As I step into a new chapter of my life, I knew I wanted to simplify--less clutter, less excess,…read moreand only keep what truly works for me. I'm not a natural shopper, so I went looking for a personal stylist who could help guide me through that process, and it quickly became clear that Ashley Rhodes was the right choice. Ashley is incredibly grounded, down-to-earth, and easy to work with. I wasn't looking for a high-end, spend-a-ton-of-money experience--I needed someone who could meet me where I am and work within my budget. Her packages made that possible by allowing me to spread things out over time, which made the entire process feel manageable and stress-free. During our sessions, Ashley helped me go through my closet piece by piece, offering thoughtful insight while always listening to my feedback. She paid close attention to what felt right to me, took notes, and created a plan that truly reflects who I am and how I want to show up in this season of life. What stood out most to me was how she made me feel. At no point did I feel self-conscious, judged, or "not enough." She has a calm, accepting presence and meets you exactly where you are--which made the entire experience not just helpful, but genuinely enjoyable. I'm so grateful for Ashley and her expertise, and I'm excited for the next step of working with her to build a wardrobe that truly fits me.

Working with Ashley Rhodes has been a life-changing experience. I sought out Ashley because I no…read morelonger had any clothes that fit well, my wardrobe was pre-pandemic (or older) and I needed a refresh desperately. I hate shopping, I have no aesthetic eye (I work in STEM!), and I just get overwhelmed in the mall, which leads me to buy questionable clothes online. What attracted me to Ashley was her professional demeanor, professional approach to her business, timely response, experience dressing professional women (esp. middle aged women) and warm but no-nonsense efficiency. After completing a survey form and creating a Pinterest board of my favorite looks, she came to my house prepared for the Closet Sort. Closet Sort opened my eyes because Ashley explained WHY some of my items worked and others did not. She opened my eyes to consider not just color, but also cut and silhouette, texture and weight, and proportions when putting together a wardrobe. I learned that shoes are part of an outfit! Ashley provided specific tips for petite dressing too. Shopping Day at the Galleria was a dream come true. We visited five shops and I found dozens of items, in my size and colors, magically waiting for me in the dressing room! I completed all the purchases to change my life in just 3 hours. Style Day was when Ashley put it all together and gave me dozens of outfit options using foundational pieces and accessories. She took pictures of each outfit that I can access through an app on my phone. She also taught me how to style with my jewelry and clothes, and how to take care of my clothes. I had a unique, personalized stylist experience that cannot be replicated by following YouTube style tips or Instagram hacks. Before I felt that I had nothing to wear, and now, I don't have enough days to try all the different clothing combinations that I want to show off. If you are like how I was in a clothing funk with no way out, and you a busy person seeking extreme efficiency, Ashley Rhodes is the answer! I would definitely work with Ashley again for personal shopping and styling.

I have known Val for two years and have worked with her at the Upper West Side boutique, bocnyc,…read morewhere Val often brought her clients before her move to Houston. The first thing I noticed about Val is that she loves her job. She is very passionate about her work and truly cares about her clients. As a personal stylist, Valerie is first and foremost an incredible listener. Her listening abilities allow her to get to know her clients deeply and quickly. Valerie gives her clients what they want, whether it be a full service wardrobe makeover, a few new additions to the closet, or a style education, Valerie handles it. Further, Valerie challenges her clients and gives them what they didn't know they needed. Maybe you never thought you could pull off that bright red and gold belt that you love, but Valerie can show you how to weave it into your wardrobe tastefully and effectively. After working with Val professionally, I can say certainly that any boutique in Houston would be lucky to have Val bring a client in for a shopping trip.

Wow! I'm not sure where to begin. I bookmarked Shop with Val on my computer about eight months ago…read more I just could not decide whether hiring a stylist was something I wanted to do. I finally decided to contact her. I am so glad I did! Valerie was very quick to respond to my contact form. We set up a time to talk on the phone. She was prompt with her call and chatted about her services and what I could expect from her. She sent me forms to fill out so she could learn a little bit more about me, my wardrobe and my needs. I settled on the package I would like; and we set up my first appointment, the closet cleanse. OMG! What an amazing 3 hours that was! Valerie was so friendly and so easy to talk to and work alongside. Through trying on lots of my clothes she was able to teach me how certain styles did not flatter my figure and which styles looked great on my frame. She took extensive notes about what I needed to fill in the gaps of my wardrobe as we purged and organized my closet. We have had two shopping trips that have been incredible. I have added back solid staples in my closet that I was lacking. Don't hesitate to hire Valerie with Shop with Val!

While I do feel like this is normal, it really was affecting my confidence with speaking because I am the owner of my company and would be speaking in a room full of people on how my company could help them. I needed my looks to reflect my work ethic and my company and what I wanted to project to others. Within meeting Kim, she was just so nice and had impressed me with doing research from my questionnaire . She showed me 3 looks she thought would work for me and why! Blew my mind that she was so prepared and the looks she showed me were exactly what I would want for myself! So I knew I wanted to work with her. From there, it's only gotten better. If your deciding to invest in yourself, use Kim- trust me you will not be disappointed she goes above and beyond!

She has a lot of connections with vendors and designers in the area. Kim managed to not only set up the fashion and coordinate all aspects of my shoot, but she managed to pull several strings and got me a complimentary hotel room, catering, and dessert to celebrate my birthday!!! I don't know how she did it, but she did and it really took my shoot to a higher level. I had such a blast. I will never forget it. I absolutely will hire her again soon to go through my closet LOL.

Outstanding Customer Service and Delivery!…read more I've always appreciated H-E-B, but my recent experience reminded me why good customer service matters so much. I had an issue with a grocery delivery last week that didn't go as expected. After contacting H-E-B, they promptly addressed the situation, made things right, and issued a refund. I especially want to recognize Kendall and Maria, who were instrumental in resolving the issue. Their professionalism, kindness, and genuine concern for customer satisfaction were greatly appreciated. Having a dependable grocery delivery service makes a tremendous difference in my everyday life. H-E-B provides a valuable service, and it's reassuring to know they stand behind their customers when something doesn't go quite right. Thank you, Kendall, Maria, and the H-E-B team, for going the extra mile. Your efforts did not go unnoticed, and you've certainly earned my continued loyalty. Five stars and a sincere thank you. Peace!

Dare I say it, this might be the best grocery store in the country. Maybe not objectively, but it…read moreis definitely the best grocery store I have personally been to, and I have been to grocery stores all over the country. This is not a high-end specialty grocery store like Whole Foods or Central Market. You are not coming here for 100 different varieties of asparagus water. What you are getting is an enormous, incredibly well-stocked grocery store with reasonable prices and basically anything you could ever imagine needing. I will say that this is definitely not the cheapest H-E-B. It is in a more affluent part of Houston, and the prices seem a little higher than some other H-E-B locations. But the selection, organization, and overall experience more than make up for it. The staff here are exceptional. I have been to this store during hurricanes and other chaotic times, and the employees operate like it is just another day. They are professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. If you ask where something is, they will help you find it. If you tell them you bought something here before but cannot find it anymore, they will actually try to figure out what happened to it rather than just shrugging and moving on. The H-E-B app also makes shopping here so much easier. The store is enormous, but you can search for almost anything and it will tell you exactly what aisle it is in and even roughly where in the aisle to look. And the selection is ridiculous. They have prepared meals you can throw in the oven, sushi, marinated meats ready to cook, a huge cheese selection, wine, school supplies, pet food, a full pharmacy, fresh tortillas being made throughout the day, and seemingly everything else you could ever expect a grocery store to carry. They are also constantly introducing new products and prepared foods, so there is usually something new to try. The only real downside is that this store might be too successful. It gets PACKED. The parking lot itself is well designed, but there are simply too many people trying to shop here at peak times. My rule is basically that if the parking lot is completely full, I probably do not want to go inside. The aisles are normal grocery-store width, so when the store is crowded you can absolutely end up in shopping-cart traffic jams. Thankfully, they have what feels like 25 checkout lanes, so even when the store is slammed, checking out usually moves surprisingly quickly. Overall, this is just an exceptionally well-run grocery store. Great selection, great staff, great organization, and almost everything you could possibly need under one roof. It is easily the best grocery store I have personally been to.
