I asked Katie to take a friend and me shopping so we could expand our wardrobe with a little more style. My friend and I are both 60+ in age. Prior to the shopping trip, Katie sent us a questionnaire, so we could provide information on where we wanted to shop, what we were looking for (including matching any items we already owned), what we didn't want (e.g., no sleeveless), and any other parameters (e.g., I wanted washable, no dry clean). When we went shopping, Katie was great at picking items that met our requirements and also expanded our horizons, so that we didn't fall into the trap of picking our usual old items. My friend and I both loved Katie's picks. The other thing I liked was her honesty. She told me if something looked good or didn't look good. When I wore the clothes that I purchased, I received many compliments. Katie has a great eye and I highly recommend her services.

I hired Catherine to help me clean out my closet. She not only cleaned out clothes that were not working for me anymore, but also decided what I needed to complete an outfit from pieces I had. I needed new pants and she helped me find two great pairs at Kohl's, of all places. We also shopped at Anthropologie and Nordstrom for mix and match tops. Catherine also showed me how, with a few simple alterations by a tailor, pieces I liked and just wasn't wearing could be revitalized. With that small investment at a tailor I have five tops back in rotation.

I always look forward to working with Katie! She has styled my outfits for special events and photos, as well as the outfits of models I have worked with on photo shoots. She is very experienced, professional and organized. She knows what she's doing and you can trust her eye for style! She always makes me feel at ease and comfortable trying on clothes and working through my options to find the most appropriate outfit for the occasion. She's good about taking photos of each look so I can remember what to wear day-of. It's so nice to have one less thing to worry about, especially when your image really matters in your line of work! Thank you, Katie!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    The process can vary depending on where we start. If we are starting with a closet audit, I'll get to know you pretty quick based on what you have hanging up in there. If we are starting at the shopping stage, we'll likely prepare with a pre-shopping questionnaire. While it is possible to just use personal shopping services, I highly recommend starting with the closet audit.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I cut my styling teeth as a long time employee of lifestyle retailer Anthropologie. I rose through the ranks from sales associate, to manager, to the position I desired most, personal stylist. While on staff, I started freelance styling offsite with closet audits, personal shopping, and event styling. After 6 years with Anthopologie, it was time to venture out on my own with freelance styling. Since then, I have also styled photo shoots with professional models, photographers, hair stylists, and makeup artists.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Being born, raised, and based in the Bay Area, I have had the opportunity to work with a truly diverse group--from restaurateurs, technology professionals and teachers to lawyers, moms, and travelers. I have known clients who have height, who are petite, who are willowy, curvy, and athletic.
