I called Raquel because I wasn't happy with my wardrobe. No matter how much money I spent on…read moreclothes and shoes I never seemed to have the right thing to wear. Raquel taught me so many things in just a few hours of time together. It was an amazing value and I'm saving money already by not spending it on the wrong colors, shapes, styles, sizes and I think about new items in a different way - how much I love it and how many different items it goes with in my existing wardrobe. I see which items have the most value and which are expensive mistakes that wouldn't be versatile enough to wear with other items in my closet. How did it work? The approach she used in my case was to review colors (by my request) and then Style, Shop, Style. She put together a bunch of outfits from head to toe with accessories and shoes out of my closet, before I bought anything. The next step was to go shopping - she made a shopping list based on wardrobe gaps that were preventing me from making more outfits. Then we met again to style the new items. She made multiple outfits from each of the items. We set aside some items for hemming and tailoring - which I've already gotten done. I learned how to put outfits together in a batch so I don't agonize over outfit making in the mornings when I haven't had coffee. And she sent me photos of almost 40 outfits she put together in the two styling sessions. I used those photos to pack for a 10 day business trip. I picked out which outfits I wanted for different situations on the trip, and packed all the items including jewelry and shoes and I knew what to put together each day. It was so easy! I think the best part was going from not having an outfit at all to being so put together that I get compliments every day. While I feel much more self-sufficient, I still have some changes to make in my style. I want to take this to another level and I'll be working with Raquel again to achieve that very soon.

Like some of the reviewers here, I'm not naturally fashionable, so I thought I might have been a…read morelost cause for Raquel. Not so! The assignments she had me complete got me thinking critically (as in, analytically, not in a mean spirit...) about what I wear, well before our consultation. When she tackled my closet, I was surprised by the versatility of my existing, and fairly minimal, wardrobe. And while I was a little anxious about someone coming over and going through my clothes and style with a fine-tooth comb (kind of a personal thing!), Raquel was non-judgmental and enthusiastic; it was like having a friend over. Glad I did this, it was a great investment!

Not only is Sydney friendly and supportive ( and affordable), but she knows her stuff. Super glad I made this investment in myself and my wardrobe- and the comments I'm getting on the new clothes every day at the office are the icing on the cake. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a wardrobe or style refresh!

Laurel's system is brilliant, from the initial questionnaire to the closet consultation, and through the shopping session itself. I felt like she really understood my likes and dislikes, had a real sense of how much I wanted to change my look and what I wanted to retain. The only hard part was choosing from all the great stuff she picked out for me. I'm psyched to start wearing my new clothes - which is a feely I've rarely had before! I can't recommend Laurel highly enough. Thank you Laurel!!

I walked into our consultation needing guidance on how to put together a polished and approachable look. She delivered that and more. Her demeanor is warm, friendly, down to earth and fun. During our meetings I felt like I was chatting with a friend :) She is compassionate and understanding of the struggles I felt about my body. Society isn't kind to women with curves and as someone who struggled with eating disorders her whole life, I had been beating myself up about my appearance. She approached those concerns from a loving place and has helped me look at clothing sizes in a more healthy way. In an industry that typically shames women for their "inadequacies" Thea helped me feel good myself. I love my color wheel and it's already proven so helpful during my most recent shopping trips. The color analysis alone is a smart investment in yourself because it enables you to successful select clothes/accessories that truly compliment you and get you the most bang for your buck overall. I also did the body consultation and learned so much about what types of clothing works best on my figure. She created a lovely book for me to use as a guide and I adore it! I really enjoyed working with Thea and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to give themselves a gift. We get help for all other areas of our life ( ie:personal trainers, nutritionists, hairstylists, and doctors)...why not get help in creating your desired look? Do yourself a favor and reach out to her :) Thank you, Thea!

I always like to have a little self-improvement project going on in my life, and since I've just moved to Austin, and a lot of things are correspondingly very new for me, I thought it would be a great time to focus on the way I present myself, and project my personality, to others. Consulting Thea was, for me, the right choice. Hands down. The Service: Thea has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She reaches you with a seamles blend of professionalism and warmth. Her passion for style is visibly apparent, and her enthusiasm for helping you look your best is contagious. The Product: I love my color fan, and I take it everywhere with me - it's beautiful, first of all. On the more practical end, it's easy to use, and Thea has helped me to understand why certain colors work better than others, and how to use them, and what to look for. My style guide is detailed, personalized, and easy to use. Finally, the clothes I've bought with Thea..... well, I'm beyond happy with this. She takes the time to get to know you - your personality, your lifestyle, your goals - and she uses this to customize your shopping experience. In the clothes I picked with Thea, I don't feel like someone else dressed me. I feel like someone else guided me toward what I really wanted and needed, but never would have found on my own. The Bonus: I've learned so much about myself in the process.... so, if you really embrace the process and open up to it, you're really working on yourself both inside and out. Best of luck! Thanks, Thea!
