The Personal Shopping List For Fall

  Why is it so important to have a shopping list when shopping for apparel?   Mabelle Style believes that you can avoid impulse buys, overspending, bad purchases and it can be a time saver when shopping in the stores.... if you prepare a detailed shopping list beforehand.   Before I shop with my clients, new or regular, we work together to come up with a shopping list for each season beforehand. As an option, I suggest a budget to the list for overall total and /or per item. No shopping list is one and the same, as everybody's needs are different. Recently, I did a poll on Insta stories asking who would like to see my personal shopping list for fall? I got an overwhelming response of YES! Keep in mind the list I prepared below is based off someone (me!) who shops a lot and enjoys it. (opposite of most my clients) which means I don't need many basics or a large number of items, mainly a few refreshers and trendy pieces.     Footwear ~ My favorite area is shoes, which can be problematic as it's the one section of my wardrobe I have too many. This season, my list consists of knee high boots to wear with both midi skirts/dresses and over a pair of denim. The style shown below is my fave (Tamara

Stylist | Style Tips For Mom’s

I am far from ever being a Mommy Blogger. As my knowledge and strength has always been in Fashion, that's what I stick to, with blogging, social media and most importantly, my work. With that being said, while this is a mom blog, it is focused on talking about styling your body after baby! Over the years I have received numerous inquiries from women needing a personal shop for a new wardrobe as their body had changed since having a baby. This is something I can relate to since having a baby two years ago. Not every mom is going to have the same challenges in styling. You may have become smaller after baby, stayed the same size but different shape, or have become curvier. It doesn't matter what has changed, my goal is to make you feel great and comfortable which means finding that perfect fit for your body type. Talking from personal experience, I was the same size but nothing fit the same! All my pants were too low and uncomfortable against my stomach. My back felt wider (how on earth did that happen?) and well lets be real, does anyone have the same upper body after babies? Here are some style tips that worked for me and my problem areas ... First off, I had to buy a lot of new pants ... they don't

Fashion Stylist | The Band Tee

  I would like to say that the band tee (a t-shirt representing a band ... usually from the 70's) is a trend right now but I think this look has become a staple in many wardrobes. It's an easy way to take a casual outfit and make it cool. You could style the simple T with jeans, skirts or even take the look to the office by adding a blazer (see below outfit.) I will say, be mindful of prices when shopping for this item as they can run from as low as $15 to as high as $100! Best places to shop for this look? Women's options, Urban Outfitters, H&M & Anthropologie and for Men Lucky Brand and John Varvatos.     BACK TO BLOG LIBRARY

Personal Shopper | Client Story

Lookbook photofrom spring / Summer Mabelle Style would like to share a client story from earlier this year, on the blog! Back in the spring, I had wrapped up a shop for a client that had wanted to do a big shop once she got to her most comfortable weight. This summer she was happy with her current status and was ready to build the perfect business and weekend wardrobe. The goal was to develop and build a work-wardrobe that didn't require a lot of items, we focused on multi-functional pieces. This included suits, suiting-shirts and sheath dresses on rotate, as well as the classic nude and black heel. After cleaning out her current wardrobe, we were able to begin from scratch. Co-ordinating shift dress was included in this 4 piece ensemble For weekend summer looks, I incorporated knit skirts with T's (as shorts were not a favorite for fit) and also included a few button up linen t-shirt dresses. Sneakers and easy slip-on sandals were added for footwear as well as a cute crossbody! Lookbook Photo A common goal for Mabelle Style clients is to look fashionable without trying, easy and effortless pieces that fit well. We will be shopping in the fall to include sweaters, boots, outerwear and other fall pieces into her wardrobe. Quantity isn't always the answer, sometimes it is about quality and classic pieces. The client had
