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!

I love hosting dinner parties; having people over and cooking can be very fun. Although it’s usually Will who does most of the cooking, I like to organize, plan and do a few appetizers, it must be the planner in me.

This H&M polka dots dress (last seen here) is one of my favorite dinner outfits and matches my Anthropology polka dots apron. Double polka dots, yes please!

MB Fashion Week Fall 2012 RTW so far..

Hi fashionistas, I know I’ve been out of the loop for a bit but work has been crazy this week. Nonetheless, here’s recap on this year’s fall Mercedes Benz fashion week in New York. Jason Wu’s fall collection highlights an army of Chinese female powerhouse. From the wooden doors to the uniform outfits on the runway, Wu brings a collection of red, embroideries and militaristic outfits.

BCBG Max Azria’s geometric vivid colors are such an inspiration. The orange keeps coming back, I love how vivid colors brighten up fall and winter season. The collection is full of chiffon, leather, canvas, color blocks, and the dresses style are great on different types of bodies which makes the collection even better. If you’re looking for chic leather jackets, BCBG has it all!

I loved Rag & Bone’s contemporary winter layering, vests, furs, jackets, tunics, electric colors and glamorous mixes. Bronze, grey, brown and burgundy wrapped around this fashion week’s show.

Winter at the Beach

Winter at the beach has a bittersweet feeling to it. You still enjoy the view but wish it was warmer to go in the water. I wore a Zara red blazer, JCrew boy shirt in Carrick Tartan, Guess by Marciano skinny jeans (last seen here), Steve Madden Intyce boots (my favorite pair) as I went to the shops in East Hampton later, hence the outfit.

My red blazer is one of those pieces I have in my closet I love and although I want to wear it all the time, I have to space it out and pick the perfect match. The JCrew shirt is the perfect example. It keeps it colorful, classic and trendy! Hope everyone is having a good week, xoxo!
