I actually love to shop and do a little too much of it, although in recent years find myself…read moreshopping more for my kids than myself. A few years ago we had my daughter's bat mitzvah and I found the most difficult task of the weekend was coordinating all the wardrobes for the entire family. And finding a dress for myself when the department stores carry so little these days was impossible. And now my son's is coming up and the thought of doing it all again was daunting! I decided what we needed was a personal stylist and I turned to Yelp for help. I came across these glowing reviews for Lora and emailed her right away. She wrote back within minutes and being someone who really values responsiveness I loved her immediately. We set up a call to go over all the details. Our initial call involved me telling her about all the weekend events, what the kids wanted to wear/not wear (my 14 year old daughter can be especially particular) and describing what the decor of the party would look like. I followed up with pictures of what we wore a few years ago to my daughter's bat mitzvah, as well as sample decor for my son's upcoming bar mitzvah. Lora sent me all the info for her pricing, which seemed fair and well worth it. To be fair I would probably spend more shipping back returns since many of these stores (ahem saks) don't do returns for free these days. We then set up a day for her to come style the entire family, but decided she would start with me...and then we could figure out everyone else's outfits around mine. Styling day arrived and Lora showed up with suitcases filled of beautiful clothes. She nicely kicked me out of my room and set them all up. There were a lot of clothes and accessories (shoes, jewelry, pocket squares, etc), but again this was for 3 events for a family of 5. She had some beautiful dresses for me, but there were 3 very clear winners: one for the friday night dinner, one for the service and another for the party. All were dresses I likely wouldn't have picked out myself and she helped me figure out what the service dress would look like once my seamstress was able to shorten it to the perfect length. We also decided the party dress would be better at midi length. While I took the longest, I was one of her easier clients because then she met my husband who hates nothing more than trying on clothes. Fortunately, she had it all laid out for him to make it as easy as possible, but he did his fair share of grunting as he tried on one outfit after another. And my daughter was even more difficult. The first party dress she tried on couldn't have been more perfect, but wasn't what she had in her mind originally so it took a few weeks of trying on more dresses (that I bought on my own) before she admitted that one of Lora's picks really was perfect. My boys were pretty easy, but are in major growth spurt mode so she needed to send clothes in different sizes. One of the best things about Lora is that she does all the returns for you, which saves a lot of time. Lora took pics of everything before she left and a week after sent me a lookbook for each outfit, which will be so helpful when I'm organizing everything for the big weekend. She also send me links for everything else we needed for the big day (ex: clutch for me, suits in bigger sizes for my boys, etc). And thanks to Lora I think every member of my family has outfits, shoes AND accessories for all 3 events that weekend. I can't wait to post pics of it all after the big weekend and I'm even more excited to do a everyday styling session with Lora after the bar mitzvah is done. She also does closet organization so can't wait to use her for that as well!

Would recommend Lora to anyone trying to overhaul their wardrobe and style!…read more We did a full day cleanse, picked out new clothes custom to what we went over in a phone consultation, and styled current and new pieces into a look book for me to have to make decisions easy every morning. I now have an effortless wardrobe from a judgement free, positive, and professional point of view. She made it fun, educational, and custom to what I was looking for with no salesy approach. I had always wanted to go through a process like this and now it's a no brainer to build in regular check-ins with Lora to adjust my wardrobe to my style as it grows. Really priceless to always be confident in how I present myself.

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.

Katie is literally the best! If you're wondering if you need new clothes given COVID, I would say…read morenow is a better time than ever since wearing the same comfy-but-not-cute outfits that have become a staple these past few months is starting to get depressing. How I got to Katie: After hearing me complain about not having the right clothes for the right occasions for years, my husband surprised me with a virtual introduction to Katie for our 5 year anniversary. He was a little nervous I would be insulted, but I agreed a wardrobe refresh was MUCH needed! I didn't realize exactly how badly I needed Katie until she came and did the closet clean out (wearing a mask of course). I already got rid of bags of clothes a few months prior, but she ended up getting rid of even more bags! Some things were over 10 years old and really had to go... And the whole thing was so fast I didn't have much time to lament over each item, which was a good thing. While this sounds scary I can say I don't miss anything I got rid of! Katie eagerly and deligently listened to what I was struggling with and looking for, and even sent me a few texts of things I requested (eg a tailor, storage solutions) minutes after leaving! The next phase was shopping! I was hesitant not to do this in the stores - it is an option to shop in-person with Katie, but she recommends bringing to you and thar customers love it. I'm SO glad I went this route. With the amount I had Katie get, it would've taken days if we did it together. I never had such a pampering, fun experience as trying on clothes brought to my home, hand picked for me, for hours with Katie! I had to even take a break to eat a bite at one point, but Katie kept going taking pictures of everything for the look book and laying everything out. She's a machine! Katie truly knows, lives and breathes fashion - and is super kind and customer focus. She was extremely responsive to both me and my husband throughout the process, and clearly cared about my happiness and satisfaction with the outcome. The look book is great because it pairs pieces I never would've thought too, which is exactly what I needed! I also can't believe as I scroll through that all this is now MY clothes Highly recommend!

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 end up buying stuff I don't love and that goes in the Goodwill bag during spring cleaning. I had thought of hiring a stylist, but searching for one was overwhelming, I didn't see myself as a fashionista. I just wanted nice clothes that looked good on me, expressed who I was, and could be managed in my city-sized closet. When I met Annie at a party, her relaxed but very put together style and open, kind way of communicating made me think she could be the one. I hired her and I'm so glad I did. I told her what I liked, my size, what I needed clothes for. She showed up at my house with bags of clothes. Most of them looked amazing and they interchanged to create multiple outfits. She was also able to use a lot of what I already had, even though I thought I had "nothing." I was done in less than two hours and I never had to leave my house. Yay!!! I'm never going clothes shopping again. I'll definitely be calling Annie when I'm ready for a refresh.

She was professional, so easy (and fun) to work with, efficient with time/while still being creative, and she made me feel a) so comfortable and b) SO ME and beautiful in clothing I wouldn't normally pick myself, that I decided to keep! Her attention to little details on posture, putting the finishing touches on my outfits and hair flyaways, made the shoot seamless. Thank you, Annie! So grateful for you!

Color analysis: While I knew my colors, this was the first time I really got to see the effect of having a complimentary color near my face vs one that doesn't work. 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.

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

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've now worked with Jennifer at A Sharp Dressed Man on multiple occasions, including an initial…read morewardrobe refresh and a recent spring/summer shopping and styling experience, and I can honestly say the value has extended far beyond simply buying clothes. What sets Jennifer apart is her ability to understand not only what looks good on someone, but also how they live, what they're comfortable wearing, and how they want to present themselves. She takes the time to learn your preferences and then introduces options you may never have considered on your own while still making sure everything feels authentic and wearable. During our most recent experience, Jennifer helped me build a cohesive spring and summer wardrobe that was both versatile and practical. She also guided me through selecting eyeglass frames as an accessory, something I had never paid much attention to before. I was surprised by how much of a difference the right frames can make, and her recommendations helped me find options that complemented both my features and personal style. Another highlight was being introduced to the custom tailoring process. Jennifer coordinated the experience and helped guide decisions on fabrics, fit, and details that I would have otherwise felt overwhelmed by. The end result was clothing that fit exceptionally well and gave me a much better understanding of the difference that proper tailoring can make. Perhaps the biggest benefit of working with Jennifer is the confidence and simplicity she brings to getting dressed. My wardrobe is more organized, pieces work together seamlessly, and the look book she created has made my life incredibly easy. The shopping process itself is also incredibly efficient because everything is planned with purpose. Jennifer is knowledgeable, personable, honest, and genuinely invested in helping her clients look and feel their best. Whether you're looking for a complete wardrobe overhaul, seasonal updates, styling advice, custom clothing, or help refining the details that pull everything together, I would highly recommend working with her.
