Scout Personal Styling

No offense, but you need a face-lift.

Don’t be insulted. It’s just Scout-speak.

Launched by Alisa Neely, a former department-store stylist and children’s clothing designer, Scout offers personal styling with a simple philosophy: You are how you dress. Whether you’re a waitress, i-banker, or stay-at-home mom, Scout will match your wardrobe to your life and personality.

After editing your refuse-to-toss staples, your stylist will comb Boston’s racks for the perfect Punk Royal blazer, H&M leggings, or Mayle jet eyelet camisole. She’ll even cross state lines for a killer antique choker. (A good makeover knows no bounds.)

Nip and tuck with a full-on Facelift or freshen up with a two-hour Touch Up. Channel your inner Celebrity, and you’ll get five options for that upcoming Oscar party. Scout will even line up fab boutiques like Stil and Dress to throw a private party for you and your friends (stylist included, of course).

If only cosmetic surgery were this good.
