Client Testimonials
Julee B – Portland OR
Where to start? I can't say enough good things about Sophie. To start, her style is fabulous !. The process of working with her was also a delight. She listens. We initially met to discuss my likes and dislikes, and she quickly came up with a semi-beachy theme that fits perfectly into my house. Sophie went out of her way to be flexible -- she shopped with me and also looked for things that made sense for me on her own. I am LAZY and Sophie motivated me and was a joy to work with. In addition to helping me choose pieces, she went over and above the call of duty to help with installation.
Sophie has a great eye and was skilled at marrying the style we chose with the budget we discussed. I was thrilled to see the article about her in Sunset. It is well-deserved. My advice is to hire her quickly. The secret is out!
Lynn B.Mayer – Documentary producer
I hate shopping, nothing fits me. This is what I have been saying for the past 25 years. Then I shopped with Sophie and found many perfectly fitting and very cool clothes. Sophie motivates me to go out to the stores, guides me thought the racks and teaches me a ton about style and fit each time we go out together. She makes it very fun and rewarding. Her shopping style is efficient and I love our laughs!
Jamie Barnes – MD
Thanks to Sophie my house went from beige and average to stylish and chic. You won't be disappointed if you work with her. I will surely work with her again and will continue to recommend her over and over...
Stacey B – Real Estate Broker
Sophie walks in and tells it to you like it is!! Never in an offensive way but she doesn’t sugar coat things. I love that about her! She is quick, honest and direct. I must say that I often imitate her when I want to say something to my friends “Sophie would say, “Sorry but this skirt does nothing for you, we can do a lot better...” (You would have to hear my poor imitation of her French accent to get the full effect!)
Sarah H, Portland – Project Manager
"Wow what a difference! I never thought I could feel so pretty!! With Sophie by my side, I had the courage to try colors, patterns, cuts and fabrics that I never would have tried on my own - and they actually looked good! Sophie teaches you how to find a style that is flattering for you, how to shop (and not hate the experience), and how to assemble a look that makes you smile on the inside and the outside. I never knew how pretty and confident I could feel until Sophie helped me discover my style."
Sue D, Portland – Marketing Professional
"Visualization of any kind is one of my absolute weaknesses, so I was more than relieved to be able to seek guidance from a natural when I decided to remodel my kitchen - I'm in awe of Sophie's ability to visualize the finished product and I put my complete trust in her when it came to implementing this project.
Working with my contractor/custom cabinetmaker, we leaned on Sophie to provide guidance in creating efficiency in the space while also maintaining the harmony and fit with the period of the house. We involved her in all phases of the design including planning and layout of the space, the look and feel of the cabinetry, surface and appliance selection. Each step of the process was signed off by Sophie before my contractor was given the go-ahead to move forward. Witnessing the confidence she had around her vision for my space helped me feel good about my decisions.
Sophie's experience in kitchen design took my kitchen remodel from good to great. Her eye for style is the icing on the cake and brings a unique and special touch to the final product - one that I know I would never have achieved on my own.
Asking for help from the right person made a huge difference in the outcome of my project. With the kind of money I was planning to invest in the kitchen, it would have been an expensive and immensely dissatisfying mistake had I not sought professional help."
Sarah S, Portland
"Sophie made it fun taking my style up a notch, and in the end it gave me a whole new way to connect with the people around me. Lots of laughs and lots of new stuff to choose from. She really knows what she is doing!"
Livia C, Portland – Marketing Professional
"We only decided 5 weeks prior to our fourth anniversary to get married that day, which consequently put me a bit under time pressure. With her unfailing sense of style Sophie suggested one dress for me to try. I tried it, and that was that, one major headache less to worry about, and a dress that was not short of perfect; size, cut, colour and frill-factor, as if made for me.
Thank you, Sophie!"
Brook T, Hillsboro – Graphic Designer
"Sophie is so fun! I know now that she is the person to go to with any fashion questions. I didn't need a whole new wardrobe, but Sophie helped me find certain items that would go with and update my look. She also paired together items of clothing I already had that I would never have put together... but they looked great! Sophie is the first person I think of when I have a fashion question.
If you're around Sophie for long you'll see her keeping an eye out for great new colors. She advised me on paint colors for the interior of my house and it could not have turned out better. She has a great eye for color, always looking clean, fresh and stylish!!"
Sarah D, McMinnville – Farmer/Artist
"I love the way she doesn't pull any punches! If something doesn't look good on me or my hair needs attention, I know she'll tell me the 100% truth! Sophie seriously helped me raise the bar on my standards of style."
Lucie Gardeil, Portland
"When I shop for clothes I am always very indecisive, I still struggle to judge what looks good on me, if is it the right color, if the cut is flattering, if it is the right size...
In those moments of hesitations, I remember my shopping experience with Sophie and I always ask myself "What would Sophie Say?". What I learned with Sophie is something I can use forever."
Diana T, Bend
I certainly appreciate our time together. You educated me to have a “new eye” when choosing clothing for myself. Walking into my closet brings a smile to my face. It is organized and fresh. Most importantly, I enjoyed your company.
Dawn L – PR manager by day / DJ by night
OMG , I Had SO MUCH fun with you Ms. Fauveau! We were on fire on Saturday I never knew shopping could be so much fun. Can't wait to hang out some more! What can I say? You have very much inspired me and I am so re-energized. An immediate and huge improvement over last week. I am wearing new clothes today and I feel great.
Stacy M, Advertising Exec. & Mother of two
Thank you Thank you Thank YOU !. I love the way my house looks but most of all I adore how it makes me feel: glamorous, in control and finally all grown-up! I love it !
We had friends over for dinner and they were totally impressed !! The chandelier seemed to be a topic of conversation a long time !
I absolutely love every inch of my house now. It is so beautiful but still has “me” written all over it! . Every morning is a joy to wake up and look around. I never get tired of it.
Rick T, Beaverton – Software engineer
Since I started wearing the glasses you picked with me, the compliments are non stop. 2 guys even asked me where I got my frames from! It still amazes me how different these make me look!!. Thanks fore helping me out!! For the first time in my life I actually enjoyed shopping and now want to go back out with you for clothes!
Erika Strauzer, Lake Oswego
Thank you for the great four hours we spent together on Tuesday night. I had a blast and can't believe how these jeans fit me !! Today I actually caught myself looking at my “derriere” in a mirror whispering to myself “looking good girl ! ”…
I owe 100% of my new “booty confidence” to you!”
John Q – Veterinarian
I am a sucker for everything French so you had me at “Bonjour” but then what really impressed me was your ideas and vision ! Mike and I learned a lot and had a great time reviewing the house plans with you.
I don't know how you know what you know, but you really know it…Our architect said to always plan to have you around when he comes over !
We still need to address the light problem as I totally see what you mean now, you are 100% right about that ! We are both so happy we met you! Can't wait for Wednesday…
Marcia B, Tigard – Mother of triplets
You have to come over ! The couch looks even better than in the store, I LOVE the color and it does totally change the room ! Thank you so much for helping me with that, I had been procrastinating for month and would probably have ended up with a boring brown one if I hadn't met you….
Again, thank you for taking the time to educate me on how to use colors ! I went to get throw pillows all by myself today and I love the combination. I think I can do this now ! The boys love it too…so does the cat and as you said, it doesn't show! This is magic !
Stella Mcbryne, Portland – Financial analyst & Yoga teacher
Just looking at my closet makes me happy….I can't believe how much stuff I had that didn't fit or was outdated ! It was not only cluttering the closet but also my thinking. Now I see clearly and getting dressed this morning took just a few minutes. It is a great feeling to know that every single piece of clothing in my closet actually fits and looks good on me. I am amazed at how quick you work and how efficient you are ! I can not thank you enough, this experience has truly been eye opening. I can't wait to go shopping now !
