The Covid 15 : After almost 2 years of wearing stretchy pants, working from home, clients were preparing to head back to the office at least a couple of times a week. The realization comes, we've gained the covid 10-15lbs and nothing quite fits the same, Insert stylist, were I was able to style these clients with a capsule wardrobe, having them feel comfortable and elevated in outfits that fit their current shape/size, ready for the office. Business to Business Casual: Again with the shift of going back to the office, numerous business professionals shared with me that their companies, firms, offices etc had changed the dress code. What once was a formal office attire is now business casual.

Transitional Fall Fashion What does transitional fashion mean? Simplify your wardrobe, have pieces that create full outfits that will take you from daytime office to evening out. Or more importantly seasonal transition pieces for those in between months, when the weather has a mind of it's own.

The transition pieces work wonders during this time. I want to share with you my top style picks that can get you through (September/October) with out overhauling your wardrobe ...

Personal Stylist | What’s Your Personal Style?

What's Your Personal Style? September 13, 2019 Can you think of 3 words that would describe your style? I'd describe my personal style as minimalist, clean & effortless. I'll give you a few to help out ~ Cool, Polished, Classic, Relaxed, Edgy, Simple, Bold, Quirky, Understated... Do any of these words resonate with you? If not, it wouldn't surprise me if you're thinking 'I'm on this website right now trying to find someone to help me define my personal style!' You may be someone that once had a personal style but as time goes and life changes happen you may have lost your style. Or you may be someone who has never been able to define a personal style for yourself. Take the first step, start by looking at styles you gravitate to, apps like Pintrist & Instagram can be helpful or think about store brands & celebrity styles you may have liked at some point. Start saving some images and you'll begin to see a trend in style. It could be consistent colours, prints or fits that you're liking. (Tip - Clients often request these celebrities for style goals, Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mindy Kaling, Jennifer Aniston, David Beckham & Ryan Reynolds to name a few) Step 2, once you begin seeing trends and styles you like, start to go through

Fashion Stylist | BASICS

Fashion Stylist | Talking Basics BASICS – If you are challenged by building outfits and can’t find anything to wear in a full wardrobe, you’re probably missing the basics! I can’t stress enough how important it is to have quality basics within your wardrobe. As a personal stylist I schedule to meet clients twice a year. (Spring/Summer & Fall/Winter) The first shop, regardless of the season is almost always focused on building basics into their wardrobe. Why? If you’re trying to create a capsule wardrobe or put together outfits and you don’t have that perfect T to layer, a great fitting jean, a classic blazer for day-to-night, then you probably will be unable to pair any of your non-basics pieces. This often happens because of impulse buys or discount and sale items, clothing that you may think you love but never know how to wear it. Check out images of the must-have basics I would suggest for your wardrobe below…. for both the men and women. STYLE TIP I’m a firm believer in quality over quantity, especially for basics. These are items that you will be wearing most often! You don’t need to break-the-bank account, just be mindful to invest a bit more in quality to ensure they last. Think ‘price-per-wear’ Stick to neutral colours for basics, white, navy, black, gray, beige etc.

Style Tips For Spring

Style Tips For Spring Having trends in your wardrobe or trying to be trendy isn't always the answer to being stylish or fashionable. I like to suggest that clients first focus on a well rounded wardrobe that doesn't evolve around trends, basics & investment pieces are much more important. That being said, regardless of how minimal your wardrobe may be, having elements from current trends is important to add in a foundation or capsule wardrobe to keep your style fresh & updated. Keep in mind some trends stick around for awhile and can often be considered investment pieces, but I wouldn't suggest packing your closet every season with all the current trends. Remember not every trend is for everyone! Check out some of my favorite style trends for Spring 2021 below. Updated Trench Coat The classic trench coat is getting a do-over this season with new details to elevate the style. Keep an eye out for bold shoulders, cinched waists and over-sized cuts giving lots of movement to a traditionally structured spring coat. Strong Shoulder & Puff Sleeve By no means am I saying the 80's shoulder pad is back! But a strong shoulder is for both casual or dressed-up. You will find sweatshirts

Fashion Stylist | The Most Requested Look For Male Client’s

Fashion Stylist | The most Requested Look For Male Clients A good number of Mabelle Style's clients have a professional or business background. In regards to our male clients, I find they often work in a job that requires 'minimal' time wearing suits, but they still are required to maintain a professional look. Insert the sports jacket. This has been a go-to look for a large percentage of my clients due to the fact that they are able to wear it to work as well as make it cool for evenings out. When I styled this photo shoot I was excited to share some pictures of this look, so often requested. Style tip * Make sure you find a sports coat that fits! Meaning, have some shape at the waistline and the fabric should have some 'give' to avoid feeling constricted when you do activities or when driving. * Dress up the sports jacket by adding a dress shoe or give a cool casual vibe by investing in a sneaker, such as this pair of Goodman sneakers.

Fashion Consultant | My Spring Personal Shopping List September 13, 2019 Each season I create a shopping list for myself with what I need (and a couple of wants) to add to my wardrobe.
