As a personal stylist for women, I get VERY excited with changing seasons. As a person living in the Pacific Northwest, I love my green surroundings but that doesn’t stop me from being a superfan of spring and summer.

As a personal stylist based in Seattle, I’ve spent over a decade deep in women’s closets. The initial tour of a new client’s belongings includes an overview of her pieces including and inevitable comment about belts. She either has a zillion of them in a drawer that she doesn’t wear or doesn’t have any. Regardless, a surprisingly high percentage of women feel that they lack some sort of expertise when it comes to styling a belt and that they are interested in my guidance on the topic. With many things related to fashion and style, clients often feel that they didn’t get the memo and are ready ..read more

Vienna based designer. Shop small. Sheer white t-shirt available up to size Large. Opting for showing your undergarments (especially on the bottom) is a choice for sure. Opt for pairings that make you feel confident and comfortable. Sheer on the top is the best entry point for this trend if you are feeling apprehensive. As a personal stylist for women I am always on the hunt for new trends.

So, when we see trends that work on a runway and ..read more

I spend a great deal of my life transporting clothes. And hey, if you aren’t familiar with Ridwell, it’s glorious! You can recycle your plastic film, styrofoam, batteries, textiles and more right outside your front door! We’ve had it for years. Before I became a personal stylist for women, I loved clothes. I had an ever evolving wardrobe and would vacillate between joyful exuberance and overwhelm as I’d feel guilty for spending money, using resources, consuming, you get the idea. Then, I’d buy some new pieces and the cycle would start again. This eternal inner conflict was a driving force in ..read more

    Welcome to yet another super rainy winter, Seattle-ites. As a personal stylist for women based in Seattle, I have over 20 years of experience getting dressed in the rainy city. A very high percentage of my personal styling clients are recent additions to the Pacific Northwest and although they are enthusiastic about the city, they tend to me flummoxed by the thought of getting dressed in anything but a North Face parka. That’s what I’m here for. With another Atmospheric River upon us, it’s time for more guidance on dressing for the weather without sacrificing style. After all, f ..read more
