Today marks SIX YEARS of Style & Edit!! 🎉 It just proves that what can start as an idea in your head can turn into a dream come true with hard work & determination. 💫 We celebrated with a beautiful launch party six years to this very day while surrounded by all of the special women in our lives. 💗 Then, a few weeks after launching our ‘Wardrobe Styling & Closet Organizing’ business, we were asked to stage a 4000 sqft home soon to hit the market. 🤯 Crazy? Not really. I had been in Real Estate since 2005 & had helped stage many homes over the years. Erin graduated with a degree in Fashion 👠 Merchandising & was a natural organizer, not to mention professional at styling window displays. Over the next 5 years we poured our hearts into ALL of it. From closet organizing to curating Look Books, Home Staging to helping other businesses organize & redecorate their offices, not to mention hosting our infamous ‘Swap & Sip Soirees” that became a seasonal hit throughout Chicago. In 2020 we made the decision to streamline our services to strictly Home Staging and had just begun the process when Covid hit and life as we knew it came to a stop. It was also during this time that Erin realized she needed to make the decision to leave S&E. 💔 As hard as it was to hear, I wholeheartedly understood, but it left me wondering what I was going to do? Thankfully, life has a way of opening new doors and closing others right when you need it 🙏🏼, so even though we are no longer business partners, we will forever remain the best of friends. 💯 Erin, you are already greatly missed. You will always be the yin to my yang & the one who always made me stop to think before saying “YES!!!!” to everything 😆!! Whether we were styling an outfit or moving furniture, we had a natural flow about us that was flawless and effortless. We were a great team & those memories will never be forgotten. 😘
So, today I want to CHEERS to US and the creation of S&E 🥂(I couldn’t have done it without ya!) as well as to YOU and your new job!! 🎉 As for me, I am now the proud, sole owner of Style & Edit. Thankfully, the decision was made for me when a few past clients called with new projects, and as you know, there is no better compliment than that.
🙏🏼🏡💥
