Tristin is an amazing artist who has an incredible eye. She can style on a budget or go the whole nine yards if you want her to. She can even make an ordinary bloke look like a rockstar.

I have known Tristin for many years and can attest to her incredible work ethic, talent and fun personality. When I was cast in the WB show “Gilmore Girls” and throughout the seven years that the show was on the air Tristin has been my go to stylist. Besides having a wonderful fashion sense she also knows how to work with her client to make sure they are comfortable in each outfit. It doesn’t matter what the latest trend is, if you don’t feel comfortable you won’t look good. She knows how to work with the individual to find what flatters them best.

Tristin is also extremely approachable and she makes the shopping experience fun. Not everyone loves to shop. I am one of them. She creates a relaxing atmosphere so that we can get the most done in the shortest amount of time. I have also noticed that she works well with men in this way. Most guys don’t like shopping either so she makes the time that they spend count.

Lets face it. Clothes are important. They give that first impression and it can either say “I’m confident and I’m ready to take on any challenge” or “I’m just running out to get a pint of Hagen Daas, don’t mind me”. So even though I would love to spend my life in Boxer shorts and Baggy Ts I know that sometimes you have to dress the part and Tristin is the one to get you there.

Christine is amazing!

I worked with her for several upcoming red carpet events and she put me in touch with some amazing new designers. She handpicked pieces for my style and had them sent right to my doorstep. Some of my favorite pieces that people talked about most were suggestions I never would have found without her.
She also coordinated a fashion contest for fans of mine on polyvore. (It’s something people still talk about!)

She was also willing to work with me long distance online to help me decide what to wear! She’d take my panic-y questions at any time.

Great personal service! Hire her!

Christine is amazing. I was really in a bind of needing an amazing outfit for a professional business photo shoot. I was working late and felt overwhelmed and knew I didn’t have time in the day to go shopping or spend countless hours looking for a “look”. I only had two hours to spare two days prior to the event. I did a quick email search at midnight during the work week and came across a Superwomen Christine. She immediately responded, others did not, better yet she was professional, on point and budget. I brought a girlfriend with me to our two hour styling session just in case. We were both blown away by Christine!! Not only was she an excellent stylist but she was budget conscious too, and I had already resolved that I was going to have to spend a fortune. She found me a look and more within two hours and she saved me money too! I can’t recommend her enough. I will definitely use her again. Thanks again Christine!!

I just wanted to share this with you… The Baby and I met my husband out for dinner tonight, he said I looked really good and so put together. He said he loved what you did with me! I’m so glad that I found you. I just want you to know that the work that you do is really important and it changes lives. You should be proud. Thank you again.

Christine was a pleasure to work with, she did such a good job of planning the whole shoot and organizing all the logistics, we didn’t even have to do much in planning because she took care of it all! We really loved the finished product and she even organized an additional interview with Project NewspeakTV to get us press for our photo shoot. She was so sweet and so fun to work with…it was a really long shoot and her energy and enthusiasm really kept everyones energy up. Her sense of style was amazing. The funny thing is that I had been eying this pair of Marciano shoes for a month and hadn’t been able to find them in stores. How surprised was I when I got to the shoot and she had that pair of shoes for me to wear as if she read my mind! On the shoot I messed up a pair of the shoes somehow (not on purpose!) and she was so understanding about it, I felt really bad about it and she handled it with such dignity and class, I cant wait to work with her again!

After several frustrating shopping experiences and the realization that I kept buying the same things over and over again, I decided to set up a time with a stylist. I chose Christine because of the reviews and other comments on Yelp. I met with Christine yesterday for a closet audit. She said that my closet was organized (thank goodness) but that I didn’t have a lot of color or accessories. She immediately put together a combination of a shirt and trousers that I never would have figured out on my own, and explained what I needed. She suggested that we go shopping right away and asked me to bring some items that I didn’t know how to style. While shopping, Christine continued to put together outfits and colors that I loved but never would have considered. She has a great eye for what works and what doesn’t. She encouraged me to try new things (i.e. belts!) and didn’t push if I didn’t love something. I had a great time with her and hope to meet with her again in the fall. I highly recommend her services!

Were do I start!?! Firstly Christine was very professional with her work. She put together the most amazing outfits for my photo shoot with Rachel. Other than the fact that shes a pro I had a great time with her throughout the whole shoot!! I’m so glad I chose her as my stylist. You won’t go wrong working with Christine!

I really wasn’t sure what to expect as I thought my closet was pretty well organized already but Christine blew me away. She went through every closet in my apartment and came up with a comprehensive plan on how to rearrange everything including coats, shoes, etc to make my space most useful. And this girl is not just a planner she is do-er! At the end of my session every item I own had been evaluated and organized! My closets look fab and she is all about little details like finding matching hangers that really make a difference.

For me the most valuable part of this service was her help in evaluating what to get rid of. I have no emotional attachment to clothes but I have trouble determining if something is worth keeping because it might come back in style or be able to be worn in a new way. Christine picked which of my clothes were outdated or didn’t work for me and best of all she explained WHY! This was seriously invaluable as now I know what colors, cuts, and fabrics to look for and which to avoid. I really feel like I gained a lot of knowledge about clothes and what is best for my body type.

Now I am trying to talk my boyfriend into using her services – I think she would be especially useful for guys since most of you seem to have no clue what to wear or what looks good on you (sorry but it’s true!). Overall a fun, useful, and absolutely 5 star service!

I HATE shopping, but I like to look nice, it makes me feel better about myself and I’m in a better mood. I realized I needed help- I kept buying stuff on my own, but I didn’t know how to get the most out of my wardrobe. I would have trousers, but no tops to match, tons of skirts, but no shoes to wear with them….always looking a bit unfinished.

Christine to the rescue! She came over for a two hour closet audit. After about an hour, she was very honest and said I needed more texture and pattern to really bring my wardrobe together. Everything I had was simple and solid–hence the “boring-ness” (my term). She very kindly adjusted her rate and we agreed to meet for a shopping day on another date to focus on accent pieces and accessories. I was grateful and appreciative for her honesty–that’s exactly what I needed– a little bit of “what not to wear” truthfulness.

We went shopping yesterday and got some amazing things, without spending thousands of dollars. Creative, fun and stylish–I’ve now changed the way I think about shopping.

The best thing Christine has done for me is made me realize I need to look at how I dress myself like how I approach my cooking. When I cook, I look at what I have in the pantry and try to think of what creative meal I can prepare with what I have. I now think about layering, texture and balance with how I dress in the same way. I feel better about how I look and I have to think that helps me deal with clients at work and just relieve stress in general.

You can either keep shopping on your own, spending money on clothes you may or may not wear–or you can take those dollars and have someone really help you figure out your wardrobe with what you already have.

Plus she’s super nice, fun and professional!

I have just had Christine come to my house for a closet audit, the first of what I’m sure will be several sessions. When my husband came home from work and saw the pile of stuff to get rid of, he was a little annoyed that now I would say I didn’t have anything to wear (my closet is impeccable now!). Surprisingly, I feel that I have more outfits to choose from. While she didn’t even get through all the clothes I had left, she photographed 10 outfits that, while I never would have thought to put them together, I LOVE them and can’t wait to wear them. So, now my husband is interested in having her do his closet – to start…

We still have a few more outfits to go. Our next meeting is for shopping and the budget she came up with for me is so affordable that I can actually look forward to it! My 20 year high school reunion is in August and while I’ll be managing the physical aspect of that, Christine is already hired for that outfit that must be spectacular.

…I had given Tristin a budget ahead of time and she really did a great job of staying within it…I was about to grab a cute camisole for $50 at one of our non thrift store shops, Free People, but she quickly reminded me that I didn’t need it and we could find a comparable camisole for much less…and here I was thinking it was a great deal! Who knew that paying a wardrobe stylist would actually save money???I walked away with some great clothes today for my fall wardrobe and can’t wait to go shopping with Tristin again!

Christine M is a great style guru. I have worked with her twice for editorial shoots and she is always on the mark. Not only can she style a photo shoot she can be hired to style you!! I am so impressed with her ability to find great pieces from different price ranges and designer or vintage she makes it all work together!! Working with a pro like Christine has been a pleasant and great experience. She is one in a million. Check her out!

Well, it’s been two weeks since Christine came over to organize my closet and I can say that I have NEVER kept my closet so organized for this long! It’s like a little piece of heaven every time I open the door!

She also did a great job helping me weed out some pieces I was questioning, and helped me find new outfits with the pieces we kept. Can’t wait to schedule a shopping trip with her in the fall. I highly recommend her services!

I had picked up an incredibly important clothing shoot, it was going to be a major undertaking with a bunch of models and plenty of different changes. I knew exactly who I should call, tristinstyling. Like a total pro Christine arrived on the shoot early, full of energy, and ready for a challenge.

Even when faced with finding out that our shipment of women’s tops hadn’t arrived. Christine came up with a solution on the fly for creating a little slip dress out of one of the men’s shirts, not only was the idea spot on, it made the shoot, and with her quick thinking we didn’t loose any light during this magic-hour shoot.
I would work with her again, anytime.

Tristin has a fabulous eye for fashion and an invaluable skill to get the clients what they want. It’s rare to find people who are able to do both.

So far, all three days this week I’ve been wearing outfits you put together for me at work. I got compliments on my blouse that I don’t think I’ve ever worn to work. I can’t wait to see what you’ve listed for me to buy to add to my wardrobe. I can already see things that I need now that my wardrobe is pared down. Its so much easier now and mind clearing!

Thanks for the fabulous job. You saved me money by not having to buy new clothes and made it more fun to have new outfits with what I already own.

Thanks Christine!

Your advice has inspired me to find news ways to wear the clothes I have and to add color and accessories to otherwise “blah” ensembles.

I already ordered that jacket and some fun costume jewelry from Anthropologie, and picked up an array of colored camisoles, so I am moving in the right direction for Spring. I can’t wait to try out some of the looks you put together for me as soon as the weather cooperates.

Thanks again for your help. I passed my lookbook on to several friends and recommended they meet with you, it was a great opportunity!

I am back from my trip and just now got a chance to check out my lookbook and its great! Thanks so much for coming and helping me with my closet overhaul, I really needed it. You and Vanessa were wonderful to work with, I feel like I have a fresh start with my wardrobe and wow, my closet looks so roomy and neat and organized with all the white hangers all in a row. I will definitely tell everyone about you and your services. Thanks a million!

I really think you get me and I look forward to making my true personality shine through with my clothes rather than just last minute “throw togethers”. I have a lot going on with work the next few days, but I will definitely email you so we can get a shopping day together SOON!

I layered two tops with your inspiration yesterday and it was really cute! got compliments. I know we can get a few things to bring my stuff up to date. you’re the best.

tristinstyling’s remote styling was WONDERFUL!
Here is why:
I had to attend a screening of a short film I did at the San Diego Film Festival. It was my first ‘real’ time attending a film fest that had my own project in it. It was also a good opportunity to catch up with the director, producer, and network!

The big question was… WHAT AM I GONNA WEAR!?

Simple! Call tristinstyling!

1. Take a few digital photos of clothing, send to Tristin and discuss options etc.
2. After choosing one or two outfits, take a few photos in suggested outfits, send to Tristin to discuss.

Ta-da! Easy! I’m not the most fashion savvy gal on the earth (mostly a tomboy growing up and started using make-up at 24 years old… i think that says it all).

My next step is to go shopping with Tristin~~!

Thank you Tristin!

Christine is so wonderfully sweet and cute in her style and personality. We had fun going through my closet (maybe me more then her) cause we got rid of so much of my stuff that I just didn’t know what to do with. I now look at my lookbook when I’m lost on what to wear. Christine will be coming back to my place for another session after I buy some pieces she listed that I needed. Then the fun will continue as we figure out more outfits to wear. Christine’s service was definitely worth it for those who want to add more style with clothes you already have and what you need to add to your own “style”. Thanks Christine!

My shopping adventure with Christine was amazing! Christine is super sweet and is the consummate professional. She is focused, organized, and doesn’t waste any time. She stuck to my budget and made my shopping day fun, exciting and worth every penny. It’s unbelievable how quickly she moves from store to store, sifting through the racks! She pulled quality clothes that were affordably priced, and perfect for my figure. She has such a great eye for fashion. You can see that immediately when she decides on final items and pairs them with shoes and accessories. I learned a lot from our shopping trip and look forward to next season. I just adore my new wardrobe and accessories. Every day I have been wearing my new outfits! There is no more guesswork. Because of her, getting dressed is so easy! Christine is talented, fun, and genuinely passionate about her business. She is so worth it!

I was a bit hesitant when I agreed to meet with Tristin. I never had a fashion tutor. (consultant sounds so strict). The reason I went to Tristin cause I wanted a new look, a new attitude (which comes with the look), and some knowledge about fashion. I got just that.
Like I said I thought this was going to be very awkward. Just from times I watched What Not To Wear; It was tooooooooootally not like that. WOOO!
She was supper friendly and welcoming from the start, and that is when all my doubt floated away, and I relaxed and knew I was going to have fun. I also thought it was going to be a session with just “put on this, put on that, and learn to like it!” And once again, it was not.
She was very professional, and obviously loves her job. She educated me about layering, and how to know when something really fits and answered all my questions. She help me find the look I was going for, and I felt comfortable with. I even bought some things I thought I will never buy (grandma sweater haha. Inside joke), and she made it look good! My confident in cloth shoping totally went up because of her.
People think think you will loose money from a fashion tutor. NOOOOO way. She introduced me to some stores as well that helped me save tones of money! I got like 20 items for the price I would pay for about 5 items. (still shocked)
No regrets what so ever, take it from me and the other 5 star votes. She is the real deal. If your unsure on what to wear, or just want a new look. Go to her!
Any one! I am a young college student, and I went.
