let’s uncover your true style, purge what doesn’t fit, and create a closet full of clothes you’ll love.
I know what it’s like to struggle in the Style department. I moved to NYC as a Graphic Designer seeking to become an Interior Designer…and even with ALL that design experience, I had zero style! I needed help.
So I hired a Stylist to help me clean out my closet and take me shopping. It was an amazing and empowering experience! Mostly. The essential piece that was missing was a deep dive into who I am, my lifestyle, and how that translates to my personal Style.
Fortunately, I’ve been able to piece that together over the years, but it’s not easy to do on your own, and you shouldn’t have to. Style Therapy to the rescue.
I created this Style Intensive because maybe you’re like me and you didn’t have:
stylish role models or glossy fashion magazines to learn from.
freedom of expression (other people telling you how you “should” dress).
the opportunity to explore fashion and different styles to even know what you truly like.
the confidence to try new things.
someone to guide you through the beautifully messy process of style discovery, purging what doesn’t fit, and creating a core closet you love.
If this is you, keep on reading…
welcome to your style awakening intensive!
STYLE THERAPY
Style Therapy is all about finding the real you. Together we’ll uncover your true style-self under all those old style beliefs (aka “shoulds”). Turns out, we get “should” on a lot in life!
Disclaimer: not a replacement for your mental health professional.
A SAFE SPACE TO BE SEEN
You’ll go on this style journey in small groups of 3 or less. This gives you the individual attention you need and deserve, plus a safe, supportive space to practice being seen. You’ll build self-trust and confidence while learning from each other’s style experiences.
STYLE INDEPENDENCE
I’ll be guiding you through the beautifully messy style discovery process. Once you learn how to know yourself and to trust your creative intuition, you’ll no longer be dependent on others to tell you how to dress or what’s right for you.
CONFIDENCE + STYLE CLARITY
You’ll learn simple + life-changing tools to help you un-learn the style-beliefs that are holding you back. With this new self-awareness and skillset, you’ll experience a new level of confidence, style clarity and self-trust.
PERSONALIZED PINTEREST BOARD
We’ll use Pinterest as an insightful and powerful creative tool! You’ll learn to identify your “hell yes!” and practice purging what doesn’t fit. You’ll walk away with a virtual mood board and visual shopping guide that aligns to your newly discovered authentic style.
CLOSET CLEANOUT
We’re going to spend a day going through your closet piece by piece! We’ll decide which clothes are truly your style, which need to go, and learn to organize everything beautifully as we build your ideal core closet.
CORE CLOSET CREATION
Together we’ll look at how your life functions, alongside your dreamy new authentic style, and plan out your ideal core closet. I’m talking detailed shopping lists and an online shopping excursion to make it all a reality.
PRINTABLE WORKBOOK
I’ve created a printable Workbook so you can hold your roadmap in your hands. Your Workbook will be a journal of your experience and a guide to refer to throughout your style discovery process and future evolution.
“Working with Lara and bouncing ideas back and forth was very helpful because it really narrowed down the things I loved and/or hated in a way that was concise and easy for me to follow. It's been a lot easier to pick pieces out that I know I'll wear.”
“The most helpful thing was the Pinterest board. Just seeing that I tend to lean towards a more masculine/non-binary style of clothing was helpful because it made me feel more comfortable putting on that style of clothing. There was a strange sense of confidence with that.”

( WEEK 1 ) STYLE THERAPY
sets the stage with a deep dive into which parts of your current style-self are authentically you, and which parts have been given to you by other people.
we’ll work through soul searching questions that bring clarity and build a foundation of self-awareness as we move through the style discovery process.
you’ll learn valuable tools to identify and release the “shoulds” (old conditioning & beliefs) that are holding you back and keeping you in hiding, or playing small.
we’ll flip the script on those “shoulds” and discover how YOU want to show up in your life with authentic style and confidence.
( WEEK 2 ) STYLE DISCOVERY
we’ll start by learning what styles excite you and define your style vibe in words that create both a visual understanding and a distinct feeling.
using Pinterest for soul-deep discovery, we’ll experiment and play in the world of fashion as we hone in on your unique style-voice.
you’ll learn to identify your “hell yes!” and decisively purge what doesn’t fit.
we’ll get super specific about your ideal color palette, silhouettes, and style details that create your ideal wardrobe.
( WEEK 3 ) CLOSET CLEANOUT
just like you have to clear out old style beliefs to make room for the new…you have to clean out your closet to make room for the wardrobe of your dreams.
we’ll spend 3 hours sorting through each piece of clothing and deciding if it’s a keeper…or time to say goodbye. you’ll use your intuitive “hell yes!” as your guide so that you feel confident in your decisions.
i’ll use my experience as a designer to help you understand which pieces enhance your unique features and what to look for in future style purchases.
we’ll develop a core closet plan that fits your specific lifestyle and style needs.
( WEEK 4 ) LET’S GO SHOPPING!
we’ll combine everything we’ve learned about who you are stylistically and how your wardrobe needs to function in your life to create your ideal Core Closet Shopping List.
continuing to trust your “hell yes!”, we’ll go on an online shopping excursion to build a Core Closet of pieces you’ll love.
I’ll teach you how to shop in a way that avoids annoying shopping mistakes, wasted money, and falling into the trap of old style beliefs and patterns.
you’ll now have a Pinterest Board full of ideal clothing options to try on in real life as you upgrade your closet and your style confidence at your own pace.
“My biggest struggle before working with Lara was making a purchase on something I only liked, that seemed to get to my closet and then never get worn. After working with her I have been able to only purchase something because I knew I loved it and wanted to wear it.”
“The way Lara helped my work through narrowing down from what I just liked to what I actually loved has truly helped me in what I choose to purchase. I believe because of her ability to teach me how to know the difference, I have saved money and made better choices.”
