Stylish Must Haves From Stylist Christen Mitchell

I ran across Christen Mitchell Styling a few weeks back while scouring the web and instantly became mesmerized with the looks she puts together. A fashion stylist after my own heart, Christen Mitchell incorporates bohemian, edgy, feminine, and laid-back pieces into a stylish aesthetic that is earning her fast recognition on the Boston styling circuit. Though she might not yet be recognized as the next Rachel Zoe, I have this lady pegged to do great things in fashion. And if you think having a stylist is only for celebrities, think again. Christen takes everyday people and transforms their closets into something stylish and workable, all for prices that are really reasonable.

Hi GorJess Fashion For Less readers!

I am so excited to be invited to share a few of my favorite things with you today. I am a full-time wardrobe stylist and image consultant. Although I live in Boston, I've been able to retain my own eclectic style that is highly influenced by West Coast beach culture and mixing high and low fashion in a very unique way. I love color, flowing dresses and accessories that make a statement. Below you will find a few of my favorite things. Some are already in rotation in my closet but most are still living on my wish-list. A girl can dream right?
Hope you enjoy and come check me out at www.ChristenMitchellStyling.com!
