Tucker Tops!

If you could buy ONE top and one top only...what would it be?

Tucker's signature blouse by Gaby Basora is the answer...
My absolute favorite purchases are day-to-night pieces. You know, tops or bottoms that can be worn 24/7 - from lunching to lounging to letting loose!

And her signature blouse was created for that very reason: versatility. Made from silk with a button down front and shirred neckline, it can be tucked into a high waisted skirt for work or paired with skinny jeans for a night out. The shape is flattering, yet sexy...comfortable, yet chic.



















What makes this fashionista even more impressive? Whether it be floral, animal or abstract prints, the patterns are designed by Gaby in her NYC design studio. Now THAT is what I call a designer!

Gaby's popularity has skyrocketed since launching Tucker in 2005, expanding into a collection of over 18 pieces, including dresses, coats and lingerie. Tucker's been featured in everything from Vogue to New York Times and spotted on celebs such as Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz, along with dozens more.

You can purchase Tucker clothing in over 100 retail stores worldwide including Bergdorfs, Barneys, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks, and ShopBop!

The psychology of storing a fancy heeled shoe...

You have finally found the perfect dress shoe for all your upcoming events. You get home after a long day of shopping, take them out of the box, admire them for a moment – applauding yourself once more for your fabulous taste, and then veryyyy carefully put them back into the box or dustbag that they came in and store them in the bottom of your closet until it’s time to wear them.





Now doesn’t that sound silly?! Consider all the time and money you invested into these shoes!
Not to mention that you’ll only be showing off your spectacular purchase for a few hours each month during your special occasions! No shoe lasts forever - Why not flaunt these shoes all year round? Conserve the floor space for your boots!
There are plenty of ways to display your shoes while making sure they stay looking brand new. Clos-ette can help you showcase your shoes on you and off!

XOXO

German design or Bust - Julia Aulenbacher




We’re always encouraging you to “Shop Your Closet” and make vintage pieces brand new. Interior designer, Julia Aulenbacher, did just that when she started her own product line last year. Her inspiration? Her mother’s Marimekko dresses and different patterns she collected from the 60’s. You can see one of the many vintage inspired patterns on Julia’s new Yellow Leaf Marimekko Dress.


Clos-ette loves a contemporary modern mix with an eclectic edge. With hot summer trends like boyfriend jeans and blazers, Julia’s Bavarian shirts are an awesome way to follow the menswear-inspired craze, while staying cool in the summer. The Bavarian shirt, traditionally worn only by men during Oktober Fest in Julia’s native Germany, can be paired with jeans and flip flops for a cute, loose summer look!


Not only does her line include fabulous clothes, but the furniture is awesome, too! Julia is all about mixing pieces from different periods, cultures and styles. She uses natural materials to create contemporary products and interiors with an eclectic edge. The Bavarian Children’s Chair is an awesome example of Julia’s updated traditional style with modern clean lines. If you need a kid-proof, transportable, yet stylish chair, this is it!


Right now you can order her products through email or over the phone, but they will be available through her website (www.juliaaulenbacher.com) ASAP!!
