I’ve been obsessed with fashion and creating content for as long as I can remember (dating back to when my ‘feed’ was my bedroom wall, covered in carefully curated mood boards of my own photos). I love putting outfits together in different ways to express individuality and make life more fun and interesting, and the same goes for home décor. When I was young, I loved to go in my grandmother’s “dressing room” - it had a golden peach vibe (think Parisian style) with lots of nail polishes, perfumes and mirrored hairbrushes. As I grew up, I would read Vogue, work in various retail stores and never turn down an opportunity to go out, dress up and take photos. I’ve always had some element of fashion and creativity embedded in my life and have been the “go to” style advisor for all my friends (whether it be for outfits or home décor). When I went to university for both a business and an arts degree, I didn’t know exactly what the outcome would be, but I knew it had to be something creative.
Fast forward to now, I have made a career at a fashion retail head office for the past 12 years (where I am a Senior Buyer and did visual merchandising and marketing). All this fashion and creative business knowledge made me want to help other people with their style. Enter, Style by K.P., merging my love for fashion styling and content creation. I help local retailers perfect their brand image and digital marketing strategies, bringing products to life through photography, styling, and storytelling. Then for individuals, I make fashion styling accessible - great style isn’t about price tags, but how you put things together. Whether it’s refreshing a wardrobe or curating the perfect brand aesthetic, I make style both effortless and affordable. Part of the art of fashion is you don’t have to spend a fortune to have great style, and part of the art of having a strong brand image is how you bring products to life, and curate an aesthetic that speaks to your customers. These are two things I am equally good at and passionate about.
So why Style by K.P.? Simply put, it’s my initials and what my closest friends from home call me - home is Newfoundland, where I was born and raised (I now live in Montreal and go home often). I’m a sucker for any kind of animal, love tea, and I also love tea (a lot). Aside from styling, my interests vary in the sense that you will either find me at the newest restaurant with a dirty martini, shopping for cutesy house things, renovating, or back home in my Dad’s fishing boat, “cod jigging”. These are the kinds of topics I’ll talk about in my blog, along with lots of style tips! You can check out my services in the menu above and follow my Instagram page for updates.
