Karen

Ali is one of the best presents I got for myself! I am a shopaholic with obsessive compulsive disorder! Closets full of clothes, many with tags still on them, and clothes I had before my daughter was born (she is an adult now) in complete chaos. With all this shopping and clothes I could not part with - I often felt I never had anything to wear and panicked when it came to packing for a trip. I usually wore the same things all the time. Enter Ali! She made me feel immediately comfortable and...

Sarita

It's been over two months since Ali and I spent 2 hours playing in my closet. I say "playing" because that's what it felt like -- I had so much fun! I am grateful to her on a daily basis. I walk into my closet and feel like I'm in a boutique -- it's so well organized! And I can pull an outfit together in no time! What is even more remarkable is that this was accomplished without my having to buy a single item. I was quite certain that my wardrobe was incredibly outdated as I tend to be a bit...

Rebecca

Cleaning out my closet is a job that I dread. I decided that it would never get done unless I got help. That's where Ali came in. What to keep? What to throw? With her very calm, non-judgmental manner, we went through clothing, shoes, and pocketbooks. Though some items were truly old, she just quietly commented that maybe this one or that one was "a little dated". She listened to my hesitations on some, and respected my reasons for keeping the odd piece or two. However, I also respected her...

Roberta

One of the many things that I appreciate about working with Ali is that she pays attention to my likes, dislikes, and lifestyle. Ali's approach is not cookie-cutter; it is tailored to suit me. As a result of Ali's coaching, I have eliminated questionable items in my wardrobe and selectively added garments that make me feel and look great and that suit my personality and life.

T.C.

I'd be the first to admit that I'm a little intimidated by fashion. I'm never entirely sure what's dated, what's current, and what goes with what. Add to that the fact that I'm no good at culling my closet, and you get an enormous closet (with some items more than 15 years old) and "nothing to wear." But after another round of I-just-bought-all-this-stuff-but-I-still-can't-get-dressed-in-the-morning, I finally realized that getting a professional to help me would probably save me both time and...

Debra

You have another true fan and friend. Thanks to you, I love getting dressed in the morning and putting together new outfits. I really appreciate how you were able to sort through my closet, gently tell me what needed to go, what could stay and which staples were missing from my closet. I love the new skinny jeans and boots you suggested and again feel that every morning is an exciting opportunity to put together a new fashionable outfit. And quite honestly, I receive many compliments on my...

Nancy

I reached out to Ali via Thumbtack and she responded instantly. I had already read about her while Googling similar services in my area. So happy that she responded and we were able to connect. She came to my house promptly as scheduled, chatted with me for a bit as to what I hope to accomplish, my wardrobe style, etc and then she went to town on my closet. Knew exactly what to get rid of, what to consign, what to repair and what to keep. She organized everything, gave me styling tips and left...

Hannah

Ali - Working with you was such a gift. I was SO anxious about finding the right dress... boy, did you nail it for me. I cannot thank you enough. The thought of having to find a dress was overwhelming to me and you made it so incredibly easy. That you went ahead and had dresses ready for me to try on was awesome and I SO appreciate it. You really know what you are doing! I have told so many people about my experience with you.

Elaine

I accomplished more in enhancing my wardrobe in 2 hours with Ali, than I would have managed in 2 weeks on my own. That alone would have made her worth every penny. Better still is that with her advice and support, I have more confidence that not only will I not regret any of my purchases now that they're home, but I'm genuinely looking forward to showing off my improved 'look' this summer! I never felt rushed but somehow we managed to cover a lot of ground in our time together. She just made...

Shahpari

Hi Ali, You are SUCH a star! I can not believe you managed to find me the absolute last Donna Karan skirt in petrol green from last season AND in my size, petite! I would have been so happy if you had even found a small or medium and would have altered it. I now have a complete outfit and am SO happy about it. I had been hunting everywhere for it and asked the sales associates in London to call everywhere, but they could not find it or, could not be bothered as all the items are on sale and...

What Do I Do?

I Upgrade Your Closet Inventory!

How often do you stand in front of your closet asking that question? Oh yes, that’s your closet. The one that’s full of clothes. The clock is ticking. And you have nothing to wear. So you pull something, anything, out, put it on, and perhaps you spend the rest of the day feeling just a little self conscious. Are these pants flattering? Do these things work together? Are they appropriate? Do they fit well? Are they too tight? Are they a little uncomfortable? Why, when you have a closet full of clothes, is it so difficult? And no matter how often you shop, no matter how much money you spend, why are you standing in front of your closet again wondering what to do?

I work closely with top retailers to find what is right for you and to get the right fit. Here is a sample of the services I offer. If there is something I didn’t cover, just ask!
