Empowered Image...Inspired Life!

My mission is simple. I am passionate about helping women unleash their full potential by discovering the power of looking and feeling their best. I enjoy seeing the renewed vitality and self confidence that individuals experience when they invest in their personal appearance. I hold a Masters degree in counseling and spent fifteen years managing programs to assist women, children and families. My training has equipped me with an enhanced ability to listen to my clients, help them set goals, and support their efforts to achieve the results they desire. My eye for style and life-long fascination with fashion has inspired me to develop my talents in myriad ways. I provided image consulting to women seeking employment, and facilitated professional development seminars. I worked in retail sales at Nordstrom and "Catch Can", a popular Washington, DC boutique. In 2010, I started Style Matters (http://stylemattersgreenville.com), an image consulting and personal wardrobe stylist business serving Greenville, South Carolina.  Writing about style also gives me the opportunity to remain current on trends and explore fashion in all of its fascinating dimensions.  I write for the Greenville, South Carolina Examiner.com (http://Examiner.com/fashion-trends-in-greenville/corey-urbina) and also have my own blog (http://www.stylemattersgreenville.com/blog).   Do you dream of walking the runway of life with enhanced style and confidence? I am eager to help you turn your dream into a reality. You may reach me at cu@holobi.com or coreyurbina@fashionforstylematters.com.

"My makeover was splendid. Corey was very professional and she knew how to help me determine my style needs and goals. She measured me,told me what shape I was and also explained how to dress to flatter my shape.  If she said something looked good on me that I had never thought to consider before, I considered it.  Mostly I bought it.  This was nice, because now I have great basics that make me feel new.  Corey also helped me to venture into new style territory. I bought a dress and a long sweater. I would never have considered purchasing these items before but I love both of them. Thanks to Corey, I now have a much better idea of what to buy for myself and what colors I look best in. I also feel like I might waste less money now. The whole experience has made me see myself in a slightly different way.  I’m still myself, but Corey made an improved version.  I think I look more sophisticated". Lynn, U.S. Government Employee

"After losing 75 pounds on a long-needed diet, I had the daunting task of not just rebuilding my wardrobe but starting over from scratch.  I really had NOTHING to wear!  I had gone from a size 18 to a size 10. During the time I was dieting, I kept myself motivated by dreaming about the new clothes I would be able to get. But it had been so long since I could fit into most clothes that I didn’t know whether my dreams of certain styles would match with the reality of what would really suit me best.  Corey Urbina came to my rescue.  We shopped together and she steered me to the clothes that would flatter my body but that were trendy and wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg.  Shopping with Corey is like shopping with an old friend.  She honored my likes and dislikes but also introduced me to styles that I never would have tried before.  I have received many compliments on my clothes lately.  Corey also gave me guidelines that I’ve been able to follow on my own and which will help me in my future shopping choices.  Her help was really invaluable." Connie, Teacher

 

From Hopeless to Happening.  Now that I am in my "golden years" and settled into full retirement,I decided that I needed a new image that would make me look as young as I feel.  My appointment with Corey Urbina changed by life!  Ms. Urbina came to my house and spent an entire afternoon meticulously doing my color analysis. She took her time,which is the way I like things now that I am retired,and thoughtfully pondered each color sample as she held it up next to my face and hair.  She patiently explained why some colors looked better than others on me.  I learned which colors I should gravitate to, and which colors I should minimize or avoid.  Who knew red was so unflattering on me all these years! After learning about what colors and styles looked well on me, I was fortified with the confidence to go shopping and pick out several outfits. 

Corey returned a couple weeks later for a follow-up session, devoted to reviewing my clothing choices. She also taught me all about how to accessorize. This session’s focus was on clothes and accessories that would show-off my good features, and minimize my problem areas.  She even brought some of her own jewelry that she knew would complement my coloring.  Her advice was invaluable. She also did my makeup that same day and taught me techniques with colors, and how to use brushes and other tools that I had never considered before.  She really opened my eyes to how I can use makeup to look more NATURAL! I must say,I looked really good after she "put me all together"! 

Ms. Urbina has a great talent for seeing the best in people and knowing how to enhance their appearance through color,fashion,and makeup. I came away from our time together more knowledgeable about what things look best on me, and feeling like a NEW WOMAN!  The end result of her counseling is yes, a more beautiful image on the outside, but what I love most is the newfound confidence I have on the inside.  THAT is immeasurable. Barbara, Retired Child Care Specialist
