 TESTIMONIALS

Samantha is incredibly talented! Her background in psychology and fashion allows her to read between the lines. She is an amazing editor and a true collaborator.
— E.O.L.
While this might sound dramatic, it’s true; Sam has changed my life. While our work has focused on my wardrobe, she’s shaped how I think about other areas of my life too. We started with an intense closet cull where she every so gently, but sternly, suggested I try everything on. She showed me why certain pieces worked and others didn’t. We’re rebuilding now, with painstaking attention to detail. Sam is smart, diligent, humorous and kind. Trust me, I’ll never do the shopping game alone again.
— M.P.
Samantha is creative, open-minded and tremendously supportive. Working with her 10-months post-partum I was struggling with confidence and wardrobe. She elevated my mood and style, working with the things I had, building on those pieces to fill in gaps and introducing new elements. She is nothing short of a miracle worker and I wouldn’t think of working with anyone else!
— M.C.
Samantha is a pleasure to work with. She has a keen eye and is totally fashion-forward. She pushes you to consider new looks, but is never pushy. Always wants you to look your best and feel comfortable. Doesn’t want you to look like everyone else. Allows you to be stylish and unique.
— L.S.
Through Samantha’s amazing talent and encouragement, I was able to realize the potential of my closets and eliminate the multitude of superfluous items. My wardrobe is now smarter, leaner, and meaner. It’s now so effortless to pick out anything from a daily uniform to a special occasion outfit, no digging or rummaging required.
— A.S.
