I pride myself on my fashion expertise, but even more on personalized customer service. Clients often tell me how seamless and comfortable I make the process. I always give honest opinions, but we do it with a friendly touch. If you're still unsure after browsing our website and reading client reviews, set up a free initial consultation to meet with us face-to-face!

I've styled men, women, doctors, parents, business professionals, teachers, retirees, students, engineers—you name it! I help clients of all ages and sizes with a personable approach that ensures you feel comfortable while addressing your specific style and needs.

I start every new client out with a free consultation. This can be done either in person for coffee (my treat!) or via Zoom. It takes around an hour and I go through a questionnaire to better understand your day-to-day, personal aesthetic, challenges & goals. More than anything, I love this time for a nice ice breaker in getting to know one another. If you are a client I have worked with before and it’s been a while, I also like to repeat this consultation process to re-establish goals.

If you feel like you have great pieces but are stuck on how to use them, a closet analysis is perfect for you. I will help you purge items that aren’t working, discuss body proportions and styling tips, and create lots of outfits using what you already own. In addition, I really like organizing the clothing space as we go and at least give a general direction of how to best see your wardrobe. At the end of the closet analysis, you’ll receive a personalized shopping list, whether you decide to shop with À La Mode or not! Additionally, a closet analysis gives your stylist a chance to understand your style and see what’s already in your wardrobe before a shopping trip.

Services vary in length of time; on average a closet analysis will take 2-3 hours, and a shop will take 3-4 hours.This will depend on your inventory and what your needs may be. I am 100% happy to take the time to do what is necessary; I’ve spent as little as an hour and as much as 8+ hours on given services. I am aware that we may be working under your personal limits so we can prioritize your most important goals.

Once we have our shopping goals/list and have scheduled our shop, I will pre-shop at the Mall of America an hour prior to meeting you.This time is not billed towards you.Through the shopping experience, items and rooms will be prepared and we will dive in with styled outfits.As you try on, I will be taking pictures (THESE PHOTOS ARE ONLY FOR YOU AND I), notes, exchanging out items/sizes, and truly getting a feel for what items reflect YOU. Many stores allow us to put things on hold as we go. More than anything, this time is meant to be educational. I do not make commission from stores I work with, and I want you to feel like the pieces you come out with make the most sense. I am also able to link items you don’t purchase but want to remember for later. This is not meant to be an overnight process so allow yourself time to let your wardrobe evolve with you.

YES! Especially for women, I love for you to join us at least once (men, you're lucky—sizing is much easier for you, so you don't have to come if you don't want to!). I can also bring the stores to you. A typical shopping trip for a season's wardrobe includes two hours of shopping time and around two hours of styling time at your home.

Based in the Twin Cities, À La Mode can travel up to 30 miles from downtown Minneapolis. If you live outside that range, you can pay a mileage fee for us to come to you.

Believe it or not, À La Mode does not mean ice cream on pie! The phrase is French for "in style or in fashion"—which is exactly what À La Mode aims to deliver every day. When founder Carly, whose two favorite foods are pie and ice cream (though not together!), discovered this, she knew she had found the perfect name for her styling dreams.
