Golden Divine: Fashion, Styling and Fabulous!


Today's blog post is very exciting to me! I would like to introduce one of my very good friends and associates; Ashley Marie. Ashley is published all over the internet for her style and fashion advice and even her own fashion and style blog called Golden Divine.

Ashley is assisting Haute Concierge Services and my clients with high fashion personal shopping services. We are available to help you with personal styling, wardrobe organization and at-home shopping services from most of the most popular fashion boutiques and department stores.

We have known each other since little kids on the playground in school. Now, we are playing in a new playground, the world of fashion and service. We are here to serve you! Contact me directly "CK" at 310-666-0853 for a free consultation for our personal concierge, shopping and stylist services.
