It is my dream that someday soon everyone will work with a personal stylist at least once in there lifetime. Perhaps I am biased because I am a personal stylist but if you think about it, the idea isn’t completely far-fetched. A large part of the population has (at least once) worked with a personal…

This past weekend I hosted my first ever Personal Styling 101 class at School of Style. The class was a huge hit! Thanks to all of the students who attended. I was overwhelmed (but in a good way). I seriously thought that only a handful of students would attend but boy was I wrong. There…
