Five pieces to lose from your wardrobe. Five pieces to hold onto. Five pieces to add for an instant wardrobe update.
Keep:
Lose:
Skinny jeans Leather pants Leopard print anything Biker jackets Black and white prints
Boot cut jeans Aritzia blazer with rolled up sleeves Tunics and leggings Small shoulder purses Moccasins
Add: Sheer shirts Tailored blazers Sleek ankle boots Cobalt blue accessories Fall is my favourite time of year. I love it all, the coats, the boots, the sweaters. The fall runways were full of amazing fashion, from Philip Lim 3.1 to Proenza Schouler, it was evident that prints had taken precedent and leather details were everywhere. Part of my job as a stylist is to get to know my client’s lifestyle and find a personal style that works for them and their individual needs. From stay at home moms, to busy CEO’s, or artists with endless events, everyone wants a wardrobe that is easy, comfortable and stylish. I begin with wardrobe cleansing. I go through a wardrobe and see what works and what does not. Working alongside my client we eliminate items that are dated, too small, and never coming back in style. They try on pieces we like but may need changes, such as hemming, or perhaps we reinvent the piece
