Sherene has worked on my wardrobe twice in the past three years. Both times I found her to be…read moreextremely helpful. She was great at listening to what I wanted, staying within my budget, and finding new styles that complimented my curvy physique. The first time I worked with Sherene, I was looking for "going out" clothes. I had a whole closet full of mom jeans and somewhat frumpy clothes, and Sherene identified new styles and looks that made me confident and looked fantastic. We spent a couple of hours going through my closet and identifying "base" items I could keep wearing, and then she went shopping and found me a ton of items to try on. I paid for only what I kept and for her styling fee. She found me some great looks and some great deals and stayed within my budget. I worked with Sherene again in January/February 2015, this time for professional clothes. I took a new job that has me selling to Wall Street, and I needed some stylish business wear that would travel well when I go to New York. She identified a couple of killer core items and found tons of dresses, skirts, accessories, and shoes to go with my new wardrobe. I now have about 2 weeks of new business separates that look great and are quite stylish. I would highly recommend Sherene. She's a great listener, and she's very pragmatic about staying in budget and recommending clothing that's flattering to your body and lifestyle. I know the clothes she picked for me were very different than the clothes SHE would want to wear -- she helped me find my own unique style rather than trying to fit me into her preferences. That's why I think she's brilliant!

She totally got my sense of style right away and was able to pick out beautiful pieces that I loved and were very flattering on me. I have always had a hard time picking out accessories to go with my outfits and she showed me pieces that looked so beautiful with my clothes. Sherene added really fun and wearable necklaces and bracelets to my collection and I absolutely love them all. Sherene is fantastic and i would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal stylist/fashion consultant. She knows all the trends and is so amazing to work with.

The closet redo was so helpful - she helped me get rid of about half my clothes, yet at the end of it I felt like I had MORE clothes, because she pulled the pieces together in surprising combinations to create fabulous outfits. I feel confident and professional, which is exactly how I want to start the work day. She knew exactly what items I should add to round out my wardrobe and made great recommendations while being respectful of my budget. Our shopping trip was targeted and low-pressure. We waltzed into the stores and the items she had pre-selected for me were already in the changing rooms. Who knows, she might even make a shopper out of me since I actually had a lot of fun. She's my go-to gal now for clothing decisions. I only wish I had figured out earlier in life how valuable this service would be.

She was honest and give me great feedback and I definitely felt like a good spring cleaning (what a great relief!!!!). I liked her sense of style and she gave me good inspiration for combinations of things I could come up with based on what I already had. We also identified some gaps, which we then worked on with Carrie. I just had so much fun shopping with Carrie! (And I hate shopping). It felt like shopping with my best friend , and a friend who has a good sense of style. She was respectful of my budget, areas of my body I was conscious of, and the things I was looking for in general. It was time so well spent and so worth every penny for busy professionals. Highly highly recommend!

You just won't find the same cool things any place else. Mira is delightful, the store is wonderful. Her heart and viewpoint on all things that matter, like where we are heading in 2017 is spot on. I'm spending my money HERE.

I was never one of those people who would look at fashion magazines or pay attention to fashion…read moretrends to be familiar enough with clothing to know what would look good on me. I envied my peers who seemed to always look put together and that had a seemingly endless wardrobe. I don't dislike shopping but with the advent of online shopping and the thousands upon thousands of choices we now have, it's gotten pretty overwhelming--especially because I'm one of those people who like to look at EVERYTHING a store offers before making my choice. You can imagine how much time this has cost me. As someone who absolutely hates wasting time, I've started to outsource a lot of the aspects of my life to actual experts (like a physical trainer, for example) who have spent years studying their area of expertise. I don't think the few hours I've spent looking on Pinterest really mean that I'm an expert at picking clothes for myself, so that's what spurred my decision to look for a wardrobe consultant. I chatted with a few other consultants before deciding to choose Leah both because of her stellar reviews as well as her focus on working with women. Working with Leah was super comfortable, and I never felt any pressure to purchase anything that I didn't feel amazing in. I felt as if I were shopping with a friend, but a friend who will very honestly tell you if something looks good or not. She also gave me a good tip for figuring out if I actually like something or not (watch your body language in it!). I honestly was a little skeptical of how many items I would actually end up liking as I feel like I'm quite picky, but I was pleasantly surprised to leave the session with over fifteen new pieces, each at fairly reasonable prices (she's good at finding things on sale!). It would have taken me years to find all the clothes that Leah found for me in one session, and the time savings was probably the most valuable thing for me (on top of all the new clothes that I'll probably wear for much longer than anything I've chosen for myself). If you think of this as an investment into your future wardrobe and you want the money you spend on your clothes to go much much further (AND save hours of shopping), this is totally worth it. I'm excited to continue working with her in the future and learn more about what works for me and continue upgrading my wardrobe until I look as stylish as her!

Leah is incredibly good at helping make a person look like --and maybe even become-- the best…read moreversion of themselves. My theory is that it is some kind of magic. The first neat trick Leah has is that she's able to make hard truths easy to hear. My guess is this is done through some combination of a genuine love for her fellow humans, a design-centric mind that can see a path beyond whatever mess is presented, and a true Southern charm that is dependent on the previous qualities mentioned. When I showed Leah my 15+ identical, well-worn dresses in different colors that I bought at a store called REI that you might be familiar with for their sporting equipment, she did not say, "Oh, honey." She said something more like, "REI is a great store, and they are great at a lot of things...but your day-to-day wardrobe? I just think you deserve nicer things." "I just think you deserve nicer things." And I'm paraphrasing that, but how devastatingly beautiful are those words, in this context? Well, the truth is that Leah was right: I deserved better than most of the clothes I owned...I just hadn't known that before she showed me how to be kinder to myself. We tossed out all the clothes that I bought two sizes too big to try to hide in, along with all 15+ of those identical, well-worn REI dresses. And then...there was nothing left in my closet.. So the next neat trick was: it's not just that Leah was right, but I managed to believe that she was right. I *did* deserve nicer things! And I couldn't wear those other things ever again, now that I knew that they weren't being very kind to me. And so, right there on the spot, perhaps emboldened, I managed to ask her to do a nice thing for me. "Leah, thank you so much for helping me with my closet, but there's not much left. Is there any way you could make the time to help me this afternoon?" And with that, she showed me that she thought I did deserve nice things through her actions in a pretty extreme way, by rearranging her whole day and helping me in my time of need. So all of that was very nice for my internal self, feelings blah blah blah, but for those of you looking for the other kind of magic, the kind you can see with your eyes -- some Cirque de Soleil meets Houdini visual trickery happened in that (well-curated, calm) dressing room. It was the best experience I've ever had in a store, and I don't even understand how she did it. But somehow, Leah curated a dressing room with a ton of clothes that fit me just right. From jeans to sweaters, all of these clothes that I didn't know how to wear with my (oh, have I not mentioned this yet? possibly slightly not-model proportioned) physique pretty much all looked great. I bought a lot of stuff, and it made me feel great. Even more magical? The receipts were cheaper than shopping my old ways, per item. The grand finale though is all about the audience. My husband loves everything, though I still have to admit that I think he's better than I could ever deserve. My coworkers are a tougher crowd, always trying to fix everything, it is the nature of our work, but even they were impressed: "You've lost weight. I can tell. Good job." (Hint: I did not actually lose weight.) "I love that dress, you're totally channeling Victoria Beckham." "Did you go shopping? You've looked so great this whole week!" "You look great today!" "Love your boots!" "Did you get taller?" Anyways, it is past my bedtime, but I wanted to share the details of my lovely, very nice experience...if you are reading this and feeling bummed whenever you look at your closet...you probably also deserve something a little bit nicer. And Leah can help you figure out what that is. :)

Before Caitling got to her magic, I had a wardrobe full of tech t-shirts and 2 jeans. While it was…read morefine for work, I always had trouble picking outfits before going out. I have always been a shabby shopper and had no sense of picking up good clothes for myself. After I contacted Caitlin, she had a look through my wardrobe and took a check of all the clothes I had, and then gave me an analysis of all the things I'll need to make it a complete wardrobe. I told her my requirements were basically clothes I'll look good in, while not making me look too formal (and not making me a tech outcast at work). She got to work straight away and then made a nice list of clothes we'll need to order with things such as shirts, jackets, pants, shoes etc.. I gave her a budget to work with and she made sure to never exceed those. She was on point in making sure that the things we order can be assembled together in great outfits, and that we can mix and match different clothes to get a better look. When all the clothes arrived, she had me try all of them and gave me some great advice on how I can combine them in certain ways. I was honestly blown away by how great all of those clothes looked and honestly could have never done so well myself. She also got me some really sweet deals from those companies so I ended up saving a lot just from that. All in all, Caitlin has a great fashion sense and she makes sure to combine all your needs while staying under your budget while still making sure to produce some incredible results. I would highly recommend her service to anyone looking to get some help in shopping. I had a great experience!

Prior to working with Caitlin, I had closets and drawers full of clothes (a lot of which I wasn't…read morewearing), I didn't know how to go through them and I felt like I didn't have any actual fashionable outfits to wear. My impression of the service is that Caitlin is very professional and well versed in all things fashion (she has a fashion background). Before, I was unable to put outfits together but Caitlin was very efficient in doing so. Caitlin's approach to working with me was that we initially consulted about what we were going to do, such as go through my drawer and closet and mix and match outfits. Then we first went through my clothes, and got rid of what didn't fit or wasn't stylish, and then we focused on putting outfits together, with a strong focus on having outfits that were interchangeable. Afterwards, I actually felt like I had clothes to wear, I was confident that when I got dressed I was putting on an outfit that was stylish and worked with my own personal style. Caitlin also very much helped me with organization, my clothes ended up being put back in places that they would be easier to find. Caitlin was very personalized and her passion shines through. It is noticeable that Caitlin genuinely loves helping others. Going through clothes can be a tedious chore, but with Caitlin it felt like we were accomplishing something and we had a lot of fun. My take away from our session is that I can make my existing wardrobe work, I feel confident when I'm going out and even dressing professionally. I felt like I came away with a process in mind of how I am going to organize my clothes and update my wardrobe in the future. I truly loved this service. Caitlin was compassionate and after we were finished I felt like I really accomplished something, and learned a better way to look at my wardrobe and fashion overall. I have never enjoyed going through my clothes but it was helpful to have another opinion from a fashion expert. I don't think I will ever go through my wardrobe alone again. I highly recommend Caitlin as a fashion expert and will definitely be going back for additional fashion consultation (and also for the organizational skills that I learned and will carry with me).

At first, they were very friendly and tried to set something up with me. It was just difficult because the first stylist that called me was not near me, and then the second one and I played phone tag for a bit. After trying a couple more times to get hold of the stylist recommended to me, I contacted the owner, Gil, trying to see if I could get somebody else. He said he would. Then then I didn't hear back. During that type, the voucher did expire. Once it did, any emails I sent were not answered, and Gilt couldn't do much because enough time had passed. Maybe they're helpful and do amazing audits, but I'll never know since my mom never received the service I paid for.

Their mission is to help you feel more confident and empowered by giving you access to professional stylists to help you take your style to the next level. I started toying with the idea of trying their services it maybe 3 months ago, but did my first shopping experience in December 2013. I've done a closet audit, makeup group shopping trip, a clothing shopping trip as well as a one hour virtual shopping session - all to help me get everything I needed to start my new job on the right foot. It all started by registering on the site - super easy. Then I was asked to like a few pictures on their style board - doing so helps them to figure out what kind of style I have and which of their stylists (from all types of backgrounds) might be a good fit. Two different stylists got in touch with me and I ended up choosing Nicole because I felt like her style was more where I saw myself going in the long run. You should know that they have a bunch of stylists with different hourly rates - from $55 to $120 per hour, based on their experience. Most personal stylists or shoppers are double that price! Anyway, we scheduled the closet audit quickly through the share some style site. She worked around my schedule, knowing that we needed to get a bunch of shopping done before I started my new job in two weeks. CLOSET AUDIT She came over to my house and we spent 2.5 hrs (everything is billed by the hour) going through my closet. Before we started, she took some time to get to know me - what stuff I like wearing, why, how I needed to get to work, etc. We went through EVERYTHING. Jewelry, pants, shirts, dresses...I was exhausted by the time it was done. And so was my closet! I ended up giving away 5 bags of clothes to goodwill...and ended up with maybe 5 outfits for my first week of work. She took the time to take pictures of each outfit (so I wouldn't forget) and explained why certain colors or cuts looked good vs bad on my body. I was so thankful when she was done - I had all my outfits figured out for my first week of work, along with a list of things I needed to buy to figure out the next week during our shopping trip. I felt ready to take on the world! MAKE UP SHOPPING The next step was make-up group shopping trip. We met the following Saturday at the Sephora near Powell MUNI and we went to town. There were two of us ($50 each for 2 hrs) and Nicole listened as we explained what we needed help finding, what our skin was like, what kinds of stuff we use now, etc. She helped each of us pick out foundation, blush, brushes, eye shadow and we went through 4-5 different stores finding the best stuff for each one of us. I was so impressed with her knowledge and professionalism - she was tactful and knew exactly how to tell us that we might need to try something new, but also knew exactly where to take us. She made what could have been an incredibly overwhelming experience SO MUCH BETTER. She took us to Brow Bar ($25) to get our eyebrows waxed and plucked.We ended up getting our makeup done at Bobbi Brown so we could learn how to do our own shadow, eye-liner etc. By the end of the day, I felt like I've never looked prettier. SHOPPING TRIP My friend left and then Nicole and I spent the rest of the afternoon finding everything from my list. We bought jeans, shirts, new boots, a new coat and I definitely spent a good amount of money. I appreciated that Nicole knew where all the sales were (I saved a bunch of money I otherwise wouldn't have) and was able to get all my essentials within the 2.5 hours. ONLINE SHOPPING A friend has a wedding coming up and I haven't had time to look for a bridesmaid's dress. My job in Sunnyvale makes it too hard to go shopping on weekdays and shopping is the last thing I want to do on the weekends. I got in touch with Nicole and paid for an hour of her time to source a bunch of dresses and shoes based on the bride's direction and my budget. Nicole got back to me within 2 days with 5 different dresses (the green was a hard color to find) and 5 shoe options that all fit within my budget. I ended up ordering two of her suggested dresses and finally settled on one that I wouldn't have found without her help. The shoes are on their way and I can't wait to try them! I'm really happy to have built this relationship with Nicole - I trust her judgement and feel like I've taken my style to a new level. Huge thanks to Nicole and Share Some Style for helping me get my closet, my confidence and my life in order!
