Here’s How Our 3-Step Instant Style System Works
- During your Instant Style Discovery Session, you and your Personal Stylist will uncover your current style challenges, needs, and desires; figure out how to incorporate the best trends and what’s cool now to define the perfect and most appropriate outfits for your wardrobe; teach you how to embrace color in your wardrobe – giving it an edge by examining and experimenting with your best colors, textures, and patterns; discuss your daily beauty ritual and identify your beauty talk needs; and provide you with a 5-Step Style Revitalization Strategy to totally transform your life.
- During your Instant Style Revival Session, we will take a look at your current wardrobe, evaluate what you wear now and how you wear it, and figure out what you should keep, remove, revamp, and re-accessorize to revive your wardrobe. This session can be focused on wardrobe cleansing and revitalizing. Or if you have great things and don’t know how to pull them together, let us shop + sort + style what’s in your closet. If you’d like a bit of both, simply discuss these details with your Personal Stylist so that she can create an effective Instant Style Power Plan for you.
- During your Instant Style Session, your Personal Stylist and Personal Shopper will search for designer steals and deals for you; incorporate high end, contemporary and/or street style fashion based on the results of your Instant Style Discovery Session + Power Plan that can range in looks from work, weekend, to events within your budget; then meet you for your private styling and shopping session to finalize your best looks with an assortment of clothing, shoes, bags, and accessories in a variety of styles and colors that seamlessly mix + match. Need help with undergarments and swimwear? We can select that too! You’ll walk away from this session with a digital catalogue of your own personalized collection of looks for your most important occasions. Once you’ve worked with our highly skilled Personal Stylists and Personal Shoppers, you’ll never be able to work with a department store personal shopper again and you’ll see that our stylists are well worth the investment.
