Sometimes I feel like my job as your personal stylist and fashion friend is kind of like the role of that mom who breaks up the teen parties. She means well, but she’s not a lot of fun. How many times have you seen a printed item shared in the Facebook group only to hear […]

I’ve built hundreds of capsule wardrobes for hundreds of different women in my 15 years as a personal stylist.
