Clos-ette has found the ideal way to truly "Shop Your Closet".

Refashioner.com offers free registration to own your own digital customizable closet. All you need to do is email them telling them about yourself, your clothes and why you need to refashion your closet and they'll send you an invitation. Next step is to take pictures of your clothing and upload them for the fashion police to price. Think high-end consignment store from the comfort of your home!

Absolutely no time to photograph your clothes? No problem. Refashioner will send out their own photographers to your apartment for a reasonable fee. Once you upload your clothing and it's priced, half the value of your garments is yours to spend immediately. You can shop as if it's a retail store, create a shopping cart, and checkout! Mailing charge is always a flat rate of $5. And while you're shopping other fashionista's closets, they're shopping yours! As soon as an item from your closet is purchased, you'll receive a prepaid mailing label and all you have to do is stick it in the box and send it on its way to its new owner!

Every time you sell an item, you earn points towards your elite status as a refashioner member. Similarly, if your item does not reflect the pictures you posted online, you earn a stain. Too many stains and you're out!

So trade in your clothes that you're sick of for brand new ones without spending a dime! Refashioner is such a clever solution to stress-free shopping!

HIGH FASHION+DESIGN=MAISON MOSCHINO

One of Italy’s most iconic design houses, Moschino, has created the ultimate destination for style savvy globe-trotters. For all fashionistas in need of a reason to visit Milan...your charming, romantic suite at Maison Moschino hotel awaits you!

Moschino has combined two of Clos-ette’s favorite things to shape Maison Moschino: fashion and design. The modern hotel is located in the old neoclassical railway station on Milan's Viale Monte Grappa dating back to 1840. If you haven’t been yet, this four-story building is every stylish traveler’s dream come true - literally. The hotel consists of 65 rooms and 15 suites in addition to a bar, restaurant, gym and spa, with each room’s décor inspired by fairy tales.

Each room and suite is unique, maintaining the common theme of fairy tales, with every room more whimsical than the next.

Expect your room to completely wow you – with side chairs and bedspreads adorned in rose petals that seem to be falling from the light above, beautifully branch-shaped headboards, oversized teacup tables, and delicious pastry inspired pillows.

The imaginative and luxurious theme is carried throughout the hotel. The entrance hall, for example, features a lamp in the shape of one of the label's signature lampshade dresses. At the signature restaurant, “Clandestino Milano” expect eccentric dishes and a dreamlike menu. As Moschino describes it, “the hotel interior reflects Moschino’s distinctive style where the ordinary world is painted with a brush of surrealism.”Moschino is not the only design house branching out into the interior decorating. Diane Von Furstenberg, as Clos-ette told you, is coming out with a home line in addition to redesigning 20 rooms and suites at London’s Claridges hotel. The rooms are set to debut this June and we’re betting on bold colors and vibrant prints!

In addition, Christian Lacroix has graced Paris with his Hotel du Petit Moulin, a former bakery and Hotel Bellchasse. Each hotel is marked by Lacroix’s theatrical style, but maintains an intimate atmosphere.

One-Stop-Shop for fabulous designs and home decorating! - Hillary Thomas Designs!

The busy lives of today’s multitasking moms (THINK 3 kids and a high power job) don’t always allow as much time as necessary to revamp the home front. So Clos-ette is introducing you to a designer that will have just about everything you need – all in one place!

Hillary Thomas is a New York City-bred interior designer based in L.A. Not only can she help anyone, with any style, remodel their home, but she’s also just come out with “a new line of decorative children’s bedding anchored in tradition and nostalgia, with a classic, vintage vibe.” In addition to her upcoming home lines that reflect her East Coast background.



Her style? She focuses on her clients’ tastes and combines them with her knack for color and decorating. She sees beauty in imperfections, creating an honest, livable and inspiring place to call “home”. She’s also always trying to reuse pieces that can take on different personalities and looks with a little retouching. So when you work with Hillary, don’t expect to have to break the bank and buy all new products to have a fabulous remodel!

So where does her inspiration come from? Growing up in New York, attending college in Florida, and now living in California, she’s drawn inspiration from all over. In New York, a city where America’s history began is tons of traditional design mixed with the new, as New York is known for a its diverse population. In California she’s challenged by the independent spirits of the entrepreneurs who live there – which allows for such a freedom of design style.



As a mother, she sought out to create a stylish and durable children’s bedding line. She aimed to “incorporate high quality fabrics that are soft enough for snuggling and sturdy enough for bed jumping”. Clos-ette readers will receive a 10% discount on Hillary’s children’s bedding line “H” by Hillary Thomas Designs.

Stay tuned for the additional home lines coming soon, which are sure to fill a void in the home design space and make many designers and clients very happy to finally have some options in these categories! And be sure to visit her website www.hillarythomasdesigns.com!

XOXO,
Clos-ette
