Designer-Vault

I am having so much fun helping my friend Christina launch her much needed website, Designer-Vault.com. Finally a way for me to take some of my not-often-enough-worn Designer items and find them a new home. Best part....a little $$ back to help invest (almost guilt-free) in next season's obsessions.

Last week I had the pleasure of tagging along to the GOODS magazine photo shoot (look for the feature on Designer-Vault in the May issue) and check out the fun behind the scenes shots.


Balenciaga & Louboutin....two of a girl's best friends



STILL Obsessed....

Bill Cunningham featured the Prada stoles in his Street Style post in the NY Times this past weekend. Further proof we are only at the beginning....wait until Fall!

Accessory Obsession

Marc Jacobs turned the stole into a muffler

Anna Della Russo (Tommy Ton)

Yesterday I had the opportunity to try on one of the Prada S11 Fur stoles....amazing! Not only is the design beautiful but the color in the fox is almost hard to believe. The color combo I tried on is just like like the one Anna Della Russo is sporting above but I also saw the orange/black/brown combo. I understand that faux fur variations will be available soon....put me on speed dial!!

Fashion Blogger's Closet

Last year Judy Aldridge (Atlantis Home) transformed part of her daughter Jane's (Sea of Shoes) bedroom to create a beautiful display/storage space for her collection of Vintage apparel and amazing footwear collection. Why not be able to view your most prized possessions rather than keeping them "hidden"?

Judy also redesigned her own closet. I love the way the clothing can be viewed with the tie back curtains. Brava Judy!

My favorite room in the House

The Wall Street Journal featured an article titled "The Closet comes out of the Closet" this week. This is more than an introduction to organization or a practical exploration on how to maximize space. Our closets house our most personal and sometimes sentimental belongings. So why not make them beautiful and "livable"? In 2011 I am determined to transform my closet....




Shoes, shoes, shoes......

Celebrity Closets.....More to follow.......

Fashion v. Style

LOVE the quote by Lauren Hutton (pretty amazing supermodel for 66) J Crew is using this month:

"Fashion is what you're offered 4 times a year. Style is what you pick out of that Fashion....it's what you make of it once you learn what to accept and ignore...."

Check out Feb. Harper's Bazaar and the article featuring Ms. Hutton: Lauren Hutton; The Wild One...

Happy 2011!

While I do not subscribe to traditional New Year's resolutions, I have made a promise to myself to keep up with my posts weekly (and sometimes more often) this year. This beautiful installation (a contemporary version of the Christmas Tree) was created by my friend Krista's partner and displayed in the most amazing high fashion store in Newport Beach, A'Maree's.
