Tannya Bernadette – Personal Shopping + Styling Services

Working with Tannya was amazing and I would highly recommend her! I sought her out because I felt the burden of decades of clothes in my closet that I just couldn’t get rid of. She came over and we chatted a bit about my style, career, etc. I immediately felt at ease and trusted her, which made it so much easier when she put things in the «no» pile to just let it go. In fact after she left I tossed a few more things in there too. I ended up with 10 full bags to donate and a huge weight lifted.
She took notes on what I needed and where my gaps were so that we could fill them in. Shopping with her was so fun! She seriously works her butt off and is so professional! When I arrived she had clothes ready for me at 5 different stores and we hustled all over downtown. She was quick to say yes or no in the dressing room which saved so much time. This same shopping trip would have easily taken me all day, but in just a few hours I had so many items — pants, jeans, skirts, dresses, blouses, t-​shirts, jackets, shoes, jewelry. And I love everything! She put together a book and helped coach me about what to where with what, how to accessorize, tuck in or not, etc. The best part is that I have literally gotten compliments every single day since then. I plan to meet with her in the winter too so I can get some ideas for boots and sweater outfits. I’m so glad I found her. You’ll love working with Tannya!

Tannya is a fashion whiz! My guy purchased the «Real Deal» for me as a birthday gift and I was so impressed by her professionalism, sense of style and ability to clean out some things I was tired of/​did not need, make our shopping trip efficient (and fun) and put together a look book for me that’s practical with outfits I can actually WEAR. I’d suggest Tannya to anyone looking to update, refresh or just augment their current wardrobe with some new ideas and pieces.

Tannya was amazing! I felt crazy hiring a stylist, but it was well worth it. I actually had her purge both my husband and I’s closets and we will be hiring her for some future shopping trips. We were able to get rid of a lot of stuff, and it was a relief having someone take the lead on that and it allowed me to be confident that the right items were being removed. Before she left she put together a few outfits for each of us, we essentially gained new outfits from our old clothes. It is so easy to get caught up buying pieces that are cute but maybe not right for your body type or they just don’t go with your wardrobe and having someone with and eye guiding you can help you avoid those pitfalls and save you so much time and money in the long run.

I had a great time with Tanya in Seattle! She made shopping easy and fun. The experience was great!

I really enjoyed my shopping session with Tannya! I met her at a reasonably priced department store, and she had prepared a dressing room filled with clothing options for me. She had me try on each piece, finding different cuts or sizes when needed to make sure I looked my best. In less than two hours I had a new wardrobe with about 20 items of clothing, within the budget I had given her.
I liked Tannya’s style choices, and that she made sure to get my opinion on pieces that might have been a bit too «out there» for me. I have since received a number of compliments on my outfits, not something I’m used to hearing.

I’m in my early-​mid 30s and the challenge for the last several years has been trying to find the right look that is my age which can be difficult since so many places seem to cater to either juniors or women of an older generation with very few options for those of us in between who want something more than basic vanilla pieces. Add to that a change in workplace a couple years ago that is more fashion forward than the conservative offices I’ve worked in the past and I was due for a fresh perspective.
I worked with Jennifer Saul on my sessions and it was the best investment of time and money. Shopping can be fine for me if I’m just perusing without anything specific in mind, but trying to pull together an entire wardrobe that can also incorporate pieces that I currently own? I am not good at that. What I loved was that Jennifer saw the pieces I have, got a sense of what I tend to lean toward both in colors and style, got an idea of what shapes looked good on me (or didn’t) and also learned what my goals with the session was.
From there, the shopping session was super efficient and awesome! We were able to hit 4 shops and she got me to try on pieces and combine pieces I NEVER would have considered on my own. I also love that she’s aware when a person is actually trying to be reasonable on budget and takes that into account. In the end, all decisions on purchasing were entirely up to me and if I felt comfortable in the piece and she gave some great insight when I would ask questions like about a specific material, shape, or outfit combination. There was no pressure to purchase items that I wasn’t loving or even open to. Since I wasn’t worried about figuring out accessories to go with my outfits, we were able to use the time and my budget to focus on the clothing itself and I left the stores with at least a dozen new key pieces in the span of 2 hours. I honestly don’t know if I can fully express how much I appreciated the efficiency of the process!
The Lookbook was the best thing to help further guide me since I actually got to see what she would recommend pairing together and from there I’m able to come up with some other combinations on my own. Since I’ve started incorporating the pieces and outfits into my rotation, I’ve received so many compliments from people! I feel more confident with what I’m wearing and love trying to pair different pieces together. I’m already planning to use the service again in the future when I’m ready for my next reset because of how well it went!

Cheers to life changes. As a young professional nearing 30, it was definitely time to restructure my wardrobe saying goodbye to those ‘junior section’ clothes from college days, though I’m not quite ready to look like my mom (not that she isn’t beautiful).
I love shopping, but sometimes have a difficult time putting outfits together. Tannya was the perfect choice to help me out. She is such a fantastic stylist with an eye that is beyond most. She was able to help me find my own style that will follow me for years to come.
I purchased the Real Deal package which includes Cleanse, Replenish and Merge phases.
During the Cleanse, Tannya came to my house to go through my closet. First she asked quite a few questions as to what I do for work and pleasure, what kind of style I like, some of my favorite places to shop or get style ideas, etc. She then set out going through items in my closet. She was was so helpful and quick in the process weeding through pieces that should be removed because they were out of style, didn’t quite fit right or were showing signs of wear. We also ended up keeping quite a few pieces that I hand’t worn in a while, mainly because I wasn’t sure how to wear them. Even two months later I am still finding a few things here and there to either get rid of or finding new ways to wear them.
Tannya said she was impressed with portions of my wardrobe, but that I was missing some key basic pieces that would help pull it all together. Next was the Replenish (or shopping) phase to gather these items. We spent about 2 hours shopping at I think it was 6 different stores. Tannya had gone in prior to us shopping and picked out a few items at each store for me to try on. It was quite the whirlwind, but so much fun and I learned so much about my personal style and what to look for when shopping.
The last part of the deal is the Merge. A few days after shopping, Tannya returned to my house. She put together numerous outfits including the pieces newly purchased along with many items already in my closet including shoes and accessories. Each outfit was photographed and later was put in a Lookbook that she provides at the very end for easy referral.

As a fashion photographer, I’m often looking for talented personal shoppers to make the models look their best, and Tannya is amazing!

If you are considering a style consultant hire Tannya, I cannot recommend her highly enough! Qualities that I most appreciate about Tannya are: efficiency, decisiveness, intuitive, professionalism, and of course, fashion sense.
During the cleanse, with Tannya expertly navigating through existing clothes, I felt that she not only understood me, but knew what I needed without me having to explain. Our shopping expedition was literally the best shopping experience of my life. Tannya had the clothes ready, we quickly decided together if the pieces worked, and at the end of just a few hours I had a new spring and summer wardrobe! The Look Book puts all the pieces together, and I use it every day.
Today, for example, I will be attending a college graduation. Pre-​Tannya I would have agonized about what to wear, and would have spent an eternity trying to put together an outfit out of the random pieces in my closet. Even then, I would probably be worried that my clothes weren’t right for the occasion, or that the colors didn’t match, or that they just plain weren’t the right style for me. The post-​Tannya experience is completely different — I opened my Look Book, had a choice of probably 6 different outfits (including shoes and jewelry) that would be appropriate. I picked one, and I’m done! No stress, no worry. Wow.
My experience with Tannya has taken me from shopping-​phobic fashion-​challenged insecurity to calm, comfortable confidence. Tannya has made my life better.

Tannya is a genius in the wardrobe stylist industry! I’ve *never* had any type of fashion sense, yet with Tannya’s help via «The Real Deal», I’m now getting daily comments on my outfits. I went from wearing jeans, T-​shirts, and tennis shoes to wearing stylish everyday outfits that are not only comfortable and appropriate for my lifestyle, but are also within my budget! She provided me with the basic foundation that allowed me to know which clothing items would look best on my figure and that would coordinate with other key pieces in my closet. And with the LookBook that she created, I now have the confidence to purchase additional items and seamlessly blend them into my wardrobe.
Tannya is extremely efficient and pleasant throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her services to everyone — whether you need a simple wardrobe refresher or a complete overhaul like me!

Tannya has an amazing eye, she is smart and understands really quickly what you want.
I had a bad experience in the past when I hired a stylist in LA and she took a very long time to go through my closet and when we went shopping it took forever and I just got one piece of new clothing (I felt that I made a bad deal).
With Tannya I had a completely different experience! She is focused, quick and you really can see the results.
I got the package of cleansing the wardrobe, going out for shopping and getting my look book. My goal was to increase work wear clothes and being able to mix and match them for a more outfits with the same number of clothes.
When shopping, she took me to 4 different stores and I purchased items from all 4 places; 100% results, she found pieces that I loved at all those places. She covered clothes, accessories and shoes. I didn’t feel pressure to buy, we actually put the pieces on hold and when she was gone I came back to purchase. And I like that use of time, I felt she really respected my time, offering her service instead of waiting for me to purchase.
I definitely recommend her. She is a nice person, reserved, professional and focused. I’m going to sign up for a platinum membership where I will have her advice for all the seasons and her coaching in person and also by email.

This is not an expensive thing to do. Dont worry about being taken to full price clothing stores and being told to buy items out of your price range. Tannya is VERY price conscious and will pull from the sale racks. She has a great eye for what will look good on you. I’d take off ½ star if I could for communication. It was hard to reach her at times. I would highly recommend her service.

Tannya was great to work with when I needed some help putting together a wardrobe for a new professional position. She helped me to get rid of items in my closet that were not the right color or the right fit. Tannya was able to pick up on my style in the first 10 minutes of meeting and going through my closet. Shopping was a lot of fun! She picked out clothing that worked with my current wardrobe, especially lots of basics that could be mixed and matched with my previous clothing.
I am very pleased with the service that Tannya provided and I plan on seeing her again in the spring!

Stuck in a fashion rut since grad school, I needed help to get a more polished contemporary look. I love to shop, but never seem to be able to put together many outfits from pieces bought on separate shopping trips. So I purchased «The Real Deal» package with Tannya Bernadette through Bloomspot.
First, The Cleanse. Tannya gave me a lot of pointers on what to get rid of in a closet cleanse. It’s not the typical «if you haven’t worn it in two years, throw it out» because you might have a gem in your closet that you never figured out how to wear. It was more focused on things that don’t fit or looking visibly worn. I’m still finding items to get rid of in my closet months after The Cleanse and feeling less attached.
Next comes The Replenish. Which means going shopping! Tannya listened to my budget and other constraints, and got a good idea of my style, however little I had, from The Cleanse. Because I work in a lab where prodigious amount of bleach is used and I often have to crawl under benches to get to something, I needed clothes that aren’t too constraining and I’m not too concerned if ruined. I scored lots of awesome stuff at Target of all places during The Replenish. She also found jewelry that will work with many outfits. She was really patient with my questions on what silhouettes work and don’t work, and key pieces to have in my wardrobe that will tie everything together. Now when I go shopping on my own, I’m able to buy things that work with what we bought during The Replenish and avoiding impulse buys of what seems like a good deal.
Finally, the grand finale is The Merge. We put together pieces that I already have with what was bought on our shopping trip, with jewelry and shoes. Tannya also suggests other comfortable footwear in the colors that are easy to wear with the color palette of my closet. She takes pictures of the outfits and puts it together in a lookbook.
Tannya is a great listener, a fantastic stylist, and I have found my unique personal style. I’m thrilled with the results!

I enlisted Tannya’s help after the birth of my daughter upon realizing that my closet was full of maternity clothes and yoga pants. I also work in an industry that’s pretty casual, even though that’s not how I like to dress. I’d lost my style over the years.
Our initial consultation was so fun! She was very efficient and we figured out my «style» in 30 minutes of very specific questions about where I liked to shop, what my shopping issues were, what my favorite part of my body was, etc.
A week or so later, I met Tannya for a two-​hour shopping trip and I was amazed at how much we accomplished that day. I found several pieces that I’ve been wearing since, and others that have given me ideas for how to shop in the future. She also gave me tips about how to style my clothes for my body type — I’m still using these tips!
All in all my experience was great. I feel more confident about my wardrobe and have gotten several compliments about how I’m dressing. I’m not shying away from trends in the stores because I understand how to wear them.

Tannya will help you let go of items that are way past due in your closet while honing in on your personal style and helping you to rejuvenate a once-​loved piece that needs some adjustments. After a quick session with her, my closet was left with plenty of room to breathe and some pieces that really fit well. A shopping trip augmented those items not deemed to the trash or donation. It was super quick to shop with her, saving you some valuable time while opening your eyes to styles you might otherwise overlook or dismiss. Now it is much easier for me to put something together and feel good about dressing up, even if it is a casual day for me. I knew that I was falling into a rut when some of my co-​workers mentioned «I saw a dress that I just knew you’d wear». Either that is flattering or the dreaded «this-​is-​my-​uniform, I-​must-​not-​stray». Put yourself in her hands, even if it is for a few hours to cleanse your closet and then shop with her and her firm list of key pieces within a budge you set.

I had a great experience doing a closet cleanse with Tannya. I am a stay at home mom and often end up wearing my workout clothes all day or just jeans and a t-​shirt. I also tend to make clothing purchases in a panic mode, such as when I have some event to go to and don’t ’ have anything to wear. Another bad habit I have is buying «throw away» clothes (cheap clothes that aren’t well made and don’t hold up in the long run) because I have nothing to wear.
Tannya worked with me on everything I had in my closet and we did a major purge. We have a shopping trip scheduled for a few weeks from now and I am looking forward to purchasing some pieces that will fit well and look stylish.

Tannya will help you look and feel beautiful!
Like many women I was bemoaning my too comfortable, too casual style (everyday is yoga day if you work from home.) When I did have an event, vacation, or even a business casual meeting I found myself wearing ill fitting or mismatched clothes. I thought I could put my style together myself… just shop more… buy more of the right brands… watch The Rachel Zoe Project repeatedly. It didn’t work. Styling yourself is a lot like trying to color and cut your own hair – a bad idea. I needed an expert!
Tannya completed a four hour closet cleanse with me this week. The next day she had a complete profile of suggested outfits! She is a positive, passionate stylist who is committed to helping you take what you have (your body and current clothing) and make it work – beautifully.
Hiring a stylist is a great investment in your personal image and will help build your self-​esteem. Don’t be scared – Tannya will put you at ease immediately. She is professional and has the savvy politeness to tell you to part with your unflattering, expensive brand name jeans and half of your shoe collection. If you stand in a closet full of clothes and say «I have nothing to wear» than you need Tannya.
Tannya should be your first choice for a stylist in the greater Seattle area. She is a great person and you will enjoy working with her… I did!
