Closet 101

Closet problems? Ask me! I have a tiny Victorian style closet but with careful planning, I’ve made it all work. When you have a small closet, the key is organization, organization, organization! From colors to outfits coordination, you can transform your closet and picking up outfits is so much easier.

#ClosetTips: Start by categorizing your clothes by colors, then move on to shirts and blouses. My top closet is dedicated to shirts, sweater, jackets, blazers and pants, which are organized by sleeve length, color and pattern. I start with white, yellow, pink, blue, everything in between and keep going to darker colors. I also separate my blouses by stripes or flower/stars patterns so I know where to go when I want a fun top.

#ClosetTips: Organize your dresses by occasion, color and season. It makes life so much easier when you’re wondering what to wear. Since my closet is the size of a door, REALLY, whoever built this house had no idea of the amount of clothes a girl can have. Not to panic. I have these wonderful wonder hangers that have made my closet very happy.

#ClosetTips: Use your room’s space efficiently. Using door hangers for my bags and necklaces has been great. I keep them all nice and organized and spaced out for easy decisions. Stay tune for more #ClosetTips!

Bang Salon love

Sometimes you just need to be pampered. Hair styling is one of those things that make me happy, the process of having someone play with your hair and style just takes indulgence to a whole new level.

Meet your beauty go-to salon in DC: Bang Salon. The philosophy is simple, let Patrick know what you like and allow him to play with your hair. Expert hair treatment, yes please! Katie did a wonder blow-dry job, she starts styling full time next week.

Hue Ultra Low Cut Liner

I just bought these Hue low cut liner socks and I love them! They are seamless, light liners that you don’t even feel them. It’s almost like you’re not wearing any socks. The liners come in black and skin color; they have silicone at the back to guarantee they stay in place.

They are perfect to use with your Tory Burch reva ballet flats.  You can get them at NordstromBloomingdalesDillard’s. P.S. I got them at Nordstrom Rack for $2.95!

Red Blazer

I have been looking for the perfect red blazer for months. I have ordered them from everywhere and anywhere and there was always a problem, fit, color, look, something just wasn’t right.. well I finally found it. I looooooove my red blazer from Zara.

I got it in New York but I recently went to the store in Georgetown in D.C. and they have it! There’s a navy blue in the same style if you’re interested. If you are a regular on my blog, you know my passion for stripes.

As soon as I bought my red blazer, I knew exactly I wanted to wear it with my knit stripe sweater crew neck dress from American Apparel right away.

Red blazers are great items to have this season. Try also the red blazer with a white t-shirt and jeans, black blouse and stripe black and white mini skirt, polka dot dress, white tee and black jeans.. so many options.
