I signed up for Pinterest awhile ago but finally started pinning the other night and it’s totally addicting! I’m always saving pics of my favorite spaces from the web and now and this makes it so much easier to both collect pictures and organize them. I highly recommend it! You can also start following me, I’m under Adrienne Voboril. Take a peak!

Inspiring Closets

The natural light, the floor length mirrors, the subtle pops of colors, egh I have complete closet envy. As you know I’ve been purging and organizing and while I don’t have the closet the size of most bedrooms ( I mean really who does?) maybe one day it’ll happen. Until then, it’s still fun to look.
Bringing me back down to reality, this is a great article from Real Simple with 31 practical ways to makeover your closets. Some of my favorites include mounting a peg board for small accessories:

And using slimming hangers to save space (they really work, these are great from the Container Store).
I’ll get going on those practical solutions but I can still dream that one day I’ll have a space big enough for art and a fun vintage chair for when I’m just too exhausted from dressing myself.

What makes a blog worth reading?
August 22nd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Joe and I headed to Napa this weekend (sans the little man) for a much needed getaway and it was fantastic! Given all our new found downtime, I was able to peruse some fashion mags that I haven’t read in months (looks like I need to invest in some polka dots and novelty knits for fall :)
What struck me most, other than the over the top mode, were the constant references to bloggers. For what even I thought would be a passing fad, blogging and tweets have truly made their mark on the publishing industry.
Which leads me to the all important question, what makes a blog worth reading? Original content to be sure, but it seems like it takes more than that given all that’s out there. Look at the cult phenomenon blog atlantic-pacific:

It’s such a simple concept- take beautiful pics of what you wear each day. Now, it’s more than that because Blair Eadie has a true talent in styling and such a strong POV in each of her ensembles (plus I love that she’s in SF!) So even despite atlantic-pacific’s simplicity, I visit her blog daily and am inspired by each of her outfits.
So my question to you is, what topics are worthy enough for you to visit my blog? What do you want to read about? I’d love your feedback! You can either comment or email me at starterstylist@gmail.com.
Hope you all have a great Monday!
