Personal Shopping
Concierge shopping experience, semi-prepared for you in advance to ensure a streamlined and successful shop.
Shop with clarity. Purchase with confidence. Dress with intention.
Shopping shouldn’t leave you drained, overwhelmed or second-guessing your choices.
Yet for many women, it does.
You invest time, energy and money - only to end up with pieces that don’t quite work well together, don’t fit your lifestyle or don’t reflect who you are now.
The reason why you’re currently having troubles with shopping is because you’re unaware of what suits you and why.
You’re unaware of your best colours, so you end up purchasing what feels “safe” — typically black or other neutrals — but then wonder why your complexion looks washed out, red or heavy
You’re uncertain of the shape of your body, therefore feeling discouraged when trying on items that don’t flatter your figure and/or leaving with items that are close…but something still feels off
You feel overwhelmed by the amount of options, yet not having the proper direction which causes even more confusion
You leave either empty-handed or with items that you don’t truly love because ‘leaving with something is better than leaving with nothing’
Having a closet full of clothes that you struggle to wear — leaving you re-wearing the same few outfit combinations on repeat
It’s not about buying more. It’s about buying better - with strategy, clarity and purpose.
Personal shopping changes that because you’re able to shop with a professional who’s able to show you the best styles of clothes for you — then teaching you how to wear what you’re purchasing.
This is shopping with a plan.
Personal shopping is a highly curated experience designed to eliminate the guesswork and decision fatigue.
Together, we shop with intention based on your body, your lifestyle, your goals and the image that you want to project so that every piece you bring home earns its place in your closet. If you’ve had your colours done in the past — even better!
The result:
You stop wasting time and making impulse purchases and to start building a wardrobe that actually works for you. Throughout the shop, you’ve got Erin keeping you on track and opening your eyes to items you never even considered — but they leave you feeling fabulous!
Why shop with a stylist?
When you shop alone, you’re making decisions in isolation - without objective feedback or a long-term vison.
When we shop together:
Every piece is chosen with purpose
Fit, proportions and versatility are prioritized (colour is also considered, especially if you’ve had colour analysis done by me in the past!)
I teach you how to create flattering outfits with the items you’re considering buying
Your wardrobe becomes cohesive, not cluttered, which allows for simplicity when deciding what to wear
You gain confidence in why certain clothes work for you
What to expect.
Pre-Shop Questionnaire + Preparation
In a detailed questionnaire and email communication, your lifestyle needs, wardrobe gaps, monthly functions and style goals are identified so we’re shopping with absolute clarity.
This is Erin’s opportunity to learn more about you and to gain a better understanding of what needs to take priority during your shopping session.
Erin creates and sends you a curated shopping list as well as a small vision board with aligned outfit examples to ensure both parties feel comfortable and confident in the upcoming shop.
Erin arrives to your preferred shopping location prior to your arrival to ensure pieces are aligned with your body, colour palette, lifestyle requirements and wardrobe strategy - no endless browsing.
Styling + Fit Assessment
Together, we’ll stop at approximately 2-4 stores and will shop together for 3 hours, either in Ottawa or Pembroke.
At each store, we’ll assess the fit, colour, refine proportions and create outfits with your potential purchases so you can see how everything works together.
During you appointment, Erin will teach you how to shop with purpose and intentionality so that what you’re purchasing belongs in your closet and is a total ‘hell yes’ before swiping your credit card!
New Purchase Outfit Images
Throughout the 3-hour concierge shopping appointment, Erin keeps track of your purchases so that outfit visuals can be created and sent to you afterwards, showing you how to mix-and-match these items to ensure outfit versatility.
These outfit visuals will be sent electronically for you to reference and create within 1 week of the shopping appointment - removing the guesswork of how to style your clothing in a way that’s elevated and complete.
Should you wish to invest in another shopping session with Erin, notes are stored and referenced so future appointments are streamlined, easy and enjoyable.
