A little about me... I think my love of clothes started at a young age. I had a great barbie doll collection. My mother would sew clothes for them, so my barbies had quite a large wardrobe and more unique outfits than the ones you could buy in the stores. Fast forward 40 years and a successful friend was looking for someone to help her put outfits together. I didnt have any training in fashion and wasn’t sure if I could help her at all since she was successful and always seemed so well put together, but I put my hand up to help her out. I had so much fun going through her wardrobe and putting outfits together and then helping her shop for outfits for special event's she had coming up. Over the course of a few months, I realized many women don’t feel confident in how to put their ensemble's together and spend way too much time in the morning trying to decide what to wear. I eventually started a side business as an image consultant, going into people’s homes and helping them to reimagine their closets and put together outfits to give them a broader range of wearability to make their mornings less stressful when it came to deciding what to wear. Then the world turned upside down because of Covid, and I couldn’t go to people’s houses to help them with their closets any longer. I missed the interaction with people and helping them to come out of their shell when it came to their clothes. A first impression says a thousand words and most of that is based on our appearance and actions. It’s almost instantaneous. What do your clothes say about you? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you have to wear a 3 piece suit to make a great first impression. Make sure you’re well groomed, your clothes are clean and wrinkle free and you have a smile on your face and you’ll be fine. Having said that, quality clothes do make a difference. As an example, I strongly recommend splurging on one good $25 t-shirt rather than buying 4, $6 t-shirts as they’ll look like $6 t-shirts no matter what you to with them. Good quality is always a better option and it will last for many years, after many washes and when you tire of it (because it will outlive your sense of style), you can take a good quality piece of clothing to a consignment shop and still put a little money back into your pocket.

To get back on track...I had some time on my hands and decided to open a boutique in my house with it’s own entrance. This allowed customer's the ability to come in one at a time to shop which is something they were being denied while the world was upside down. Eventually I had a website built and I was able to open up to a broader range of women and I was able to start shipping all over North America. Women wanted to shop, they still needed clothes, the challenge was not being present to try something on. Isn’t that always the problem with shopping online? I would chat with my customers via different platforms to answer any questions they had and measure the “problem areas” so we could determine their size as I think we call all attest to the fact that not all pieces are sized equally. Once the world opened back up, I had this amazing opportunity to help women pick out clothes they look and feel fabulous in, even before they take them home. If they had a piece of clothing they bought on a whim and needed to find something to wear with it they could bring it in with them and I would help them to create an outfit they could feel comfortable and confident in. This has become the backbone of my business “helping women to feel confident” through clothes that fit well and compliment their body and style.

About 8 months ago Juanita Wilson of A Bold Beautiful Life reached out to me and came in to meet me to get a sense of the Boutique. I didn’t know it at the time but she was looking for someone to partner with for the fashion portion of the fashions shows she was hosting each season. We instantly hit it off, Juanita was just as passionate about helping women to feel better about themselves as I was, we just had different approaches which complemented one another. With Juanita’s background in modelling, we started doing a couple of sessions with her modelling my clothes for me to take pictures and from there we have become a dynamic duo. Juanita and her models make my clothes come to life. click to go to link
