I went shopping with Ella last week, and for the first time since I had my baby - I actually enjoyed purchasing clothing! Not only did she make it fun to shop again, but it was done is such an easy, casual way that it felt like going shopping with a good friend. Ella gave me many fabulous ideas about styles and colors that I would never have thought of and ended up purchasing some wonderful additions to my out of date wardrobe. Any woman out there can understand that having a baby changes your body, and sometimes it doesn't want to change back with a fight! The clothing that we choose made me feel confident and classy and complimented by body; we bought some casual stuff, as well as items for the office. I have gotten numerous compliments by coworkers and strangers! What a great feeling!

In my profession it is very important to look appropriate at all times. When I first met Ella - I didn't know the difference in quality of a suit other than check the price tag. Ella has shown me how to best select quality clothing and still minimize costs. I've learned that colors and styles are very important and unique to every individual. Ella has definitely opened my mind to the importance of dressing well to maximizing your image. I, like most guys, do not enjoy shopping for clothes. But with Ella, it was both educational and fun. I have received many compliments about the way I dress and I owe it all to her!

I recently had Ella over my house for a Wardrobe Renovation and I can't believe what a difference she made in my wardrobe. For the past few days, I have been getting dressed in 5 minutes, looking great, and receiving compliments from friends AND strangers! She is truly amazing at what she does. I can't wait to bring her back from some shopping!

Ella is amazing. I like nice clothes but am not a great shopper--I have no sense of what will look good until I try it on...so I just try on everything in the store. It takes forever and is not fun. Shopping with Lili is a completely different experience--I show up, she has an entire room of carefully-curated clothes ready to go, we try things on rapid fire for a couple of hours, and at the end I have a ton of pieces that fit me and are flattering. She also pushes me to buy some more interesting pieces than I would on my own, and has introduced me to great new designers. Ella is an amazing stylist.

In a few words, if you want an efficient way to look awesome, feel great, get more attention from the ladies (or whatever you're into), and at work then I couldn't recommend Chic Inspiration enough.

Ella is the best! For background, I like to look good - but I'm not that good at - clothes shopping. I end up purchasing stuff that's too similar to what I already have and wasting money and effort. This sparked me to look into a personal shopper. Upon finding Chic Inc and Ella through a friend, I'm now hooked!

Ella's been my personal shopper for the past year and a half. She's incredibly efficient and effective. Before our first shopping experience, I created a pinterest board and told her my shopping goals. I wanted casual clothing for work that was incredibly versatile... to wake up, pick a pair of jeans, a shirt and boots and run out the door.

I had a 3 hour shopping sync with her. We met at Bloomingdales and she had ~30 shirts and 10 pairs of jeans already picked out --all to my style, but also pushing me a little out of my comfort zone. It was amazing to try so many things on and actually like most of them! The challenge was whittling down to what I was going to purchase. Subsequently I've had 2-3 more sessions with her, and she's helped me pick out a leather jacket, jewelry, and other new specific clothing pieces.

She's also super cool, very chill, and easy to get along with --but has a clear POV. She's not afraid to tell you that ‘it doesn't look good’ -which is exactly what you want. I go to her 2-3x per year and look forward to continuing to shop with her for years to come!

I had a WONDERFUL experience with Ella.

As a bit of background, I recently graduated from law school and needed a work and casual wardrobe foundation update.

From the initial consultation, Ella made me feel so comfortable and I felt like she really understood what I was looking for and the style I had in mind. We went shopping a couple of weeks after the initial consult.

Shopping with Ella was ahhhmazing. I don't really like to shop so we planned on three hours to get through as much as we could. And boy did we do well! I got everything I needed and had fun doing it!

I now have a base casual and work wardrobe that I love and that is so versatile.

I could not have been happier working with Ella last month to recast my wardrobe. I had twins almost a year ago and my body shape had changed. My go-to brands didn't feel right anymore and I haven't had the time or energy to shop. Within 4 hours (I bought the basic package with an extra hour for accessories) Lili helped me find perfectly fitting basics -- black slacks, work skirts, jeans, pumps for work - as well as blouses and sweaters in coordinating colors. I have a wardrobe that is fun, easy to mix and match, and sharper than it has ever been. Getting dressed in the morning is now a breeze and I love feeling so chic! I would not hesitate to recommend Ella. I know I'm going to work with her again!

She carefully listened to what I needed from my wardrobe, suggested ways to work with some pieces I owned that I couldn't figure out how to wear and then thoroughly shopped for the elements we decided were missing. To walk into the dressing room at the store and see all the items selected and ready to try on was such a treat! She looked at how each piece fit with her expert eye, worked with the sales staff to get different sizes where necessary and helped me narrow down the pieces I liked to meet my budget. Highly recommended!

After seeing the results, I know that working with the a stylist was one of the best choices I have made all year! I hadn't even realized this service existed until a couple months ago. I was at first a little reluctant to dedicate so much time and money to my wardrobe. I quickly realized how valuable it could be to let a stylist like Ella help me improve and organize my wardrobe.

I had an amazing experience with Ella. She has incredible taste and knew exactly how to make me feel at ease and confident throughout the entire process. I truly appreciated how she listened to my feedback and catered to my desires, while also educating me on how to choose pieces that suit me best and will last through various trends.

Ella is an amazing stylist. Her time with me truly made a positive impact on my life! She educated me on how to discuss and find clothes that suit me best, along with selecting a slew of great outfits for all the different parts of my life. This has been incredibly valuable. Since our meeting, shopping has become much more enjoyable and productive. I feel more confident in my appearance, which has even positively impacted my dating life, and I receive compliments all the time.

Ella completely changed my confidence and comfort with my clothing. She truly knows how to transform a wardrobe, yet still let you be you. It makes it a lot more fun to head out each day knowing that you look put together and are still comfortable! Ella is easy to talk to and truly welcomes your input and opinions so you end up with a closet you feel good about. It is hard to say enough about her, I HIGHLY recommend!!
