Crystal’s Bio
Not-so-skinny can be oh-so-stylish.
After years of styling celebrities & big brands from Taylor Swift, Mercedes Benz, and the Billboard Music Awards, I’ve discovered something surprising about great style.
Nobody has the same body. Crazy, right?!
It’s not about being a size 2, having skeleton arms, or wearing the latest trends. It’s all about knowing how to dress for your body type.
After years of self-study, I learned how to dress my body. I become the in-house stylist to my college friends. They would go shopping in my closet and become “Crystal-ified”.
Then, after getting trained in Style School and as a personal stylist, I stepped out as an industry insider. In addition to Taylor Swift, I got to glam up Kate Upton, Usher, and Willam DaFoe for a Mercedes commercial, accessorize Debi Mazar from Entourage, get a cast member of Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2 red-carpet ready, and more.
Not only did I learn that great style had nothing to do with size, I also learned the insider tricks to setting up your closet for easy and effortless dressing…every day.
I realized that these insider shopping & organizing tricks could be translated to any woman’s closet. So I branched out on my own to show women how to dress their not-so-skinny-bodies — while actually having FUN in the process.
Because, truly… Impeccable style has no size. Let me show you how.
