Susan N.
CEO & Chair of National Council
“I was achieving many of my professional goals and then realized how much an edge wardrobe styling could give me, Allyson has a keen eye and impeccable taste. Importantly, she finds the total looks that work with my figure, as well as my profession. She helps me dress perfectly and with confidence for every occasion whether a big speech or meeting, a high stakes lunch or casual, but professional dinner.”
Susanna Q.

I have collaborated with Ally for nearly 20 years. If you need a single outfit or look, she’ll provide you with ten options, all perfectly on point. She never misses. Once she grasps someone’s style ethos and what flatters them, she can help anyone present their best self. Occasionally, she nudges me out of my comfort zone; for instance, she dressed me in a stunning gold and black robe dress that was a departure from my usual fitted styles, and it was fabulous! I trust her completely, whether I’m looking for a gala gown or need help styling and packing for a two-week trip from my own closet. Plus, she is kind, generous, and a true friend.

Allyson is nothing short of amazing! When I returned to the office after the pandemic, during which I had received a promotion, I realized my clothes were woefully out of date and didn’t project the confidence and poise that my role requires. Allyson didn’t just transform my wardrobe – an instant confidence boost – she also coached me on presence. I now feel strong in any room or situation. Working with her gave me an additional boost in confidence to help me achieve another career milestone. I am so thankful to her consistent counsel, incredible sense of fashion, ability to understand a person quickly, and compassionate approach to clients. I highly recommend Allyson – she will change your life!
