Amy Guzzi, The Stylist Effect and Lewellyn Founder

Amy Guzzi, stylist and founder of custom, Italian shirt brand Lewellyn joins me for a refreshing take on Fall 2024 fashion trends. Amy always loved fashion but her parents didn't love the idea of studying fashion and so she eventually began a career as a Special Education teacher in NYC.  But after the birth of her oldest, she returned to her love and began a fashion blog in NYC called Joey & the Owl in 2013.  

A move to Connecticut (where she currently resides) and being pregnant with her daughter, prompted her to hit pause on the blog but as she explains the social landscape was completely different when she decided to return and began her IG account. We discuss the challenges of women who have big careers and then take a break to be home with children and so many can relate to this change in  identity.

Amy attributes her styling success to staying true to her self described "New England" style. While many others had that NYC edge, Amy stayed true to what she loved to wear and her business grew by word of mouth.  Over the last 7 years she built a personal styling business, is a digital content creator and most recently the founder of Lewellyn, Italian custom shirts. 

We talk about fashion trends, where to splurge, where to save...the must have color for every closet right now and what jeans to wear... all of this is wrapped up into this episode.  Dont buy a thing until you listen! Permission is granted to wear your skinny jeans and keep them tucked into your boots too.  We even review the oversize trend and who should/shouldnt wear. 

I love Amy's real approach to fashion. As a mom, she understands the function piece but also the importance of coming back to yourself and getting dressed. 

I hope you love this episode. Please dont forget to like this episode if it helped you and share with a friend. This helps me grow.
