My mission is to style my clients, help them feel more confident through what they wear and to help them love their wardrobe. It has been quoted, “Style is because your personality is not the first thing people see.” I want my clients’ personalities to come out through their outfits.

Everyone is different: different body shapes, different characteristics, different coloring and we all have different comfort levels. I have worked in retail for over ten years, and I have seen it all. I have the eye to know what looks right on a person while still having that person feel comfortable and confident. Growing up in an Italian household, I have always had a different outlook on clothes. They weren’t things you just threw on; they were pieces you cared for. Our things were tailored if needed and hand washed and we got a ton of use out of our clothing. We put thought into our outfits and it always showed in the total of complements we received while we were out. I look at all the items in my wardrobe as collection pieces. I don’t look at this way of thinking as vain or materialistic. I look at it as smart because, after all, Americans spend over 4% of their annual income a year on clothing. Wouldn’t you want to care for and get all of the use you can out of that clothing? I want my clients to feel the same passion I have for style. I also think of style as a way of presenting yourself, which is very important in all aspects of life. Style is the presentation of you which equals a mood or a vibe.

I know that clothes don’t make the man, or in this case the woman, but it really is about how you look most of the time. Think of how you feel when you meet a person’s home that is messy and hectic. Style is not important just for fashion, but also for interior design. You can style your home as well. With my background and schooling in interior design I will gladly give you tips and opinions for your home décor during our appointments. I am also happy to shop for home décor items to help your home look more stylish such as pillows picture frames lamps and more.
