While I rely on it often, I don't usually write Yelp reviews, but I'm making an exception because I can't say enough about Annie and her style services. Let me start by saying I'm 32, and I love being creative in my closet. However, after several consecutive years of moving around the country, I found myself dealing with a bunch of not-fitting, not-appropriate, or no longer the style I wanted to emanate clothes. It was very frustrating attempting to re-acclimate to Chicago's weather, find a job, and just plain feel good about myself with what I had. I was really thinking I needed to start completely over. Enter: Annie. I Googled stylists, read a million different Yelp reviews, and reached out to three different consulting companies. Annie stood out from the get-go with her personal correspondence; it was our initial phone chat that really made me believe she both cared about my dilemma and could help. And help she definitely did. I chose to use her closet auditing service, which meant she came over, went through my closet with me, asked me about what I wanted out of my style, and then set to work putting together looks. She'd pull out a piece, and I'd give her any number of excuses why I didn't wear that "right now." She'd listen to my concern, pair it with something, and ask me to just try it and see how I felt. I have two pencil skirts I NEVER wore before, and now I wear them weekly using Annie's tips. We created a short list of pieces I could add that would help maximize things I already owned, and she's been such a valuable resource as I shop. BUT THE BEST part of what she does comes after the audit - I received a personalized app with pictures of all the looks she created, so whenever I feel lost, I can refer back to the pictures and find something to wear. I'm basically Cher from Clueless now guys. It's incredible. Annie is talented, kind, and was exactly the person I needed to help me get my groove back and feel confident again about what I'm putting out in the world. It's an investment, but jump on the wellness wagon and bite the bullet; you really won't regret it. read more

I had never worked with a stylist before and felt it was an indulgence I could not afford. Now I think of how much money I've wasted on clothes I only wore in one outfit. How did I afford that approach? At my request, my husband gave me Annie's styling services as a gift. What a treat! Annie was genuine and kind from the moment we started emailing. She was warm and thoughtful in her approach. When she arrived she asked me several questions about my life and my style. I couldn't describe it. "Professional, polished, but easy and not fussy?..?," was all I could come up with, I knew that wasn't a style. She took that info and ran with it. She took my key challenge pieces and designed multiple outfits around them. She made combinations I never would have come up with myself. They are so fun and fresh! I now have a wardrobe of "looks" using pieces I've had and was tired of before. Now I just scan through my looks and know exactly what I'll wear, down to jewelry and shoes. I haven't even made it through all the options yet! Thank you Annie! I can't wait to work on next season's wardrobe! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to hire Annie! I am a lawyer in my mid-30, seeking to look more "put together," both at work (business casual) and at play. I decided to hire Annie as a more economical way to achieve that look- rather than continuing to buy pieces without a plan on how to wear them, I hired Annie, who showed me how to use the pieces I already own in new and creative ways. I LOVE the results. She assembled new looks, but still stayed true to my style. Every night I scroll through my photo book and choose an outfit for the next day - so much easier and more interesting than staring at my closet wondering what to wear, or thinking I have nothing to wear. My husband has even joked that I'm so into Annie's looks, I'm going to forget how to dress myself. :) I've never felt more polished, and that polished/stylish feeling translates to confidence! Annie was a pleasure to work with - very warm, friendly, and professional, and was very responsive to my requests/questions before and since she did my remix. I highly recommend working with Annie! read more

I'd never really considered hiring a stylist - it seemed like a totally unnecessary indulgence - but decided to splurge and treat myself to a closet remix with Anne, and I could not be happier with the experience! Anne found about 30 outfits in my closet that I just hadn't considered. I'd been buying pieces I liked, but didn't really have an eye for layering and coordinating them. She put together looks from the things I already owned, and made a few suggestions for items to round out my wardrobe. She also answered questions and explained the looks throughout the session, which made me more confident in creating bold outfits on my own. I have all of the looks stored in a mobile app, and check the photos every time I'm looking for outfit inspiration. Since our session, I've been receiving TONS of compliments on my wardrobe. It feels great to know that I'll look polished and put together without much thought or effort. This is a wonderful investment for anyone looking to simplify the fashion part of their busy lifestyle. read more

Amazing! I met Annie at a friends house when she did "fashion show" talked about trends and necessities everyone should have which was awesome! Annie was so engaging, fun, and knowledgeable that made me decide to have her come to my closet and have her help me. I was nervous at first because I didn't know what a stylist could offer, honestly was nervous I didn't have enough fun pieces to need a stylist and was embarrassed of my closet. Annie made me so comfortable, she helped me with my trouble pieces, items I love that I just never seem to wear because I feel like nothing goes....she solved all of my problem pieces and gave me options to wear. I cleaned out a lot of stuff that I never wore, and put together ideas to make new outfits with older pieces. In the end I wasn't missing anything! Yeah! It made me realize what I already had, I put together more 3rd pieces to tie outfits together, and I refer to my styling choices all the time! So glad I did it and can't wait to go shopping in Chicago with Annie! read more

Anne is an amazing stylist to work with on getting your closet in tip top shape! I think I am like many women, who when faced with getting dressed in the morning, stare at their closet and think, "I have nothing to wear." With limited time to spend shopping and accessorizing myself, I reached out to Anne to ask for some help. And help did she ever. From the first visit, sorting through what I already had and starting a donation bag (which was really amazing- trying on what you already have and getting some quick honest feedback and styling tips was amazing) to the end, wrapping up final selections and styling, Anne is a true professional. Her demeanor makes you feel like you're hanging out with an old friend, all while getting great clothes that fit and make you feel put together. The entire process couldn't have been easier, and I am so pleased with the result. If you're on the fence about styling, Anne is a great stylist you'll be happy to work with. read more

Anne met with my tween daughter to help her coordinate and recommend outfits that would be age appropriate and flattering for a girl her age and size. She was instantly able to group articles of clothing and accessories that we would have never thought of on our own that looked super trendy. She came up with sooo many cute outfits using the clothes and shoes and accessories that we already had in her closet. Anne sent us digital pictures of the outfits right away and then also mailed us hard copies of the looks as well. We keep those right on her dresser so she can flip through in the morning to help her decide what to wear. The session itself was really fun for my daughter and Anne did such a nice job of making my timid daughter feel completely as ease. Anne has the sweetest personality along with the most amazing sense of style. I would definitely recommend her service! Looking forward to another session soon. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Annie on a few different occasions. As a newbie to NYC where fashion is around every corner she helped me discover my own style. She helped me take risks that were actually within my own wardrobe already and helped me combine tops and bottoms to create a new look. Annie is creative, smart, truly kind, and selfless. She takes time to listen to customers and help them uncover beauty within. The outfits helped me feel beautiful and confident. Not once did I feel like I was wearing somebody else's clothes. That's exactly what I wanted, to feel more beautiful in my own skin and Annie helped me achieve that. Whether you are looking to totally reinvent yourself or just a fresh new look Annie will take the time to find a wardrobe enhancement that brings out the best in you! My only regret is that I didn't use her more! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Annie on a few occasions. As a person who spends most of her time in yoga clothes, I enjoy the opportunity to dress up but never know what to wear. I am also a tall girl with an athletic build and it's hard for me to find clothes I feel comfortable and confident in. I am SO GRATEFUL for Annie, not only is she is fantastic stylist, but also a phenomenal person. I think the best part of my styling experiences with Annie have been that she makes me comfortable and confident in whatever I am wearing. She also worked with the clothes that I already had and put together outfits that I would have NEVER thought of. She is creative, personable, fun, genuine and really cares about you. I would recommend Annie in a heartbeat to any and all of my friends. She's so talented and also a person you want to be around. read more

Low and behold!!!... my daughter did not need new clothes for her first year in college! :-) Wonderful Annie looked in my daughter's closet and found 20 perfect and fun outfits for my daughter's first three weeks in college and then some! Hooray! My daughter's clothes come from a variety of stores, everything from Target to Nordstrom's. She made a style board app on my daughters phone and now all my daughter has to do is open up her phone and pick an outfit for the day! Therefore, focusing on her studies (premed) instead of spending time picking out an outfit. Her friends love her clothes and she is effortlessly one of the best dressed kids on campus. ha ha! Since we did not have to shop for new clothes, Annie actually saved me money! I will use Annie for my daughter's winter wardrobe and my own! read more

I kept buying clothes thinking that new items were the only way to make a closet more diverse. I learned that is not true from Annie! She helped me to pair the clothes I already own in different and imaginative ways. I always love her input and creativity. The other thing I have to mention about Annie is she is so kind. I felt like she wanted to get to know who I am in order to work with my clothes and make me feel truly confident. Often times people in fashion can be cold and intimidating, which is why I never looked into style consultations. Annie is warm and understanding, there is nothing pretentious about her. Annie isn't just a stylist, she feels more like a great friend! I give her my highest recommendation and hope that she touches more people through fashion as much as she's touched me! read more

Annie came into my closet and weeded out and organized it like a pro (because she IS one!). She was diplomatically and respectfully ruthless! She was patient and open-minded, and she listened if I protested about tossing something (and sometimes even agreed!). I felt so much lighter and calmer when we were finished, not only because of the fabulous organization, but because SHE is so calm and relaxing. Annie made every discard seem like a no-brainer, even though it was literally 10 years+ of stuff. I ended up with my very best closet, and NO regrets. She even takes care of getting rid of it all: charitable donations, consignment or alas, trash. I am thrilled with the results and will recommend Annie to all my friends, both for a closet clean out and styling. She's amazing! read more

I never planned to hire a stylist but I have seen Annie at a few events and what I really liked most is her philosophy of what looks good on you is what is in style. I thought I was fairly decent at putting outfits together, but she put things together that I would have never considered. Also, she takes into consideration your personality and own personal style so you don't feel like you are wearing an outfit that "isn't you." I even showed her some pieces that I really like but never wear and she found a way to work them into my wardrobe. In the end, I feel like I have a bunch a new outfits and I only needed a few pieces to complete the season, so in the long run, I probably saved money! She is so lovely and easy to work with - I would totally recommend working with her! read more

We, my daughter & I, invited Annie to come to Dubuque, IA to consult with a group of us and I am as simple as it gets when it comes to style. Annie presented a wonderful style show social at my home for about 15 participants. It was very informative, entertaining, and relaxed. Everyone there walked away with something. She also met with a number of us, one on one to go through our closets. I was a bit nervous as to what I was going to have to buy. The bottom line was - very little. She pulled together some AWESOME combinations of items I already had and they looked like brand new clothes. I feel really comfortable and relaxed with her recommendations because she took the time to get to know ME and we went from there. Way to go, Annie! We will have you back... read more

Annie is the best. Her sense of style is amazing and her warmth and kindness instantly put me at ease. She made me over 30 outfits out of clothing that I already own. Combos I wouldn't have thought of from casual to date night and everything in between. I now have more confidence in what I'm wearing and if I'm ever in a clothing rut or need some inspiration I just take a quick look at the custom app she made me. No more wasted time spent staring in my closet hoping the perfect outfit would materialize. Annie is well worth the investment. Think of all the money you spend purchasing clothing you never wear. Put that investment into hiring Annie and you'll soon have the wardrobe you've always wanted!! read more

I hate clothes shopping almost as much as I hate figuring out what to wear each morning. Working with Annie solved both of these problems for me! After conducting an audit of what was already in my closet, she went shopping to acquire new pieces to go with my existing clothes. She brought everything to my house - I didn't even have to set foot in a store! - and she returned anything I didn't keep. The best part was, she put together more than 50 outfits for me and added them into an app that is now on my phone. In less than a minute each day, I can decide exactly what I'll wear. This has made my morning routine much easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend Annie's services!! read more

I have never had a hard time shopping but once I got the items home I just never knew how to put it together with my current items. Annie did a great job creating more outfits than I could have imagined were possible in my own closet. I really loved how she took the time to ask me a lot of great questions to understand what I was trying to accomplish and what a day in the life of me was like so that she could put together the right outfits. She also did a great job putting together outfits that I can wear as it starts to get warmer without having to buy anything new. I can't wait for spring and summer so she can come back and help do the same thing with that wardrobe! read more

A few months ago I worked with Annie for a closet cleanout and some personal shopping. She helped me get rid of clothes that were dated but even more importantly, she helped me find ways to mix my existing wardrobe with a few new pieces to create many new looks. I have received so many compliments on my new "looks" and I feel energized by my wardrobe! She has a great app that I refer to over and over again to get new ideas of how to put together great looks for many different occasions. She is a pleasure to work with and I am looking forward to having her help me put together new outfits as the seasons change. I have worked with stylists before and Annie is the best!! read more

I love having things in order and my closet was always a struggle. It's much less stressful getting dolled up on a daily basis. Also the money I spent on Annie I would have spent on buying new clothes. She reworked my closet completely...it's like I upcycled my wardrobe:) Worth every penny! Annie helped me weed out the clothes that needed to go and then put outfits together with specific trouble pieces I didn't know how to use. I found a ton of ways to wear my clothes...like a new closet. Annie has a fabulous positive attitude. Her presence with customers is professional yet very approachable. She made me comfortable and confident. Thanks Annie read more
