Transforming Wardrobes, Elevating Confidence


A little bit about me, and why I am passionate about helping others with this area of their lives.
I have worked in formal wear helping men and women find the perfect suit or dress for weddings, pageants, galas and events. I have also worked in retail with quiet luxury, and other styles. I have a bachelors of science degree from USC. Over the last 20 years, I have decorated, designed or remodeled homes, in the US, Hawaii, South America, Malaysia and New Zealand. While helping friends and family with their wardrobes. I have always loved design and have a strong sense of aesthetics. More recently after working in fashion, I was motivated by some of my clients to offer more personalized in home services. So i decided to go back to school and become certified as a personal stylist and Image consultant from The Style Academy International. I have also worked with cosmetics and skin care, such as Merle Norman. I have seen how finding clothes that you look good and feel good in can change your life. It inspires confidence, which resonates to all areas of life. Whether it is helping someone find an outfit for a special occasion or a full life make over, I feel like I have a varied and unique skill set that allows me to be of service in these areas. I have done "New life chapter make overs" that include a new or updated wardrobe, skin care regime, hair style, bio/profile pictures & text, also home interior updates.
Helping people find their authentic style, get that new job or promotion, get back out on the dating scene, spice up their relationship, or start a whole new chapter. This is what i am here to do. It brings me great joy to be even a little part of this kind of transformation. Self care is self love. We all need more love.
Mission statement:
One of my goals is to make shopping for clothes and accessories part of your comfort zone. I would like to help you find and express your own unique personal style. For you to feel at ease and confident in your clothing choices, knowing that you now can find, the styles, cuts, lengths and colors that flatter your body type and express your personality. My hope is that you will have fun doing it!
For those of you that prefer to skip the shopping trip and instruction, I am more than happy to choose the most ideal outfits for you, whether it is for an event or a whole new wardrobe, there is nothing I would enjoy more than finding those outfits that you look and feel the best in. So, you can be your most confident, and relaxed self.
One example is: I can create a wardrobe for you with 10 items of clothing, 3 accessories and 3 pairs of shoes that are all interchangeable to create 30 different outfits. You will be able to go from relaxed, to business casual, to a night out on the town with ease. No stress about what goes with what. This is what is called a capsule wardrobe, it can be paired down or expanded depending on your needs and desires.
In the long run you will save money, time, stress, declutter your life, increase your knowledge base and confidence. The benefits of having your own stylist are many and no longer just for the rich and famous.
Love it or hate it, your clothes tell a story about you. Which probably makes it worth putting in a little effort to choose the story You would like to tell. Style isn’t just about how you are perceived by others. It is about your self-expression and how you feel in your clothes. Style really is a form of non-verbal communication.

what you want to say…”

It was worth every penny! Shopping is now in my comfort zone. Thank you for teaching me about my body shape, styles, and how to put things together. But also for giving me the information and confidence i needed to shop well for myself! teach a man to fish. I wish I had met you years ago.

We booked a New Chapter make over with Marilyn, for our brother who went through a divorce and has been kind of a hermit the last 3 years. Together they went through his closet, they went shopping, she helped him write a profile for dating, took his picture and did some interior updates to make his home more welcoming, she also set up an easy skin care routine, helped pick new rims for his glasses and gave him hair style recommendations! I have not seen him this happy and confident in years. He has been on a few dates, he really looks great. Its nice to see him smile. He said that at first he was hesitant, but she was very easy to be with, had great suggestions and it ended up actually being fun. He is definitely starting a new chapter! I would highly recommend her!
