Bonjour! I’m Helene Cardon, Your Wardrobe Nerd.
I am a 40 year old personal stylist with a passion for slow fashion. I moved to the U.S. from France over a decade ago and live near Boulder, Colorado. After helping over 100 women refine their personal style, I have become Boulder's sustainable personal stylist. Here is my story!
Even though my love for fashion started way back, I used to work as a project manager in the corporate world in San Francisco. I left my career and moved to Colorado when expecting my first child, and following his birth I lost my sense of self and felt that I looked frumpy. Meanwhile my closet was filled with office attire, party dresses from pre-children times and ill-fitting maternity clothing. And let’s be honest, I’ve definitely had more than one “what on earth am I wearing?” moment!
I wanted to put the same care and attention into curating my wardrobe as I had into planning my baby's nursery, realizing that I had often neglected my own needs in the process. The goal was to create a wardrobe that wasn’t just comfortable and practical but also, a reflection of my authentic self. Today I’m proud to say that this wardrobe exists and 75% of it was bought preloved, on the secondhand market.
Ever since, it's been a topic I’ve been drawn to, constantly learning and updating my knowledge of both fashion and styling techniques, embracing my passion as a true wardrobe nerd.
It all started organically, helping friends with their wardrobes, then their friends... Until one day, one of them told me that editing her style with me was one of the best things she had done for herself in a while and how much needed this! That moment made me realize the true impact of my work and gave me the motivation to turn my passion into a dedicated service:
I aim to help women have fun with their style. To support them in cleaning out their closet, getting a fresh start and making room for who they want to be.
Creating your authentic personal style is a mindset shift.
Every closet has untapped potential; together, we’ll highlight what works, refine your favorites, and curate a wardrobe that feels both inspiring and sustainable.
With each piece we select, we’re telling your story: a wardrobe that reflects your unique journey and your values.
I would love to help you implement this shift.
