Shopping & Style Retreat

Picture this: Mother's Day brunch. Coffee in hand, everyone around the table. She's expecting flowers, maybe a nice card. Then you slide an envelope across the table. Inside: a three-day retreat just for her. No yoga. No meditation. Something that lasts a whole lot longer. Style. The moment you had your first baby, your style changed. The clothes hanging in your closet don't feel like yours anymore. And every single morning, the same thought: "What do I even wear?" This weekend isn't just about finding new clothes. It's about rediscovering who you are when you get dressed and learning how to articulate it, understand it, and replicate it every day without thinking twice. Because styling is a skill. And skills can be learned. What makes this different: Only 6 women. Ever. That's not a marketing line, it's a promise. A small group means real one-on-one time, honest conversations, and a weekend that actually moves the needle. Not a conference. Not a course. A retreat. Three days at a luxury hotel in downtown Ottawa. Two dinners out. One stylist who's spent 10 years teaching women exactly this. Here's what to expect: Day 1 — Arrive & Settle In May 15 Check in to your room at the Andaz Hotel in Ottawa's ByWard Market, take a breath, and let the week behind you go. That evening, we sit down together for dinner and we get to work. Over a glass of wine, Rebecca walks you through the fundamentals of personal style: what it actually is, why yours shifted, and the anchor point method that makes getting dressed feel effortless instead of exhausting. No homework. No prep. Just show up. Day 2 — Your Time, Your Questions May 16 This is the day that changes things. You'll sit down with Rebecca one-on-one for 90 minutes, bring the pieces you never reach for, the outfits that feel almost right, and every question you've been too embarrassed to ask a salesperson. Nothing is off limits. She'll help you understand what stays, what goes, and exactly what you've been missing. The rest of the day is yours. Explore Parliament Hill, find a coffee shop, book a spa treatment, Ottawa is a beautiful city and it's all at your doorstep. That evening, the group reunites for dinner on the Andaz rooftop patio. Day 3 — Shop Like You Know What You're Doing May 17 Because now you do. Rebecca takes the group through two of Ottawa's best shopping neighbourhoods — the ByWard Market and Westboro — stopping into local boutiques at a range of price points. You'll have your shopping list. You'll know your anchors. You'll know exactly what you're looking for and why. You leave with bags in hand and, more importantly, the knowledge to do this again on your own in any city, in any store, for the rest of your life.
