Closets can be beautiful spaces. But they can also be complete nightmares. Keeping my closet organized is an everyday chore. While some people categorize their clothes by color or by season, I like to organize my clothes by garments: long dresses, short dresses, skirts, pants, jackets, etc. I find it's very easy to find what I want if I know all my clean tops, for example are all in their own section. Shoes however, are a completely different story. So while I get my act together, I thought we could take a peek inside some famous closets and try to get some inspiration for our own. Let's start with my favorite: Mariah's.
Gorgeous!! It's so like her, girly and over the top. I love the floor design with the golden stars and of course, the gilded chandeliers. I find chandeliers look lovely in spaces like these, powders rooms and bathrooms. They just elevate the entire room.
Eva Longoria's is very traditional and elegant. The staircase lends a fun touch.
Christina Aguilera's. It really reflects her own personal style, doesn't it?
Olivia Wilde's. I am strangely attracted to this design. It has such an unusual aesthetic. The different textures and colors of the wooden walls, floor and rug, the fringed chandelier, and the rare mirrored design of the vanity table all come together quite nicely. Plus, you can't beat the natural sunlight streaming through the windows.
Nicky Hilton's.
Miley Cyrus'. Totally girly but with a bit of a rocker edge.
Kimora Simmons'. Over the top, just like her.
Paris Hilton's.
Paula Abdul's.
Rachel Zoe's.
Hope these images have inspired you a bit! Now tell me, what's your closet situation like?
Today the world has lost a legend. An incredible actress, a great humanitarian, and the girl with the most famous violet eyes in history.
I've been a lifelong fan of Elizabeth Taylor, ever since I was a little girl. I remember seeing her pictures in magazines and watching snippets of her movies, and being in complete awe of her. She just seemed so elegant and beautiful in that natural way movie stars used have back then. I dreamt of being just like her when I grew up. (But, you know, without the 8 marriages.) My grandmother used to wear her perfume, White Diamonds and I thought it was the pinnacle of sophistication. 
It's curious that she passed away today, precisely because I've had her in my mind lately. Last month I finally did something I'd been dying to do for years: watch Cleopatra, the 1963 film which stars Liz and the love of her life, Richard Burton. Throughout the years, I'd seen tiny portions here and there, but I had never watched the entire movie. Since it's 4 hours long, you'll understand why. But one Saturday afternoon I caught it on TV and I'm so happy I watched. The script is a bit lagging at times, but Liz's costumes are gorgeous and the set design is truly out of this world! In fact, I'm planning on doing a post about it in the coming days, so stay tuned...
