Wrist Shot Fundamentals
Comedic actress Olivia Munn has recently added “good luck charm” to her resume. Since she started dating New York Ranger Brad Richards, the team was on a 7-0 winning streak. But Munn isn’t Richards’ only good luck charm. The Canadian hockey player also owns a horseshoe given to him by a friend’s son.
“I’m superstitious, so if something means good luck and it’s given to me, I won’t just...

A MODest Closet
Most women can’t afford authentic vintage clothing and jewelry. But ModCloth, a Pittsburgh-based e-commerce site, can get you pretty close. Launched in 2002 by now-husband-and-wife team Eric Koger and Susan Gregg-Koger, ModCloth carries brands such as Jeffrey Campbell and BB Dakota.
ModCloth has made a humble arrival in the online-retail industry and hasn’t been overlooked. Team Koger was...

Step Into the Lyons Den
As the creative director at J.Crew, Jenna Lyons knows a thing or two about fashion. So, it wasn’t surprising when Oprah featured the style icon and dreamer on her ‘Dream Jobs’ episode in April 2010.
It has been a while since the episode aired, but we were so amazed by the intro into Lyons’ section that we felt it deserved another look. Specifically, we are still floored that she converted a...

Several Closet Tips for Courtney Love
The other week we came across this “Behind the Clothes” video on Stylelist featuring Courtney Love. Although she is known for her “grunge” look, Love actually has a very extensive closet. But we do have some pointers for her.
0:25 Before Love rocked out in the band Hole, she worked in a wardrobe department. This is where she learned all about vintage clothing, she says. Almost 30 years...

Remove Your Clothes in a Pinch
Dress shirts buttoned to the collar don’t wrinkle when they’re hung. But removing the hangers can cause a struggle between you and the shirt. Afraid to yank the hanger and damage the shirt, you consider unbuttoning the shirt—if only there weren’t so many buttons!
Quirky, a product manufacturer, launched a solution to your problem. The SOLO hangers are a quick and easy way to remove your shirts....

The Final Closet
In September, we blogged a sneak peak, behind-the-scenes look of CEO Lisa Adam’s project in Pacific Palisades. Now that you’re in the process of putting up that last strand of garland or piece of mistletoe around your home, we’d like to share some of the final closet design.
Improvements to the client’s closet started with shelving. Lisa recommended using angled shelves to clearly display...

Shop for Success.
Tis the season to be giving and what a better way to give back this holiday season than through a local charity. Since 2009, I’ve been fortunate enough to work as an ambassador to worldwide charity, Dress For Success, and this past weekend I helped to design and sponsor their pop-up store space in Hollywood.
In addition to getting the store up and running for the weekend, LA Closet Design was...

2. Do it yourself…
Living on a budget does not condemn your closet to a lifetime of disorganization and scattered belongings. In fact, such budget-minded tendencies actually open up doors for more creativity. Home organization systems are widely available at places like IKEA or The Container Store. Not only are they efficient organization tools, but they are also wallet friendly, clocking in...

Explore a wide range of seating options: from a small portable-style seat, to a comfy and stylish overstuffed chair to a small built-in bench, the number of choices out there ensure that you will find something to suit your own closet and sense of style.

6. Reflect more.
You can have the perfect closet as home to your stunning wardrobe, but if you are unable to actually see the combinations of pants and tops, dresses and shoes, then there’s a problem. Hence, the full-length mirror is a prized asset to any closet. Not only will a large mirror give you a means to see your entire outfit, but it will also reflect light and give the room a more open...

8. See the light.
Closets don’t always have the most glamorous of reputations. Many are more dark and dingy than fresh and fashionable…which brings us to our next point: include ample light! Lighting is of utmost importance for any type of decorating, but especially for closets. Not only is a bright room more appealing (and less depressing!), but it is also necessary to be able to determine...

10. For the Love of Rods.
A closet is only as efficient as its rod space. If there is not enough hanging space for your favorite Tory Burch shift or Giorgio Armani suit coat, then we have a serious problem. A general rule of thumb when designing your closet is to allow at least 48 inches of rod length per person in the household. Now we know that not everyone has the luxury of designing their own...

Sassy Scarf Central
Scarves are the perfect warmth provider in winter and autumn and the quintessential outfit topper for summer and spring. What they may not be so perfect for: storing. Prone to being stuffed in a corner and subsequent wrinkling, scarves lead a hard life. But a simple, affordable, functional and chic alternative? Your closet’s very own scarf rod. You can find a rod like this one, typically intended...
Lining up the Little Ones
We’ve all seen it. That heap of clothes in the corner. The crumpled mess of tangled shoes, belts, and tidbits lurking in the most remote recesses of the closet. Grounding them? It never works. Telling them to clean it? Even worse. Kids will be kids. And, unfortunately, “kids” can sometimes be a synonym for messy and unorganized. Yet with a bit of helpful advice, becoming (and most importantly,...
