Style Services
Available for clients in New York City and beyond, our styling services and packages include in-home wardrobe sessions, virtual style consulting, personal shopping, and more.
Our work is collaborative and thoughtful. Please book only when you are ready. Once you sign up, all of our packages last up to 90 days or until the package services are used. This allows us to support you most effectively each season.
When we say “style,” we mean an all-encompassing, inside-out feeling that showcases your personality. You wear the clothes, the clothes don’t wear you.
Our joy comes from collaborating with our clients and doing the work together to discover how to bring the fullness of you into your style choices, whether it be for big stages and audiences or weekends with your nearest and dearest.
If you want to feel seen and heard and that you have a welcoming and nonjudgmental space to explore how to feel empowered in your style choices—no matter what setting you walk into or what life phase you are in—then you have come to right place! Through each step of working with BU Style, we are committed to learning together and growing together.
It’s not about influencers or what the outside world says you “should” be. It’s about who you want to be—and how to wear it proudly!
“I have been working with Natalie and BU Style off and on since 2011 and I cannot say more good things about her and her style service. She is the utmost professional but also thoughtful and kind.”

Strategize, Shop, Style
Clear the clutter, shop smarter, and design a style that reflects you. In this up-to-90-day plan, you and your style strategist will start from the ground up to get intentional about your style goals and set a wardrobe foundation you can build on season after season.
-
While reviewing your wardrobe for the current season, your stylist will determine which items to keep, discard, or tailor. In addition to fit and color, your personal stylist will consider personality, lifestyle, and style goals when evaluating your wardrobe.
Our goal is to ensure everything in your closet projects the right image, aligns with your style brand, and makes you feel great! From this session, your style strategist will create your Strategic Shopping List (or SSL, as we like to call it).
— Appointment duration: up to 2 hours*
-
Your style strategist will guide you through the Shop process, which includes a Foundation Shop and as-needed Refine Shop. Your Foundation Shop experience may be arranged as . . .
a department store experience,
stops at various specialty stores or boutiques in one area, or
online finds
— In-person shop duration: up to 2.5 hours*
-
Paring new with old, your style strategist will create a variety of head-to-toe looks just for you! Your wardrobe purchases and freshly styled looks will be added to your Virtual Wardrobe—and you get lifetime access!
— Appointment duration: up to 2 hours*

The BU Style Six Assessment
Our assessment is designed to help you identify your unique style brand based on your individual characteristics: your core values, your beliefs, your purpose, and your goals.
Because we all come from different backgrounds and experiences, we may place different meanings on different adjectives or archetypes. The BU Style Six™ creates a common language and associations that can make your fashion and style discovery more accessible and approachable to you and easily communicated to others.
“After working with Natalie for a few hours I had a wardrobe of clothes that I knew A) all fit well and B) matched each other and my style. It is worth noting I have fewer clothes now than before. But a lot more options and confidence in what I wear.”

Why is a Strategic Shopping List useful?

Prior to the initial shop session, you will receive a link via email to review and approve your SSL.
Upon approval of your SSL, you have 60 days to schedule and complete the Shop sessions; whereas, the package and any remaining sessions will expire.

A memo is a try-on-at-home agreement between you (the buyer) and a retailer (the owner).
This shop option is coordinated by your Style Strategist and allows you to receive merchandise right to your door.
You only pay for what you keep and send the rest back within a certain timeframe.
Why is a memo convenient?
It does not charge your credit card upfront
It allows you to try on merchandise at home
It often includes free shipping and returns
A memo is not ideal if . . .
—you are in the beginning of style exploration
—you are unclear on your general sizing
—you are not planning on purchasing
A memo is available with participating retailers and with an active BU Style service.
