About Mary
It Started with Saddle Oxfords
I've always had a love for fashion, but I think my true quest for style began when my mother bought me what I thought was the ugliest pair of shoes in the whole wide world--saddle oxfords! Her need to supply me with the best shoes for my growing feet and my desire to look cute whenever possible clashed in a big way. I decided then that things would be different once I was in charge. Surely, there had to be shoes that were good for my feet and stylish too! Even now, my mom and I have good-natured laughs over how differently we viewed those shoes.
The dreaded
saddle oxfords
Growing up, I loved curling up with fashion magazines. Reading them from cover to cover fueled and inspired my knack for creating flattering outfits and my natural understanding of how to curate a wardrobe that just works. As an adult, I became the friend other friends turned to for fashion advice. What some saw as drudgery, I saw as big fun. And the fun expanded when I began representing an L.A.-based designer clothing line nearly 20 years ago. My clients come from all walks of life and are in all phases of life. They’re stay-at-home moms, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, artists, medical professionals, educators, administrators, and more. And they range in age from 20-something to 90. During the personal styling experience, I guide my clients through a process to define their unique style, figure out what is and isn’t functioning for them in their closet now, and, ultimately to create a wardrobe that does work for them. When working with a client, I live for the moment when she sees herself in the mirror wearing an outfit that makes her look and feel like her authentic self. She smiles, gets a twinkle in her eye, stands a little straighter, and maybe even struts her stuff. She’s ready! For what? Any and everything she puts her mind to, and I love being part of making that happen!
