Carolyn is so kind and sweet, and she made going through my outdated closet efficient and fun. She took into consideration things I cared about, and found me looks that met my needs, but also breathed new life into my wardrobe (like color! and patterns!). The whole process was also so, so easy. Carolyn brought a whole bunch of clothes, I had fun trying things on, and then she came back one last time with different sizes and some tailored clothes. I really appreciated that she understands fit -- when it came to something fitting well, that was a non-negotiable, and I learned a lot from Carolyn. The lookbook is a great resource and I've been using it when I need ideas. But honestly a lot of the pieces go so well with each other that I haven't had any problem putting something together. The whole experience was far more fun than I expected, and it's had a bigger impact on my day to day than I ever expected. Thank you, Carolyn!

Disappointing experience. The service did not meet the expectations that were set in writing,…read morecommunication became difficult, and when I raised concerns by email, I often did not receive a response at all, so I ended up cancelling - wouldn't you, after being ignored for a week ? The digital wardrobe was an interesting concept, but I did not find it particularly useful in practice. Most of the items I purchased were ultimately returned or sold. There were also purchases I did not feel I had approved, and when I attempted to address these concerns, I did not receive a meaningful response. Because my concerns remained unresolved and not responded to (I had given a week), I cancelled our final meeting as it's awkward having someone ignore you then come to your home. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable continuing the working relationship. The fashion suggestions were very basic ie "where a cardigan with a dress" and not what would expect from a stylist, more like something at the mall. This review reflects my personal experience as a paying client. Based on that experience, I would not work with this stylist again.

Never having the money to wear any of the seasons designers clothes, I did try and pick up a piece or two on sale at the end of the season. I always thought a great pair of shoes, handbag and the mantra of " hi - low" would get me by. Over the last 2 years I realized I had some great pieces in my closet but had no idea how to put them together or how to think outside of the box. And I didnt know how to find a stylist who would work with a budget, Until I met Barbra.... I purchased Barbra's services off of guilt group on a blind whim. I had never met her, seen her work or had even spoken to her. I knew I needed her though. I NEEDED someone to sift through my clothes and create outfit options for me. I didn't want to be obligated to a stylist who only shops retail because I have 4 NYC private schools to pay for. Not an option particularly in this economy. Barbra has the perfect business paradigm for normal people who want to look great. Her thinking is awesome. Firstly? Everything is about reworking or consigning. She does an intake phone call before you meet her which could go on forever because her energy is much fun. (you hang up feeling like you just talked to your best friend!)then she comes bubbling into your home with a huge suitcase of consigned clothing from either her own clients or from Decades 2 in LA. The hottest and highest end consignment store for all the stylists and their actor clients. Then you get down to work. She is a magician with styling. Things I didn't even know I owned and things that I hadn't worn in years, she made hip, current and edgy. She styled my mothers 45 year old velvet Pucci maxi skirt and it rocked. I could go on and on. I ended up spending two afternoons with B and cld have used two more. I took pics of every outfit with accessories and shoes, bags. I refer to those pics every time I go out. Moreover, people notice. I get so many compliments on how I look and I can feel people tracking me when I go to a restaurant. Barbra has given me new insight onto dressing and how to present myself. She truly has made a huge impact and I thank her all the time. My husband is theist happy! Thanks Babs!!! Plz excuse typos. I'm on my iPhone.

Working with a stylist might seem like a total splurge, but when I had an unexpected career change…read more-- it was time to let go of the past and enter the new (fiercer) future. It now became a necessity. I first met Barbra at an event at Beckley's on Melrose. She was part of a group of experts discussing the importance of fashion on image and branding. After I heard her no-nonsense eco-friendly approach to styling (reuse, repurpose, recycle -- THEN buy something new), I knew I wanted to work with her. Of course it didn't hurt that she is also a British Vogue online correspondent and a published author of Closet Control. Any way, she takes her business SERIOUSLY. Prior to her first power session with you, she advises you to get plenty of rest and eat something because it is going to be intense. Wow. This was kinda like the advice I got prior to doing my first Triathalon last year. And then we went for it. Years of clothes and shoes were thrown out, and things were repurposed and reworked to create things I didn't think of putting together. Old faves were retired, but that ultimately made room for new faves. This was some serious therapy as I was sooooo attached to my stuff, even though I hadn't worn things in years. Some stuff still had tags. Anyway, I have a better sense of what woks for my figure. She also strongly suggested that I rethink my attraction to expensive handbags, and invest that money elsewhere in my wardrobe. I still refuse to let go of Marc and Louis and Yves, but I haven't bought anything new. This makes the BF very happy.

She first helped me sort through my closet to pick out items that I forgot I had and showed me how many options I already have that were great (plus helped me find some items to donate/discard).

Alison also offers a variety of packages and works with you to find the right fit for your needs. Would definitely recommend!

Most importantly, she helped me narrow in on my vision and clothing style, and how the two would intersect. She also educated me on the different brands and how to tell good quality clothes from mass-produced clothing where you're paying a high price just for the brand. 8 months later and I have been slowly curating my ideal closet based on that initial consultation, and her lessons always run through my head whenever I go shopping. I also really appreciate that she's always available on her Facebook group as well whenever I have a question for a continuing education! As someone who has always struggled with fashion, my consultation with Candace has been incredibly pivotal in helping me to express myself that way I've always wanted to!

She is very detailed and creative and I would recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to spruce up their wardrobe for a special occasion or even just to change their daily style. We started the day reviewing my old clothes. She showed me why some clothes weren't working for my body type and kept the ones that fit. From there, she made a list of clothes I needed for my lifestyle and where to go to find them within my budget. Usually shopping days are very stessful, but with Candace's guidance and new education she provided, I am rocking it! Thank you Candace - 10 stars if I could!

She loves doing what she does which made shopping with her a blast. She took me speed shopping around LA--she knows the city like the back of her hand. At one point we found a couple shirts that I really loved. She knew (somehow??) that they would be going on sale next week so she had me put them on hold. I came back one week later and shirt enough they were 50% off! One my favorite things about her was that I didn't feel like she was trying sell me things that I didn't need--she was on my team and genuinely cared about finding me the right items. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elyse to any guy looking to freshen up his wardrobe or anyone who wants to experience LA in style.

Mary was thoughtful, professional, and incredibly efficient while still making each person feel seen and cared for. She provided personalized color season cards that outlined the best colors to wear, along with guidance on jewelry and makeup choices. The cards were clear, practical, and easy to reference, which made the experience both fun and actionable. Our team truly enjoyed their sessions, and many of us walked away feeling more confident and excited about our personal style. I would highly recommend Mary for corporate events or team experiences. She brings expertise, warmth, and a seamless process to everything she does.

Before I hired Mary as my personal stylist, I really struggled with the idea of someone coming into…read moremy space and being judgmental or not understanding what I would be comfortable in. But when I met Mary, I just felt at ease. She was so easy to talk to, not judgmental at all (but assertive when necessary to let me know when things needed to be let go) and I felt a great connection with her. I hired Mary because I knew I was in a rut, stuck in my comfort zone with my style which was neither impressive nor flattering. I really needed help to expand my horizons as far as what I could wear that would still be me but also give the outward impression that I wanted to give. I felt my previous style was tired and I was wearing too much of the same thing. Now, I feel amazing! I love all my new clothes and how Mary created new outfits using my existing wardrobe. It all feels cohesive, easy but also sophisticated. I feel super confident in the options I have when getting dressed now, whether it's going into the office or going to a work event, where my style helps me be more outgoing. Truly, the eye Mary has for matching to your color palette and the silhouettes that will be flattering is incredible. Mary is just amazing and provides so much value to anyone she works with. She is incredibly organized from the consultation call to the offboarding, telling you exactly what to expect and then she usually goes above and beyond and does more than what is even promised. I'm just incredibly grateful for the experience and would recommend her to anyone.
