The Closet Edition




My clothing rack in the living room. I bought this mainly because my clothes didn't all fit into my closet....but it has become a great way to pick out key pieces for the season so I could put outfits together quickly when I'm on the run.


Hand Crafted Jewelry Box from my Auntie. This gorgeous box has a bottom layer which I use to store chunkier necklaces and hair pieces.

The lamp-shade-turned-earring-holder was purchased from Urban Outfitters on clearance. I think it would actually work great as both an earring holder and a lamp shade at the same time. Maybe I will attach a light bulb to it when I move to my new place this summer.
The hand painted shell of my Jewelry box.

This is my actual walk in! It's hard to get a shot at the whole thing but you get the idea.

The side of my walk-in where I hang most of my dresses and dressier tops. The dresses towards the left are mostly for interviews and business occasions.




Hello!

Yay I finally got a Flickr account and now I can put high-resolution pictures on here for you :).
A few weeks back I took some pictures of my closet. Of course the way I organize my closet changes pretty often, especially now with the seasons changing, but I focused on the structure of my closet here.

I take a LONG time getting dressed in the morning. So I try to put my outfit together the night before and hang them up so I won't be rushing in the mornings. The clothing rack also comes in handy for when I forget to organize my outfit the night before: I hang my go-to piece here so I could pull together a simple look on my way out.

I'm planning a move in August, before the start of next semester. So I will do a house tour then like they do on Apartment Therapy :).

Love,

Kiko

Spring Brights

(Top, LAMade; Skirt, BB Dakota; Scarf, Antrhopologie; Necklace, store in Little Tokyo)



Hello,

I just got my tripod in the mail! I'm still playing around with it so most of the pictures didn't come out great, but here are a couple of them that came out ok.

Took these on one of the sunnier days this past week. Even though it's spring time, Los Angeles is still a bit chilly. I wore this outfit till around 4pm and had to add a thick jacket once the sun went down.

There are a lot of talk about adding spring brights, most notably with the multi-colored Equipment blouses. In my opinion, spending over $200 on a bring color blouse aren't the best use of my money, especially with a vibrant and memorable color (they are not the most versatile because they stand out so much). I'd much rather spend my money on a bright accessory: a scarf (like the one here, fresh off the racks from Anthropologie), a purse or some bright shoes that can dress up any outfit and won't go out of style quickly.
