Personal Styling

My mission is to help individuals just like me - those who have struggled with their weight and size, or are sick of getting fashion advice that only pertains to certain sizes or body shapes. After my recent rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis, my relationship with my body has shifted in a profound way. There are days when I feel strong and energized — and days when inflammation, fatigue, and pain change what I can wear and how I want to show up. That experience has deepened my purpose. Style isn’t just about looking good - it’s about feeling supported in the body you’re in right now.

I can help you feel confident and amazing in your clothes, no matter your size, your health journey, or what season of life you’re in — because that shit (sizing, the numbers on the scale) really doesn’t matter. You are beautiful. Full stop. And I want you to see that. I want you to be excited to get dressed in the morning. I want your clothes to express your incredible self — without being distracted by pants you keep pulling up, waistbands you secretly unbutton at lunch, stiff fabrics that irritate your skin, or fastenings that are frustrating on flare days. Comfort isn’t giving up. Comfort is power — especially when you’re managing a chronic condition.

As someone who has landed everywhere between sizes 4 and 14, and now living with an autoimmune condition, I understand how to style through change. I’ve dressed myself (and others) through different sizes, shifting body shapes, and evolving careers. No matter which styling service you’re interested in, we’ll start with a discovery session to see where you are and where you’re going. And if you’re not sure where you want to go — especially if health changes have left you feeling disconnected from your style — we’ll figure that out together.

I can help you shop with intention, create amazing outfits from pieces you already own, and identify the best silhouettes and fabrics for your body so you feel like a million bucks (without spending a million bucks). I’m the queen of shopping on a budget, finding incredible sales, and sourcing pieces you’ll get serious mileage out of. You don’t need a massive budget or a brand-new wardrobe. Often, it’s about reimagining what you already have and adding a few thoughtful pieces — whether you’re entering a new season of weather or a new season of life.

My styling goes beyond clothes. It’s about health, wellness, energy, and how you show up in the world — especially when your body asks you to slow down, adapt, and care for yourself differently. It’s about helping you feel like the strongest, most aligned version of YOU.

Style confidence isn’t gender-specific and my services expand to include everyone, not just female-identifying individuals.

The best way to get started is to send me an email. We’ll figure out which package makes the most sense for you, and I’ll provide a custom quote based on your needs. I can’t wait to hear from you.

THE STYLE REFRESH (Shopping Experience)

Shopping can feel overwhelming. Bright lights, too many options, fitting room frustration, decision fatigue — it’s a lot. And if you’re navigating body changes, energy dips, or health flare-ups, it can feel even heavier. That’s where I come in.

The Style Refresh Experience is designed to take the stress out of shopping and turn it into something supportive, efficient, and even fun. I handle the strategy so you don’t have to.

I pre-shop and curate pieces specifically for your body, lifestyle, and budget. You try everything on with me, we edit thoughtfully, and only the best comes home. During this session I’ll share some styling tips and we’ll style them into multiple outfits that will seamlessly integrate into your existing wardrobe. The goal is versatility, longevity and clothes that truly work for you.

This isn’t just shopping, it’s a strategic refresh - whether your body has changed, your career has shifted, the season has turned or you simply want to feel excited about getting dressed again.

No chaotic mall wandering. No impulse buys. No settling!

Please Note: This is a 2 Hour Booking; extra time may be needed or added.

THE WARDROBE REBOOT (Closet Refresh)

You open your closet. It’s full. And yet… you have nothing to wear. You’re bored. You’re uninspired. Or the pieces you used to love just don’t fit — physically or emotionally — the way they once did.

The Wardrobe Reboot is about rediscovering what’s already there and making it work for the body and life you have right now.

Most of us already own beautiful, high-potential pieces. We just get stuck wearing them the same way on repeat. Together, we’ll re-style your wardrobe into fresh, exciting outfits that make you want to turn up the music and show up as your most confident, powerful self. During our session, we will:

• Reimagine and style new outfit combinations from what you already own

• Identify what no longer serves you (goodbye guilt pieces)

• Pinpoint what’s missing so future shopping is intentional — not random (You’ll receive a stoppable PDF document after your session)

• Talk through dressing for your current body shape, comfort needs, and lifestyle and clarify your likes, dislikes, and your personal style direction

You’ll walk away with a clearer closet, outfit formulas you can rely on, and a renewed sense of excitement about getting dressed. Because your wardrobe shouldn’t feel like a daily battle.

My Personal Styling experience with Aldona was so worth it! We went through my closet, looking at pieces that I thought only worked on their own or with a specific bottom or top. Aldona guided me to reimagine my wardrobe and how to style one piece multiple ways! She also reminded me how powerful a simple belt can be to help elevate an outfit, making me look more put together. I'm really excited to go forward with her recommendations and shop for some new pieces to help round out what I already own. Thank you for helping me feel prepared as I step into a new job back into a corporate setting! -Leah
I was going through a big transition in my professional life, and needed a wardrobe that reflected that, but still felt like me. I was incredibly nervous-going shopping with someone else. As someone who’s had her share of meltdowns in the change room when things aren’t fitting or nothing feels quite right, it seemed like it might cause old anxieties to flare up. But I needed help, so I took the plunge and couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Not only did it mean I saved an immense amount of time, it also took the headache out of shopping - I arrived to a rack full of clothes, in stores Aldona and her team had scoped out in advance to ensure it had options that aligned with my goals and needs. There was no pressure to purchase or go beyond my budget. Nearly every piece I’d listed as needing in my wardrobe we were able to find, and all of it in record time. I learned about what cuts and colours worked best, and came away not just with new clothes, but a better knowledge of my style - and I thought I already knew what I liked! Most importantly, it was incredibly fun.

I've been telling all of my friends about how wonderful of an experience it was and I've been sharing photos of my outfits! -Kathryn L.
Aldona has styled me for a number of media publications, including for an Avenue Magazine Style Q&A feature, and I truly value the way that she approaches beauty and style. She empowers each and every woman to look within themselves, find their inner beauty, and have the courage to express this fabulous stylish clothing pieces that speak power, femininity and innovation
-Jennifer Dooley
I hired Aldona to shop for some work outfits. It was a great all-around experience. Aldona pulled some clothes I wouldn’t have picked out if I was shopping by myself and to my surprise, her picks were great. Sometimes you have to try something on and think outside of the box. Most importantly, her picks made me feel good about myself and I still get compliments at work. She did it all within budget. The shopping session was worth the investment as it only took 2 hrs of great company to update my wardrobe with many versatile outfits.
-Aurelie M.
Aldona’s ability to pull together the perfect look which is both stylish and practical makes for the ideal costumer for shows that want to show more than just clothes, but really show a characters‘ identity and spirit.
-JP Thibodeau, Director (Naughty but Nice)
I hate shopping. I hate the way that I look in the mirror, I hate the lighting and it's frustrating when nothing seems to fit. I've known Aldona for over a decade through the theatre community, and after being in maternity wear for 2 years and COVID, I decided to hire her for a shopping expedition. She tailored the experience to my style and preferences and there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything that I wasn't comfortable in or that wasn't within budget. It was such a fabulous experience and I've been complimented on every piece that I bought. People at work have commented that I have transformed. I rave about Aldona's styling services. She's amazing.
-Jenna Shummoogum
I would highly recommend Aldona! She put so much work into prepping for the day and came ready with some look ideas. I felt comfortable to be honest about what I liked and didn’t like and I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything. I ended up with multiple outfits that I look and feel good in. While we were shopping, I learned a bunch of tools on how to style my body type, which will help me when I’m shopping on my own. She patiently answered all of my questions. She’s great company and a good laugh. Please treat yourself to a styling appointment t with Aldona!
-Diandra
This was my first experience with a stylist & I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do this with, Aldona was fantastic from start to finish. I enjoyed the experience and would certainly do it again!
Aldona made me feel very comfortable during the process, no pressure to buy or say no to anything I didn’t like. I tried on clothes I would never have tried on, it will help me with future purchases as I find my own style - it was a fun experience! I highly recommend every man try this & I highly recommend Aldona to help style you. Happy shopping!
- Lawrence Rowley
I’m an older mom (over 40) with a five-year-old and a two-year-old, and I was preparing to return to the corporate world after a year and a half of maternity leave when I found Aldona and her fashion services. Between COVID and having two babies during that time, my wardrobe hadn’t been updated in over five years. I was only wearing maternity/postpartum clothes and I felt completely overwhelmed. I didn’t have the time to shop endlessly, I didn’t know what was on trend, and I wasn’t sure what would work best for my postpartum body—all while my return-to-office date was quickly approaching.
Aldona was an absolute saving grace. She took all of that anxiety away from the moment we started working together. She is incredibly kind, professional, and intuitive—she immediately understood my style and came fully prepared with an entire rack of clothing to try on. She created so many versatile, mix-and-match outfits that I absolutely loved, including pieces I never would have thought to try on my own.
I cannot recommend Aldona’s services highly enough. She made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable, and the results were truly transformative. I would hands down hire her again and would encourage anyone in a similar situation to do the same. Everyone needs Aldona in their lives! - Kirsten Wahlstrom
