"Six months after the birth of my 3rd daughter in five years, I went on a girls’ trip to Napa with Ariane and some of our other friends from highschool. After 5 years of near constant pregnancy & nursing, I was psyched to do some shopping! On that girls trip, I got a glimpse into Ariane’s styling genius. I have no knack for spotting a garment on a hanger and envisioning it on my body, with accessories, as an outfit. Ariane, on the other hand, has vision. I simply stood in the dressing room, while she brought me dresses, tops, and trousers to me. She definitely took me out of my normal comfort zone, and introduced some refreshing variety into my wardrobe. Some of my favorite “go-to” dresses are still from that shopping trip in Napa.

Fast forward 6 months, we were transitioning into fall, and my family was being re-located to a chilly and wet London. I had a closet full of clothes from the past 5 years, a spectrum of sizes and purposes. I needed to do a purge, but thought that there were a bunch of things in my wardrobe that might be worth keeping. I just didn’t know which ones. Ariane came over and spent a day with me going through my closet, helping me determine which things were done, and which things maybe needed a little updating. There were outfits we created with my own clothes taht I would never have done on my own, and they are fantastic. My fear of belts has been banished, my love of miniskirts renewed, my obsession with layering seeded. I only wish I could get her over here to help me with my spring/summer clothes!"

"It was four months after having my first baby and I was heading to vegas for a girls trip. I was just getting back into my pre-baby clothes and nothing fit quite right. I knew I needed new "going out" jeans and tops and maybe a dress of two. Where do I start? Although I could usually put something together I was feeling sort of out of the loop with the maternity thing and didn't know what type of jeans would be right for me.

Ariane got me together. She was able to look at me and tell me exactly which brands and styles would work for me so that I wouldn't have to spend all day trying on 100 pairs of jeans and end up feeling frustrated. After I made my purchases she helped me put outfits together and showed me how to accessorize in order to dress up my simple LBD.

I had a great trip and still love those outfits we created together. I would highly recommend Ariane to help create a style for you."
