Don't know what made me what I am. Being a "Socialite" and striking up a conversation with people is what I enjoy and do best. Heck, I'm doing that with you right now~! Networking with people have been the most rewarding attribute I've learned to acquire. I was a former fashion coordinator involving high fashion for women. Prior to that, I was employed as a wedding singer. I am a kid at heart and a dork from the start. I enjoy going to newly remodeled lounges, art museum exhibits, live bands, architectural homes, and restaurants...mainly whatever the city has to offer~! However, I like to point out that somehow food does taste exponentially better after midnight. If you haven't dare to because your concern about your figure, give it a try and you'll thank me for it later. *wink wink*
Karaoke is another favorite, Shooting pool, having a few laughs at a cafe or tea houses, watching foreign or independent films, getting an adrenaline rush when I get into any one of my cars, its exhilarating~!
Need someone to decipher your relationship problems or help analyze someones judge of character? Say no more, then I'm your guy! Honestly, I'm just good at profiling people, thats really much it...lol I'm usually am right when it comes to these things. That comes with the territory for having an impeccable reputation of being the love doctor.
I'll admit, I have some unusual habits. Yet, most sociably acceptable people can't fully grasp and understand an in-depth conversation with me. I'm one of those few people that go above and beyond to remain very loyal with their friends. I'm a complex being without the unnecessary complications. I don't believe in half ass work. I'm very happy and grateful for being where I am at in my life. You should also give yourself a pat on a back sometimes for getting this far in life.
My own experience as a personal shopper and how I meet people's expectations
Our confidence and insecurities, and our ability or inability to let go of our past experiences derive from how we present ourselves toward others. The type of look one tries to pull off, usually stems from an alter ego of oneself, shielding from public scrutiny or for the sake of avoiding pity from others. Certainty and acceptance is what most of us seek. Each day, our inner thoughts and decisions determine which type of clothes we feel we can wear, what we avoid wearing and how we come to the conclusion with what we purchase. Thankfully, your closet provides a treasure trove of personal information I can acquire from. It is often a direct insight into your persona of who you strive to eventually become.
Image consulting often begin by getting familiar with the individual from a social level. Working with style as a form of psychology, I will quickly understand the needs you lack of, and what inept characteristics you need to avoid. I then apply my methods to change the way you feel about yourself! Its just another form of therapy like a butt massage...totally kidding.
In private shopping excursions, I can show you how to find those pieces that will give you that extra boost to raise your confidence to a much higher level. You will learn exactly how to cultivate your own unique essential formula, both your self-confidence and how to build a trusting relationship with yourself. You will understand what to avoid and WHY certain fabrics, colors, and patterns can complement your inner essence.
I served each client with all the knowledge that is required to shop quickly and efficiently while always making the right purchases. The reward comes when your at home. Picking an outfit from your closet will always be a much easier and enjoyable task than ever. It will lift the stress out of you so you'll be able to make better conscious decisions throughout the day.
Who you BECOME + Your ESSENCE = Dictates your DAY
Some "Frequently Asked Questions" I get about how it is like being a personal shopper for someone:
Do you have any tips on how to shop for someone?
You should always know who you are buying for. Otherwise, you're just going to end up keeping all the stuff for yourself because you're out in the store enjoying yourself.
Are you a pretty patient shopper?
If I'm going out to purchase for someone, then more than likely yes. If I'm shopping for myself, hell I'll spend all day. I'll spend hours in the boutiques or dept. stores, I'll talk and flirt with the female sales clerks and get the most information I can. They're there to make our shopping experience more pleasurable. If I'm with someone, I'll tried to speed it up by remembering where it was and come back to it another day. If I'm just tagging along and someone else is shopping, then I am very flexible as long as I get fed later then I'll be fine.
Do you usually have an idea of what you want before you go to the store or do you just figure it out once you're there?
I prefer having my client to physically be there so I can see how the outfit would work out on her. I usually have to figure it out beforehand and recall where which boutique stores those outfits are located. A persons posture and their attitude can affect my decision whether it plays a significant part with their wardrobe. Then I start piecing it in my mind using my imagination to design the ideal ensemble for someone. I need to be impressed and blown away with it as much as the person whose wearing it.
Is there any type of person in particular that you love to shop for?
I'm going to have to go with shopping for girls who feels their self-esteem is at its most pivotal point. Their tenacity is gone and there is no fire in them whatsoever. I believe everyone deserve a shot at living the good life. Looking like a star without having to spend like one is my target goal. I know how it feels when someone your close to, whether its bf/gf constantly criticizes you in a condescending tone can epitomize your self-esteem to hit rock bottom. I cant emphasize this enough, it feels rewarding for me to shop for someone that I can help turn their life around.
