Color Analysis
A 90-minute in-person session, where I systematically drape you with 160 precision-dyed drapes, and reveal your true season. You’ll leave with newfound confidence and appreciation for your unique beauty, plus actionable advice you can take and implement immediately.
What You Get:
• Confirmation of your undertone (cool, neutral-cool, neutral-warm, or warm)
• A tonal direction for your most harmonious palette (bright or soft, deep or light)
• A makeup trial revealing the nudes, pinks, and reds that suit you best for everyday cheek and lip colors
• A robust, personalized digital report of your analysis results
What The Session Is Like:
• We will meet in my cozy home studio during daylight hours
• Please wear a solid-colored black, gray, or white cotton t-shirt
• Please arrive with clean, makeup-free face, and hair pulled up off the neck and pinned back off the forehead.
• Wearing glasses is perfectly fine; I may ask you to remove them for short portions of your session if needed
Style Personality Discovery Session
This 2.5-hour session is a deep dive into the way your unique personality informs your true, authentic style aesthetic. I walk you through our signature moodboard activity, and together, we’ll discover your three iconic archetypes.
What You Get:
• A gorgeous moodboard that serves as your style North Star
• Three clear, aligned style archetypes that combine to create your one-of-a-kind style framework
• A digital report of your results, complete with personalized resources and detailed breakdown of the visuals and features of your style, so you can implement your new style immediately
What The Session Is Like:
• We will meet in my relaxed, cozy home studio
• Dress comfortably, as we will be seated for most of the session
• Please bring your preferred personal Internet-connected device for logging into Pinterest
Body Architecture Discovery Session
The Rise Styling philosophy does not assign personal style based on body shape. We believe that your authentic style comes from your personality, and belongs on your body. During this private session, we will troubleshoot your biggest fit challenges, and introduce simple, real-world strategies for honoring your shape — without sacrificing your style!
What You Get:
• Custom notes for necklines, sleeve shapes, leg shapes, dress silhouettes, and alterations vocab for your style
• Confirmation of your proportions: petite, tall, short, long, regular (you may be surprised by what you learn!)
• Your true bra size, inseam lengths, rise lengths, and more key numbers that make or break your fit
• A refreshing and empowering approach to honoring your body’s shape and size at every stage
What The Session Is Like:
• We will meet in my relaxed, cozy home studio
• Wear form fitting leggings and tank top, with a light support bralette or wireless bra.
• Bring a pair of jeans or similar pants that fit you well
• I will ask to take a few basic photos of you from several angles, which will be used only for your private custom notes
Closet Edit
You may have been wondering, “When do we clean out my closet?” There’s a reason Edit is step 4, and it’s because I want this to be the last closet overhaul you ever have to do. With Color, Style, and Fit under your belt, decisions in your closet become a matter of alignment and timing. I help you navigate the myriad decisions hiding inside your closet — without killing your budget, adding to landfills, or second-guessing your choices.
What You Get:
• 4 hours inside your closet with an experienced expert
• The Rise Styling tried-and-tested 4-phase Conquered Closet plan and Decision Trees
• A calm, functional closet space (no more chaotic mornings!)
• A new “bar” for future purchases, and renewed confidence for how, when, and why to spend money on new clothing
What The Session Is Like:
• Dress comfortably and wear well-fitting undergarments for trying on pieces throughout the session
• You will have the final say on what stays and what goes. My job is to help you ask the right questions in the process
• We will not throw any clothing in the trash. All discards will be responsibly sold, donated, or recycled accordingly
Personal Shopping
After your closet edit, it’s time to fill the gaps with the right pieces, in the right order for maximum outfit potential! In-person sessions are a curated experience at the retail destination of our choice within a 40 mile radius of Piscataway, NJ. Online shopping is available for the same price, and is completed within 30 days of the kick-off call.
What You Get:
• The top 3-5 wardrobe gaps in your closet filled with aligned pieces that expand your outfit potential
• Introduction to new brands, fits, and silhouettes you may never have tried on your own
• Justified purchases that slot seamlessly into your existing wardrobe
What The Session Is Like:
• In store: I curate a fitting room in advance, so you get to skip the browsing phase and skip straight to the pieces with the most potential
• Online: We have a quick kick-off call to outline your shopping list and budget. About 10 days later, you’ll receive a curated online catalog of hand-selected pieces to purchase and try on. We’ll follow up your post-try-on feedback with next purchases as needed.
Outfit Styling Session
All the amazing clothes in the world mean nothing if you aren’t wearing them! With the right mix of outfit building know-how, mindset shifts, and PRACTICE (this is key!), you’ll be out in the real world with your values on full display.
Who It’s For:
• Smart shoppers who still aren’t wearing their wardrobe to its full potential
• Women stuck in a rut, pairing the same safe combos together on repeat
• People who want to learn to mix and re-mix their wardrobe on demand, and stretch out of their comfort zone — without going out and buying new things!
Why The Wear Phase Matters:
• The Wear phase is the scariest part of your style journey, and all of your work has been leading up to this point — it makes sense that you need support to put it all together!
• We cannot overstate how massive it feels to step out into your real life looking different, even if you know in your bones that’s its the right thing. We’re here to help you navigate it all!
• The difference between an okay outfit and a killer outfit is much simpler than you think, and we want to show you how to nail it every time, for any occasion!
