Let me be your Diane von Furstenberg personal shopper!

I am a Personal Shopper specializing in Diane von Furstenberg clothing. Since DvF's design studio is here in NYC, I have the best access to sizes, prints and styles; plus I get actual runway pieces and one-of-a-kind designs that never hit stores! I have been doing this for over 5 years and am very knowlegable about her collections. This blog will be a place where you can see what items I have in stock, which can then be purchased using PayPal or money order. Come in and take a look!

Please keep in mind that DvF sizes run small compared to mainstream labels! If you have never tried on or purchased a DvF before, please contact me to discuss your measurements to that we can figure out what your most likely DvF size is.

Available sizes (marked with X):
(add 4 to US size to convert to approx UK size, i.e. US6 equates to UK10)
