“Cathy is and always has been a designer of good living.

I have known Cathy for most of my life and in that time she has consistently been a point of inspiration for how I design my own.

Driven by her passions revolving around art, design, literature, film, fashion & interiors- she has made it her priority to enrich the lives of those who are privileged enough to be within her inner circle. Her infectious enthusiasm and keen ability to discern the present and future needs of those that she assists is what keeps her clients returning to her for her expert advice. She is a master colorist & skilled taste-maker who brings a strong work ethic to every project that she is involved in- always exceeding expectations.

Collaborating with Cathy promises a fulfilling experience that will undoubtedly elevate your quality of life in more ways than one. Thank you Cathy!”

“There are probably thousands of “fashion/wardrobe” consultants out there who promise to revitalize your image and make wise clothing purchases.  As with anything else, many are pretenders and wannabes, others, solid, well-intentioned and helpful and then there is an elite.

Cathy is one step beyond the elite.

Having worked with Cathy now for some 14 years I can say that in my experience she uniquely combines a phenomenal sense of fashion and color with an encyclopedic knowledge of good design and quality.  I enjoy her enthusiasm and appreciate that she has an eye to protecting your budget.  Sometimes that means purchasing clothing as a long-term investment, sometimes it means bargain hunting.  She is expert at both.

Her energy and personal charm are extras but make buying clothing a pleasure instead of an ordeal.  Her sales approach is attentive and low key.  She doesn't jam you.  On the other hand I can tell her I'm coming and she will pull things and have them ready—a huge time savings.  She is very organized.

Working with her is an educational process.  She will advise you what not to buy—things too trendy to last—but will stretch your sense of options if you are willing to follow her lead and take a few risks with color and fabric combinations.  She deals in quality and advises buying things that always remain in style then shows you how to accessorize them differently to keep them looking fresh and current.

In summary, I trust Cathy.  I have come to trust her because she has proven an invaluable professional resource who treats me as a friend.  I also admire her.  I feel exceptionally fortunate that our paths crossed.  Does it get any better than that?”

Cathy is also a joy to work with. Really fun and tells it like it is.”

“Cathy is among the most service oriented persons I have ever met. She is not only knowledgeable about her products and how they come together for a wardrobe, or "a look" or need, but she is great at follow-up, keeping you informed of new items that will fit into your wardrobe, of sales or trunk shows, and for ongoing maintenance and in-filling. And she is never too busy to be of assistance. Overall, she is the person you want to have for advise and counsel with your wardrobe”
