Wardrobe Edit, Personal Style Assessment, Image & Branding Consulting in Colorado
As a personal stylist, my work is rooted in respect, authenticity and fun.
I want to understand my clients' unique aesthetics, aiming to bring their story to life in a way that highlights their personality, figure and lifestyle. My goal is to empower women to wear their values and to embrace their true self, rather than imposing a "fashion makeover" or other drastic transformation.
Stylist's Note: Below is the photo gallery highlighting some of my virtual and in-person Wardrobe Edit Sessions -using the clients' clothes exclusively- see how their personalities shine through!
Sarah'S STYLE
Authentic, Modern, Relaxed
"Helene, thank you so much! My session with you today was beyond what I could have imagined. You know, when you see your own clothes everyday it's hard to get fresh and new ideas that align with how you want to present yourself. I got a whole new perspective today. I love what you showed me about contrasting textures and how to finish a look with accessories --which is something I sometimes forget about entirely. I was also so comforting to know that I can use what I have but now see also that I have a few basics that were gaps in my wardrobe.
Like you, I like to be intentional when I shop and you understood that so deeply --I know that's one of your values, too. So your recommendations on how I can fill these gaps to make my wardrobe even more wearable were super helpful. Next time I go thrifting or to consignment stores I will have a whole new set of eyes! Thank you so much for your time, it was so much fun. "

MELISSA'S STYLE
Relaxed, Playful & Feminine
"I really appreciate all of the thought and intention that you put into your work. I have worn out a handful of the outfits that you styled for me and felt the best that I have in my clothes in a long time! It feels amazing to wear my own (!) clothes in a way that is flattering and represents the person I am today. You gave me a smart, detailed and beautiful wish list of items to fill in the gaps in my wardrobe but overall there is no shopping needed to start feeling good in the clothes I have, which is such a great value!
As a mom of two littles who was struggling with style and found myself wearing the same boring, unflattering clothes each day, this experience has allowed me to reconnect to my authentic self and start to see the possibility of enjoying dressing myself and celebrating myself each day through clothing. It's been life changing and I can't thank you enough!"

Mary'S STYLE
Classic, Relaxed & Minimal
"Thank you so much for yesterday! You are right, my head was swimming with info and I was exhausted but by the evening I felt really good about what we (you!) were able to do with what I have and I love your approach.
I wanted to look like me but better and you nailed it. You taught me sooooo many useful things that will really change how I shop and dress myself. I wish I knew these things decades ago!"

KATIE'S STYLE
Free-Spirited & Minimal
"I have been struggling, since becoming a mom, to manage my closet - I have 4 different sizes of clothes, plus all my maternity clothes & have felt super frumpy (not to mention COVID made me dress in full-time athleisure).
Helene helped me clean up my closet & create a capsule wardrobe, be realistic about what to keep and let go of, how to organize for the seasons, how to hold clothes for a (maybe) future pregnancy, and how to hone-in my style (Colorado meets Joanna Gaines - couldn’t have described myself better myself). Cannot recommend a Wardrobe Edit with Helene enough!!"

GEORGIANNA'S STYLE
Elegant, Romantic & Playful
"It was so wonderful to meet you and work with you! Thank you for opening my mind to new options that flatter my figure and are fun to create.
I look forward to working with you in the future on new projects like vacation packing or accessorizing sessions, and when I need to purchase new items."

LAURA'S STYLE
Authentic, Elegant, Feminine
"I have been telling EVERYONE who will listen to me how much Helene helped transform my relationship to my clothes. I have always been very particular with my possessions and very confident with my "stuff" except when it has come to clothes. I always just thought that I didn't really like clothing or paying attention to what I wear, but now I know that I just didn't know enough!
Ever since working with Helene, I love getting dressed, looking out for new pieces of clothing, and playing with new combinations. I have worn things in my closet (multiple times!) that I never knew how to wear before. Before I felt like I had nothing to wear and now I feel like I have endless options. It is truly magic. I feel like my clothes are getting the love and appreciation they deserve. And, I keep getting compliments on my outfits!
Bonus is now I am SO much better at shopping! It feels easy and fun and I don't end up buying things that I later regret."

KOURTNEY'S STYLE
Classic, Edgy & Minimal
"I want to say a huge THANK YOU for all of the information and help that you have provided over the past few months. I am excited about my closet again! I am also very impressed with how comprehensive the handbook is.
You have helped me understand my personal style better and I also understand what type of outfits work for my body type now. I have been picturing new potential outfits in my head based on the outfit formulas we discussed and feel excited to get dressed again. I also have been wearing some of the suggested outfits from the styling session and have received compliments from my friends on the outfits. :) "

DIANA'S STYLE
Chill, Classic & Authentic
"Today, at the grocery store, I received a compliment from someone I didn’t know. I was not wearing something new, expensive or trendy just my regular clothes but I looked and felt put together, stylish, happy. Receiving a random compliment out of the blue was wild to me and I have Helene to thank for it!
Last week I had a styling session with Helene, it was so much fun! I learned what types of clothing look best on me, what colors are most flattering and how to balance fabric weight, shape and drape with the right accessories.
The best part of our session was when Helene began pulling items from my closet. She quickly curated a workable wardrobe with pieces I already own and then put together some really amazing outfits from that collection. Helene identified a few gaps in my wardrobe and provided a short list of items that I might shop for in the future. I’m pretty pleased with my edited wardrobe and will have fun working with what I have over the summer.
Getting dressed everyday is a necessity but it’s also a creative endeavor. Helene is a true master of style and that creativity, it’s an amazing experience to work with her!"

Danielle'S STYLE
Playful, Edgy & Elegant
"Helene, this was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for the breakdown of what we reviewed, the links, and of course your expertise overall. I am so glad to be working with you! I’m feeling awesome! I can't wait to start putting outfits together and show you what I come up with! I’m also searching for some of the items we talked about - it’s nice to shop with a purpose!
I just got back from the conference and packing was so much easier having gone through the outfits! I never would have considered wearing the cheetah jumpsuit and it was a huge hit, plus I felt great. "

Sharon'S STYLE
Chill, Modern & Classic
"Whether you're stuck, looking to streamline, or simply want to try a new approach to your wardrobe, Helene can help! Her communication skills are excellent, and she's a top-notch coach. Her recommendations were uniquely tailored to me, based on my lifestyle and goals.
Working with the items already in my closet, I picked out my go-tos and items I love but don't know how to wear. She selected the core items and then I tried on her pairings in a virtual session. It was a lot of fun and very creative! There are so many outfit variations I can create with my pared-down capsule wardrobe. Some of her suggestions were right on point, others were out of my comfort zone, but I'm game for a challenge.
It was an eye-opening and empowering experience. I actually look forward to getting dressed in the morning now that my wardrobe is simplified and organized! Thank you Helene!"

APRIL'S STYLE
Playful, Preppy & Gamine
"I was pretty anxious going into my virtual styling session because I was worried that Helene wouldn't "get" me or wouldn't be able to do much with my clothes. I was SO pleasantly surprised and impressed with how our session went- I did not want it to end! I learned a lot and hope to connect with Helene again in the Fall to edit my winter wardrobe. She is so talented!"

KATHERYN'S STYLE
Classic, Fresh & Glam
During my Wardrobe Edit Sessions, there are two moments that I particularly cherish.
The first one is when I arrange a mini boutique in the client's room by hanging their best clothes on a rack. We then shop their wardrobe and I suggest new outfit combinations to try on. It's always delightful to witness their excitement as they discover how stylish their old clothes can feel with a fresh perspective!
My second favorite moment is to hear them breathe a sigh of relief as they find out how much easier it will be to navigate their newly decluttered and organized closet from there on. We've taken care of the exhausting part of getting dressed and they're now all set.
