I love to shop and have to admit that I'm pretty good at it...especially just throwing down my…read morecredit card in some of my favorite boutiques around town. 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

A week ago, I've heard rumblings of Gucci doing 50% off sale. Being a sucker for good deals, I…read moretried to find out when the private sale is going to start. I called all the local Gucci boutiques here in Southern California, but the sales associate won't divulge any information. I was getting frustrated because I know shoppers from the east coast are able to get their orders in. I contacted Christine asking if she knows whether her local Gucci has started the sale. 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! Thank you so much for getting the items that I wanted! If you are looking for a remote personal shopper - Christine is your gal! She is fast, efficient, and communicates effectively! I have nothing but praises for the quality of service she provided. 5 stars!!!

The first time I visited, hubs was with me and we just browsed the store. We were planning on getting lunch and stumbled across the marketplace cafe so decided to stop in. I also stopped at the cafe during my second visit with my dog! Nordstrom is pet friendly, as long as your dog is well mannered. I absolutely love that! This location has 4 floors. There are several designer boutiques on the 1st floor like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Faragamo, and Burberry. Every associate I interacted with each time was very friendly and welcoming. Some even gave treats and pets to my dog! My third visit was more quick. I had to return some items and that went smoothly. I actually interacted with the same associate I purchased the items from originally (Curvine S.) and she was so great! She was very helpful when I purchased the items since I left my Nordstrom card at home, and guided me how to use my card on the app. Great customer service at this location and I will definitely be back the next time I am in Chicago.

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.

Listen, if you're thinking about working with Katie... do it RIGHT now. She's literally as good as…read moreit gets. Katie will help you find great clothes, but what she really will give you is CONFIDENCE.... the kind of confidence where everything else in your life (money, relationships, career, etc) starts improving because you FEEL like a boss. I was first referred to Katie from a friend. My friend and I decided to both work with Katie to help us boost our self-esteem & get ready for the next chapter of our lives. Since then, I've hired Katie 4 times... that's how much I love working with her. The first 2 times were to redesign my wardrobe. I travel a lot and I only wanted clothes I LOVED in my suitcase. The outfits she put together were so good that I ended up doing photo shoots in them lol. Katie gave me vocabulary to explain my personal style and now that I'm clear on it, I get non-stop compliments on how I look. The 3rd time was to help my boyfriend (a musician and high school teacher) redesign his look. Working with Katie has impacted him so profoundly. I see him making bold moves at work that he was fearful of before... all because he feels more confident. I just emailed Katie again to ask her to help me for a 4th time. I'm speaking at a conference next week, so I'll be working with her again to find my stage outfit! Anyway, if you're on the fence about working with Katie, jump over the fence immediately. Working with her is an amazing investment in yourself! - Tara Reed (tech entrepreneur)

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.

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.

I am learning so much from her that I feel like I can add to my wardrobe here and there on my own. I never felt shamed or ridiculed for my lack of fashion knowledge. She made me feel like I had great taste, and she was just guiding me in how to make it work for me. She also sent me a follow-up email to help me match accessories with outfits and gave me the name of her tailor. I have received all kinds of compliments from the office to the train.
