I highly recommend Mary Lou Manlove for styling. She has worked with me on two occasions. She helped me shop for clothing when I was pregnant and recently helped me prepare for a professional photo shoot. When I was pregnant, Mary Lou helped me feel like I could look my best even though I had put on a good amount of weight. She went shopping with me and helped me understand the best colors and shapes for me to wear. Before I spent the afternoon with her, I thought she was going to tell me stuff I already knew, but she taught me a lot about what looks good on me and what doesn’t. The things I brought home were enthusiastically approved of by my husband, and I felt confident when I wore them.
This last week she came over to my house and helped me pick clothes for a photo shoot that communicated the messages I wanted to send in the pictures. With her help, I got exactly the looks I wanted.
Mary Lou does closet consultation, personal wardrobe shopping, special event styling and outfit coordination in addition to helping her clients figure out the jewelry that looks best on them. My husband and I both agree that I have benefited greatly from working with Mary Lou. ~ Krista R. Mountain View, CA
Hi Mary Lou!
My color palette is working out so well. I bought a bunch of tank tops in the various colors, a brown skirt and a blue skirt, and a really great brown sweatshirt, and took them with me for our trip. Combined with denim capris, a brown bag and shoes I already owned, I had the perfect travel wardrobe! I even got stopped on the street a couple times with compliments! AND, for the first time, I packed really well for a trip. Everything matched, everything worked together, and I used everything I brought.I am looking forward to adding in some prints as time goes on, hopefully a dress or two, and of course some more wonderful sweaters because I can’t resist them. I finally found the olive green scarf I was telling you about the day you were here, and it’s going to work really well with what I already have.So all is well and I feel so much more confident every day. It’s so nice to have a good color on, I feel like I look so much better that I’ve stopped wearing make up most days! For a girl who almost never left her house without it, that’s saying a lot!Thank you again for everything. Please keep me posted on upcoming swaps, workshops, etc.Take care,~ Claire

I think everything went well at the photo shoot. I probably could have used a little help with my hair. It would have been good if the make-up person explained what she was doing, how and why, so I could repeat it at home. The other make-up person you gave me the contact information for provided a picture of a face with explanations how to apply the make-up, very helpful. The woman on Friday did a really nice job on my make-up. I would like her contact information in case I need to get her help in the future.
The photographer was great, good tips about how to pose for the photos. Maybe a little flyer from him for reference on those tips, the sit up straight, bend at the waist, chin down. That made a big difference in the photos. I’m excited to see the final print!
