Meet Your Shop Girl

Hey!  I’m Suzanne Colmer

Finding you clothes you love and that love you back

Before I tell you who I am, let me start by telling you who I am not. I am not the person who is going to put you in clothes that like you, but you don’t like back. I will not force you to buy clothes that are out of your budget (in fact I LOVE a good deal). I will not criticize your past clothes choices or put you in styles without telling you why they work.

I will however, help you find your ideal style and show you exactly which shapes and cuts to try and which to avoid. I will also help you shop for a closet of clothes that will multitask flawlessly so you never have to worry about what to wear (or how to wear it).

Why I do what I do

Why I Do What I Do

When I started Your Shop Girl in 2008 I wanted to ensure it reflected my style philosophy; it is simple, I focus on educating and empowering you to help curate a closet full of clothes you will actually wear and love. I focus on humans first and fashion second.

It all started over 17 years ago when in an effort to combine my instincts with instruction once I completed my undergrad at the University of Toronto, I became a graduate of George Brown’s Image Consulting program. My thirst for knowledge lead me to the centre of fashion itself – Paris, France, where I studied at the Sorbonne University; then onto New York to conquer the Fashion Institute of Technology. 

I love my job and I want you to love the experience.

“I really detest shopping and always have felt like a “deer in the headlights” in stores or worse, malls. Suzanne’s systematic approach has been therapy for me. She helped me determine a colour palette, a style guide and then combined the two to develop an approach for tackling a store on my own. I still love going shopping with her. "

"Suzanne has helped me change my entire wardrobe. She has helped me with my shirts, ties, shoes, jeans and everything else. It has changed my life! I receive compliments about my wardrobe all the time, and it is all because of Suzanne!"

"Can't thank you enough, Suzanne. You are truly an angel in my life!!! Honestly I get teared up sometimes when I feel the joy of upgrading my wardrobe like we are"

- EVANGELINE, SAN DIEGO

"Suzanne always quickly responds if I'm on the fence about a new piece, even though I'm based in Australia. She has made shopping more enjoyable for me and empowered me to find my style, be bolder and embrace taking up more space. "

- ASHLEY, AUSTRALIA

"If you’re feeling stuck or bored or in transition with your wardrobe, I highly recommend talking to Suzanne! She is so down to earth, knowledgeable, thorough, supportive, and respectful of individual style. She gave fantastic tips on dressing to feel great, creating a capsule wardrobe, and better using pieces you already have"

- EMMA, TORONTO

"Suzanne anticipated exactly what I needed for the office and out and about in town and in 3 hours together we were done. After a quick coffee, with clothes already set aside at a number of shops, there was no stress, no hassle, just good advice, a bit of learning for me and some choice pieces. Not one purchase has been left at the back of the closet"
