I\u2019ve been in the fashion industry for more than a decade: what started on runways and behind the camera has now become a mission to help women show up for themselves with confidence and ease.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Qu\u00e9bec, based in Toronto, and raising two wild and wonderful little humans, I know what it\u2019s like to juggle ambition, motherhood, and self-expression. Style, to me, isn\u2019t just about what you wear. It\u2019s how you walk into a room. It\u2019s energy. It\u2019s presence. It\u2019s owning your light, without waiting for permission.<\/p>\n<p>I find inspiration in timeless fashion, a warm bath, quiet mornings with good matcha, fearless women, a killer playlist, a mic in my hand, and the courage to be exactly who you are. I believe in a style that feels like you &#8211; one that matches your personality, fits your life, and most importantly, makes you feel good every single day.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll often find me dancing with my kids, singing while I drive, dreaming up my next big idea, sipping something warm while grounding myself, or hyping up another woman stepping into her spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>I travel between Toronto and Montreal because I love road trippin\u2019 &#8211; and wherever you are, I\u2019m happy to meet you in person or connect virtually to help you shine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=&#8221;color-621105&#8243; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fstylys.ca%2Fservices-stylisme%2F|title:R%C3%A9servez%20votre%20session%20en%20stylisme%20ici&#8221;
