Best Personal Stylist And Shoppers In Chicago

Why do Kerry Washington and Katie Holmes look so absurdly perfect every time they're out in public? They don't rely on their own fashion sense (or lack thereof), but rather on that of someone who has a keen eye for what looks sensational on them. If you're still relying on your mom or boyfriend to dress you, you might go into your next event resembling a middle schooler or a stripper. Instead, get some sage advice from these personal stylists and shoppers and step out looking smashing.

Alison Guglielmo takes the words of screen legend Sophia Loren to heart -  “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.” A wardrobe stylist and personal shopper in Chicago since 2007, Guglielmo says, "It is fascinating to me how an outfit can change your perspective…how what you put on in the morning can create the energy of your entire day. More importantly, what amazes me the most is how I can change the perspective of someone else in how they look and feel, just by taking them shopping.” The multi-tasking stylist wears the hat of styling guru, time saver, confidence booster, fit expert, outfitting whiz and honest friend. Get an entire wardrobe overhaul, put together the perfect outfit for the day you attend your ex's wedding or just get de-frumping advice all within your budget.

If you ever watch daytime TV, you may have caught Suzanne Kopulos dishing fashion advice on local news shows about hot new trends in faux fur or how to put together a winning look for the night.

Ashley Zisook's know-how of expertly mixing and matching one-of-a-kind vintage pieces with new designer lines has put her name on the lips of Leighton Meester, Nicole Richie, LeAnn Rimes and Maria Menounos. As an LA DJ, she honed her look by spending hours carefully selecting favorite pieces from LA's renowned vintage shops and adding her penchant for music to create her signature look: rock-inspired vintage. If Stevie Nicks were an ingenue rock star today, she would be asking Zisook for her opinion. Zisook's favorite decade in fashion is the 70s, from Studio 54 glam to bo-ho hippie.
