About Pamela
Pamela’s love for fashion was first ignited when working as a fashion and hair model. She received her B.A. Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing from Kent State University School Of Fashion, where she honed her skills in trend forecasting, fashion show productions, and visual merchandising.
Following her education, Pamela gained valuable experience working for Lane Bryant headquarters in the product development and buying departments. She later transitioned into visual merchandising and fashion styling, and collaborated with retailers such as Victoria’s Secret, Forever 21, Bath & Body Works, H&M and Athleta.
In 2010, she relocated to San Francisco, CA. The Bay Area is where she calls home, and Pamela is now focused on offering private client and virtual styling services in order to help curate wardrobes to reflect the client’s individuality and personal brand.
Most recently, Pamela had the privilege of working and collaborating with fashion stylist, former fashion editor and celebrity stylist, Sally Lyndley, who has personally styled the likes of David & Victoria Beckham, Rhianna, the Kardashians, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, Cara Delevingne, Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and collaborated with brands such as Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Vogue Paris, Versace, Luis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Harley-Davidson, and more. This was an incredible and transformative experience, where Pamela had the chance to work with diverse clients, each with their unique fashion preferences and requirements. This diversity challenged her to adapt and think creatively, refining her capacity to craft outfits that genuinely mirrored a client’s individuality and fashion preferences. Sally’s guidance and extensive experience was instrumental in Pamela’s growth as a personal stylist. Sally Lyndley remarked, “Pam always goes the extra mile for her clients, wether it be shopping recommendations, looks or inspiration boards. Her recommendations are thoughtful and thorough with many fantastic options to consider! Pam’s taste upgrades a client’s look without being fussy or complicated.” She now takes the invaluable knowledge from her mentorship and translates it into her current work values.
Why The Magpie?
For Pamela, magpies symbolize the great spirit of individuality and the determination to remain unique in this world. Their intelligence and protective nature over their families inspire admiration within her. It is fascinating how some magpies are inclined to collect shiny objects and trinkets, reflecting Pamela’s own style and perspective on personal styling.
As we navigate through the demands of the modern world, it is increasingly important to minimize our environmental impact and reduce our carbon footprint. Thrifting presents another beautiful opportunity to unearth hidden treasures among the ordinary, aligning with the essence of the magpie's search for jewels amidst the rocks. Embracing a conscious and mindful approach to our consumption decisions is vital. It means resisting the temptation of fast fashion's fleeting trends and instead prioritizing quality investment pieces that stand the test of time. This approach allows us to nurture our personal style while making responsible choices for a more sustainable future.
