Discover the transformative power of intentional style with Tamara Fiona Curling, the Connecticut‑based personal stylist known professionally as Tamara Fashion Stylist. With more than 25 years of experience in high‑end fashion and personal styling, Tamara brings a refined, intuitive, and deeply personalized approach to helping women and men elevate their everyday presence through wardrobe clarity and confidence‑driven style.

Her retail styling spans luxury brands, contemporary labels, and curated essentials—ensuring every client receives a wardrobe built with precision and purpose.

This hybrid model allows her to create wardrobes that feel intentional, modern, and truly one‑of‑a‑kind.

Tamara’s background includes early experience in New York City’s fashion world, which sharpened her eye for proportion, detail, and visual balance. Today, she uses that refined perspective to style real women and men navigating real lives—career changes, body changes, lifestyle shifts, or simply the desire to feel confident again.

Whether you’re seeking a Wardrobe Refresh, a Closet Edit, or a complete personal style transformation, Tamara guides you through a thoughtful, supportive process that helps you define your signature look, rebuild your wardrobe with intention, and step into a more confident version of yourself.

For women, Tamara specializes in creating wardrobes that honor lifestyle, body, and identity. “focus on body‑honoring fit, lifestyle alignment, and building a wardrobe that reflects her confidence, identity, and everyday needs. My goal is to create clarity, ease, and a signature style that feels elevated, modern, and true to who she is.”
For men, she focuses on modern streamlined look, sharp tailored fit, strong, confident appearance, fit refinement, and building a wardrobe that reflects presence and personal confidence.

Tamara far exceeded any expectations I had for creating a mini makeover and styling day. Her ability to know what works best on your body type as well as her gift of restyling the same outfit in several ways had me excited to try on things, not full of dread like I do when I shop!! The variety of styles, colors and textures in the boutique are not only aesthetically pleasing, they offer options for everyone. Tam has truly created a one-of-a-kind styling experience!

And let me not fail to mention, she also has a partnership with a makeup artist (Roberto) who I was able to schedule for the same day. What he did for my face was unreal!!! It was not over done and he used all the natural colors that I love but in ways I never thought to use. I certainly recommend this entire experience for anyone who needs a little change or boost of confidence.

Tamara has been an amazing mentor as I begin the process of starting my own styling business. When I shared with Tamara some of my dreams she immediately took me under her wing and helped me through the process of starting my own LLC and guiding me to make sure everything was correct. She also has been an amazing help teaching me how to set prices and has invited me to go to fashion week with her. I cannot thank her enough and I will continue working with her and will forever be indebted to her. Thanks Tam!

I have been a client of Tamara for 20 years, starting from when she first had a boutique on Pearl Street in Hartford back in the early 2000’s. I can wholeheartedly say that not only does she have fabulous taste, but she has the unique ability to empower women through fashion – something you don’t often come across. For her, it’s not just about “making a sale”, she truly wants you to feel good in what you are wearing; I can somewhat jokingly say that she won’t let you buy anything unless you absolutely love it ;)

Many of the clothing items I bought from her 20 years ago are still hanging in my closet, as the pieces she picks simply don’t go “out of style”. Her clothing is a combination of stylish but not trendy, high end but affordable, and always quality over quantity. I live in San Francisco now and still make it a point to try and see her when I’m back in town – and it’s not just to add some fabulous new clothing to my wardrobe, but because when you leave her store you feel like you just met with an old friend: she’s kind, insightful, and wants you to feel not only good but completely comfortable and beautiful in your own skin. She doesn’t have a disingenuous bone in her body. She’s a class act and one of a kind.
