NICOLE'S LOVES...

• my handsome hubs, Jeff, and my Yorkie, Rosie-girl…travel, food, family, friends, fashion and Champagne… not necessarily in that order

When I was a little girl, my Mom would give my sister and I each an allowance to go "back to school" shopping. I would take that money and buy ONE fabulous outfit! Through the years, my love for beautiful clothes, handbags, shoes, and accessories has remained, but I have also learned to love Luxury For Less…

At age 20, I became a hairstylist, which I felt went hand-in-hand with my love for fashion/style. As time went on, my clients, friends and acquaintances started to ask my opinion on not only their hair, but on their clothing choices and wardrobe as well. I decided to take some personal styling classes in L.A. and New York to further my skills. And with that, my styling business was born. I loved that I could help women feel stylish from head to toe.

Then in 2020, Covid happened and I was without any jobs; the salon closed and my style clients were no longer needing me to help them with special occasion outfits, packing for travel, or wardrobe updates. What they were doing instead was cleaning out their closets. I had sold some designer items on my social media platforms for clients in the past, but during Covid, it became something they asked me to do more frequently… and then all of the sudden, it turned into something much bigger.

Now, luxury consignment and designer resale is the main focus of my career; although I am still styling clients and doing hair, which I love. I send items all over the country and I love hearing how much people are loving their Luxury For Less…

Sometimes life throws us curveballs and we have to pivot. This was one of those times for me and I am very proud of the success it has become!
