personal shopping client to giving major shout-outs to designers and brands she

perspective on trends and style. Enjoy!
With 2016 currently in effect and fashion is
providing us more and more options each season, what are some of the trends
that are really catching your eye this year?
I’m so flipping excited to see metallic
making its way back for fall! Bring on the fringe, 70s boho chic inspiration,
pleated dresses/skirts, sequin floral prints, lightweight denim, halfmoon cross
body bags, lingerie slip dresses, and blown-out plaid!
What about the fashion trends of 2015? Is
there a look that you hope most women will finally let go?
Yes! I’m so over the cut-out dresses and
stacked rings. They all need to go!
You have an extensive background in personal
shopping and styling, so I can imagine how many different personalities you’ve
assisted. What type of client excites you the most when it comes to helping him
or her find that perfect outfit?
My absolute favorite clients to work with are
the women that don’t believe in shopping and don’t understand that personal
style is connected to their personality. I love teaching my clients how to shop
for their shape and how to build self-confidence skills through wardrobe
styling. It’s an incredible feeling to see your clients come back to you after
your shopping session to show you their new looks they’ve put together on their own, when they share compliments from their friends and coworkers on
their new looks, or when they refer you to others. It’s really a combination of
seeing their happiness and self-confidence shine in a different light. I feel
so lucky to have met and worked with such incredible women!

Do you believe that there is a difference
between “shopping cheap” and “shopping on a budget”…?
Yes – it’s all based on having a good eye and
rich taste.
How would you describe your personal style?
Romantic, chic, and edgy. I love my super
girly and flirty looks, however, you will most likely catch me wearing all
black any given day…with lots of leather and lace.
What do you feel are the biggest
misconceptions people have regarding the fashion industry?
I’ve heard too many people say “It’s so
fabulous and easy, anyone could do it.”
What are some of the fashion designers or
brands that you can always count on for fabulous pieces for your clients?
Oscar de la Renta will never let you down on
the red carpet. DL1961 are the best jeans a woman can own. Everyone should have
a black Theory blazer in their closet. A Burberry Kensington heritage trench
coat is a must. Nicole Miller makes the perfect cocktail dress – she really
understands a woman’s body shape. Stuart Weitzman makes comfortable and
beautiful boots and pumps, which are also a personal favorite. More bang for
your buck – Banana Republic always has some great jewelry finds, Zara for coats
and shoes, Luxury Garage Sale for one-of-a-kind pieces, and Sandro and Maje for
that everyday sophisticated look.
The 3 items that every women should own:
A leather jacket, trench coat, black leather pants, patent nude pumps, black
blazer – oops that’s more than 3!
