Testimonials
“Ok, so I’m at a client event – super cool hip hop thing that I’m not cool enough to be at – and I’m wearing some of the clothes that we bought. I love feeling amazing about MY style!! So I wanted to say thank you! It’s just great that you’ve taught me how to appreciate pattern. I’m wearing my theory pants, polka dot cool socks — one of the outfits you made!!!”

“As a young professional, I don’t have time or patience to shop for clothes. I’ve been using Kara for the last few years and she’s absolutely fantastic. She cleans out and organizes my closet, shops for clothes with me, and dresses me. She’s able to get me out of my comfort zone without being too pushy and knows pretty much every clothing and shoe store in this City. Honestly, I can’t imagine having to shop for clothes alone anymore.”

“We have been using Kara’s personal shopping services for several years and cannot live without her now! She knows exactly what we already own and what we may need based on the season & trends. She works within our budget to get us pieces that are both high quality staple items and balances those with fast fashion lower priced pieces. Kara knows how to push us outside of our comfort zone to buy different items that we absolutely love. Kara you are amazing!”

“When I first started working with Kara, I was pretty set in my ways: often buying slight variations of the same overall style- how many blue button ups can a guy have?!? Kara has done a great job of gradually pushing me out of my comfort zone and adding pieces to my wardrobe that I otherwise wouldn’t consider, but are fresh additions – a splash of colour, a trendy new material, a fun pair of shoes. Kara understands my personality and integrates that into her selections. She’s also a blast to hang out with and makes shopping fun, instead of a chore. I’ve gone from having a mundane wardrobe to being complimented regularly on what I wear, for any occasion.
Thanks Kara!”
Thanks Kara!”
Frank Spano
Chief Financial Officer
“About a year ago I started working with Kara. After a panic attack – I needed to buy a suit for an interview. I had nothing to wear that made me look like a million dollars without spending a million. Kara was amazing from the moment I met her – her energy is infectious and her passion is palpable. Starting with the wardrobe edit, she gave me ideas on how to retro fit – she is a strong and empathetic supporter of sustainable garments – giving the remaining items in my closet new life. Next we went shopping, she’d already focused on a number if outfits in different price ranges from different brands/stores. She found me the perfect suit, without any of the usual stress attached to it. I felt brilliant and confident. Now I go shopping with Kara seasonally. I trust her judgment, it’s fast and painless and increasingly enjoyable.”

“Kara is incredible! Not only is she super stylish and a wonderful human being, she’ll also push you outside your clothing comfort zone to try things that you wouldn’t otherwise pull from the rack. My favourite part of working with Kara (in addition to the excellent chit chat) has been how she’s mined my existing wardrobe for pieces that can be used and re-used to create the stylish outfits that truly make me walk out the door feeling confidently me!”
Shelli Baltman,
Found Partner Idea Suite
“My issue was closet full of clothe and nothing to wear. I think its a common problem for many women. That changed when I met Kara. She was able to re-shuffle my wardrobe and add number of essential pieces I was missing. As a result, I now have my favorite outfits for every season. Also, with Kara’s help my taste and shopping process has been refined. I no longer buy or have items that stay unused, sometimes with the tags attached. I shop significantly less now, and that allows me to add high quality statement pieces to my wardrobe. Thanks to Kara I finally have less clothes but more to wear.”

Personal shopper Kara Brownlee doesn’t think it’s delusional so much as lazy. “Compared to buying flip-flops, it’s really hard to find that perfect pair of wool pants that makes your bum look good and your legs look long,” she says, adding, “there’s a disconnect between what people think they own and wear versus reality. It’s easier to just ignore the discrepancy.”
When it comes to dating and fashion, you can be sure that your lady friend is going to pull out all the stops. She’ll check Pinterest for ideas, put on a mini-fashion show for her roommates, decide on an outfit, then change it, then change it again. Bottom line: she’s out to dress to impress, and unless she’s a complete fashion disaster, she will.”
