After a year & a half of working/stuck at home you're now slowly coming out of the house and maybe even starting with a day or two back in the office or meeting clients face to face.

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.

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 | Capsule Wardrobe

Fashion Stylist | Capsule Wardrobe What does it mean to have a capsule collection for your wardrobe? As we become more progressive with the way we shop, focusing on sustainability, needs vs wants & ‘Maria Kondoing’ are closets. I hear a common question that ties back to these changes with fashion & style. ‘I want a capsule collection’ with-in my wardrobe. I think that could mean many different things for different people depending on what their personal style goals are. I will share 3 style tips on what a capsule collection means to me as a fashion stylist and how I tie it back to my clients wardrobes. Tip 1: Minimalist, owning fewer pieces in your wardrobe. Quality over quantity and most importantly you need the basics. Once you’ve got those you can then layer a few needs/wants each season to keep your wardrobe fresh & updated but still staying with-in the minimalist boundaries. You want to be able to see and love what’s in your closet. Check out my blog post on The Basics as that is a huge component to having a manageable wardrobe. Tip 2: Multi-functional outfits, paring down your wardrobe and creating outfits vs random items can streamline your closet. I’ve had clients that have asked for a two week rotation of outfits for work, which is great example of a capsule collection wardrobe. Once
