About Me


 
 
 
 

Hey Fashionista, it’s lovely to meet you, I’m Emmaline! I help busy women like you, elevate their style, rediscover the joy of dressing and look and feel like the most fabulous version of themselves.

You deserve to feel amazing in your clothes, have fun getting dressed and have a fully wearable, versatile and refined wardrobe that you love to wear.

With my guidance and expertise, you’ll have an elevated confidence with shopping and getting dressed, a closet that works for you and a signature style that makes you feel confident, fierce and authentic to you.

WHAT I DO

As a Certified Personal Stylist, I help a client look their best and advise them on all things style. Consider me your fashion resource! Through my styling services, I want to help you elevate your look and your confidence with fashion, rediscover the joy of dressing and. My approach is never to judge the client but to listen, collaborate and work together to achieve your style goals and vision.

MY MISSION

My ultimate goal for each of my clients is to help them realize that they can achieve great style and to use their style to accentuate their individuality and feel like the most fabulous version of themselves. Fashion can feel really intimidating for women. I’ve always loved the idea of showing them how fun and powerful fashion can actually be; show them that they belong in the fashion space and help them find themselves in their style. I’m here to open your eyes to a new way of dressing, not to change you but to encourage you to elevate to the ‘next level you’ and see how fabulous you truly are. We have such a love hate relationship with our clothes and our bodies and get so hung up on what we can’t wear or what we can’t pull off. I want to show women that yes you can totally wear this and you can absolutely pull off so many stylish outfits no matter your shape, size, age or where you are in life. I want to get them out of that restrictive box they’ve created in their head and help them see themselves in a fierce way they didn’t know was there (or maybe forgot was there!) Feeling confident in your clothes is not exclusive to a certain group of women. As your personal stylist, I believe you deserve to look and feel fabulous in your clothes every day.

Another form of outfit planning only instead of photographing the styled looks in a flat lay format, I’ll create the looks for you to wear and be photographed in. I find it works best if the room is set up nicely and the client has the makeup and hair done. They really enjoy seeing themselves all done up in their digital look book and they can see how they look in each outfit from head-to-toe.

My Story

Fashion has always been my source of joy and inspiration since the age of ten. My head was always stuck in a fashion magazine or I was in and out of my mom’s closet playing dress up. One of my favorite hobbies was looking at the women’s evening gowns in the mall’s department stores and trying on the variety of dresses displayed. I loved touching the fabrics, analyzing the way the mannequins were styled and trying on the pieces to see how they would drape when worn. Every aspect about clothes made me happy as a little girl.


Growing up biracial, I never felt like I fit in with my friends. I was never white enough or black enough and it left me feeling like everyone wanted to put me in a specific box. Fashion became my outlet to create my own box and be myself. I could express who I was through fashion and didn’t have to fit into anyone’s conformities. Dressing how I wanted gave me the confidence to embrace my individuality and uniqueness.


As I got older, I discovered how transformative a great outfit could be for your confidence. If I was having a bad week at school, I’d plan out my look for the next morning, choosing an outfit that would emulate how I wanted to feel. Without fail, that outfit made me feel more dynamic and self-assured once I got to school. It gave me a quiet confidence and created a domino effect: I stood taller, I spoke louder and allowed myself to be seen. Those experiences made me a firm believer in dressing with intent and using fashion as my way to express how I wanted to feel.


After graduating high school, I pursued my dream of having a career in the fashion industry. It took several years of working odd part-time jobs to figure out the right fashion profession but I eventually chose personal styling. I know that as women, we tend to have a love/hate relationship with our clothes. I wanted to share the joy fashion has always brought to me with other women. Being a personal stylist was the perfect fit for me because I could use my creativity and love for fashion to help women feel more confident in their style!


Although college didn’t offer a personal stylist degree, being educated in this field was important to me. I wanted to be taken seriously and be educated in the services I’d be offering to my clients. I made it my mission to find a professional program to teach me every aspect of personal styling. From 2016 to 2017, I received thorough online training from two highly accredited schools in California specializing in personal styling, menswear styling and color consulting. In 2017, I started my styling career when I opened my own small color consulting business. By 2019 I expanded and now offer both 1:1 and virtual personal styling services. Perfecting my craft and expertise is a priority for me and so I’m always building my knowledge and continuing my professional training in my field.


One of the greatest moments as a personal stylist is seeing a client’s confidence build as I work with them. They begin to branch out of their style comfort zone and they let themselves shine in their clothes rather than hide. They allow themselves to be visible and rock their style with pride. I believe every woman has a fashionista living inside them and my job as a stylist is to help bring her out!
