I was a little nervous/hesitant going into this, I've never really paid too much attention to my…read moreclothes. But my wife, who was a former client of Andrea's raved about the service and the results. And so I decided to give it a go, and I'm really glad that I did. Andrea is a joy to work with and a very cool human being. She is an expert at assessing the person, understanding their tastes and needs, and walking through the process. Great communication, too. The result is that I have a wardrobe that I really like (it feels like "me"), my wife thinks I look great and I'm getting complements at work. I also understand which colors are my friends and which to avoid. And for the first time, I would dare to say that I have adopted a sense of style. Only took 50 years :) Andrea is a pro, and what she offers is a true life upgrade. Do yourself a favor and give her a call. And this would be an extremely cool gift for your spouse or a friend in need of a little bit of "help". Thanks, Andrea. You're awesome.

Amazing experience! As a gift, my husband purchased one of…read moreAndrea's packages for me, and the two-step process was fantastic! We started in my home with a color analysis, body-shape analysis and style guide, and then we moved to my closet for the wardrobe edit! It was so helpful! With Andrea's help, I was able to make decisions on what to ditch (a lot! and NO regrets later as there were so many things that did not suit me, or fit me, that I had been hanging onto for who-knows-why), and what to tailor, and what to keep. It completely changed how I feel about walking into my closet. So much better! She then met me at Nordstrom and she had a fitting room ready with things to fill "gaps" in my current wardrobe, complete with shoes! She also made new "looks" for me with items in my closet and my new additions, with a super cool app I can refer to when getting ready to go out. Five stars completely! If you are thinking about it, do it!

Sydney was a dream to work with and helped me: -Purge clothes that were bad choices for my figure -Understand what looks good on me regarding fit, style -CREATED new outfits out of stuff I already had and would never have thought to wear together -Learn about new places to shop for both stretching your budget and for splurging -Save a ton of money by shopping with me and helping me buy the right things vs. things that would just later hang unworn in my closet Sydney is extremely talented and so gentle and kind to work with (critical attributes for someone who is watching you try on clothes!)

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've gone on and on about Thea since I first started working with her, so I figured I'd get on Yelp…read moreand make it official. 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!

I confess, I have a problem. I'm a matchy-matchy dresser. I know how to pull together an outfit,…read morebut it's always super expected, not very exciting, and color matchy-matchy to the extreme. I decided to take a little risk and see if my style could be updated without having to get a whole new $5,000 What-Not-to-Wear wardrobe. Enter the most talented Jennifer Young. Jen is a Partner Stylist with Edit by Lauren. She came to my house for a one hour closet consultation. And whoa - this girl is GOOD! In our one brief, fast moving hour, she pulled together 21+ new outfits from the clothes in my closet that I would never have thought to put together, complete with shoes, accessories, and purses. Later in the day, I received a personalized photo collage so I could remember the combinations and the next day I received a shopping list, complete with online links, so I could get the few pieces I need to extend my wardrobe and make the clothes I have go even further! That was four days ago and I've never felt so fabulous! Each day it is so fun to pull out my pictures and get dressed with confidence. And my husband is a huge fan - it didn't require any new clothes to get 21 new outfits. He said I should have her out quarterly. I can't wait! And I'll also be hiring Jen when I need help with a special occasion outfit or a travel wardrobe. One more thing - Jen is delightful to work with. She was fun and professional, incredibly encouraging - which is important when dealing with something so personal as someone's clothing - and she even helped me figure out how to wear a boxy, too-big-for-me 1980's Benetton sweater because she could tell I loved it and didn't want to part with it. Hire her - I promise it will be well spent time and money!

As the owner of a business in the interior design industry, it is especially important that my…read moreclients see me as "well-styled" when I arrive at their home for a consultation. Not always an easy task! I needed help in editing my closet--getting rid of things that no longer fit or had gone out of style. Then I needed help to confidently style outfits that would help me look my best every day. That's exactly what my afternoon session with Jen Young did for me. I've always had a pretty good feel for what looks good/flattering on me, but have lacked imagination in my dressing routine. Jen put together dozens of new looks for me, using what I already had in my closet, complete with accessories and jewelry. It has been a fantastic time-saver for me in my dressing routine, and the boost in my confidence is absolutely priceless. But just boosting confidence in one's appearance is only part of the benefit. Anyone who owns a business or is hoping to rise in their career path knows the importance of making the right impression. Purchasing a style session with Forever Styled is an investment that will pay long-term benefits. This is about way more than just looking good...it's about helping pave the way to a more successful career. Heads up, ladies! (and gentlemen!) Jen Young and Forever Styled is ready to help you "get your clothes on"!

Whether it's a living room or a bedroom, she knows exactly how to make it feel like home. One of the best things about working with her is how she helps us blend our styles. She really takes the time to understand what we both like and creates a design that feels like us--it's a perfect mix of comfort and style. She also has an amazing eye for design and a great sense of style. She can pick pieces that are both timeless and fresh, and she always makes sure everything looks great together. Plus, she's super flexible and easy to work with, which makes the whole process a breeze. If you're looking for someone who really listens to you and brings your vision to life, I can't recommend Brandy enough. She's the best!

Where to even start!…read more We bought a house in Travisso several years ago and came across Brandy. As you can imagine, after buying a new house it's necessary to watch your expenses. Brandy was instrumental in really showcasing the house and also watching our for our pocketbook!! Over the next few years we would upgrade different sections of the house which culminated with a state of the art smart home theater! How much did we enjoy working with Brandy? We moved to AZ, where we employed her again.! Showing her pictures of the house, we could decide on the theme, colors, etc. We brought her out for a few days for some decorating after having the interior painted. We did the same thing... after the initial design we have been remodeling portions of the house making it more modern, carrying on a largely coastal vibe. We've been doing this over live video chats as we showed her samples of slabs, different colors and so on! We are thrilled with the outcome. We have completed the renovation in the kitchen, guest bath and we are now finishing up the master bath which includes the build out of a walk-in shower. We could not recommend her any more highly! She is an excellent designer with a great eye for what flows together!

I was in desperate need of updating my wardrobe and building a clothing repertoire appropriate for business settings. Melissa from Meld came over to my home, helped me review ALL my clothes, clean out my closet, put together complete outfits appropriate for different settings (work/nights out, etc.), took photos of the outfits, and then she went home and sent a list of clothing and accessories that I should consider purchasing to complete the outfits. Melissa is personable and respectful--there was never an awkward moment--and she was capable of understanding my own fashion sense and translating that to a wardrobe that worked in today's fashion trends. She also was careful not to go too trendy, which I appreciated. Highly recommend!
