Online Fashion Styling Package

Online Fashion Styling Package This year, Mabelle Style has seen an increase in requests for information on service and rates for Online Styling Packages. We have done virtual styling in the past, at a minimum as the majority of our business has been meeting clients in-person for styling & personal shopping. That being said, as the times have shifted this year we have continued to navigate our way through and improve this service a great deal! E-commerce sales continue to soar even though stores are back open (and yes we're working in-person with clients) But with the increase in e-commerce sales... it had me thinking, are people making more bad purchases & impulse buys, shopping online? It's so easy & accessible, shopping from your own home and how many emails do we get with sales or promotions now? (ALOT!) We want our clients to avoid those bad purchases and have wardrobes filled with items they not only wear all the time but also have complete outfits. That's why we have decided to update the Online Styling Package to a new flat rate, this service is now more accessible for all you online shoppers! Click here for more details on how the service works and the new rate. (If you were wondering... top right photo is of the original Mabelle, my late grandmother

Why Fashion Stylists Love A Good Blazer

Why Fashion Stylists Love A Good Blazer If you're following fashion stylist's, personal shoppers or an influencer you will notice they tend to have blazers on rotation for an outfit post, photo shoot or even their daily street style. You may ask yourself, why is a blazer so common with style guru's? You may be thinking it can be to formal or for a work event and not just not your personal style.

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 Stylist | 1 Spring Outfit, 4 NEW Looks

Fashion Stylist | 1 Spring Outfit, 4 NEW Looks One of the biggest challenges people have with their wardrobe is how to put outfits together. It can be difficult due to either having way to many clothes with-in the wardrobe, feeling overwhelmed not being able to tie everything together or they happen to be missing some key items that will pull outfits together with what they currently own. Or they just might need a brand new wardrobe.... whatever the case may be I like to suggest capsule wardrobes, when clients don't have an overwhelming amount of clothes but just enough to create multi-functional outfits. In my latest YouTube I wanted to share a fun Spring (trendy) outfit I added to my wardrobe but was able to re-purpose into 4 outfits. Check it out below! BACK TO BLOG LIBRARY
