Having moved to a new city and starting a new job that wasn't corporate for the first time in my career, I needed some help with my newfound "clothing freedom" and New York swag. I found myself panicked and buying so many items of clothing that I didn't really love or want, but felt that I "needed" in the moment. It was a waste of energy, time, and money. So, I decided to get some help and I found Allie via Yelp. She had amazing reviews, so I reached out, and I am so happy I did! Allie was super responsive, supportive, and helped me navigate the different packages she had available on her website. I ended up selecting the "Building a Foundation" package and it was exactly what I needed. Allie listened to my clothing issues, had me create a style board on Pinterest to get an idea of what I liked or disliked, and hung out with me to review my closet and help create outfits, and shopped with me. She pushed me out of my comfort level, but took feedback and incorporated that into her recommendations if it was something I just knew I wouldn't want to wear. It was like hanging out with your best girlfriend, but she is super attentive, knows all the right shops and people, and gives direct feedback. Over the past year I have continued to work with her and gotten compliments on my new, elevated style and I feel extremely confident. I cannot recommend her enough! read more

Allie was fabulous. She's so organized and guided me through a wonderful process of editing my closet and making clothing "boards" of the looks that I thought worked for me and my lifestyle. We then identified gaps in my wardrobe and went shopping to fill them. Allie didn't try to sell me on anything. She took me to a wide variety of stores with varied prices. We even went to a vintage store and where we found a favorite jacket. Allie had pre-shopped the stores, so our shopping was easy and efficient. She pointed out clothing that she thought would meet my needs and style. She totally understood me and how I liked to dress. She encouraged me to try on some clothes I wouldn't have picked but ended up loving. Her choices made a big difference in adding more pizazz to my current wardrobe. I definitely plan on working with again in the Spring. read more

I just realized I have two Yelp accounts and wanted to combine my reviews in one place. I absolutely love working with Allie. I tend to dress on the safe side so I told her my goal was to be a more fun version of myself. I needed great work pieces but I didn't want them to be boring so I knew this would be a challenge. She was able to hone in on my own personal style, mix the funky pieces that I love, and help me translate the trends in a way that worked with my body type. I told her exactly what I was looking for and she hit the nail right on the head! Almost everything she picked for me was exactly what I wanted!! I really love that she is always looking out for me! She'd text me when she something she'd think I'd like...."I think you'll love this!" and tell me where to get it. She knows exactly what she is doing! She is able to find things that continue to push my style but still within my comfort zone. I love having her as my stylist and wardrobe consultant. read more

I'm a sleep deprived, pajama wearing, stay at home Mom... but after a closet audit/wardrobe consulting/styling with Allie... you wouldn't know it. I learned a lot from Allie and continue to use her tips and tricks to put together outfits as quickly and easily as the pajamas I call my 'mom uniform'. She also helped me eliminate pieces I don't need (including those hard-to-part-with pieces that you really want to toss but can't for some reason), find out what I am missing (which was almost everything basic) and work with what I've got (which I'm now rocking). read more

I hired Allie after completing a style course with another online stylist. Allie is the genuine article, she has an amazing knowledge of brands and an eye for the perfect pieces from each brand. I have a number of very specific stipulations for my clothing. Allie was able to find loads of items that met all of my criteria and were perfect for my style type. Allie is also extremely organized and focused. She has a wonderful process that makes putting a wardrobe together a breeze. Allie has really helped me to be able to get dressed effortlessly and look fabulously put together every day. It has been a joy working with her. read more

Allie is AMAZING! The outcome I was looking for was to be able to wake up every morning put on any of my clothes and look nonchalant super cool. She accomplished exactly that. I love all of my clothes and even say things like "This is perfect cardigan weather today" Thank you thank you thank you. I needed this. I look forward to continuing to work with her. :) read more

In May 2017, I decided to move to a new apartment in Manhattan, and hired Allie to decorate my new apartment, and assist in the moving process. Allie was invaluable from start to finish. Allie accompanied me on my apartment search, and helped me decide on an apartment. During the three months prior to my move, Allie and I developed a close working relationship. I gave Allie various feedback and suggestions, and she would go off and research various design options and solutions, and present them to me for approval. In addition, Allie came up with numerous creative ideas and suggestions of her own. I found her to be extremely organized, thorough, communicative and responsive. At all times, Allie was mindful of my budget, receptive to my feedback, while also bringing her own creativity and ideas to the process. I was able to give Allie a general sense of my tastes and needs, and Allie would return with various creative solutions and suggestions that were responsive to my requests, but also broadened my design horizons as well. During the months leading up to the move, Allie spent long hours thoroughly researching furniture options, sketching out various layouts for the apartment, and making numerous trips to various furniture stores - both with and without me. She provided invaluable guidance at every stage of the process. We agreed on a flat fee for the project - half paid prior to the moving day, and half paid on the day of the move. Despite this payment structure, Allie continued to work on the project with unflagging enthusiasm well after move-in day had come and gone. Allie put in many hours of hard work - and came up with some extremely creative solutions to my specific storage needs. She custom designed an Ikea wardrobe that I am extremely pleased with, creating an attractive storage solution for my bedroom. Everyone who has seen the wardrobe in person marvels at its creativity and attractiveness. She also custom designed additional storage units for my entryway in response to my specific requests. I know Allie spent many long hours putting this together - traveling out to Brooklyn, overseeing the installation etc. - and the end result is a tribute to all her hard work. Allie is dedicated and hardworking, and was there for me every step of the way throughout the moving process. She seamlessly handled numerous furtniture deliveries, and coordinated numerous logistical items associated with the move, and personally oversaw the set-up and placement of multiple items in the apartment. She was able to negotiate various trade discounts with many of the stores from which I purchased my furniture and accessories, resulting in significant cost savings. On the day of the move, she put in long hours - even going so far as to stay late on a weekend night to help me unpack. If you need help furnishing your apartment, and want someone extremely conscientious, meticulous, creative, friendly, reliable, always available, receptive to feeback and hard-working, definitely consider using Allie. read more

I was hesitant about hiring a personal stylist at first. I mean, shouldn't I be able to dress myself by now? Isn't this something all adults figure out on their own? But after 20 years of feeling insecure about how I dressed -- since elementary school, basically -- I decided to bite the bullet and see what a professional could do for me. I decided to view it as an investment. I chose Allie after some Googling, Yelping, and then sending out a few inquiry emails. She emailed me back immediately with a detailed explanation of her services and questions for me about what I was looking for. I decided to try her out after we had a call, and she laid out her philosophy for me. And I can say now that Allie is amazing! We had 1 wardrobe audit session (where I bagged half my wardrobe -- including way too many pieces I've had for a decade -- for Goodwill, and Allie taught me the basics of what worked on me and what didn't), 2 shopping sessions, and 1 styling session (where she helped me put outfits together from old and new items in my wardrobe) over the course of 2 months. It's been a little over a month since our last session, and I've been getting regular compliments on my outfits at work ever since! I really felt like I got a lot of bang for my buck. Allie is efficient and sticks to the essentials. She always seemed mindful of my budget and worked hard within that. I never once felt pressured or suckered into more or longer sessions (which was one of my concerns initially). Allie determined what the must-fill gaps in my wardrobe were and zeroed in on those. She visited all the stores ahead of time to pick out items for me to try when I got there. When we ended up with two items that served the same purpose, she'd say so and recommend the one I should return. She was also always mindful of the style I was striving for. I normally absolutely hate shopping, but this was the most efficient and pleasant shopping session I've ever had. Overall, it was a great experience. I feel a lot more confident about my wardrobe now that it's been vetted (and boy, did it need vetting) and now that I know that everything left actually fits me. I resurrected several pieces from my old wardrobe that I never used to know how to wear, because she showed me how. And I feel great about the new pieces, which are all versatile and help diversify my wardrobe. All in all, I'd definitely recommend Allie! read more

It was easy and fun to work with Allie. I needed everything from casual sweatshirts to work clothes to dresses and high heels. I hate shopping normally but Ali made it so that it was just really easy. She got to know my sense of style and then pulled a bunch of different options for me. She gently pushed me out of my comfort zone but in a way where I absolutely wear and love the clothes she suggested. I just never would have thought to pick them out myself. Her process is organized, she's super communicative and intuitive. I love the clothes we got and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs new outfits but feels a little daunted about where to begin. read more

I hired Allie to help me edit and spruce up my wardrobe and she did not disappoint! We did a wardrobe audit (pretty much everything I own other than t-shirts and pajamas) in one afternoon, and then spent the better part of a day shopping -- a combination of preselected items and things she found on the fly. Allie has a great eye, is respectful about budget and time on the clock, and is genuinely a pleasure to be around. For me, shopping is more enjoyable if I have a trusted second set of eyes to guide me, give me confidence that I am making smart investments and inspire me to step out of my comfort zone. If I could I would take her on every shopping trip with me -- and I would look better and feel more comfortable in my own clothes if I did! read more

I hired Allie for a long overdue closet audit and styling session. I was ready to update and cleanse my closet, having graduated from college a few years ago, but needed the push from someone with fresh eyes. Allie helped remove pieces from my closet that were out of style or no longer relevant to my lifestyle. I have a difficult time letting go, but she was patient and able to talk me through why certain pieces do not fit into my wardrobe anymore. Allie also provided me advice on what to do when shopping in the future, so that I would not get back to the point where I was with too much in my closet! I would highly recommend her service for anyone looking for a closet clean out and guidance in their wardrobe. read more

Allie has always had an instinct for deconstructing someone's style and putting it together again. She does this by having it make sense for me in a stylistic yet functional way that fits my lifestyle. I highly value and respect Allie's focus and expertise as I have enlisted countless times. read more

Allie Brandwein has an undeniable gift for styling and current fashion trends! As a long time client of hers, I have acquired a great deal of peace of mind knowing she is handling my looks for some of the most important moments in my life and career. She is punctual, dependable, and can work in several different price points depending on my needs. I have referred many friends and industry associates to Allie and will continue to do so as she is always my first choice when I want to look AMAZING! read more

Allie helped me so much!! I just really needed to know how to put together all the clothes I already have and she showed me what would work during our closet edit. Now I feel confident I can do it myself with the advice she gave me!! read more

Allie is a fantastic business partner. We've worked together for over 8 years, starting out as co-workers in corporate retail and now we launched Luxe Revolution, bringing the ultimate personal shopping experience directly to clients with our innovative and fun pop-up events. I value her creativity and passion for the business! read more

Allie is helpful, attentive and always personable. I worked with her for custom suiting for my wedding. It was easy and the service was great but above all she was honest with me. I felt comfortable going over options for the fit and desired tailoring and exploring all custom options when it came to menswear. The added bonus is now I know the joys of custom fit clothing and I can contact her to reorder as needed. I was skeptical about the service and the value of the product at first and now having gone through the process with Allie I am pleased I not only have someone I can continue to work with but someone I enjoy to lead me as I up my suiting game. read more

I hired Allie for a wardrobe audit and virtual shopping trip for Winter 2017. By meeting once, and then shopping together via her virtual shopping platform, Allie really spruced up my wardrobe with several thoughtful and affordable pieces that perfectly fit me. Allie is extremely talented and professional - she has a great eye, listens carefully, communicates clearly (e.g. timelines and style advice), and has a deep knowledge of clothing quality and fit, sustainable style, and the apparel market. She encourages you to express your own style - and make smart/affordable choices. It was so easy and fun to work with Allie - I look very forward to working with her on Spring/Summer 2018 shopping. read more

My criteria for giving testimonials is whether or not I would recommend the person to my closest personal friends. In this case the answer is absolutely. I have a career that involves television appearances and presentations and Allie was able to put together a 50+ page lookbook that I have inside my closet that helps me dress every single morning. More interesting, my wardrobe is almost 100% black and Allie was able to work with this limitation and developed a system to ensure that I could replicate each of the outfits without guessing what we put together. Allie is professional. She has a good sense of style but more importantly can adapt outfits to her clients personality and professional and personal needs. I can't recommend her more highly. read more

I absolutely love working with Allie. I tend to dress on the safe side so I told her my goal was to be a more fun version of myself. I needed great work pieces but I didn't want them to be boring so I knew this would be a challenge. She was able to hone in on my own personal style, mix the funky pieces that I love, and help me translate the trends in a way that worked with my body type. I told her exactly what I was looking for and she hit the nail right on the head! Almost everything she picked for me was exactly what I wanted!! I really love that she is always looking out for me! She'd text me when she something she'd think I'd like...."I think you'll love this!" and tell me where to get it. She knows exactly what she is doing! She is able to find things that continue to push my style but still within my comfort zone. I love having her as my stylist and wardrobe consultant. read more

The most overwhelming part for me was editing my closet. We got to work and it was great because Allie really helped me understand the process. She went through everything piece by piece and told me how to wear the things that we kept and why I should donate what I didn't keep. A decade of clothing took just a few hours! I was so impressed. Her personal style is different than mine but that didn't sway her opinion of what I should wear. Allie worked within my own personal style. She made the whole experience fun and I 100% would recommend working with her. read more

I really enjoyed working with Allie earlier this year as she accomplished a number of things: -- Figured out both classic staples and seasonal trends that were missing from my closet and how to wear them; -- Showed me how to wear pieces I really liked but didn't know how to style; -- Designed outfits from pieces I already had to create "new" looks (and even took photos to create a look book); -- Helped me discard the pieces that I wasn't going to/shouldn't wear. Not only was Allie extremely thorough, but she also was efficient. I couldn't believe how much we accomplished in 2-3 hours. More than that, she gave me the confidence to experiment and try new looks. I would definitely work with her again, probably once or twice a year to refresh my closet and revisit my go-to looks. read more

When I turned 50, I decided my wardrobe needed a complete overhaul and I am so glad I chose Allie to go through this process with. Her low key, kind and professional manner ensured she had my complete confidence, which was absolutely necessary as she proceeded to work her way through my ancient closet of clothes. She did a great job of persuading me that some pieces needed to go, without making me feel self-conscious of some of my less sensible purchases. She was mindful of budget but also encouraged me to invest in a few pieces which I haven't regretted for a moment. And I loved that everything I brought feels age appropriate but also stylish and different. After years of agonizing over finding something appropriate to wear for various different occasions, I love the fact that I can go to my closet and always have something to wear that I feel confident in, down to the underwear! At least for winter .. I need Allie back for my summer wardrobe! read more

Allie is fantastic. She is hardworking, talented and focused -- but also funny, kind, relaxed and generally a pleasure to spend time with. She has an amazing eye and an infectious joy for fashion. I hired her to help me take my professional wardrobe up a notch, and she's been great. We started with a thorough closet examination, which Allie somehow managed to make fun even though I was dreading trying on all my clothes in front of a complete stranger. Since then we've done two shopping trips together with another scheduled one coming up. Each time, she is prepared and thorough, and she won't rest until she's found me everything I need -- from a perfect pencil skirt to a blouse that looks great untucked to a beautiful coat that is perfect for fall weather. I highly recommend Allie! She is creative, dedicated, and VERY good at what she does. read more

Allie is amazing! If I were a man, I'd marry her, but since I am a woman, I reached out to Allie for help with my style. Allie has an incredible taste of style and is able to find looks/outfits that not only complement an individual, but also are trendy (this doesn't mean, however, that you'd need to go to a store every month!). Allie is very thorough and attentive in her approach. I absolutely LOVE the comprehensive Lookbook she has sent me after our closet review session - the lookbook serves me as guide for how/what to wear (it includes the photos from my closet edit session with Allie), provides individualized styling tips and ideas, and lists the pieces I should get to complement what I have. After working with Allie, I've been receiving compliments on my new looks that include my old / existing items, and I look forward to a shopping trip with Allie! I highly recommend working with Allie to anyone who'd like to improve their style, understand more about styling/matching different pieces, and become happier (yes, looking great makes us happier and more confident)! read more

Allie is a wardrobe super hero. She is a hard worker, professional, great sense of style but also considerate of her clients style and approach. I was lucky to meet Allie and she focused first on culling items not worn for one reason or another and then organizing and curating my core wardrobe. She appreciates and considers my work environment and my personal style in her approach. She is very easy to be around and I would definitely hire her again for a seasonal check and refresh. read more

Allie was a huge help in organizing my closet. I am preparing for a cross country move and therefore it was a perfect time to assess what should stay in my closet and what should go. Allie was so friendly, professional and had a great eye for fashion. Not only did we clear out all my closets, she also helped me see new outfit combinations with the pieces we kept. I would absolutely recommend her. read more

When I hired Allie I was stuck in a major fashion rut. She was extremely helpful in all aspects of revamping my current wardrobe and buying new pieces that fit my personality and budget. I couldn't have done it without her. She is incredibly talented and so much fun to work with. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I've had three excellent experiences working with Allie. I do not enjoy shopping, but I love the idea of opening my closet and liking & wearing everything in it. I hadn't worked with a personal shopper before & found Allie on yelp. Our first meeting was at my apartment. She assessed what I had, helped me get rid of items that were long overdue to leave & showed me new ways to style current pieces. She also kept tabs on items to buy. I've now shopped with her twice - once last fall and one this spring - and both experiences have been wonderful. The first time we met Allie had pre-shopped a large department store & had a rack of clothing waiting in the dressing room when I arrived. The second time we met was in soho & she had similarly mapped out stores in advance and had ideas and pieces in mind from a list of items I told her i was looking for. She took the lengthy time, guess work & repetitive ideas out of the equation and made the experience efficient and fun. She isn't pushy, can work with any budget and is patient and helpful. I highly recommend Allie and look forward to working with her again! read more
