SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES A PERSONAL STYLIST DO?

Think of me as your trusted eye when it comes to your wardrobe.

I’m here to make getting dressed feel easier, more enjoyable, and much more intentional. Together, we look at what you already own, what you truly love wearing, what may be missing, and what no longer feels like you.

From editing your wardrobe to personal shopping and creating complete looks, I take care of the details so you don’t have to.

Coming from the world of French luxury fashion, I naturally pay close attention to quality, fit, proportion, and those little details that can completely transform a look. But above all, my role is to understand you and create a wardrobe that feels effortless, refined, and entirely your own.

I’M NEW TO THIS AND I’VE NEVER WORKED WITH A PERSONAL STYLIST, WHERE SHOULD I START? Why do I need a stylist?

First of all, you don’t need to know anything about fashion. You don’t even need to know exactly what you’re looking for - we’ll figure that out together.

We simply start with a conversation. I want to know about your life, your wardrobe, what you love wearing, what you avoid, what frustrates you, and most importantly, how you would like to feel in your clothes.

Maybe your wardrobe no longer reflects the woman you are today. Maybe you’re entering a new chapter, your lifestyle has changed, or you simply don’t have the time or desire to spend hours shopping.

Whatever brings you to me, there is no judgment and no fashion rulebook you need to follow.

My job isn’t to turn you into someone else. It’s to help you recognize and refine your own style and make getting dressed feel wonderfully simple again.

NOW THAT WE’VE SHOPPED TOGETHER ONCE, HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO SCHEDULE TIME WITH YOU?

As often, or as little, as makes sense for you.

Some of my clients love to reconnect once or twice a year, usually when the seasons change. Others prefer more regular support for travel, special occasions, professional needs, or simply because they enjoy having someone they trust looking after their wardrobe.

After working together, I’ll have a much better understanding of what your wardrobe needs, and I can recommend a rhythm that feels natural for you.

And I will never encourage you to shop simply for the sake of shopping. I would much rather help you find one exceptional piece that you’ll wear for years than fill your wardrobe with things you don’t need.

A beautiful wardrobe is built over time.

ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND MY STYLE? WHAT IF IT’S DIFFERENT FROM YOUR STYLE?

Yes and actually, I hope it is!

I’m not here to dress you like me. Your wardrobe should tell your story, not mine.

Of course, my French background and years in luxury fashion have shaped my eye. I care deeply about beautiful fabrics, flattering proportions, craftsmanship, and the way seemingly simple pieces come together. But those are tools I use to interpret your style, not impose my own.

I take the time to understand your personality, your lifestyle, what makes you feel beautiful, and what makes you feel like yourself.

Will I occasionally encourage you to try something you might not have picked up on your own? Probably. That’s part of the fun.

But you should always look in the mirror and still recognize yourself, just perhaps a little more confident.

DO I NEED A LARGE CLOTHING BUDGET TO WORK WITH A PERSONAL STYLIST?

Not at all.

Before we shop, we’ll talk openly about your budget so I can make thoughtful recommendations and choose the right places for you.

For me, luxury isn’t about spending more. It’s about choosing well.

There are pieces where beautiful construction, fabric, and craftsmanship are worth investing in, and others where there is absolutely no reason to overspend. Part of my role is knowing the difference.

I want every purchase to have a purpose and a place in your wardrobe. Sometimes that means investing in an exceptional coat you’ll wear for ten years. Sometimes it means finding the perfect simple T-shirt.

The goal is never simply to buy more. It’s to build a wardrobe you love wearing thoughtfully, beautifully, and at a pace that feels comfortable to you.

WHAT IF I GET HOME FROM SHOPPING AND CAN’T REMEMBER WHICH OF MY NEW ITEMS GOES WITH WHAT AND WHAT OUTFIT COMBINATIONS WE TALKED ABOUT?

Don’t worry. I won’t send you home with beautiful shopping bags and leave you wondering what to do with everything!

One of my favorite parts of the process is bringing it all together. We look at how your new pieces work with what you already own and create complete outfits, so you can see just how versatile your wardrobe can be.

I want you to open your closet in the morning and feel inspired rather than overwhelmed. Whether you’re getting dressed for a normal Tuesday, an important meeting, a dinner, a trip, or a special event, you should feel like you already have the answer waiting for you.

That sense of ease is, to me, one of the greatest luxuries of all.
