Today, I thought I'd devote my blog to one of my favorite places of my home... my closet.
Eva Longoria has so much closet space, it seems she needs a ladder to reach all of her fabulous goodies!
Let's start by taking a peek inside a few other celebrity closets, so that we can all drool with envy :)
Nicole Richie looks so teeny tiny amongst all of her clothes - it's a good thing she has her pomeranian Foxxy Cleopatra to keep her company!

Look how beautiful Jessica Alba looks next to all of her incredible shoes. It's so cool how for each pair, one shoe is faced heel first and one shoe is faced toe first. I'd love to spend an afternoon trying all of those beauties on!

I just adore the design of Nicky Hilton's closet. From the dark hardwood floors to the clear glass closet doors and neon hangers, this space just screams chic luxury.

I love the natural aspect of fresh cut flowers in a vase on her drawers!
Some of us may feel that the closets of these celebrities are the size of our homes or apartments, but to be fair, most of the time they are :)
I really feel that it's not about how much space we have in our closet, but what we do with that space. Staying organized is key! Every few months, I like to clean out my closet and spend a few hours going through all of my clothing and accessories and determining what I really wear and need to keep.
Yes, I do keep certain garments that I don't wear on a daily basis for nostalgia, but I really believe it's important to donate clothes that are gathering dust to a charity organization or a homeless shelter, so that someone in need can really benefit from them.
One super stylish way to keep my shoes organized that a friend of mine introduced me to is Closet Fetish. Their Couture Shoebox is to die for!

Imagine how easy it will be to find and identify your shoes if you implement their True Shoe Diva Deal, which comes with 36 shoe boxes in your choice of colors such as Stiletto Red, Beige, Ballerina Slipper Pink, Lavender, Light Blue, and Chocolate Brown.

Plus, imagine how fun it will be to have a little photo shoot with all of your shoes!
Another way to add some creative color to your closet is by incorporating The Container Store's Tubular Hangers in Sorbet (sage green, orange sherbet, and bubblegum pink) and Ocean (navy blue, turquoise, and purple) color schemes.


Love this!
With all of these tips, it's important to not get carried away. I mean, how does someone even have this many different colored sweaters to color-code?? :)

If I had my way, my dream closet would look something like this:

Less of a traditional closet and more of a relaxing showroom for all of my clothes, or as I like to call them, my old friends. Such a cool vibe, right?
With all of these visions of pristine and beautifully organized closets dancing around in my head, I began thinking about some of my all-time favorite closets.
Carrie's closet on "Sex and the City" always seemed to be brimming with the most outrageously gorgeous garments.

Remember when Big showed Carrie her new closet in the "Sex and the City" movie?

Heaven! I also love the scene from "The Devil Wears Prada" when Nigel (Stanley Tucci) takes Andy (Anne Hathaway) through Runway Magazine's expansive closet.

"Chanel, you're in desperate need of Chanel" :)
Overall, my biggest tip is to be aware of every article of clothing and every accessory that you have in your closet, because remember... this is where your precious clothes live most of the year!
FUN TASK:
If you could create your dream closet, what would it look like? A wall full of shoes, a huge walk-in jewelry box? The more creative the better!
I'll pick a few of my favorites to win these clear shoe bins from West Elm, and because the girls who love to shop always have the best closets, my Heart 2 Shop eye shadow, a perfect pearly purple shade.

xoxoxo,
Carina

I love a clean looking closet and this screams clean and sleek. There is plenty of room for me to organize my closet exactly how I like. My friends think I am crazy for how I organize my closet. It is by color and type ie no sleeve, short sleeve, longsleeve, pant, and so on.....

This one is nice, except that the mirrors, plants, armchairs and my colorful clothes are missing!

This closet with it's beautiful fabrics has my heart palpitating!

Now ask if I wear them all....
YES!
I try to wear the same outfit as little as possible I have a certain look going, but I have so many different options as far as outfits... so my dream closet would be filled (and would not have my husbands clothes in it lmbo) He could have his own dream closet- this one is MINE!
I would have a wall of shoes, wall of accessories (belts, scarves, hats and bags)
Cute summer dressses that aren't too short, just something for lazy hot days, oh it would be glutinous but amazing.
...and, It would have a series of full lenth mirrors at the end so I could check my outfit head to toe every time I left the house
...AND my dream closet would have a fluff n fold built in so I would not have to do my own laundry ever ever ever again...
(whether my husband wanted it or not- he would have a built in fluff n fold too)
Okay... back to reality and back to the laundry...

This is my dream closet. seriously it looks like a shoe store
*SWOON*

I think this one is just so cute and sweet, it describes my personality completely. Plus, it's simple, and I love simple things ♥
At first glance, this closet reminded me of kitchen cabinets. Then I noticed the tiny upper compartments which look perfect for shoes and accesories, and I loved it. It's simple, yet unique at the same time.

i love the idea of the shoe boxes, but i have so many boots that i doubt many would fit in the boxes haha so i would have shelves built in for my shoes and boots and then to display my hats i would have glass or wire heads on a shelf around the top.
umm.... but i think that what i have described here would be the size of my apt. lol
maybe i should just turn my apt into a closet!!

Two of my lucky friends have dream closets! One has a celebrity closet like some of the pictures!! Shoes in perfect rows! She LOVES to shop! My other friend has a beautiful closet off of her master bathroom. The master bathroom is the most amazing bathroom I've ever seen that leads into this very long closet with rows and rows of clothes and even a washer & dryer in the closet so that she doesn't have to go all the way downstairs to do laundry! How fun is that!? As much as I'm jealous of their closets...I don't even have that much clothes to fill it! lol I'm working on that though!! They are helping with my shopping
And so is Fan Club with all of the amazing tips! I'm going shoe shopping this weekend! Hope I find some gorgeous pairs!

The walls would be a sage green because it's such a friendly color and I plan on speding a lot of time in there. My closet would absolutely have to have windows and maybe a sky light too. I love natural light and I think it's so important to see yourself in true light, while picking your outfit. There would be an entire wall for my shoes (who doesn't love shoes) and a cute library type ladder to reach the top shelves. I would also have a section with pull out drawers for jewelry (like in the Princess Diarys)...I can hear the angels sing now.

Can it come filled with couture, please?
written by MagicGirl, April 03, 2010
It would also be cool if I could change the layout or colour of my wardrobe whenever I felt like. Imagine if I felt romantic one day, then the wardrobe would turn pink. Sounds fun! Because your wardrobe is a part of your lifestyle !
Another thing I'd like would be a wall with many inside drawers, it would be fun If I could have all my shoes there!.

as much as i like a clothes or bag closet my ideal closet will be filled with be filled with all varieties of chocolates and sweets, it would be like a minature sweet shop
I would just spend time there with my friends and we can sample all the delicious sweeties and you guarantee everyone will be cheerful, who wouldnt when you have so much godies available.

But when all the doors were closed it would resemble a dance studio. Love that simple look.
Lots of space and lighting, and I would love to have french doors with flowy draperies and a balcony too!

I know that if I had enough space I'd like something with light colors and glass sliding doors.. something that bring both light and a natural mood:
I cannot have a dedicated room right now but...
as soon as I saw and touched this one
I felt in love with it and it is MY closet now
I love it anytime I come into my bedroom, it is just in front of the door with all its appeal!

OK So I am very modest lol..but I already have a few ideas...
Something like this would do..lol this is mariah's closet
This is her shoes section of the closet:
I love that is white because the coloros of the clothes stands out!
But if I want to be more realistic this would do but in white and add another shoes shelf:
O my...maybe I will forget kids after all and start working on my walk-in closet design...
