I had so much fun putting together this video. It reminded me how far we have come as stylists, as a team and as a company. We are serious about what we do and many of our processes are that of a larger company  — but always with the detail and individual care of a […]

Our team always looks forward to the Met Gala. Between naked dresses (Beyoncé, 2015), deconstructed kilts (Sarah Jessica Parker, 2006), and twisted bunny ears (Madonna, 2009). The event ushers in the opening of the Costume Institute’s annual blockbuster show and is the most exciting red carpet event for anyone who is into clothes. This year did not disappoint. […]

I was thrilled to be featured recently in local online magazine, YOU CAN Magazine. I got to talk about the power of dressing, my passion for my job as a personal stylist, flexing my creativity on editorial shoots, and how being part of a a great team pushes me forward in my career.  Check out […]

The Closet Audit is one of my favorites services we offer at DC Style Factory.  One of the things I’ve learned in doing them, is that,  in some ways, handling business in a bedroom closet is not much different than a boardroom meeting.

This spring, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with seven Delaware teachers for four days, styling them and appearing in a series of makeover videos. I had embarked on this National Education Association project for the first time last year. This year they upped the ante by having DC Style Factory complete makeovers for […]

This month, we partnered with Georgetown boutique, Lynn Louisa, for a spring style workshop, featuring some unsung wardrobe heroes: transitional clothing.

Soon the store was buzzing with women there for the sold-out event. […]
