From Do's To Shoes Styling has a unique view on the benefits of having a stylist. We believe that looking good is not always as effortless as models and celebrities make it look. They have teams of people working behind the scenes to make sure that every article of clothing looks good on them; and it works well enough with their personas that people think, "If they can do it, so can I".
Now if you are not a celebrity, it might seem like a strange idea to employ a stylist. Men and women have differing opinions as to why they don't need what seems like a luxury expense, but to them we say "Looking good doesn't need to come at an astronomical price any more"!
Most men would say "I want to get in and get out as soon as possible. I want to pick what I like, pay for it and then go home. Why would I want to prolong the process by using a stylist?" While most women say "I shop with my friends and they tell me what looks good. Why pay someone else to do what my friends already do?" For both sexes we have an honest response worth thinking about.
Men: A stylist can help you sort through the junk and get straight to the good stuff. They can help you fit those arms that everything seems to be too tight on, or those pants that seem to always pull in the crotch. A good stylist can evaluate your body and help to make sure that your wardrobe not only looks put together, but also fits you in the right ways. Your jeans don't have to be too long. Your shoes can match most of your outfits instead of just guessing that they do! Not to mention, From Do's To Shoes Stylists will do all the shopping for you, so the 'process' is one that you barely need to be a part of!
Women: In keeping with our honesty policy - your friends are not the best people to trust when you go shopping. They have their own motives when walking into a mall and after the third or fourth store that they haven't found a single thing to try on, their evaluations of you might not be too honest. They will say something looks good (or bad) based on their own want to find something that looks good on them. And as emotional creatures, very often when women feel badly about themselves, they project the negativity onto others while shopping. It is supremely difficult as a friend to stay unbiased as the 'shopping partner'.
However, a stylist's job is to remain honest and unbiased on what looks good on you. It is literally our job to make sure you look good in every single item of clothing that you own. From Do's To Shoes Stylists focus on your shape, the things you hate about your body, the things you love about it, and how to make the whole package look good. We can tell you how finding a top that fits around your breasts properly is possible. We can show you how to find a pant that makes your butt look fabulous while still feeling great to wear all day. We can give you comfort and class all in one shot. You can shop in any store you want, and still get a professional opinion (not the one from the sales girl who has budgets to hit)! Best of all, if you don't like public change rooms, we can do this all from the comfort of you own home!
It seems clear to us that anyone who is serious about looking good, needs an image consultant like From Do's To Shoes Styling offers. With exclusive discounts and expertise that is truly hard to come by, its no wonder the wealthy rely on others to dress them. You don't have to be a millionaire to work with us, just a person looking for a wardrobe that looks (and feels) like a million bucks!
Stay Chic,

The Art of Gift Giving
Gift giving is a tough art to master, but From Do's To Shoes Styling has some ideas of what to do and what not to do, to match the gift to its getter.
With the holidays having just passed, it is almost guaranteed that you got a gift or two that made you scratch your head and think, "this is what you think of me?". A pair of socks, while practical and necessary, is not exactly the type of thing that warms your heart.
One rarely feels the love reverberating from a gift that was not thought through. Some people buy what they like for themselves, and make the assumption that the receiver will like it too. This is a colossal mistake! Unless the receiver is an identical twin who loves all the same things they love, the giver has erred.
There are very few people out there who are supremely good gift givers. These days a gift certificate or a cheque can be a sufficient gift (well who doesn't like getting money? Right??), but From Do's To Shoes believes in the art of gift giving.
Gift giving is about the person getting the gift. When buying for someone, think about the things they like to do. What puts a smile on their face? What inside joke do you share that can be converted into a gift to remind the receiver that you still find it funny? Think of their day-to-day lives and see; what item would fit perfectly with their social lives, private lives, or at the office?
From Do's To Shoes Styling understands that it would be outrageous to expect that each person in your life be given the same budget for every birthday, anniversary and holiday. But, as you know, budget is not what makes a gift great. As any parent or grandparent can tell you, a home-made gift filled with love trumps a gift that has no thought behind it any day.
When shopping for a gift, plan your attack! Wandering into a mall with your wallet in hand on the hunt for "something to pop out at you", is a laissez faire and risky way to search. You might never find your dream item, and after hours of aimless wandering, you get frustrated and tired, and you end up settling for something you think might work, and so, the sentiment it not buried beneath the wrapping paper.
If you plan your gift before you shop, you will end up with a gift that makes you both feel great. You can watch the unwrapping and feel pure joy in the anticipation of "oh my goodness! This is present perfect! Thank you so much!".
