Hi Beauty!
I am Vanessa Valiente, wardrobe stylist extraordinaire. I have been a dresser at The Old Globe, styled many a commercial, and been a costumer for TV shows.
But my real claim to fame is as San Diego’s #1 personal stylist. As a personal stylist, I am a maniac for practical glamour and functional fabulosity. I have dressed over 500 clients, working with every body type and personal style you can imagine.
Each week I find items that are just too yummy to keep between my clients and me. This fashion blog is my way of sharing those amazing goodies with all the over-scheduled women of the world who would love to delegate their personal shopping.
so let’s get to it...
