“Rita's closet edit saved my fall wardrobe. I had clothes in my
closet that ranged from never having been worn to should have left
last season. After getting rid of the things that I didn't (or
shouldn't!) wear, I could actually see the clothes I had instead of
looking at a closet crammed full of stuff with nothing to wear.
With her keen stylistic eye, Rita combined the clothes I already
owned in new ways to make them feel fresh again. She updated with a
couple of new accessories and filled in with a few basics that I
was missing. With the help of her additions and style combinations,
I was able to feel good about my clothes and the fab new outfits
she created. It was the perfect recession-chic investment, because
she made the most of what I had. I can't wait to see wait to see
what she does with Spring/Summer!”
-Mae B., Interior Designer
"Rita is not only one of the best stylists I have encountered, but
she is also a magnificent person. Working with her is a creative
& fun process. You will have a ball."
-Dichen Lachman, actress on FOX's "Dollhouse"
“I love my personal catalogue of Looks that I can refer to for
quick outfit ideas at a glance. I am a busy professional and
work-at-home mother of two, so Miss Rita really helps me maximize
my time and look great without even thinking about what to
wear!”
-Leanna Lewis, Mom & Fashion Event Producer
“Between many social functions and traveling twice a month, my
calendar doesn’t have room for over-packing or mediocre outfits. I
rely on Miss Rita to make sure my outfits are fabulous and
organized prior to my travels so I don’t have to stress about what
to wear. Thank you darling!”

"Mine is a bit of a love story, with a very happy ending!...A few
yrs ago I met the love of my life on a "girls trip" to California
... He was handsome, sweet, considerate and single! Sounds great ,
right? well, big issue - I grew up in farm town Indiana and he was
a super styled LA realtor. He'd often send me pictures of his
friends gatherings and dinner parties to try to make me feel as
though I was a part of things when I couldn't get out to see him,
but really.. each time I got a new picture I felt as through I cold
never compete with these people and would feel weird around them.
They looked so polished!
8 months of nightly phone calls and flirty emails later.. (we had
only had 4 or 5 visits ) he throws me for a loop and asks me to
consider moving out to be with him!! I knew I had to step things up
stylewise- I have been reading Vogue and Cosmo and various other
magazines for years, but really, I had no clue how to put myself
together like the gorgeous ladies in those pages... First, I'm in
my early forties with an average body, ( 5'5/135lbs), I had the
same haircut for 10 years, I almost always wore flats. My wardrobe
was nothing but neutrals for work and weekend track suits. After
about 2 weeks worth of internet scouring, I finally fell upon a
blog that linked me to Miss Rita. Being an LA girl herself and
browsing her fashionable friends and clientele on the site, I was
convinced she was " The One". Now, how do I afford a stylist?!
Since it was late, I sent a quick email to basically plead for
guidance and briefly mentioned my budget. I thought she may not
respond, but to my surprise, the very next afternoon I get and
opening line of " My Dear, tell me when and where and I will teach
you (on your budget) how to take your man's breath away" !
Here I am, 2 months later, a closet with some of my old favorites
and a few new editions Rita suggested. She came to visit me as soon
as I arrived in LA, edited my ( farm town) closet, made a great
story board of suggestions, gave me a shopping list of basic
essentials to work with what I had and we worked together to come
up with styles that were not only figure flattering and stylish,
but also nothing I ever would have thought with on my own !
So again, my gratitude and admiration to my miracle worker ;)
My Sweetheart and I now look completely in sync now when we hit the
town !
