Personal Shopping & Styling

FUN BEGINS WITH YOU OR WITHOUT YOU

SHOPPING FOR CLIENTS

Our personal stylist loves to shop! They organize your shopping list based on your needs , lifestyle and color scheme designed just for you. Their goal is to shop the specialty boutiques and luxury stores to find the perfect items that support your wardrobe plan and lifestyle.

Your stylist will follow the shopping list that she created for you!

A fitting and personal styling session occurs after your closet makeover and personal shopping are complete. Typically, this requires two appointments, one for a fitting of your new purchases, and one for styling. During the first appointment, we will bring in all of our purchases for you to try on and evaluate fit. If alterations are necessary, we will fit and pin the garment to you and send them off for alterations. An additional fee will be charged for alterations.

• Present the new items that supports the client’s wardrobe – based on the specifics of your shopping list
• Conduct a professional fitting. Your stylist will determine if any alterations are needed and will pin accordingly. Alterations will be taken to the tailor and returned upon completion.
• Determine which items need to be kept, returned or exchanged. All items brought to you from the personal shopping trip will be tried on for proper fit. If the item is the wrong size or unflattering, items that do not meet approval will either be exchanged or returned.
• Decide any additional items required to complete the wardrobe; creating a new final shopping list. Once our stylists begin to fill in the pieces of your wardrobe’s missing elements, other items are often needed to pull the look together. A belt, jewelry, a new bag, a light sweater – these finishing pieces will be shopped for to complete the new looks.

Final Appointment

For the final appointment, your stylist will bring in your new purchases, complete with any necessary alterations or size exchanges, and begin coordinating these new items with items already existing in your wardrobe. If everything fits perfectly the first time, this second appointment may not be necessary. Your stylist will put together at least 30 outfits complete with shoes, handbags and accessories. If you have any special events coming up, be sure to let your consultant know so we can coordinate special outfits accordingly.
