About Shop with Val
Transforming Lives
Through Fashion
I'm Valerie Halfon
Founder & CEO of Shop With Val
At Shop With Val, I believe exceptional personal style begins with understanding the individual. For 16 years, I've specialized in creating thoughtfully curated wardrobes that reflect each client's lifestyle, personality, and evolving needs. My approach combines a discerning eye for fashion with personalized attention, making the shopping and styling experience seamless, enjoyable, and highly efficient.
Shop With Val was founded in 2010, inspired by a transformative experience helping a dear friend rediscover her personal style and confidence. What began as a passion for helping others look and feel their best has evolved into a thriving personal styling business, with the privilege of serving more than 450 clients across two dozen countries. Throughout this journey, I've cultivated lasting client relationships and a trusted network of luxury retail partners, allowing me to offer a highly personalized and elevated shopping experience.
Beyond one-on-one styling appointments, I enjoy curating exclusive fashion events, collaborating with leading designers and luxury brands, and sharing my expertise through engaging presentations. From wardrobe refinement and seasonal updates to special occasions and the latest fashion trends, my goal is to help clients make confident, intentional style choices that feel effortlessly their own.
Above all, I believe personal style should inspire confidence, simplify everyday dressing, and enhance the way we move through life. I look forward to helping you discover a wardrobe that feels as exceptional as you are.
