AP Styled

Well, this was an unexpected email to receive.

“AP Styed has been nominated for Best Personal Stylist in the 2026 Best of C-VILLE awards.”

When I started this business, my goal was never simply to help women get dressed. It was to help them feel more confident in their clothing, develop their own personal style, and become more intentional about what they bring into their wardrobe. Buy less, but better.

Over the years, I’ve had the absolute privilege of working with hundreds of clients, building an online community, and having countless conversations about style and consumption. To see that work recognized by my own community means a great deal.

To vote, click the link in my bio and my nomination/name is under services. Polls are open and will close on June 30.

Thank you, thank you! 🥹

I rarely choose handbags based on trends or logos. I look for craftsmanship, quality materials and most importantly, a bag I’ll reach for over and over again.

As a stylist, I encourage my clients to buy fewer, but better things. The same philosophy applies to handbags. I’m drawn to heritage brands that prioritize longevity over trends.

These bags from are crafted from beautiful leather designed to develop character with wear. Moore and Giles is also located in Central Virginia, so we are practically neighbors! I’d much rather support a smaller, local brand than a major corporation.

Another month, another set of color palettes to try. Which ones are you wearing this summer? I’m personally excited to see the return of teal/turquoise.🩱

I think we all have a love/hate relationship with being online. What’s something social media improved about your relationship to style? And conversely, how do you think it has hindered or damaged it?

Has anyone else been waiting for paisley to make a comeback?? currently has some beautiful paisley pieces for spring/summer. Gingham and polka dots have always been a strong staple in my wardrobe.
