Stylish gifts to give and receive
Apparently I’m officially a hard person to buy a gift for (fake gasp).

The no. 1 reason you have nothing to wear (and a packed wardrobe)
Over the past 15 years I’ve edited hundreds of wardrobes as a personal stylist. In the last two weeks alone I have edited five. And, while every client is unique, they do have one thing in common… … they have a wardrobe full of clothes but struggle to find outfits they feel great in. When […]
