Bruce Pflaumer

Bruce Pflaumer

Founder & Style Expert

Certified Interior Decorator

Leading clients to self-actualization through a personal style journey.

I am a pro golfer in my head, terrible at keeping a poker face and a sucker for my grandsons.

I enjoy interesting people, a good movie, laughing, and Apple products.

Style isn’t one thing: it’s a lifestyle built over a lifetime. It’s the integration of your internal and external self, reflected to the world.

  • Bruce's 25-plus years of experience and expertise in the apparel industry include buying, selling, styling, merchandising, design, development, and brand building. With Michael Bruce Styling, his tenure in the fashion and design industries, dynamic personality, talents, and abilities merge, establishing him as an expert in the field of image and interior style. His clients are a diverse and dynamic group of individuals in search of finding or refining their style.

Bec Relyea

Bec Relyea

Image Consultant & Interior Stylist

Family, style, and travel (the order changes depending on the day).

Will also answer to Rebecca.

I am a glass half-full kind of person, detail oriented, obsessed with comfort and very loyal.

I enjoy fitting everything into a carry-on, being cozy, and clothes that don’t make me fidget.

Style is a way to make me feel like a million bucks.

  • Bec is an East coast girl with a PNW vibe who loves to travel and brings a flare of her travels around the world to style and sensibility as image and interior consultant and stylist. Her moto is “comfort is key” and she believes clothing choices for her clients should not only make them feel amazing but should also allow them to feel unencumbered and free to conquer whatever the day has in store. Great style does not have to be uncomfortable; it should fit you and your life.

Pamela Forgrieve

Director of Operations

Image Consultant/Stylist, CIC, CWS, CBS

Modeling for clients how to look and feel fabulous while owning your style with confidence.

I am the quintessential English rose complete with accent and thorns.

I enjoy shoes (there’s no such thing as too many shoes), fabulous style (wearing it, admiring it, and learning about it), books, music, and fast cars.

Style is an expression of oneself.

  • Pamela wears many stylish hats for Michael Bruce Styling. She is a Certified Image Consultant, Certified Wardrobe and Bridal Stylist as well as Director of Operations & Logistics. She also produces the Wisdom from The Wardrobe podcast. Her years of experience and style savviness allow her the ability to listen intently, understand, empathize, and ultimately help clients find their authentic personal style. In addition to representing who they are, Pamela appreciates that style needs to be sustainable long term, while making clients feel confident and empowered. She does all these things while wearing fabulous shoes!

Stacy Heller

Stacy Heller

Branding Consultant, Voice of the People

As “Voice of the People,” my role is to be real and relatable; I try to be both.

I am more introverted than you’d expect, excellent at making connections, and always paying attention to details.

I enjoy bold colors, G&Ts, and being a little bit irreverent.

Style speaks volumes before you say a word, so you’d better be clear about what you’re saying.

  • Stacy believes in connection through conversation, asking questions instead of making assumptions and engaging with the elephant in the room. She also believes the biggest obstacle most people have is themselves. Along with the work she does with the Michael Bruce Styling Team, Stacy also has her own podcast: Stacy Connects.

Client Testimonials

  • Close-up of exercise mat and resistance band with handles

    "My clothes were for a yoga teacher, I wasn't one anymore."

    Michael Bruce Styling utterly changed how I feel about shopping. I attended one of their style seminars and had a style consultation after. I had recently moved, gained weight, and only had a wardrobe fit for a yoga teacher. I wasn't going to be a yoga teacher anymore.

    The experience was nothing I had feared. They looked in my closet, showing me how to combine pieces I already had in new and interesting ways. They followed up, detailing all the new combinations which I printed and taped it next to my closet!

    The shopping was heaven, when I entered the dressing room, it was ready for me. Pamela walked me through each piece and explained how it could work. The whole experience was so much fun, we laughed throughout!

    - Rebecca

  • Stack of folded sweaters in beige, cream, gray, and orange.

    "They suggest pieces that are fantastic and comfortable!"

    I recently had a fantastic experience with Michael Bruce Styling. Bruce is an excellent listener who takes clients' concerns into account and assists them in discovering a style that is authentic and comfortable for them. He has an excellent grasp of fashion and suggests pieces that not only look fantastic but are also comfortable to wear. I highly recommend his services!

    - Adelina

  • Neatly organized closet shelves with folded sweaters in various colors, wicker baskets, bottles with pumps, and hanging clothes on the side.

    "Pamela and Bruce elevated my style and personal brand."

    I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Bruce Pflaumer at Michael Bruce Styling, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of transformative. Their keen eye for style and deep understanding of personal branding helped me elevate my style. Thank you, Bruce!

    - Richard

  • Cozy living room scene with a gray couch adorned with an orange pillow, a white round table decorated with orange flowers in a vase and a jug, and small pumpkins.

    "Consistently Impressed with Their Thoughtful Styling"

    I have worked with them several times now and each time I have been blown away. They think of things I never considered, and bring it all together so nicely. Highly recommend!

    - Chris

  • A brown butterfly chair with a cream blanket draped over it, placed on a round woven rug near large windows in a bright room.

    "They helped us with what to release when we downsized."

    When we downsized from a family home to a two-bedroom condo, Bruce and Bec saved us so much time, money, and stress by helping us determine what to keep and what to “release.” They came up with a complete design plan for beautifully furnishing our new space that included existing furnishings and decor and brought in new elements that make the new space feel fresh, yet familiar and very much, us.

    - Sue

    "Simply the Best for Style and Confidence Boost!"

    Bruce and the team are the best in the business! If you need a boost in your image or self-confidence, look no further. They are detail oriented, up to date on what is in style, and have the eye for what looks great on YOU! You will love the way you look and feel after working with Bruce and the team, I guarantee it!

    -Kellen

    "I actually enjoy getting dressed for work!"

    Bruce and Pamela from Michael Bruce Styling have been fantastic to work with. I was very hesitant at first but realized that their services are an investment in myself. I am so happy with my decision. I enjoy getting dressed for work now.

    - Cathryn

  • Person walking in hallway carrying shopping bags and a camera.

    "Most people don't like shopping, and especially men."

    I don't like it because it's overwhelming and I cannot decide fast enough. Whether this item will look better or this one, oh and how about this one there... and hours later I am still not sure I bought the right outfit. So frustrating.

    Bruce and Pamela make the entire process super easy. They have an eye for what to look for based on your goals and your style. When they shop, they know exactly, and before you know it, what will be best for you. And clearly, they know what they are doing. They do it right. They do it fast. And the outcome is outstanding.

    What I love best is that they are not judgmental. They are professionals and just know what they're doing.

    I highly recommend Michael Bruce Styling. You won't regret it.

    - Stephane

    "Timeless and Unique Results"

    Michael Bruce Styling gets 5 stars from me! I've worked with Bruce and his team a handful of times on different projects, and I'm always happy with the outcome. Timeless, unique, and well-styled... everything from my wardrobe to my home. Thank you Bruce and team for arming me with your best so I can present my best.

  • Flat lay of cozy fashion items including sweaters, sneakers, handbags, sunglasses, a watch, and accessories in beige, gray, and orange tones.

    "A Fun, Fear-Free Style Journey with Pamela and Bruce"

    The experience wasn't what I feared. They showed me how to combine my existing clothes in new ways and followed up with an email listing all the combinations, which I taped by my closet.

    Shopping with Pamela was heaven. Each dressing room was ready, and she showed me how each piece worked with others. By the end, I had curated outfits and a list of future pieces.

    The Michael Bruce Styling experience was so much fun—we laughed the whole time, and Bruce even made a special appearance! If you're feeling stuck with your style, call them. You won't regret it.

    "More Than Style: Thoughtful Guidance from Bruce and His Team"

    Wow, Bruce and his team are AMAZING. If there is any stylist to hire, hire them! I never realized how deep style goes, and they take so much time and thoughtfulness to plan together outfits that make you feel amazing. They really take the time to educate you on why things work and why they don't, which I so needed help with. I can't recommend them enough!

    - Tennyson

  • Men's closet with suits, shirts, and shoes

    "Changing Style and Self-Perception"

    The team at Michael Bruce Styling will not only change the way you look, but the way you look at yourself. If you want to give your closet a boost, as well as your self-image and confidence level, then call Bruce Pflaumer. You will never look better or feel better.

Wisdom from

the Wardrobe

Our not-too-serious podcast about serious style.

Style is far more relevant than people realize; it informs every aspect of how we show up in our daily lives. We’re not talking about fashion or trends; we’re talking about personal style, a statement to the world about who you are. While the Michael Bruce Styling team takes style seriously, they do not take themselves seriously. Instead, they offer relatable insights, information, and ideas with the ultimate goal of educating and entertaining listeners.

Every great transformation starts with a conversation.

It doesn’t have to be dramatic. It doesn’t have to be obvious.
It just has to feel like you.

We’ve worked with clients who weren’t sure what they needed - only that something was off. A wardrobe that no longer fits the season they’re in. A space that felt unfinished. A sense that their style had fallen out of sync with their life.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. That’s where we begin.
