As a personal stylist for real, everyday people, 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!
"It was such a joy working with Helene...and so much FUN! She made me fall back in love with my wardrobe! Helene helped me declutter unnecessary items, curate my capsule wardrobe based on items I already own, and identify a few key pieces I was missing that would bring it all together. It was such an inspiring session! I can't wait to work with her again in the future. :) "

"Before working with Helene, I was constantly doubting my own style and trying to make pieces of clothing that were not comfortable or just not me “work.” She helped me find and define my style while identifying pieces already in my wardrobe that centered it.
She also made great recommendations of what to add that were both high quality and from companies that value sustainability and longevity in their products. I highly recommend her services and expertise to anyone wanting a cohesive quality and sustainable wardrobe."

"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!"

"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!!"

"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."

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. :) "

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.

"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."

"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!"

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.
