Wardrobe Detectives Personal Stylist & Shopper

The first time I worked with Gabi was a game-changer for me. I was planning a European vacation that involved visiting two cities with different climates, and I was worried about packing the right clothes for the trip. However, Gabi came to the rescue and built a curated collection that had me covered with the most stylish and comfortable outfits for two weeks, all packed in a carry-on bag. It was simply amazing!

Recently, I attended a holiday work party, and I knew I could count on Gabi's fashion expertise to help me find the perfect outfit. She did not disappoint - she quickly found a beautiful corduroy dress that was just perfect for the occasion and my taste. Gabi also accessorized the dress with the nicest details that did not break the bank. I was elegant, stylish, and comfortable enough to dance the night away.

Gabi helped me shop for some work related events outfits. I felt so relaxed knowing I had something to wear when the coktail gala came up. Before working with Gabi, when I was in need for a cocktail outfit, I would run to the mall last minute and pick up a random dress that made me feel insecure and not put together. Gabi’s approach was to prepare in advance for occasions I knew were coming. So we purchased this classic black and white dress at a steep discount. I felt elegant, empowered, and most of all professionally appropriate during that evening. The best part is that I can wear this dress to other occasions and feel the same. Gabi is value focused, has a great understanding for style and proportion, and a keen eye for deals and sales.

Gabi made our meetup so special! We had over 60 ladies and all of them fell in love with her energy, knowledge and great sense of humour.
It was an amazing experience working with Gabi!
I highly recommend Gabi’s services!

I recently moved to Calgary and felt I needed some wardrobe updates. I had a closet full of clothes but didn’t have anything to wear. We started with Gabi going through my current wardrobe and helped by deciding what to keep. Then we went shopping! I hated wearing jeans but it turns out I was just wearing the wrong style. I now have a closet full of options that all work together. She styled different options for the office and for casual outings! She also organized my closet for me and now it is so easy to find something to wear. I loved everything about my experience with Gabi! I can’t wait to get together again in the spring

Where to start? ! I came across Gabi's site (Wardrobe Detectives) by Google search. I read the reviews and they sounded too good to be true, even the ones that qualified their reviews by saying that they too couldn't believe all the hype until they worked with Gabi! All Gabi's 5 star reviews are very deserved and I'm happy to add my own 5 star review! Gabi's work exceeds every expectation. She is a true talent, and has the unique ability to bring out the style of her clients in a way that keeps them current, cool and yet true to themselves and what makes them feel best. It is incredibly impressive to see her work and the impact has been phenomenal. She's not just styling her clients to fit her own aesthetic or tastes, she really goes the extra mile to ensure that she created a wardrobe that would suit the activities and lifestyle that the person lives. She is efficient, fast, loves a good deal, and seems to have a gift for spotting bargains for high quality items! While I would prefer to have Gabi wardrobe plan for my every event, trip and day, she gave me the skills and confidence to do it for myself. Thank you Gabi, you are wonderful.

I was in tears when my amazing husband gifted me wardrobe consultation with Wardrobe Detectives on my birthday! My wardrobe, after having three kids, was a range of sizes, with mismatched and I’ll fitting clothes, so to say the least I needed this service. When I had my first home consult with Gabi, I was blown away by how much I learned from her on how to dress my body! She is very stylish herself so that’s a motivation, extremely passionate about helping her clients and personable so it was easy to talk to her about my insecurities and wardrobe desires. Most of all she truly cares as she gave me a run for my money when we went shopping and relentlessly picked out a wardrobe that was worked best for me, my budget, and with my existing items. I’m near the end of my sessions with her, but she trained me well on how to dress my body, accessorize and set up my wardrobe so I can confidently shop for myself! Anyone who styles with her will not be disappointed! Love you Gabi!

Gabi is an amazing stylist!

I am newly retired and wanted a wardrobe incorporating the sophistication and elegance displayed by European women with my personality. I am looking forward to traveling during my retirement, so this wardrobe also needed to contain clothing that could travel well.

Gabi assessed my initial wardrobe with me, we shopped, and she then styled the new clothes with the existing ones. She taught me how to intermix clothing to produce a large number of outfits with a small number of pieces, as well as how each could be casual or dressed up, according to the accessories worn with them. This will allow me to travel with less clothes for many more ensembles.

I learned about brands of clothing where I would achieve the best look for the best price and how important fit is to the end result.

Gabi listens to what your lifestyle includes, your preferences, dislikes, personality, and takes these into account as she works her magic. There is never any pressure and the whole experience is fun, wonderful and I learned a ton!

We have completed my spring/summer wardrobe and I can't wait to see what Gabi will select for fall/winter!

I recommend her wholeheartedly.

This women has to be the most amazing women and stylist you will ever meet. Ive often gone to stylists that make me feel a little intimidated but Gabi was so sweet and funny and genuinely cared about my opinion, she made me feel very comfortable! After working with Gabi I could never go to another stylist.highly recommend! She’s amazing!

I had the pleasure of working with Gabi on my wardrobe a few weeks ago. With the current situation and having a mixt work from office / work from home schedule, I was looking to switch my current style to something more casual while still looking elegant. It was a fantastic experience. We endeded up upcycling some of my current items and buying new more casual stuff. The end result is perfect!

I hired Gabi to help me select some interview outfits and all I can say is that she is truly the best when it comes to business style. She doesn't cross the line and keeps it classy when selecting professional outfits. I will definitely continue our collaboration. Thank you!

Gabi helped me out of my fashion rut by overhauling my wardrobe. I couldn’t be happier with my newly organized closet. She also helped me pack for a recent vacation. She reviewed my existing clothing and we bought some additional special pieces. Then she took pictures of my outfits for every day of my trip. Not to decide what to wear on a vacation was extremely helpful and time saving for me

I called Gabi and explained that I need 3 event outfits and have limited time. It was a challenge and she managed it successfully. I was very happy with the results and still wear the outfits you helped me find.
She takes you shopping to stores within your budget and really sticks to what you are looking for, and is Extremely efficient navigating the stores and finding the right clothes and the Best deals
Gabi is fantastic, full of energy and great personality, which made our shopping trip easier and fun, also very interesting, because she taught me lots of do's and don'ts while I was trying out clothes, explained what works and what doesn't.
Her styling capabilities are exceptional! She is a professional perfectionist who likes what she is doing and also very dedicated to clients needs. I never felt pressured to try anything I didn't like and she didn't hesitate to give her thoughts about the color or look she wasn't feeling.
I highly recommend Gabi if you're considering a change for the better.
Thank you!

I had the pleasure of receiving a gift for a consult with Wardrobe Detectives. All I can say is the process was simply AMAZING! Gabi was professional, knowledgeable and it was truly a fun and enlightening experience. Gabi completely transformed my closet and wardrobe and provided many more options of stylish outfits that I had never thought of. We also had the opportunity to shop together so that she could help me replace a few items and add items that were missing. I will definitely be continuing to update my wardrobe with Gabi every year and would not hesitate to recommend her.

I enjoyed meeting Gabi and seeing her in action during my closet audit. It is a very personal space to invite strangers to step into. She was lovely and eliminated any awkwardness. The process of taking all the clothes from the closet one by one and analyzing them was a new approach and the one I will employ often. I appreciated the candid approach used to help me eliminate items that I knew shouldn’t be in my selection, let alone on my body.

I am sure you know that feeling when you open your closet and you have nothing to wear or you spend hours shopping for things you apparently like and then never wear. I feel you. I got to the point I realized I was only buying things I liked but did not fit my body shape and my personality. In a short time, my closet became full of unnecessary stuff. So my dilemma was to either get rid of all of them and buy new clothes or get some professional help. I discovered Gabi from Wardrobe Detectives through her blog and decided to ask her for some help. As I live in Romania, the only concern was the distance and the time zone difference. A Skype session seemed like the only solution. It was risky but it worked perfectly. I went through a very fun and useful experience. Not only you get to clear your closet and get rid of useless stuff, but you also get to understand exactly why certain items do not fit you, how to put together timeless basics that would make an impact, and how to define your own style. I could not possibly go wrong with editing my wardrobe and buying new items under Gabi’s guiding. She is easy to work and not pushy and she also knows how to suggest you only the items that would fit your preferences and your lifestyle. I thought the process would be hard online, but she made it so much easier with custom shopping lists from my local retailers and great advice. Thank you! I would highly recommend you to anyone.

I was very self aware of my body and it was very hard for me to find styles that would fit my 22 size. Getting a personal stylist's help was an option but I was sceptical about it as they all seem to only work with Size S women who are easy to style. I met Gabi for the first appointment and she suggested that style should be accessible to anyone. I knew from the start that this would be a challenge for her but it seemed like she was excited. We shopped at several stores and she showed me a couple of spots where to find elegant styles for plus size women. We found some very decent styles for my work wear. She was also very careful about my budget and taught me the secret to paying a little more on things that are worth the investment and on other items.

Super pleased with Gabi services
Shes easy to connect with, she reads you fast and makes you feel comfortable. My favorite session was the last one when she came to my place to help me match my new stuff versus old stuff. Wonderful experience! Now I wear ALL I own.
Thank you very much
Talk to you this winter for a winter shopping spree:) marieve

It was a pleasure to meet and work with Gabi. She is personable, very knowledgable and easy to work with. Gabi helped me purged my spring/summer closet. I had way too many disconnected clothes that I was not wearing. We went shopping for few versatile pieces and just like that we built multiple outfits that were treandy and fun. Gabi brought to life the fashionista in me. Thank you Gabi looking forward to work with you again in the fall/winter.

Gabi is a very efficient shopper. The time you save working with her is by itself worth it. But you won’t just be saving time you’ll be saving frustration and $$$ by not buying the wrong things. Highly recommend

I've been looking at the idea of hiring a personal stylist for quite a while and decided to work with Gabi after checking her website. The process was smooth and easy. After doing a quick wardrobe edit, we went shopping for new pieces and then styled them into so many great outfits. She truly knows her skill. Thank you!

Gabi has an unerring instinct for fashion trends and has provided my company with valuable insights into women’s casual footwear. Beyond being a naturally gifted stylist she has a deep understanding of fashion industry, branding and consumer behavior.

Gabi is a master at “The Look For Less. ” She styled me for an event and I was complimented more than ever before on my outfit. Also, people kept asking, “Who are you wearing? ” Little did they know it was Zara and H&M! The exercise of pairing down your wardrobe is a game changer. Gabi will help you empty your closet of anything that doesn’t make you feel great and purchase key pieces to work with the items you have left or will eventually buy. You end up saving money in the long run because they make all of your pieces wearable. No more items collecting dust in the back of your closet. One of the best things about Gabi is that she is willing to respond to my texts at all times of the day and night. If I’m having trouble putting an outfit together, I simply text her some pictures and she will advise me. Sometimes while shopping, I text her a quick pic and she will help me to decide on a purchase. Priceless!

After carefully reviewing my wardrobe, Gabi helped me find some useful foundation items that I was missing. I was always having a problem with finding dress pants for work and she successfully managed to find some great pairs. What I like about her most is her ability to find affordable items and work within our budget. Would definitely recommend her.

Love Gabi's keen eye to detail and thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She has been amazing at bringing full outfits together. Helped me to up my game for a photoshoot, events and business outfits. Also did an excellent job bringing the right outfits for my skin colour!

There are so many positive things to say about Gabi and her approach. She has helped me get the best out of my wardrobe, while helping me to cut some pieces that just weren't doing the trick. She's also a wizard at finding the best possible prices for the new items we purchase. I can always count on her to be honest with me, so I leave every appointment with complete confidence in what we've purchased or in the outfits she helped me put together. Do yourself (and your wardrobe) a favor and work with Gabi!

I HIGHLY recommend Gabi's services - she provides the best advice for my body type and personal taste! I have had so many compliments on my new wardrobe. I'm actually saving money with her help, since she knows exactly where to go for discounts and I don't buy clothes that I will never wear anymore. Plus, I'm saving time since she's so efficient during our shopping trips. I can't imagine my shopping life without her! Best.stylist.ever.

“With my 50th birthday ahead, I sought out someone to help me take on the next decade with grace and style. Gabi is classy and chic - we connected instantly!
I love fashion, but I get overwhelmed with the abundance of options when I shop. Gabi came with a plan and creative inspiration.
We sorted through my closet together and I appreciated her honesty: what to keep and what to purge. We made a list of what was missing and together tackled the shops. She is respectful of keeping within a budget and agrees with me that you can look amazing without spending an exorbitant amount of money. On our last shopping trip we scored the most beautiful Dolce & Gabbana silk top for $90. It was originally selling for around $1000. She also found some great quality Rag & Bone jeans and Joie silk tops for under $100. This is amazing value.
This is the beginning of a style partnership that I hope will continue for many years.

Gabi has a unique set of skills: cutting through the non-sense and giving very clear and to-the-point advices. These, combined with the great understanding of fashion, style and personal branding, makes her suggestions extremely valuable on the landscape of ever-changing fashion trends and over-hyped buzzwords. It has been my great personal pleasure to work with Gabi on several occasions and i can wholeheartedly endorse her services to everyone!

Highly recommend Wardrobe Detectives for corporate events and professional workshops! Gabi is very responsive, prepared, and professional to deal with and her advice is well-researched and helpful. Our group particularly enjoyed her practical advice on where to shop for professional clothing on a budget and how to build a capsule wardrobe. Engaging and entertaining speaker as well!
