Leather Jacket (my Paris splurge!): IRO | Tee: T by Alexander Wang | Skirt: T by Alexander Wang | Handbag: Balenciaga Papier | Shoes: Jimmy Choo | Sunglasses: Ray Ban | Lipstick: MAC Red | Ring: McQueen
This past week, I helped host an event with Elle Magazine, Downy & California Closets in celebration of the seven new Downy Infusions & Unstopables scent personalities. Elle Magazine gave me the amazing privilege of styling the seven closets based on what I felt described their scent personality. Feisty Fresh being one of them!
As someone who is constantly buying clothes (whether for the blog or for shoots I’m styling), I know how important it is to take care of your favorite pieces. Downy wanted to bring the #ClosetLoveAffair to women everywhere. They wanted us to fall in love with our clothes again. When clothes lose their softness, shape or freshness, they tend to shift to the back of the closet, becoming items we once loved but no longer wear. That happens to me all the time, my once favorite pieces becoming ratty and worn out. Nothing I despise more!
Below are some photos from the amazing event. I ended up putting my hair back and putting on a pair of chandelier earrings.
PS: Don’t forget to enter the #ClosetLoveAffair Pinterest contest, where one winner will receive a newly renovated California Closet (dreaming of one more than ever after the event!). Full contest details here.

I thought that was a gray dress at first, but I love it even more knowing it's versatile separates! Thanks for sharing.

Love that you can make separates look so effortless like a dress! And those shoes are killer.
October 4, 2013Also agree. You have to have at least one major Paris splurge. I still have a pair of black heels i bought 10 years ago in Paris that I adore.

Grey and red together is so amazing! And splurges on vacation are the best, they always remind you of that place and time when you wear them.
