I have created a shopping experience that allows you to find your new favorite clothes, without worrying about sizes, getting caught up in feelings about your body, or searching stores for exactly what you’re looking for. You get to try on clothes, and decide how you feel about them, with permission to say how you really feel, without judgment.
YOUR INTUITIVE
PERSONal STYLIST
Hi Love, I’m Susan Padron (SHE/HER)
as seen in:
I believe that clothes can be functional, comfortable, and a tool to build confidence. My mission is to have you leaving our styling session with newfound excitement and confidence to be the fierce person you are!
HELPING YOU FIND & FEEL CONFIDENT IN YOUR CLOTHES
My mISSION
I’m a nurturing but sassy, 5’2”, suburban mom with lots of tattoos, and a tendency to use colorful language, whose mission is to get you to stop hiding, rediscover yourself, and step out as the confident individual that you are meant to be.
Style is for everyone! I believe that everyone deserves to feel unique- like they are truly one-of-a-kind- because I know you already are.
Just like you grow and change, so does your style. When your style doesn’t evolve, you feel stagnant and stuck, which creates blocks in other areas of your life. Not updating your style to reflect your new sense of self can prevent you from living the life you crave. Let’s showcase your energy and help you shine.

THE VALUES THAT GUIDE MY WORK
STYLING “RULES” BASED ON GENDER, PATRIARCHAL VIEWS OF FASHION, OR BODY SIZE DON’T EXIST
here, we believe
where i have been
a look back at
Styling “rules” based on gender, patriarchal views of fashion, or body size don’t exist in my book. I’m here to help you authentically show up in every space and setting in clothes that you feel AMAZING wearing.
Creating a wardrobe that is exciting and feels good for my clients, to boost their confidence and self-esteem, is why I love what I do!
Seeing the emotional and physical transformation clothes can have for a person is one of the best feelings. I truly love being able to witness the transformation, of someone finally showing up as who they are, instead of hiding behind clothes that no longer resonate with who they are now.

Becoming a mom was the shift in my life where I went from dressing to impress everyone around me, to needing to show up for myself. I began struggling my own identity, self worth and self care.
