Best gift ever! - personal shopper gift certificate

by ekerfer

My husband bought me a gift certificate for a Day of Style with Chic Inspiration for my 40th birthday. I always thought about contacting a personal shopper to help me with my clothes and just somehow never would up doing it. But after this experience, I am a believer. I couldn't believe how quickly Ella zeroed in on what is right for me and what a change it made! I get at least 1 compliment a day on my outfits and on how nice I look. I am now the best dressed person at work!!! This was amazing and I have vowed to see Ella every fall and spring. You cannot put a price tag on feeling good about yourself. It is worth it a thousand times over!!!

I'm AMAZED

by nycguy212

Initially, I was skeptical of hiring a stylist to help me but after meeting Ella and going through their process, I was completely floored. Ella first evaluated my closet and my personal goals, then came the shopping. I usually hate to shop but this trip was pretty quick and stress-free. I was AMAZED at what she was able to do for me. She had such a plan in mind for how to transform my look. I've never been so comfortable in my clothes. I've never been happier with how I look. Ella has such a great eye and how it applies to YOU. I have nothing but the highest recommendation for Chic Inspiration and for this experience!

• Pros: really awesome service

Ella- YOU ARE AMAZING!

by fashionistasnyc

I wanted to make sure to write this review since I contacted and hired Ella based on the other reviews on this site. This woman is absolutely AMAZING!!! After redoing my closet and going shopping for new clothes, I feel like a new person! I LOVE my new closet! And she preformed a miracle with the shoes!!! I have really large calves and could never, ever find boots that fit me. Well, today I am wearing the new boots and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!! I am so just excited about everything and had a fantastic time with her. I am so glad I found Ella, I really cannot thank her enough. Ella- you have changed my life!

Ella is hand-down the best personal shopper in NYC

by bkgerica

Talk about customer service! Ella Goldin is Awesome. She helped me find the most beautiful gown and boy can she run around and get it all together for you. She had everything from the undergarments to the shoes in the dressing room with about 20 dresses. Not only did I get the gown for the Black Tie event- I got a dress for my friend's son's wedding and at a discount!! And it all took just ONE HOUR. SHE DID ALL THE LEG WORK AND I SPENT 1 HOUR BEING PAMPERED!!

So glad I found you!!!

by amberrimo

I'd finally had it with my closet and it had been so long since I'd been shopping that I was a bit intimated by trying to put together an updated look. Well, thank G-d I found Ella...she was fantastic. After looking at her site, I decided to jump in for a consultation and a shopping day. Ella is confident, professional and gets to know what you are like, can afford etc. Following an initial consult, we met for a shopping day that totally exceeded my expectations. Ella found great new additions for my wardrobe and totally helped me put new outfits together. I will definitely be contacting her again for a fall/winter update, as this personal service was well worth the time and money. Moreover, Ella works within your budget, so there were never any big surprises during the process.

• Pros: Amazing service, will definitely be back!
• Cons: What are the drawbacks?

A great learning experience, I'm hooked!!

by cindybon99

I really enjoyed working with Chic Inspiration. The stylist, Ella, gave me great ideas of things I should buy to go with my existing wardrobe. The suggestions seemed so obvious when Ella mentioned them but I would never have thought of them myself. She also made me see how similar all my shoes are which explains why I can't find suitable shoes in my wardrobe when I go out at night. Ella even helped me part with clothes that I have not worn for the past few years.

I'm not a shopper and have tended to wander aimlessly around shops. Since meeting with Ella I have become more focussed. I now know exactly which styles

Excellent Stylist...Great With Kids!

by genetalerico

My wife & I recently hired Ella for a style consult/shopping excursion as a Christmas present for our nearly 12 year old daughter...Of course, as parents we have no style so we gave Ella a shot! It was a great experience! Ella spoke to her by phone a week or so before the visit & really captured the essence of her personal style...the do's & don'ts in a manner of speaking. We left Bloomingdale's with some great clothes and right at our pre-determined price point...

Highly recommended!

• Pros: great with children, knowledge of fashion
• Cons: none

Great stylist....I'm a client for life

by jenniBeck

i just wanted to take a minute to write and let others know how happy I am with my recent shopping trip with Chic Inspiration and all of my new clothes! Ella did a really great job - the new style totally suits me and the price points were right on. Thank you so much. I really feel great getting dressed in the mornings - and especially when going out at night. My husband absolutely loves everything too. I wanted to get this up here since I myself was a bit hesitant when approaching a service like this and now can't believe why I didn't do it sooner. Thanks again for everything.

Excellent experience!

by ardernNYC

You guys are awesome and extremely knowledgeable personal shoppers! Anyone would be lucky to enlist your services for a closet purge and styling session. Ella did a fabulous job getting my wardrobe in shape. I love the outfits she put together for me - many of which I would?ve never put together! She pulled me out of my style rut and showed me how to make more of a statement when I dress. And it feels great! No more sweatpants to the grocery store, I promise!

Thank you Chic Inspiration!!!!!!!!

by sonia58

Chic Inspiration has elevated the process of cleaning out and organizing a closet to an art form. Ella helped me pare down my wardrobe to the clothes that look good on me, and set up the closet so that it's easy to reach in and put together an attractive outfit. She has made it so much easier to start my day, without having to search through piles of clothes or try on five different things.

• Pros: Less stress!
