    I love helping my clients define their personal style. Most of the clients I work with just don’t know how to do it anymore… Or they do, but they really don’t have the time… Or, they have some really good pieces, but they don’t know how to put them together… Or, they walk into a store and don’t know where to start.. .Or, they know exactly what they want and they just need help finding it. You get the idea. I think I have the coolest job in the world, for me.

    Jessie Carlson Wardrobe has been going for over 10 years. When Nordstrom decided to open their doors in Vancouver, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I joined the Nordstrom team in September and have had a ball dressing my clients, their husbands, and their children. There is something for everyone in the store.

    • My Most Glamourous Friend

    She will remain anonymous, she came with me to some of Vancouver Fashion Week’s shows. You will note her dress, I love it. She designed it and had it made. I told her I would be copying her and she didn’t seem to mind. We have a fabulous friendship.

    One of the things that my most glamourous friend (henceforth referred to as MMGF) has influenced me in is online shopping. Heavily influenced.

    I got sick this past week, and was therefore forced to spend many hours online looking at things that I could buy. I may have bought a few things, I can’t say for sure, sometimes I buy things and then quickly forget. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean.

    I thought I would dedicate this blog to online shopping and to show you some of the things I may have bought, and others that I might buy.

    I have also been known to find darling things on UrbanOutfitters.com, but I have to stop. Thankfully, I am feeling better and no longer have the time to spend trolling through these sites. Actually, that’s not true at all MMGF and I send each other links to pretty things all the time. At least I can say I am working.

    Fit Is Everything

    Never ever underestimate the value of a good tailor. Almost every client I have ever worked with has needed alterations done to their clothes. This could be because most women wear clothes that are too big for them. The logic is that if it is big and loose you can hide whatever part of your body you don’t love. This is wrong. Backwards logic, it makes you look bigger, always.

    Sometimes shortening a hemline 2″ will make all the difference in the world, other times it’s about taking a blouse in at the waist. It’s no exaggeration to say that I alter at least 50% of my clothes. Which brings me to, A&R alterations.

    It may not look like much, but I tell you, Rose Yalung is magic. Her shop is just east of Main on 11th.

    She took an Armani suit from a size 10 down to a 4 perfectly. I take all of my clients clothes to her and she always done a fabulous job.

    Before you decide to give something away, call me, a few alterations may make it new again.
