Client Testimonials
"I did the "Complete Overhaul" with Alice and it was a great experience. Alice "liberated" my closet of about 90% of its contents (I was obviously in need of a style/size intervention!) and then we proceeded to start to build a new wardrobe and also work on my hair and make-up. Alice encouraged me to show off my figure rather than buying clothes in sizes that hid it as I had unintentionally been doing, and she also helped me to be more hip in my clothing choices. We had some ups and downs--I was not always in agreement with choices she made even though she was more than likely right--but she was extremely patient and had a good sense of humor throughout. I was very impressed with how much time she spent with me, as well as the time she spent answering numerous e-mails (which she still does even though the Complete Overhaul is now done). She even came to the salon we chose for my haircut and color and was there for most of the process (I thought she was just going to drop in for the last 10 minutes or so). I would highly recommend Alice to anyone, male or female, who is ready to change/improve their appearance. She will help you look your best in a relaxed and fun manner that you will wish could go on forever as I do"

"Recently I utilized the services of style consultants Stilista LLC and let me tell you, it was the best thing I have ever done for myself! The entire process was amazing and I now love my clothes, accessories and shoes. I felt I needed a new look since I have not been in the professional eye since before my daughter was born. My pre pregnancy shoe collection no longer fit as my feet grew an entire size. The only "professional" clothes I had in my closet were more of the funeral style and not fun to wear. The Stilista's were very highly recommended to me by a trusted friend. As I saw her style shine through in her new clothes as well as her confidence grow I decided to make the call. I found it so helpful to learn the "rules of fashion" for my body type. Now instead of shying away for being in the public eye, I now have clothes that I am comfortable and confident in. Oh, and did I mention I had never felt so pampered in my entire life. The shopping experience was such a treat and I felt so special. It is the nicest thing I have ever done for myself and I highly recommend you do it for yourself as well."

"Stilista is the best birthday present a girl could ever get! At first I was nervous - I'm young, and I thought I had good style already! Meeting with Alice was amazing, and it gave me a chance to talk to someone who really understands and knows fashion. She took the time to get to know me, to work out the kind of looks that I was going for (work and play and black tie!), and to address challenges and things that I wasn't sure about. Alice was able to help me get a better idea of my own body type and how to move from frumpy college grunge to young-professional flattering and funky! Not only did she work with me on creating a wardrobe of classic and colorful items that will never go out of fashion, she taught me things that I'll know forever, and provided amazing answers, ideas and references for every question and need I had. I don't know how I'll ever go shopping without her again, but she really went above and beyond to give me tools and ideas to take with me. I now feel comfortable in clothes that are exactly what I was hoping for, which is really a long-term gift!"

"Hire a stylist? Well, I had my doubts initially, it's so metro-sexual. But after meeting with Maria for the consultation, I was very much looking forward to a personalized shopping experience. I was really impressed with how prepared Maria was, and she was so detail oriented and attentive during the whole experience. It was the most pleasant and stress free shopping experience ever! It's so easy and quick to have someone professional right next to you, offering you an opinion right away as you try clothes on. Afterwards, I was very surprised how many ladies noticed my new look. I started to believe you are what you eat and wear. I am so looking forward to my Spring/Summer shopping experience with Maria next year!"

"I just recently got a job in an upscale automobile dealership selling one of the worlds best sports cars. I'm 39 years old and have never needed to wear a professional attire as my previous jobs did not require it. I contacted the team at Stilista in assisting me to create a new professional look. My shopping experience was easy and educational as I learned to mix and match to get the most use out of my new attire. I strongly recommend the team at Stilista as they are knowledgeable in understanding your needs and creating a certain look that you are trying to accomplish."

"I am a business professional and lately (for the past 2-3 years) I've been feeling uncomfortable with my professional attire. I had a hard time picking my wardrobe and most of my clothes were outdated. I hired Stilista to help me. The biggest reason I used Stilista was because the stylists I met were very knowledgeable in every aspect of today's style. My stylist (Alice) did a wardrobe analysis and helped me understand why and which piece of clothing in my closet are outdated and what I should look for in the future that will complement my body type. The stylist spent several hours on my closet analysis and then took me shopping. I thought the whole process would be painful but it proved to be educational and I got some great clothes as well. I would like to thank Alice at Stilista for her help and expertise. I feel that I made the right decision hiring Stilista for what I thought was an impossible task. This was actually a great learning experience for me. Thanks again!"

"I am in my early 50's and a new grandmother, and I started to feel like I was losing my sense of style. I have always loved clothes and shopped a lot, but a lot of my purchases ended up not being worn, or being returned. I am a manager in the financial industry and many of the people I work with are young and hip, so I decided to get help from a professional Fashion consultant and called Stilista. My stylist Maria helped me to figure out that my big issue was seeking out the right fit. I am a petite so I learned a lot about where to shop and how to rely on alterations. Maria also showed me how to put together different pieces from my existing wardrobe and many of my older garments are getting a new life. After compiling a well though-out list, Maria took me shopping and showed me what to buy and where. The shopping trip was so productive because every store we went to carried things that were right for my body type and fashion preferences. After consulting with Maria, I feel much more put together, and it is much easier to get dressed in the morning. I also find that I am not wasting time or money on clothing purchases that are just not right for me."

"I am a 26-year-old schoolteacher with a difficult figure to dress and a limited budget. A few months ago I needed to find a dress to wear to two weddings that was within my price range and that would fit my curvaceous body. I have always had difficulty finding dresses that appropriately fit both my body and style, and shopping can be very frustrating for me. I therefore decided to seek assistance from a Stilista style consultant. My personal stylist, Alice, did a wonderful job helping me find a dress that was perfect for both weddings. She brought me to great stores that had the fit, styles, and prices I was looking for. It was exciting and fun shopping with a professional stylist, and I learned a great deal about finding styles that flatter my figure. Once I found the perfect dress, Alice helped me accessorize with shoes, jewelry, and a purse. I felt beautiful, confident, and fashion forward at both weddings, and many other guests complimented my attire. Not only had I found a beautiful outfit; I also had fun doing it! I was thrilled with my Stilista experience and would recommend Stilista to anyone in need of professional advice and assistance in any fashion endeavor! Thank you, Stilista, for helping me find the perfect outfit for both weddings and for helping me recognize how I can best flatter my difficult figure!"

"While getting dressed for work or to go out, I would have only a few options of clothing that I really liked, and many days I would settle for wearing something that I didn't look great in, that was just passable. Even clothing that I had recently bought either didn't seem to fit right or wasn't quite appropriate. I'd rather send an email than see somebody face-to-face.
Stilista style consultant Maria helped me understand how to get a proper fit, and made me a list of items every man should have in his wardrobe. In a short time, I was already feeling better about clothing. Maria's advice went way beyond vague recommendations; she had the professional approach of an expert, and a ton of practical and concrete advice.
I had been weary of calling a "Style Consultant" because I didn't want to be transformed into a cowboy-boot wearing metrosexual. But all the advice was appropriate, and I feel completely comfortable. It's no exaggeration to say that I feel much more confident at work, and I've actually been going out more since using the service. I realize that dressing well is a skill like any other, a skill I'd never been taught. Simply put, hiring Stilista was the best investment I've made in a long time."
