I would highly recommend working with Vanessa! I interviewed 3 different stylists and I felt the…read moremost comfortable with her. She is fun, warm, easygoing, and professional. She was never pushy and understood what I was looking for (and helped me when I really didn't know what I wanted or was looking for.) I really enjoyed all the services including the consultation, closet clean out, shopping, and outfit creation. The shopping in particular was amazing. I always WANT to enjoy shopping, but find it frustrating, confusing, and it tends to lower my self-esteem. Not so with Vanessa! I'm not sure how she did it, but I felt successful and excited about shopping. The process is very efficient and it's clear she knows exactly what she is doing. And when something doesn't look good, she points out what is wrong with the clothes so you don't end up feeling like you are the problem. I have never had such successful shopping! I have also loved all the compliments I started getting once I was wearing my new clothes. Suddenly I feel fashionable and confident enough to wear the more interesting outfits I would only dream about wearing. I even had someone insist I had lost weight (though I had not lost even a 1/2lb). I'm sure it was just because I am now wearing clothes that fit properly and are flattering. My boyfriend has also enjoyed the process, as he likes my new outfits and doesn't have to suffer through my complaints or freak-outs about what to wear! Overall, it feels like I now have an entrée into the world of fashion with a fabulous guide who is helping me learn and express my unique personality through my outward appearance. I look forward to continuing to work with her and feel liberated knowing someone has my back in the world of fashion!

Vanessa Valiente has made this so much easier. She helped me tremendously by reimagining my wardrobe for work and leisure. She even assembled a minimalistic, yet attractive and practical wardrobe for a recent trip to Africa, where I knew that I would experience somewhat primitive conditions. Vanessa is a gifted stylist and image consultant. Any woman who wants to feel confident about her appearance, without the stress of endless searching for the right clothing and accessories, would be wise to invest in her services. She is a treasure.

I am 28 and wanted to feel more confident in what I was wearing and stop having clothes as a source of stress or confusion. I tried to learn alone with things like Stitch Fix, browsing Pinterest or using other free online resources...but it was a game changer working with Carrie and saved me a lot of time trying to figure things out on my own. Style/fashion/clothes is something that used to stress me out so much. While working with Carrie, I not only gained confidence in my wardrobe and reduced future stress when going to any event (or even with every day clothing decisions/being on zoom, etc), I also I felt like I got a personal class on fashion! I learned what colors look the best on me, what kinds of clothing (shape, material, etc.) I like the best and WHY. This makes it so much easier for me to make decisions about clothing in the future, as well. Carrie was so great to work with!! I feel so set up for the foreseeable future and would definitely work with her again in the future years when I need a wardrobe refresh :)

It can feel overwhelming to start a personal style journey, but Conni made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I finally feel proud of the wardrobe I'm building! Here's a few things that have changed for me: - I feel compelled to get dressed every day - Getting dressed every day makes me want to leave the house and work from new, inspiring places - Shopping is exciting and fun again and I feel much more confident in my ability to analyze style and fit - Packing for travel is a breeze - I feel much more confident overall It took me months to commit to doing this, and I'm so happy I did!

When it came to celebrating my 30th birthday I wanted to step outside of the same three stores I shop at and buy something nice to celebrate myself and the new decade... My friend suggested Michael and I went to him in a panic. He really met me with such compassion and kindness it was comforting to feel so taken care of. I was anxious to have to sit on the internet for hours to find what I like but in his process it was more fun and painless! There wasn't a moment when I felt judged, concerned, or not in good hands. We set up a time, a place, and multiple stores had fitting rooms stacked ready to go with multiple ideas and selections I'd requested. He took the headache and nightmare out of finding things I like while at the hour and really encouraged my negative self talk while trying out new things. His enthusiasm, passion for his work, and sheer talent was worth every last costume change, minute, and dollar spent! I highly recommend giving Michael and his team a try! The dress he found for me was MADE FOR ME! I would've never picked it off the rack and I am so glad he found me all the others too they were perfect! I've never had a personal shopper kind of experience and this was everything I'd hoped it be and more!! Thank you Michael for pursuing your dreams and sharing the love with the world!

We discussed my preferences and off she went to online shop. I HATE to shop and often buy pieces that I never wear. When I saw how many pieces in my closet no longer worked for me, I realized the price of Lizzy's services is less than the cost of the clothes I discarded. She came back to my home a couple of times and we edited the looks together until we created a wardrobe that looks great and works for my lifestyle I wanted casual comfort that was stylish and that is what Lizzy created. Plus, I never need to shop again since I can call Lizzy and she can find the perfect outfit for the wedding or party or whatever occasion that arises. Sometimes I do not accept an invitation to an event because I don't have the appropriate outfit to wear. No more. It doesn't matter how old you are or what your daily routines include. We all want to look our best and, with the choices today, can get overwhelmed and just grab the same ole thing. With Lizzy as my clothing resource, I have a new confidence and a styling partner.

She also provided me with direct links to specific pieces that she recommended for me, and after buying them all, I feel so much more confident in my clothes and how I wear them.

She came to my condo and helped me with a "Closet Cleanse" that was much over due and severely needed. We even had enough time to go shopping that same day and begin to incorporate new items into my wardrobe. She has a great eye, and picked out some amazing pieces that were very affordable. After that fabulous day I contacted her again to help me update my make-up and then to shop a little more for some work pieces as well as casual and date night clothes. She also put together outfits for me and took pictures of them on my phone, so that I can refer to them whenever I need a little help. She has made what once was a daunting task seem very effortless and painless. I would highly recommended her services to anyone who is looking for a little help with their wardrobe and style. She is professional, friendly and very efficient. She has a great energy about her. After spending only a few hours together, I knew I made a great choice and made an amazing new friend. She even emailed to wish me luck on my first day of work! Love the personal touch she provides.
