Pick Out Artists: Rayne Hagstrom(left) and Nicole Drake(right)

Welcome to Pick Out Artists, where fashion is personal. We are the authors of  Ultimate Guide to Style: Drab to Fab!

Who We Are

We are not famous, but people often think we are due to our flair for fashion! Rayne specializes in make-overs for those who are going through a transformation in his/her life:  new moms, weight loss or weight gain, advancement in a career, interviewing for jobs, and/or those in the dating scene. Nicole focuses on organizing and cleaning out closets and makeovers for new moms, as she has experienced this herself recently. We empower and teach our clients how to put their best fashion foot forward.

Rayne has years of experience as a fit model, working closely with designers to help determine a garment’s best fit, from companies such as Felina, Tommy Bahama, Victoria’s Secret, Swim Systems and Frederick’s of Hollywood, just to name a few. Over the years she has developed a keen eye for determining what clothes would achieve the best overall look for a person, according to his/her body type and personal style. Rayne continues to blog about fashion and offers her expert style services at StyleByRayne.com.

Nicole spent many years as a successful print model and has a degree in psychology. We find that many clients become emotional as we pry them away from their super tight pants or 10 year old worn out shoes that have been taking up unnecessary space at the bottom of their closet. Thanks to her soft approach, Nicole is able to prepare clients to substitute the old and outdated for the modern and stylish. She can walk into a closet, understand what needs to be done and guide clients into creating new fabulous visions for themselves. Nicole continues to offer her closet clean out services and mommy makeovers at NicoleDrake.com.

These two women joined forces when they realized that they both shared a passion not only for fashion, but also for empowering self confidence in others. They found themselves wanting to put their expertise to use by helping others. Together, they collaborated in helping people look better and feel better than they ever thought they could in their book Ultimate Guide to Style: From Drab to Fab.

    You two are miracle workers! Your style makeover was spot on. You did it… I look at least 10 years younger. The new wardrobe is killer and you stayed within my budget. I’m a fan for life!

    I am a business owner (road warrior) and do not have any time available to check my closet. Do I have to be home while you both do your magic with my clothes?

    Thank you!
