Deep dives
Recommended stores for vintage shopping
For vintage shopping, I recommend eBay and Etsy. They have a wide selection of vintage clothing and accessories. Opulent Addict, Tab Vintage, New Vintage, and Millennial Decorator are also great options for finding unique vintage pieces.
Favorite styling era
I have a fondness for the 80s and early 90s in terms of styling. I love the big shoulder pads, colorful and bold outfits, and statement accessories.
What to splurge and save on
Save your money and avoid splurging on trendy items that may go out of style quickly. Instead, save and splurge on timeless classics like a well-made designer bag, a versatile pair of shoes, or high-quality jewelry that will last for years.
Dream client
I have already had the opportunity to work with some of my dream clients, but one notable client was Nicole Richie. It was a great experience and a dream come true to work with her.
Must-have designer bags
Some must-have designer bags include the half moon bag and mini 90s bag from The Row, bags from Reformation's bag line, and vintage Hermes bags. Of course, these bags can be a splurge, so choose according to your personal style and budget.
This week Maggie and Emma are joined by personal stylist Emily Lafitte for an episode that covers everything from starting a career as a personal stylist to all of the essentials you should have in your closet this year. They talk about how Emily's process working with clients from start to finish to select the perfect pieces for them, where to find the best basics and vintage clothing, Emily's trend forecast for this fall and winter, and must-haves for a capsule wardrobe.
