“…My problem, Spring ’08 and Julie, left with the daunting task of outfitting myself, for the Spring and Summer. Winter isn’t so tough…throw on a suit and go. For Spring and Summer, I still wanted to make sure my wardrobe said “I’m in charge.” The other problem, I didn’t have the time to shop for the right choices. I wanted to use color to make an outstanding first impression. I needed to be memorable. Some new vital pieces were required right away.With a very strong reference from a dear friend who adored her Urban Darling Mommy makeover, I immediately called Corinne Phipps with Urban Darlings. She came over on the first day and tore into my dated closet. We got rid of so much I was holding onto…some of it over 15 years old…long overdue really. The next day we went shopping and it was amazing. Four and ½ hours of committed shopping…the dresses, the shoes, the pants suits and tank tops, the purse, the jewelry…the works. The final day, Corinne came to my home again and paired my existing wardrobe, with the new, to stretch my outfits beyond my wildest dreams.This was an absolutely amazing experience. I was a compulsive shopper before…just buying what I needed at that moment. Now I can say that with the help of Urban Darlings, I own a wardrobe that I adore. I have so many great choices on a daily basis. It’s really fun to see what I’ll pull together for the day. Corinne is exceptional. She has a great eye for fashion and appreciates working for you. Most importantly she makes it fun and exciting. An experience I guarantee I will repeat several times a year.”

I highly recommend the team at Urban Darling! They have been on our fashion side for a few years now and I cannot say enough good things – actually I feel horrible that this is my first review!

My boss is a renowned speaker, author and business woman and she will ONLY use Corinne and her team over at Urban Darling to help her with her business outfits – whether it be for meetings or stage presence – they are amazing at what they do.

I recently had to get some business outfits and Corinne really helped express my style and got me into things that I never would have picked out for myself – and I have SO many compliments.

I highly recommend Urban Darling to anyone!

Thanks,

If you are in business, you need a stylist. As a professional speaker, coach and author I am consistently in the public eye. It only took one bad set of pictures to set me straight. My wardrobe and the impression I make on the world directly impacts my bottom line. Corrine has the ability to completely understand my brand and helped me to create a style that had me stand out from the crowd in a brilliant way. I felt more beautiful, more confident and it shows in the revenue I am able to generate while on stage. Thanks Corinne!

I have yet to be the recipient of a closet audit, but I have followed Corinne’s Urban Darling and, more recently, her articles on NBC Bay Area Online. I am impressed! Now, imagine my surprise when Corinne called me, interested in writing an article about my boutique! She called me! I was flattered, to say the least. Absolutely honored by her kind words, and her sheer excitement to write about Simply Smashing!

I find Corinne to be very knowledgeable in her field, with an innate gift for style & sensibility. She is honest – love that about her. Genuine is another word that comes to mind. And the girl is a hard worker!

As impressed as I am with Corinne’s closet auditing/personal shopping skills, I find her writing ability and sense of “sharing the wealth” with women in business, equally as admirable. When she interviewed me for her article, Corinne was quick-witted and alert to my style. In fact, she helped me to redefine my style!! And then, there was her article. A great read if I do say so myself! She got my boutique and she got me. Love that about Corinne

i am still in a little bit of shock at the "mad deals" we got all over the place. That zipper tank top from Urban Outfitters was a steal for $19.99. Note: the link is not the actual one we bought, but this is close. Tina, we'll see you next month for the adventures in shoe land.

well I am blushing, thank you Twisted Silver!! I have to tell you, I am hooked on you. You had me at Twisted. Thank you for the awesome kudos. And, by the way, I have worn the Phatty necklace everyday since I got it.

Corinne is exactly the medicine a sick closet needs! She is able to see through the wadded mess of clothes and accessories and say, “Um, THIS works…but, yikes, THAT doesn’t” Her ability to scan through with a laser-focus and really SEE a style image is nothing short of gifted.

Twisted Silver by Debra Mitchell was made for style mavens like Corinne. She’s able to take a necklace, stack of bracelets or rings, and know exactly how to rock it… even in unconventional ways… to make a signature and very personal style. Everyone at Twisted Silver is THRILLED to pieces to have Corinne as an official Twisted Insider

I admit it I don’t like to shop… But shopping with Corinne was the best experience I have ever had!
First she cleaned out the cob webs in my closet or old outdated clothes. Then we made a date to hit the stores.
I’m more of a hunter not a shopper I only go when there is something I NEED. So I have a very disjointed wardrobe.
Corinne put me back together again. Picked pieces that work together and work for me and my body type. Plus I will actually have fashionable clothes for once. I was always way behind before.
I can’t wait for my next outing with Corinne. We found some Mad Deals also… Bonus!

“In the past I have considered myself a person who was “in the know” when it came to fashion and style. Fast forward to now, and my closet was a graveyard of fashions that once were!
In stepped Corinne, wardrobe stylist. In just a few hours, she not only transformed my closet into a well-organized, USEABLE space, but now I see what does and does not look good on this post-baby body! Let me tell you, it was hard seeing 7 bags of clothes in my hallway, but if really feels good knowing that every piece in my closet is now a wow piece and not a “Oh jeez is that all I have?” piece.
My next step is to take her with me when I go shopping . I just need that fashion eye that I guess I don’t have anymore, and I know she does.”

“I’ve always been a lone shopper. Maybe because none of my friends share my body shape or my style sense! Corinne was so easy and fun to shop with, we found some amazing stuff and she steered me in directions that I would never thought of. It’s been only 3 days and I think I have worn every piece we got while shopping, and felt great wearing them!”

“I’m in awe of how FUN Corinne & Stefanie insist on having, despite being down (it’s an emotional process) or simply tired from all the shopping! It’s always fun, always a good letting-go process, then the shopping: she’s an amazing bargain hunter and no-nonsense friend. Best shopping experience, bar none.”
