ABOUT

    Wouldn’t it be amazing to have your own celebrity fashion stylist!? Better yet, have her teach you all her secrets. Remember it only takes one chance to make a first impression (literally seconds). I’m here to help you nail it, every time you get dressed, at any budget, for any lifestyle.

Hi my name is Sandy Hapoienu-your new best friend! I empower women with fashion confidence, by guiding you to take strategic control of your image.

Ask yourself; is getting dressed a chore? Perhaps you never feel pulled together? Is it time to shake up my closet (and make myself a priority)(of course it is)! 

Style is about so much more than following trends and the clothes we wear– it’s about being authentic, it’s a reflection of your personal brand and even if you don’t think you have a personal brand, how you look reflects your values and impacts your business. You are a walking talking ad everytime someone sees you. Every encounter is some type of opportunity. Think about it, if you want to be known as modern or innovative but you look uber conservative. By learning my styling tips you will have fun everyday getting dressed. And the feeling of confidence that you will exude will be priceless.

 I’m a Fashion and Photo Stylist and some people call me the “Closet Whisperer”. In addition, I am an adjunct professor (award winning) at 2 colleges. I blog about fashion, tips and trends. I wrote a fashion column for a couple of different magazines for a combination of ten years (actually I still contribute now and then). I follow all the trends so that you don’t have to. My mission is to inspire Fashion Confidence. I’m taking my passion of fashion writing and teaching so that I can empower women all over the world. 

Fun Facts: I drank champagne with Oscar De La Renta when I worked at Saks Fifth Avenue as a personal shopper; I went to countless fashion shows (backstage too). I love to dance my butt off when no one is watching. One of my great mentors Stacy London (TV host What Not to Wear) taught me that styling is a blend of science and art. The science is knowing which silhouettes look best balancing- the body type. The art is personalizing the science by creating harmony with color, texture and accessories. You can save time and money when you start to understand your body type and style needs. You will get dressed quickly, refine and express style. Along the way feeling more confident in your own skin. Believe me I do understand these struggles.

READY TO ROCK IT, READY TO MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY, READY TO HAVE SOME FUN! Let the excitement begin!!! I know there is an inner fashion goddess waiting to shine.
