my heavy rotation rolling rack. sometimes i discover things hiding in my actual closet and put them here to remind myself to wear them. and i am creepily o.c.d., so yes, i line up all the hangers like a freak.
that little track that you see used to have 4 mirrored sliding doors on it. not anymore. took those babies right off in a moment of "where the hell is that top?" frustration. now, there's nowhere to hide.
a caravan of cardigans.
jewelry on every possible surface. like an easter egg hunt finding things.
printsplosion.
boots boots boots boots boots.
got this missoni blanket a couple years ago and i love it. looks like granny's old knit throw. coco loves using her little claws to smash it into a ball and lay all up in it.
my favorite vintage levi's. my not so favorite carpet.
see, here she is about to start on the blanket mashing.
i have the majority of my necklaces on coat hooks hanging off of my door. which keeps them all from getting tangled. the downfall is the slamming of them all against the door with every open and close.
i have an obsession with sud pacifique perfume. and they stopped making it. savoring every spray.
check out those ears. all the better to hear you with, my dear.
my little gypsy den. and yes, i quoted brandy in my post title. you know that song was the jam in middle school. so, alot of you ask where i get all of my clothes/jewelry/etc. let me explain. i have worked in the fashion industry since i was 16. retail, buying, merchandising, styling....you name it, i've probably done it. an ash of all trades. i did buying for a store for 4 years, and that's when the real stockpiling began. when you are able to get everything at cost, it is hard not to become a collector of sorts. alot of the styling work i do usually includes payment in the form of clothing. and now, since working for planet blue for 4 years, it's spend it while you make it city! hope that explains my abundance of stuff. it's not like i'm some spoiled brat, i work hard and hoard! you can totally borrow something.
Ashley, I love these photos, and your jewrelly collection is to die for, I love it all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us see into your world. Great post.

it looks so cozy with the carpet, what a perfect underground for your boots. everything is so fabulously organized, the boots are like perfectly stored. i am in love with that little mirror cabinet. you have so many precious and delicate fabrics, the lace, the sequins, so pretty. but i am so jealous of your jewelry collection, so eclectic and that is why i love it.
ReplyDeletewaow. you have a dream closet.. so big.. and the best clothing in it:) drool.
ReplyDeleteMy dream wardrobe!

First of all, your closet is like heaven. I'm living in a dorm room where my "closet" is more like an indent into the wall. Needless to say tears were brought to my eyes when I saw your beautiful closet ;)
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day!

Holy sh*t.. I would DIE to have a scavenger hunt in your room. It's my wardrobe heaven, and it's exploded in every nook and cranny available, even the bathroom!! C'o)

ReplyDeleteCan you IMAGINE the epic dress up we'd have if we saw each other's rooms?
ReplyDeleteO. M. G.
ps. I hang my necklaces in the same way behind a door and the swinging kills me too.
pps. I think we have the same mirrored jewellery chest. Urban Outfitters? I almost bought another one. Too. Much. Stuff
LOVED the printsplotion!!

you have a beautiful space. i love that you work hard for your things. there is an authentic love of what you do and a solid connection to your readers that comes out in your posts. so much respect for you.
ReplyDeleteI think if I did what you do...clothing would be hoarded and then hated. Ha. When I buy new things, that means an equal amount of old things get hated on. I look at them in disgust, even if I bought them not long before the new things. But I won't part with it. So dumb. Maybe you wouldn't have that problem though, because you only have awesome clothing. Not many choices here in the middle of nowhere, USA. Damn. I need to come there.
ReplyDeleteGreat post per usual, lady!

I am in LOVE with that sequin harness....Love these shots...I'm in much envy over the space of your closet. If you'd see my little whole in the wall, I'm sure you'd giggle :)

your wardrobe is a dream! working in the fashion industry would definitely make it impossible to resist putting everything you make back into it.. but at least you look incredible ;) and good idea about a display rack for things you want to wear more, i'm always forgetting i bought certain pieces..
ReplyDeletemy closet is crap compared to this, haha.
ReplyDeletelove your blog.

WOW, I wanna come and raid your closet!!! It's to die for! Love all the pictures of your jewelry, I love all the rings, I have a slight ring obession, I have bowls of them all over my room, but nothing that compares to your collection!
ReplyDeleteI love sud pacifique perfume too, it smells divine!

I love the Brandy reference! Definitely takes me back...
ReplyDeleteI used to hang my necklaces like that, but the noise when opening and closing the door made me paranoid that they'd all break one day. But I feel like gleaning some of your jewellery display ideas, so thank you for this post.
I also love seeing your little dog pop up in photos too. So cute!
I love your wardrobe, it's so put together. I have like 20 different styles in mine..
ReplyDeleteLove this post! I want your missoni blanket and those amazing pillows..and, well, your entire wardrobe? haha. and I swear, I though I was the only obsessor of sud pacifique!! me and my sisters are so obsessed..like a tropical vacation in a bottle, and now I just preserve the empty remains so I can smell the bottle from time to time..hahaha
ReplyDeleteoh, and your pup is precciousss!

ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky! Being a buyer not only sounds amazing, but obviously has it's perks too seeing all of your items!I love the way you organize your amazing piles of clothes!
ReplyDeletemad props for taking the doors off your closet! i hate wall to wall mirrors.
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a drool-worthy closet--- that explains a lot! That's really cool that you worked your way up-- I think I would accept those clothes as payment anyday! You could start a closet library or something-- I want to check out some jewelry!
ReplyDeleteLa Petite Marmoset
ps. when trying to reorganize my closet i took off one of my mirrors.. only to have it land on the corner of my bed and shatter into pieces.
ReplyDeleteit made for an awesome photoshoot though!
you can almost see me hiding behind the clothes
ReplyDeletexo small bites
I smiled at the Brandy reference. I'm pretty sure that was college for me which makes me old. I love Sud Pacifique, too! I recognized those metal cans! I think I liked the vanilla/apricot and cocoa? I was a fragrance 'model' in college and then again when I had my babies and worked part time.
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog. Is your dog a papillon?

ReplyDeletedang. i am incredibly jealous of your closet space. i live in a tiny cottage with my bf and have left him some (minimal) space. i dream of large closets.... some day. for now the cottage works. i just have to do a lot of in with the new out with the old which isn't too bad.

omg.. i know i'm the same had my store for 12 years... and i was a total soiled brat.. but i sold it to come to colombia and i love being sort of light in my step.. however....i've already started the hoard, can't help it. btw, i love your doggie and apartment is awesome, i love you blog. xoox
ReplyDeleteI can TOTALLY relate..I have worked in retail since 20 years old (I am old lady now at 31) and had soooo many dresses (I workd for Nicole Miller for 6 years)BUT I am a habitual closet cleaner (actually do it professionally for clients) and would consign or give to goodwill every 6 months or so...my motto- if I haven't worn it in 12 months, I am never going to....now I wish I had saved some of those amazing one of a kind dresses and accessories....I am JEALY of your amazing collection- but you keep it REALLY well organized girlie. Thanks for sharing.C
ReplyDeleteDamn babe, now that's a closet! I'm jealous of the work you do and the collection you've established! Bravo
ReplyDeletehttp://andreas-7am.blogspot.com
you literally crack me up- i write to my readers like their sitting with me in the room too, so i totally can hear your personality through your writing. you just inspired my next blog post. i just did a closet clean, i am quite the horder myself, although yours is color coded and by style (which is so amazingly ambitious) but i'm gonna do a post about my hoarding as well. ps i used to wear escada collection perfume, then sud pacifique the extreme vanille when they discountinued mine, now they discontinued both! :( im very sad about it so i moved onto hanae mori. love your blog, love your style- i'm a super fan.
