DID YOU KNOW

Most people only use 25% of what’s in their closets? Reason being, they don’t have a wardrobe. What they have is a closet full of unrelated pieces and no distinct look.

Your wardrobe has a powerful impact in both your social and professional worlds. Building a wardrobe that works for you is important in both domains.

The Curated Closet is a personal styling service dedicated to you–and your closet. With our help, getting dressed won’t be complicated.

Our mission is to make you look and feel your best, to find your style, and to help you embrace it as we see style as a form of personal branding. If you’re a business professional we will help you align your look with your message.

After a consult, we typically begin by decluttering your existing wardrobe and keeping only what works for you, we learn your needs, wants, shape and lifestyle. We then work to expand your looks if shopping is desired.

Whether you’re changing or advancing your career, experiencing body changes, transitioning from stay-at-home parenting back to work, re-entering the dating scene, or simply lack the time to shop on your own, engaging The Curated Closet to assist you will simplify getting dressed.

Like it or not, people see you before they hear you. What you’re wearing should reflect who you are. You don’t need a lot of pieces, you need the right pieces.

-Christina Ruiz

 
 
 
 

STEP 1
CONSULT

In this one-hour consultation, we will discuss your lifestyle–both personal and professional–as well as your favorite stores and brands. 

This meeting will determine your needs and establish your goal. 

Our goal is to have you walk out the door every day feeling comfortable and confident. 

 

STEP 2
CLOSET EDIT + FIT

Saying goodbye is never easy, but trust us when we say, less is more. If it doesn't make you feel good, it doesn’t deserve a place in your closet. We will spend time helping you decide what pieces to keep and what pieces to consign, donate or discard.

From there, we maximize the wearability of what’s left in your closet. We will try everything on and create looks as well as a digital look-book for you to reference when getting dressed in the future. 

 

STEP 3
SHOP

Now that we’ve eliminated the old, we start to curate new pieces. 

Depending on your needs, we can go about this two ways:

1. Personal Shopping
The Curated Closet will shop online and in stores and deliver new pieces to your home or office for fittings. No pressure from aggressive sales people, no fitting room lines. We do all the shopping and returns allowing you to relax and enjoy.


2. Shopping Together
Based on our Closet Edit, we will preselect a store to visit together. This would include The Curated Closet pre-shopping and having a selection set up in the fitting room in advance of our appointment. 

Whichever option you choose, we will bring the new pieces back to your home and integrate them into your existing wardrobe. Additional photos will be added to your look-book at this time. 

Let’s build a practical and playful closet tailored for you. Whether starting from scratch or simply using existing pieces that remain, we work with you to develop your personal style.

Getting dressed should not be stressful or complicated.

Christina  has styled celebrities, CEOs, industry leaders, moms, dads and teens. Aside from individuals, Christina has also styled high profile commercial and print campaigns for clients such as Mercedes, American Express and Apple.

Christina got her start during college as she worked at various retailers and boutiques including Barney's and Bergdorf Goodman where she enjoyed helping customers walk out the door looking & feeling good.

Post college, she spent a decade in wholesale only to realize that she missed working directly with clients. This, plus a desired flexibility that retail could not offer, is what led her to begin her freelance and commercial styling career and ultimately, founding The Curated Closet.

“Shopping with Christina was truly amazing. She went through each store, super efficiently grabbing things left and right - including clothes I never would have noticed or considered. 

She quickly made arrangements with the dressing room attendant to allow us more than the official number of items at one time. She was incredibly organized and I was trying on shirts, pants, and dresses in no time. 

One thing I was worried about was that she might try to talk me into clothes I didn't want which she did not do at ALL. She really emphasized the importance of picking things that I felt comfortable and confident in. In a few hours, I had a whole new wardrobe. 

The clothes I bought that day are among my favorites and I always get lots of compliments when I wear them. Even more importantly, she helped me gain some clarity about what types of cuts and styles work best for me. 

I would recommend Christina without any reservations whatsoever and look forward to another shopping trip and closet purge soon!”

-Cheryl R., Musician & Graphic Designer

 

 

“I have worked with Christina for many years, hiring her countless times as  a stylist on shoots I've produced. Christina made such a great impression that she's been requested by several of my teams on many occasions. 

She has great energy and enthusiasm and is a great collaborator. When I needed some expert advice, I was thrilled that she offered to help. Not only did Christina edit my existing wardrobe, but she was also able to provide a list of items that could complement what I already had (and where to source quality pieces that won't break the bank). 

She also styled and photographed a ton of looks from my existing wardrobe that I'd have never put together on my own. I still use that look book all the time. She is really fun to shop the racks with, and I look forward to updating my wardrobe again soon with her help. Love, love, love her!”

- Nicole, Producer

 

 

“Christina transformed my cluttered closet (where I could not find anything ) into an organized and beautiful one. I was holding on to clothes and accessories I did not wear for years, and now I simply have what i feel good in. She  made it so easy  to determine & add the pieces I really needed to compliment my existing wardrobe. I am so much more confident in my clothes just from the simple act of purging what I did not need! I could  never  done this on my own!!! I also used to never be able to find anything to wear and now I get ready for all occasions with ease.”

- Judy A., Executive Producer

 

 

“I have been a Mom and working part time from home for the past 15 years. Needless to say, when I wanted to go back to work I knew my jeans and t-shirts weren't going to cut it.  Looking thru a magazine or watching TV to see what people my age were wearing for interviews didn't work with my actual non-size-2 body. And the last thing I wanted to worry about walking thru the interview door was "do I look alright??"  Christina took all the guess work out of that for me! We went thru my closet and drawers and donated all the things I had been too afraid (or too lazy) to get rid of, then took me shopping. Boy was that sweet- to have her do all the picking out for me and I got to do the fun part of trying everything on! I feel so much better about walking thru any door now, in clothes that makes me feel like the rock star I am inside. Thank you!!!!!”

- Susan S., East Hampton NY

 

 

“As a busy working mom I would shop for my teenage daughter and inevitably she would complain she had nothing to wear.  We would buy what she thought would be good but then she had no idea how to put it together and anything I suggested was not considered acceptable for the teenage set.  Christina to the rescue, literally!  I engaged Christina to work with my daughter and help her create a wardrobe.  Christina interviewed my daughter to identify style preferences and to obtain all sizes.  She then interviewed me to see what I found acceptable for my daughter’s new wardrobe.   On a Saturday Christina came with all the clothes she ordered in advance and we had a fashion session with look, style, combinations and photos so my daughter could see what was right for her.  It was such an enormous success and my daughter refers to her photos every time she picks out an outfit!  No more drama just fabulous clothes that look great on my daughter.” 

- Nancy G., Greenwich CT

 

 

“Christina was awesome.  She came and brought all kinds of clothes, not just one style.  She had me try everything on, and showed me how to mix and match everything so I would know how to put outfits together.  I love my new clothes and it is so cool because all my friends started asking me where I got that cute outfit.  I just say I went shopping with my mom, Christina is my secret weapon.”

- Giselle G., Greenwich CT
