Styling Services

Style Consultation {$50}:  Before I invade your closet, meet with me personally at a convenient location to discuss and evaluate your current style and image goals to create a customized style portfolio.   The portfolio will include your age, budget, image goals, sizes, body type, body insecurities, daily routines, skin tone, hair color, eye color, and fabric, color and style preferences.  We will also discuss which celebrities’ styles you’d like to borrow elements from and why.  The questionnaire will help indicate if you need to consolidate and prioritize your current closet or completely reconstruct your wardrobe.   Upon your request, the style consultation will be followed by a 2-3 hour Wardrobe Evaluation set at $150.

**Your customized style portfolio will be stored on file for future shopping and styling needs to help choose outfits that will highlight your best features.**

Wardrobe Evaluation {$150}: During the 2-3 hour Wardrobe Evaluation I will review all of your clothes, shoes and accessories to decide what items to keep, discard and donate.  Then we will collaborate outfits together based on your personal style to determine what your wardrobe lacks.  I will then compile an itemized list of pieces needed to complete your wardrobe.  Upon your request, the Wardrobe Evaluation will be followed by a 4-5 hour Personal Shopping trip set at $300.

Personal Shopping {$300}:  Following the personal style consultation session and a thorough wardrobe evaluation, I will act as your very own personal stylist to help relieve the stress and frustration of shopping on your own.  After securing your method of payment, I’ll do all of the heavy lifting for you.  I will shop at stores and boutiques myself to find the essential pieces needed to complete your wardrobe based on your personal style portfolio as well as the itemized list we created together.   Fortunately, due to my partnership with several local boutiques, I am able to conveniently snag items for you either on approval (items that boutiques allow me to take on a held receipt at no charge for you to try on at home), or pieces that can be returned for a full refund.   I will then deliver the items to your residence where we will try on and evaluate each item together to choose which items we should add to your collection or return. I will personally return the rejected items to the boutiques for you the following day. We will conclude the day by incorporating these new purchases into your wardrobe.

**This service is perfect for those who feel frustration in finding outfits alone, or for those who simply don’t have the time.**

Wardrobe Style Session {$150}:  During the wardrobe styling session, I will take 2-3 hours to efficiently evaluate your current wardrobe.  Similar to the wardrobe evaluation, I will help you distinguish between which items to keep, discard or donate.  I will also offer you style advice and friendly, yet honest constructive criticism to help transform your current wardrobe into a more modern look.  During this process I will ask you your image goals, body insecurities and daily routines to help indicate the type of outfits needed to fit your life style.  No new clothing will need to be purchased for this service.  We will simply pair outfits together that boost your personal style using the clothes, shoes and accessories that you already own.  I will also help you style those items that you’d like wear differently, more frequently or that piece you’re dying to wear but just don’t know how. My goal is to maximize your outfit options and mold what you already own into a more chic and sophisticated wardrobe.

**The entire process will be documented along with pictures of your new looks for your reference.  This service is perfect for those on a budget who just want to freshen up their look.**

Special Occasion Shopping {$50 + additional fees}:  Special Occasions include vacations and formal events such as weddings, engagement parties, balls, showers etc.  Simply contact me about the specific event to further discuss pricing according to your individual needs. A $50 consultation fee will be included with this service.

Good Mornings readers!  Immediately upon receiving this Amanda Uprichard dress I pictured a formal outside summer wedding.  I can see this stunning silk ruffle maxi making a hit at a beach wedding or a formal summer event with nice outside setting.  Not only is the dress beautiful, feminine and bright, but the light weight material is also practical to help beat the summer heat.  My favorite part of of the dress is the detail to the high low hem that makes the dress flow behind you and sweep the floor while you walk giving you that perfect poised and elegant look.  Oh, and how about that beaded collar necklace from Forever 21!!  Can you believe it’s only $14!  What a steal!  It’s just the right piece of jewelry the dress needs to have all eyes on you!

Good Morning readers, how adorable is this silk sleeveless Amanda Uprichard dress?  Remember a while back when I mentioned an upcoming collaboration with Amanda Uprichard?  Well, this dress arrived along with three other great pieces that she sent me from her Summer 2012 collection.  This bright green silk dress can easily transition from day to night and from working in the office to a night out with the girls just by adding the right accessories.  For laid-back day time look, add a neutral colored wedge, some fun bracelets and a simple necklace.  For a sophisticated work look, pair the dress with some nude pointed-toe pumps, a cropped white blazer and a bold face watch.

 I’ve already worn and posted about the silk taupe V-neck tank that she sent, which is an essential item to a woman’s wardrobe.   Check out the photo below to see how I styled the AU top for the NOLA Fashion Council Baubles and Bloggers Brunch.

Get ready for more AU to come and get excited about the Fall 2012 Amanda Uprichard Giveaway to promote the relaunch of their new Web site hosted by Haute Off The Rack!
