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!

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 had a really great experience with Hanna. I never used a stylist before so was not quite sure how…read moreit would work. She understood my first timer concerns and did a mock up of the types of clothes she thought I would like, and when I reluctantly told her it wasn't quite my style, she re-did it willingly - and this time she was spot on. The closet clean out felt so cleansing (she color coordinated everything) and 2 hour shopping session was super efficient, effortless, and of course fun! I like that she procures quality pieces secondhand, as it aligns with my personal philosophy (have not found any others that do this.) She took my feedback on designers but then introduced new ones. I use the personalized lookbook several times a week, and when I don't think something looks quite right she is a text away with her opinion and suggestions. As for her pricing, I looked at it as an investment in myself that is balanced out by the fact that I'm not paying retail for the clothes. Coupled with the fact that she has still been available after my shopping session I would say it has been well worth the value.

Soon after, I reached out to Mallory, and we began with a review of my closet, followed by a personal shopping day. My favorite was our shopping experience together. 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.

Mallory has 'ideal appearance' tied together perfectly, maintains professionalism, all while embracing a relaxed environment for me express myself comfortably. I can not stress enough how important that essence is to have working in an at-times cut-throat or what-can-be a stressful and competitive industry. She is a top notch rep for Motive Cosmetics!

I've now worked with Jennifer at A Sharp Dressed Man on multiple occasions, including an initial…read morewardrobe refresh and a recent spring/summer shopping and styling experience, and I can honestly say the value has extended far beyond simply buying clothes. What sets Jennifer apart is her ability to understand not only what looks good on someone, but also how they live, what they're comfortable wearing, and how they want to present themselves. She takes the time to learn your preferences and then introduces options you may never have considered on your own while still making sure everything feels authentic and wearable. During our most recent experience, Jennifer helped me build a cohesive spring and summer wardrobe that was both versatile and practical. She also guided me through selecting eyeglass frames as an accessory, something I had never paid much attention to before. I was surprised by how much of a difference the right frames can make, and her recommendations helped me find options that complemented both my features and personal style. Another highlight was being introduced to the custom tailoring process. Jennifer coordinated the experience and helped guide decisions on fabrics, fit, and details that I would have otherwise felt overwhelmed by. The end result was clothing that fit exceptionally well and gave me a much better understanding of the difference that proper tailoring can make. Perhaps the biggest benefit of working with Jennifer is the confidence and simplicity she brings to getting dressed. My wardrobe is more organized, pieces work together seamlessly, and the look book she created has made my life incredibly easy. The shopping process itself is also incredibly efficient because everything is planned with purpose. Jennifer is knowledgeable, personable, honest, and genuinely invested in helping her clients look and feel their best. Whether you're looking for a complete wardrobe overhaul, seasonal updates, styling advice, custom clothing, or help refining the details that pull everything together, I would highly recommend working with her.

After a few years working from home and getting lazy about my wardrobe, I needed a reset and am thankful I found Jennifer to help. She helped me quickly get to the core of what I was looking for via a short phone consultation and an afternoon trying on clothes in store. She has the process completely down, with attention to making it efficient and smooth running. Buying a bunch of clothes in one go is a sticker shock but knowing I don't have to spend hours shopping on my own, where I'd inevitably end up with clothes that are just "OK" or sloppy looking makes it completely worth the investment. I love the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend her!

Color analysis: While I knew my colors, this was the first time I really got to see the effect of having a complimentary color near my face vs one that doesn't work. Once I saw how the wrong colors highlighted every shadow, wrinkle and blemish I vowed right then and there to NEVER wear an unflattering hue. I would have never tried a bright orange without Sophy but now I have a new favorite color! Body analysis: This was really hard but Sophy is so kind, encouraging and understanding while offering a very analytical way to look at my body, and showing me dress to hide the "flaws" and how to flaunt the good stuff. I now have a much better idea of what I need to look for when shopping, and I got a handy reference guide in case I ever need a reminder. Shopping Tour: Sophy and Liz really know how to make shopping a pleasure. It's so awesome to have clothing ready and waiting at each store to try on, AND have nearly every be immediately flattering. They helped me choose a wardrobe that would mix and match, and go from work place to networking, and a few fun casual pieces too. Now, I don't even want to shop for myself. I find that in the long run, utilizing a person shopper to save me both time and money.

But when it comes to vintage shopping and finding good deals sometimes I need some help and I didn't realize just how much help I needed until I met the oh so fashionable Tristin M (http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=VwNovCZaYKaiKIMiUcFl4A). When I first met Tristin a few weeks ago I found myself admiring her adorable vintage dress and cool accessories...where could I find an outfit like that? And before I knew it Tristin was in my closet and joining me on shopping trips. Tristin is a wardrobe stylist (I believe that's the proper term for it) and based on her AMAZING sense of style she couldn't have a job more perfect for her! I believe her prices vary with what you hire for, but it seems to be about $60 an hour...and boy is she worth it! Tristin started off in my closet last week helping me organize a bit...I was ready to donate the old stuff I don't wear anymore, but half of the stuff I was about to put into the trash bag Tristin would pair it with a cute tunic in my closet or something else that I would never dream of and all of a sudden I had all these new outfits! She even pulled out the scissors and started cutting shirts (with my approval of course) to turn them into something cool and trendy again. I love this girl! After deciding what I needed for fall (actually I really don't need anything...more like WANT for fall) Tristin and I made our way to a bunch of thrift shops on Milwaukee. I typically stay away from thrift stores because I don't even know where to start, but that's just because I've never had Tristin at my side. She found the cutest things on those racks and at the BEST prices...seriously, I brought home a marc jacobs jacket for $40! I had given Tristin a budget ahead of time and she really did a great job of staying within it...I was about to grab a cute camisole for $50 at one of our non thrift store shops, Free People, but she quickly reminded me that I didn't need it and we could find a comparable camisole for much less...and here I was thinking it was a great deal! Who knew that paying a wardrobe stylist would actually save money??? I walked away with some great clothes today for my fall wardrobe and can't wait to go shopping with Tristin again! Tristin's web site is currently in the works, but if you want some wardrobe tips of your own email her here: christine@tristinstyling.com

Christine responded quickly telling me that she will find out. Note that this was after 9pm pacific, so it was really late for her, but she responded anyways! The next day, she texted me confirming that the sale has started, so I sent her pics of items I want. Christine did not waste any time, she went to the store and got the items I was dying to get!
