closet confidential

When I moved to Los Angeles, I seriously downsized my wardrobe as I no longer had use for my cold weather clothing (don’t worry - I didn’t give them away... my little sister was more than happy to “keep an eye” on everything for me :). Though I’m only dealing with half of what my closet used to be, I’m still having trouble keeping my clothes in order! Desperate for some new storage solutions, I compiled these images as a bit of inspiration to get my closet back on track (It’s important to note that on my early-twenty-something budget, most of these photos are aspirational!). Who's closet/wardrobe/dressing room do you most identify with?

These photos of Manolo Blahnik’s home (I believe it’s in Paris), shot by Ivan Terestchenko, made my morning. His raspberry and pink striped sofa reminds me of peppermint candy... so sumptuous. And I love that Terestchenko shot the designer’s workroom. It almost could pass for the average joe’s garage-- that is, until you get to the custom wooden lasts and couture stilettos on the counter. Mr. Blahnik, you kill me ;)
