my goal is to implement a deeper understanding + connection to the clothes you choose to put on every day, that resonate with + encourage you to show up the way you want to be seen in the world. I’d also like to transfer those findings into your home, and homes away from home, by beautifying + personalizing spaces that are important in your life. (ie. homes, offices, businesses)
different ways you can connect + work with me:
- book a free 30 minute call
- book me for a consultation
- invite me into your life as your stylist
- let me shop signature for you
- rent my closet
WOMEN. all ages. all shapes. for all occasions.
who:
- want to add more layers to their look
- want to develop a deeper sense of themselves and their personal and/or professional style
- want permission to play with their wardrobe
- want to nerd out about colour + print combinations
- aren't afraid to accessorize
- want help when it comes to curating a new look for a specific event (ie. job interview, vacation, date, wedding etc.)
I want to work with what you already have, always focusing on what can be recycled first. if we get to the point where we feel the need to add certain pieces to complete or enhance your look, I have a strict rule of only shopping at local boutiques and/or second-hand shops. I try not to support fast fashion by choosing to support local + independent designers instead, as well as proving that you can find super cool thrift pieces.
we all get dressed every day. why not make it a fun process, and allow it to enhance how we feel about ourselves and how we present ourselves to the world? fashion can seem trendy and ever-evolving, but if you choose pieces that make you FEEL good, you will LOOK good. (and when you look and feel good, you DO good.)
I studied fashion + costume in school. I've worked in retail, creating window displays + dressing mannequins. I've worked in film, curating wardrobe + set design. I've collected many valuable lessons in style + styling throughout my academic + professional endeavours. but most importantly, I know the joy that bringing together the perfect look, for the perfect occasion (or no occasion at all), can bring. I've deeply thought about what creates that magic and why it feels so good, and I want to provide that for other women.
