Honey? Marin themed things? Essential oils? Honestly if you need something random, it's worth checking to see whether Sustainable Exchange carries the zero waste organic version of it!

Kathryn was amazing! We did a virtual closet audit - and we literally went shopping in my closet. I…read morestarted the session thinking I had nothing to wear - and that I needed to completely start over. She came up with about thirty fully styled outfits. I think accessories make an outfit but am always so intimidated by them. Kathryn suggested the missing pieces that would tie the outfits together- belts, shoes, and jewelry. Although the session was an investment, in the end it saved me a lot of money as I now am making use of what I have. She knew the shapes of clothes that would both compliment my body type but also each other (combos of shirts/skirts or shirts/pants). She was attentive to my lifestyle needs - and created appropriate outfits for different occasions. I highly recommend K Griffin Style!!!

Working with Kathryn has completely changed the way I think about fashion, shopping, and personal…read morestyle. I purchased three services: custom color mapping, face and feature analysis, and dress for body type - every single one of which exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was how personalized everything was. She didn't simply assign me to a seasonal color palette or follow a generic formula. She carefully analyzed my unique features and created recommendations specifically for me. The color analysis was incredibly eye-opening. Before working with her, I had no idea what my undertone was or which colors truly complemented me. Now I finally understand why certain colors never looked right on me and which ones make me look my best. The face and feature analysis was equally detailed. She took multiple photos and carefully evaluated my features instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. The PDF she provided was incredibly comprehensive, covering flattering glasses, hairstyles, jewelry, necklines, patterns near the face, and even tips on posing for photos based on my facial features. I especially appreciated that she pointed out my strongest features and explained how to highlight them with the right accessories and styling choices. The body type analysis was much more detailed than I expected. Rather than simply assigning me a body type, she considered my individual proportions and created recommendations tailored specifically to me. The PDF included guidance for tops, pants, skirts, shorts, necklines, silhouettes, and many other clothing details, making it easy to understand what enhances my shape and creates the most balanced look. The biggest difference has been the confidence I've gained. Before working with her, I often bought clothes and makeup simply because they were trendy or on sale, without knowing whether they actually suited me. Looking back, I realized that many of those purchases weren't the best fit for my coloring, face shape, or proportions. Since then, I've gradually replaced them with pieces that truly complement me, and the difference has been incredible. One of the most valuable outcomes is that shopping has become so much easier and more enjoyable. Whether I'm shopping in a department store or browsing online, I can quickly eliminate items that don't suit my colors, proportions, or style and focus only on pieces that truly work for me. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by endless options, I shop with confidence and make much better decisions. This experience has genuinely transformed the way I shop and dress. I now have a much clearer understanding of what works for me and why, and I feel far more confident in my choices. If you're looking for personalized styling that goes far beyond generic advice, I highly recommend working with her. The level of detail, care, and customization Kathryn puts into her work is truly exceptional.

Even though I actually enjoy cleaning out my closet, it was so helpful to have Alena there to help me decide what to let go of. Having another set of professional eyes made all the difference. For the shopping trip at Stanford, she pre-pulled pieces ahead of time, which made everything effortless and she found so many perfect items. The look session was an absolute blast. I was amazed by how many outfits she created using different combinations of pieces. You could tell she had already envisioned how it would all come together, but seeing her mix and match everything with such skill including accessories like belts, jewelry, and shoes was impressive. I highly recommend Alena and will definitely work with her again in the near future.

From the initial consultation, I knew that he would challenge me to meet my goals of learning more about my style. Through this process, I learned to choose clothes that would complement my body type, expanded my wardrobe so that it was functional for both work and personal, and had fun during the process. I have received so many compliments on the new pieces that I added. And throughout the whole process, I felt supported and now feel more confident in choosing outfits that match my style.

I had tried multiple brands that offer monthly styling boxes, but I didn't like the styles or quality each time. Paul came in and audited my wardrobe and got to know my preferences and clothing needs, then he used his extensive knowledge and did extra research to find me brands and items that he felt I would love... and I did love them! I was thrilled to find eco-conscious brands that fit my petite frame (very hard to find my size), and Paul solved so many of my clothing issues with insightful suggestions on how to wear specific pieces in a more stylish manner. Also, he made sure my current pieces matched well with any new items, especially since I wanted to keep everything in rotation. My experience was beyond my expectations because Paul is deeply knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, and because I felt he really LISTENED to what I wanted while gently nudging me to expand/improve my style. I look forward to working with him again in the late spring so I can refresh my summer wardrobe!

I am now able to put together outfits in a way I wasn't comfortable doing before and I feel so put together. I'm so excited about what Rachel has taught me that I've recommended her to all my girl friends and even to my office to do a presentation on Dressing for Success! She's made me feel like my clothes now reflect the brand I want.

She knows all the right questions to ask in order to fully understand my personality, style, and what I envisioned for the look. Let me tell you, she nailed it! On the day of the fitting, it was clear that she took a lot of time before we met to make it a great experience for me. Not only did she research styles that she suggested for me, she also arranged for the ones that she liked to be in stock in my size for the day of the fittings. All of the dresses she chose for me were waiting in a fitting room so that we could quickly go in try on the dresses. So quick and easy! Rachel blew me away with every single option that that was presented. She really paid attention and understood what styles worked best with my coloring and body type. In the end, the winning dress was one that I would have never pick up off a rack myself, and it was absolutely stunning. I got so many compliments on her dress and more importantly I felt amazing in the dress. I highly recommend Rachel for any styling needs, she is truly gifted!

The owners of this shop go above and beyond for their customers. I've truly never known a shop like…read morethis one, and I have so much gratitude. We came in to this shop some months ago looking for a very specific incense, which is difficult (if not impossible) to find here in the US. The shop owner said she would be travelling to Nepal in a few months and would look for this particular incense at the grand market (she indicated that every kind of incense could be found there). I left my phone number with her and, quite frankly, did not expect to hear back. I WAS SO WRONG! She called me back exactly as she had promised upon returning to the US to let me know that she found the incense and had 10 boxes set aside for me. I was so blown away that she remembered and thought to call me. Of course, I bought all her stock in this incense because who knows when we would ever find it again! In case you're wondering, the incense is called Aparajita. It is the scent that the Beatles burned during their recording sessions beginning with the Revolver album. And, no, I don't believe they have any left, because we cleaned them out. :) LOL Also, I learned that in some cases the FDA won't sign off on some imports due to ingredients that have not been approved. I can only speculate why this incense is so hard to find here, but I do wonder if it has something to do with that. Regardless, as Beatles fans and as we carefully attempt to recreate "the vibe" of that recording sesh, we are eternally grateful that this shop assisted us with this search. A million thank yous!!!
