Personal Shopping/Client Styling Services
Don’t love shopping or just need some help? Need some new wardrobe items to help get that job or promotion? Have a specific event or invite that doesn’t match up to anything in your closet? Could you use some help defining your style and building your wardrobe selections? We’ll shop with you... or for you! We’ll scout out the pieces you need at the best prices, unearth those finds-of-a-century, and show you how it all works together. We’ll assess everything - your lifestyle, body type, age and budget - to make sure you get the best looks for you, and we'll do the returns for you. (2-hour minimum)
Closet Shopping/Image Consulting
Do you stand in front of your closet full of clothes and claim you have nothing to wear? We get it. You’re not alone. You need a fresh set of eyes... and that’s where we come in. We’ll review your wardrobe and help decide what goes, stays or could use some tweaking to maximize your investments. We’ll help sort out what should go to consignment to get you some extra cash and what should be donated. But most importantly, we’ll create fresh, brand new looks from what’s in your closet already, photograph it for easy recall and create a shopping list of what you'll need to help build your stylish wardrobe. (2-hour minimum)
Shopping Tourism
Heading to Los Angeles and want the hottest new looks? Book a shopping trip! We’ll meet you (or the group you're with) at your hotel or in a specific neighborhood for some shopping-like-a-local. Whether you’re looking for designer or local brands, vintage or just want to explore a specific shopping area, we’ve got you covered. You tell us what you’re looking for and we’ll create the shopping adventure!
These shopping tourism events can even include behind-the-scenes access and meet-and-greets with designers and shop owners, plus stops for lunch or catered drinks and food at specific destinations. (3-hour minimum)
Virtual Styling Services
Online Shopping
With my Online Shopping service, I will shop stores based upon your lifestyle and budgetary needs, and then compile a list of links to items that will help you round out your wardrobe. This service also includes the questionnaire, with a minimum of thirty links categorized to make it easy to shop on your own. We'll finish with a follow-up phone call or Skype chat to discuss what purchases you made. (2-hour minimum)
“Alison is a stylist who knows the trends, but isn't a slave to them. You won't look like every other girl on the red carpet, you'll be the best version of you!” —Emily Bergl, Actress, Southland, The Good Wife, Desperate Housewives
“I refer to Alison as my "Fashion Guru" because she taught me that fashion can be an expression of who I am and how I feel. Through Alison's guidance I no longer stress about what to wear; I make getting dressed a playful exercise in sharing who I am with the world! How great is that?! Thank you Alison!”
—Jesse Brune, TV Co-Host, Homemade Simple on OWN, Private Chefs of Beverly Hills on Food Network and Director of PSLA.org
"I can't thank you enough for hooking me up with Alison. She was absolutely wonderful. It's 11:15 on a school night and she just now left my apartment, culminating two full days of a complete Jenna overhaul. She came over, went through every article of clothing I have, took copious notes, took pictures, took me shopping to about 10 different stores...mixing, matching, putting up with my lack of knowledge, lack of style, lack of taste and still somehow managing to turn me into a mini fashionista. We found about 12 outfits, but with all the different accessories, and the mixing and matching and the different shoes, I have about 25 outfits. I feel really, really good about my living room floor right now (where all my clothes are currently laid out). She was fantastic! Thank you! I only wish we had done it as a shoot, because I honesty feel like I learned so much and our audience could, too. Since I could always use more clothes, I'm thinking maybe we could do a seasonal shopping spree with Alison? It would be informative (her part) and hilarious (that's where I come in)."
—Jenna Wolfe, TODAY Weekend Host & NBC National Correspondent
"I'm 6'5 and have always detested fashion since things are often too short, too wide or ill-fitting. Alison changed all that by opening my eyes to proper sizing, cuts and lengths—as well as knowing the best brands which fit me best. Thanks to her wardrobe styling expertise, I'm now as passionate about fashion as I am my own career in interior design. I believe I stand even taller with the boost of confidence she’s given me." —Brian Patrick Flynn, HGTV Host & Interior Designer
"Alison came into our closets and found outfits we didn't know we had. It felt like we had just been shopping for new clothes and yet never left our house. We don't walk into our closets now and think "I have nothing to wear," now it's "I have so many options!" She put together simple and easy pairings that we can replicate. As well, she wrote up a list of boutiques that design clothes that fit our style. It was a comprehensive closet makeover. Well worth it!" --Tricia O'Kelley, Actress, The New Adventures of Old Christine & Adam Rosenblatt, Co-Founder of H2R Productions
"I loved my wedding dress, but it was a little heavy to consider wearing all night long. Alison happily & positively demanded I have a wardrobe change/reception dress to dance the night away. She found me a gorgeous Sue Wong dress and connected me to her talented seamstress. I am thankful she found me a dress that complemented my wedding dress and left me with aching feet the next day. Yes, I danced plenty.”
—Robin Demarco, Actress, Drop Dead Diva, All My Children, Love & Teleportation
"I had so much fun shopping! She quickly understood my current "style" (or lack thereof) and then took me to several stores where she snapped up clothes that pushed my boundaries in a fun and stylish way. I loved all the things that I bought on our expedition. When I went into work the following week in a head-to-toe Alison outfit, a co-worker actually asked me if I had been styled! Hope we can do it again soon." --Lauren Campbell, International Marketing Consultant, Nestle
