I decided to work with Dina after multiple pregnancies changed the way my body is shaped and left me with a wardrobe of 'placeholder' items like stretchy, cheap tank tops, tees and leggings that I told myself were 'just for a little while'... until that 'little while' got to be too long for me to wait any more! I was no longer available to wear poorly fitting, unflattering clothes and Dina was the perfect person to help me reboot my entire wardrobe for work, date nights and mothering. I chose the "Share the Fun" package and shared it with a friend. We both adored the entire process from start to finish. Dina is SUCH a pro and I am thrilled with what she provided. First, she sent over a questionnaire and a Pinterest link so we could share what we're looking for, what we love, what we hate, etc. This provided a lot of clarity for me right out of the gate. Then, we met with Dina at her office in Lower Manhattan, where she provided all the info we needed to start our wardrobe reboots: color analysis, color swatches to shop with, shape analysis, ideal garment shapes (e.g., A-line skirts, 3/4-length raglan sleeves, a rounded neckline that falls at a certain point), which textures and patterns and line types are best for us, our 'style personality' (which we used as a basis for a coherent wardrobe that can easily be mixed and matched)... We decided to split our package into two days, so a few weeks later, after we filled out a shopping list (garments we want/need, the priority level for each one, price range we're willing to spend), we met with Dina again, this time at Saks Off 5th. She had pre-shopped for us and found some total steals, including a handful that I wouldn't have noticed on the rack but that looked AMAZING on me. Oh, and there was a sale, so everything was an extra 20% off. And she got an extra 15% off on jeans. AND she got 15% off on two bouclé blazers that had minor, totally repairable pulls and a silk cami that had a minuscule pull on the back (I planned to only wear it with blazers, anyway). My friends know I can suss out a great deal, but this was BEYOND. Between the sale, Dina's know-how and her keen eye, she saved me thousands. (Note: We had originally planned to go to Karen Millen (where Dina gets 20% off), too, but the sale at Saks led us to focus there for the best value on our purchases. I think she normally has people go to a few places, but in our case, it made sense to stick to Saks.) I picked up 2 blazers, 2 dresses, 2 dressy tank tops, 3 pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of jeans, a pair of sunglasses and a gorgeous suede capelet. Everything is excellent quality. Brands included Karl Lagerfeld, Alice & Olivia, Burberry, Hudson, Vince, Frame & Rebecca Taylor. Dina's strategic planning was perfect: I left with all the basics I needed, plus some delightfully unique pieces, too. My total was only ~$1300 (way under my budget for the wardrobe reboot). My savings were ~$2500. In other words, her work paid for itself right away. Plus, now I know exactly what to look for whenever I shop, making my process easier and saving me from missteps along the way. This is one of the wisest investments I've ever made. I only wish I'd done it sooner! Dina knows exactly where to go, what to pick up off the rack and how to get the best quality at the best price. After working with her, I feel confident in my wardrobe and my ability to select new items in a way I can't remember feeling in years. If you're considering a wardrobe reboot (especially for a style change or a post-pregnancy shift), I highly recommend Dina as your trusted guide through the entire process. I think you'll be just as thrilled with the results as I am! read more

I highly recommend Dina, the owner of Modnitsa Styling, to anyone who wants to better understand their personal style or finally feel confident about getting dressed every day. I had two sessions with Dina, and they were incredibly valuable. During my color analysis, she helped me discover that I wasn't a True Winter as I had always believed, but a Spring. That insight completely changed the way I look at color, and I was delighted to discover a palette that feels much more vibrant, fresh, and fun. Our style consultation was equally thorough. Dina took the time to understand my body proportions, lifestyle, personal preferences, and the types of clothing I naturally gravitate toward. She explained what works best for my body shape and why, giving me practical guidance that I can actually use when shopping and putting outfits together. One of the things I appreciated most was the thoughtful preparation she asked me to complete before our session. The exercises encouraged me to reflect on what I truly enjoy wearing, what inspires me, which clothes I would never wear and why, and even the styles I admire but haven't known how to incorporate into my wardrobe. That self-discovery process was just as valuable as the consultation itself. Dina also provided practical shopping recommendations tailored specifically to me and introduced me to several clothing brands that I wasn't familiar with before. Those suggestions have made shopping much easier and more enjoyable because I now know where to look for pieces that truly fit my style. What impressed me most throughout the entire experience was Dina's exceptional attention to detail. She is incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in helping her clients understand themselves, not just their wardrobes. The genuine care Dina puts into helping women feel confident and look their best is truly remarkable. What she does is so much more than styling clothes. She helps people see themselves differently, and that is an incredibly valuable gift. If you've ever stood in front of a closet full of clothes and thought, "I have nothing to wear," or if you're just beginning to define your personal style, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Dina. Her expertise, patience, and personalized approach make the experience well worth it. read more

Dina is simply amazing! Competent, fun, creative, it's been a pleasure to spend 2 afternoons with her. We started with a color and style analysis. She introduced me to this completely new world for me and gave me tons of hints I will certainly use for my future shopping alone :) She also gave me a color palette and a style booklet that we customized together for me. The 2nd day we went for shopping. She already pre-shopped for me, so clothes were already waiting for me in the fitting room (which I loved as I hate to go through clothes and racks in the stores), she composed a few outfits for me. We had a lot of fun, she's spontaneous and honest and when something didn't look good, she was the first one admitting it. So she never forced me to buy something "fashion or stylish" that I didn't like or that didn't look good on me. And I appreciated this a lot. It's been overall a great experience that I'll surely repeat next time I go to NY, likely in fall/winter. Thank you Dina!!! read more

As a filmmaker and photographer, image is obviously very important. I need have self-confidence in my appearance so that my clients can feel confident as well. Dina spent hours with me getting to know who I am and what my goals were. She and I had gone through my closet to examine every piece of clothing I owned. During my color analysis, which was so insightful, Dina helped guide me to understand what colors worked for me and what didn't. Too often I was wearing things that washed me out and made me look and feel nonexistent. Today, not only do I wear the right colors, but I'm amazed to see what a difference it makes and how confident I feel. Dina also worked with me on what I need to wear for specific situations. Whether working on set with clients, going to production meetings, networking or just out to dinner with friends. I totally recommend Dina. She is very patient, knowledgeable and has great taste.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Dina and could not be more pleased with the results of my Style Report. After a cross-country move and a job change, I was struggling to find my personal style. Dina's comprehensive report transformed my wardrobe and helped me feel more confident. The report was incredibly detailed, offering personalized tips on the types of clothes that suit me best. She provided insightful ideas about my personal style and recommended stores and clothing pieces that both aligned with my preferences and encouraged me to try a few new things. Her expertise helped me create a more authentic, polished look. I highly recommend Dina to anyone who wants to gain clarity on their style identity and elevate their look. Her professionalism, creativity, and personalized approach make her an incredible image and fashion stylist. Thank you, Dina! read more

Getting dressed in the morning was always a bit of a chore for me; I could handle the basics, but when it came to preparing for a casual client meeting, or a new date I was lost. Dina's approach really helped me change that. After she figured out my color range, she worked with me to find my own look (who knew I had one!) and we even mapped out some go-to outfits for different occasions. I'll be honest, at first I was a little unsure about getting my colors done (guys don't care about colors, right?), but it has made shopping and dressing so much easier. When I look at pictures of myself even from 2 months ago, it's a night and day difference. I've got to admit, I look damn good now :) Looking forward to taking the next step to tackle my closet with you next month, Dina! Thanks! read more

Had the BEST experience with Dina! Her warm, educational approach was just what I was seeking. She explained everything from an informed, researched perspective, and answered every question I had along the way. The analysis portion helped to set me up well for shopping, where she pushed me to try on and experiment with things typically out of my comfort zone (but that I selected). Her tips for personalizing and styling in different ways, using things I already had mixed with the new things, was truly informative. Her method was encouraging, but not pushy, and made the shopping experience efficient and effective. I have already applied her tips in just two days since we met and feel more confident with my style choices. I highly recommend Modnitsa Styling! read more

Dina is incredibly effective. Unlike most people who call themselves "stylists" or "personal shoppers", Dina is actually formally trained in this field. I was so impressed with her during our initial consultation that I immediately booked her for multiple services to help transform my style from "tired mom who only wears black yoga pants" to something more fabulous. She did not disappoint! With her help, I now feel like a much more stylish and refreshed version of myself. I look forward to working with her again in the future! read more

If you treat yourself to anything this year, make it a styling session with Dina! She is tremendously efficient, well organized and generous. I went in thinking I was getting my color palette, and left with a whole new understand of how to put myself together. The money saved by preventing fashion missteps will more than make up for any spent on this service. I highly recommend Dina, I only wish I had met with her 25 years ago! Do this for yourself. read more

"Dina put together my very own Personal Profile of Color, Style & Image. She gave my closet an overhaul, I tried on every piece of clothing I owned and she showed me what worked, what could work and what didn't work, from there a list of items to buy was made with recommendations. We went shopping for things on the list and the entire experience was extremely helpful, informative and worth every penny. She was the real deal!" read more

Working with Dina was a real pleasure! She helped me understand what colors worked best with my complexion and how to dress better for my body type. With her attention to detail and fashion knowledge, she worked through my closet meticulously - evaluating every piece to make sure it would make me look my best. Now when I get dressed in the morning, it's fun and easy! read more

I'm so glad to have connected with Dina, and the timing was really perfect. I was in the process of launching a new business and wanted to update my look -- as well as get out of my rut of wearing black all the time. Not only did she help me find colors that I'm now really comfortable in, she helped me refine my look to be both feminine and powerful. Thank you, Dina! read more

I cannot recommend Dina enough! She is a true professional with lots of experience and a knowledgeable background, but she also has that eye, that instinct for style and what works best based on you, the individual. You will not regret hiring Dina. In fact, like me, you may realize it was one of the best gifts to yourself you've ever made! read more
