What Do You Mean Boutique?

August 20, 2025By Kriena Nederveen

Let's talk shopping for a change, okay? Ha ha! Seriously for a second. Which do you prefer? A department store with everything under the sun or a well-curated boutique where all the styles are up your alley?

What about a sample sale with its cattle pen dressing room? A vintage store? A high-end consignment shop? Sale season? If just reading that list makes you feel overwhelmed, it's often a sign of a closet style rut. I know some of you are getting hives!

Your Expert Eye in a World of Options

While some of you are adept corporate negotiators, lawyers, and artists — incredibly skilled at what you do — I am energized by any and all of these shopping scenarios. It's what I do. With decades in the fashion business dressing everyone from A-list celebrities to friends and family, it's how I see the world.

From the sale room to the couture floor, my role as your personal stylist is to devour what is out there. I analyze the trends at every price point, sift through all of the options, and assemble combinations that work, that surprise, that harmonize. I'm not just looking for great clothes; I'm drawn to what out there would work best for you. I can't help it.

Beyond Homogeneity: Curating Your True Personal Style

I'm not sure how you answered those questions about shopping, but I'm sure you have your preferences. You go to the stores you like, and then you go back. What often happens is that your closet takes on a homogeneity you never intended. It happens to the best of us.

This is what gives me the most satisfaction: moving you beyond that rut to find your personal style. We'll discover a tightly curated set of clothes that truly works for your body, your work, your play, your personality, your life.

Creating Your Virtual Personal Boutique

When I envisioned Clé D'Or, I found joy in using my expertise to serve you directly. Let's be honest: there is no one boutique shop in the world that is perfectly curated just for you.

But through Clé D'Or, there is a virtual one. My service is designed to be your perfect personal boutique, where I sift through all the options and bring you the pieces you never knew you always needed. And I love it!

It is my passion and my privilege to help you look your best. I hope you will let me.
