Finding a personal shopper or stylist is a delicate endeavor. It’s an intimate relationship of trust, guidance, and communication. It’s like anything you find important in life such as the right hairstylist, therapist, or car mechanic, the first few may not work out but once you find that connection you feel confident that no one could do a better job. I have spent many years in the fashion industry working in retail and can tell you the interactions I’ve had with my clients, customers, and associates have been invaluable. After meeting so many people and personalities, I can appreciate the awareness I have of the nuances, and energies of the human experience.

I understand how difficult it can be to find a stylist you trust. After working in luxury retail, on commission, I watched countless times as associates assured their customers how amazing they looked just to make a sale. Unfortunately, my strategy of being honest and wanting my clients to look and most importantly feel good was not as conducive to success. I never wavered And I knew

At the end of the day, I did the best for my clients, they looked good and felt confident.

The world has unexpectedly changed very quickly and we have adapted. However, it has affected every aspect of our lives, especially how we interact with one another.

The internet has been invaluable during these times, allowing us to see and speak with one another, continue working, and have most things delivered to the door. But this has come at the cost of losing the human element in life. People have different energies which I find more profound when I’m engaging with them face to face. Certainly, you can get a feel for someone on ZOOM or Google Meet, etc… but, the chemical reaction you naturally experience upon meeting someone new you like or when you feel threatened or in danger from someone, even without verbal exchange, is a sense you can only physically feel in the presence of another.

I know that even as we begin to get back to a version of our former lives, the convenience of the internet has changed the way we live. Making a true connection with someone is challenging, but possible. Don’t be discouraged, there are genuine people out there, they may be a bit harder to come by but are always worth the wait.
