s a stylist who truly

prides my business on

getting to know my

clients on a personal level in order to bring out each individual’s own unique personal style, I have curated a list of questions that I always ask during my consultations to dive deep into what it is that they want to emulate to the world through their fashion

choices. When

it comes to

homing in on

personal style it

is all about

finding what

works for you,

what makes you

feel like the very

best version of

yourself and what

clothes provides

you with comfort

and confidence to

be able to take on

whatever life

throws your way.

My number one

question is always…

“Who are your

style icons?”

I’ve been asking

this question for

so many years

that I’ve done

style presentations

(and even past

Fete Lifestyle

Magazine articles)

on the names that

consistently come

up with my clientele. Think; Kate Middleton, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Anniston, Jackie O to name a few. All of these fabulously dressed women have very different styles yet they come up over-and-over again when I ask the simple question of “Who are your style icons?”

The table was turned recently during a style podcast that I was a guest staring on and it really got me thinking. Who are MY style icons? I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the question

since. Thinking about this on a personal level has given me a breath of fresh inspo that I didn’t even know I was craving.

The most commonly mentioned ladies listed above are all style icons in their own right, for sure, but personally, I’ve never truly connected with any of their styles. I am constantly asking my clients questions to get to know their style preferences and instantly know what direction to go with pulling items off the rack based off of their answers, but don’t often dive deep into my own personal style preferences. Since my recent interview I’ve been inspired to really take a minute to think through who’s giving me all

the good energy and inspo this

season with their

looks.

I wanted to give you a

glimpse into my

current fashion icon

list. Some of these

women are newly

added and some have

stood the test of time

for me year-after-year.

They have very

different vibes but the

commonality I’ve

found is that they all

exude an air of

confidence, they dare

to take chances (albeit

on different levels)

and they all have a

touch (or more i same

cases) of edge and a

pinch of

bohemia all rolled into

chic, elegant and

effortless style that

feels attainable and

even more

importantly

realistic.

I invite you to take a

step inside the rolodex

of my personal style

icons of the moment

and if nothing else I hope this very simple 5-word question leaves you excited to start thinking about who really inspires you to exude the most authentic and confident version of YOU!
