About the Company In early 2006, co-founders Allison Abrams and Meeka Corporán discovered their mutual passion for helping others feel stylish and self-assured. Many conversations over coffee, cookies and cosmos ensued, and Polished Wardrobe Advising was born that November.
Allison Abrams
Allison maintains a life-long love affair with style and design. Her time abroad at the London College of Fashion studying the works of renowned British designers, the process of fashion forecasting and the impact and strategy of visual merchandising helped shape her ability to pull together looks with a uniquely chic and stylish, yet timeless feel. Making her clients feel confident through wardrobe updates that are both functional and fun fuels Allison's everlasting passion for fashion!
In addition to her position as Co-founder and Stylist for Polished, Allison works as a Buyer for local chain Isis Maternity and writes regularly for online magazine Running With Heels. Allison is also available for freelance fashion writing, photo styling, corporate coaching and special events.
Meeka Corporán
With a longtime passion for fashion and an innate sense for bargain hunting, Meeka has found her niche in wardrobe styling and editing. Originally from New York state, this soon-to-be mother of 2, believes that fashion is for everyone and every budget. And most importantly, it is not about spending hours in the mall or the local outlet stores.
A trusted stylist and credible salesperson, Meeka has honed her wardrobe editing skills over the last 10 years in the Boston-Cambridge fashion community. Working with luxury boutiques such as Tess & Carlos and Calypso, St. Barth, Meeka acquainted discerning clients with the fundamentals of a timeless wardrobe and refined their eye for inspirational hues and accessories to create an exceptional and custom-made look. As a part of the merchandising team for the TJX Companies and now RueLaLa.com, Meeka knows that we all want the look for less - but do not want to look like we paid less. Bargain shopping is a skill and Meeka delights in sharing her knowledge of Boston's best deals.
Meeka does not believe you should mimic the look of your favorite celebrity or become a carbon copy of the latest fashion trend. Her mission is simple: to unleash your personal flair, to heighten your sense of style, and to demystify the process along the way. The result is much-loved: a well put together, more polished you!
