One of the things that I truly believe makes styling a look easier is to embrace a little wardrobe organisation.
In this month’s issue of Elle Magazine, I’m excited to be opening the doors to my closet and taking readers on a little tour of how I keep things organised and also a few of my favourite pieces.
As I reveal in the magazine, I’ve actually converted a spare bedroom at home into an office/dressing room so I’m able to have a dedicated space to do fittings and also to work on my blog. I’m really lucky to be able to have the space to do this and it’s without a doubt, it’s one of my favourite spaces, and a sanctuary in my house.
I’m often asked about how I keep my clothes organised so I decided to do a slightly more in depth look here; namely to share some of my favourite wardrobe organisation tips plus give you an insight into the pieces that I wear all the time.
Scroll down for a peek into my closet…
There’s nothing more important than an organised closet so I had a few custom built-ins put in at home to help make it easier. I like having a place for everything, but most importantly being able to see what I own at a glance. I’ve found that’s really important when it comes to avoiding wardrobe dilemmas.Shoes are my number one splurge. I’d rather direct my fashion budget to shoes more than anything else. I get so much wear out of them so I figure it’s worth investing in beautiful pieces that are made to last.Accessories are king in my closet. I’ll all about sunglasses, shoes and bags. I’ve got a number of sunnies in my collection and I wear them all the time. They’re a great finishing touch to any look.A few of my current favourites. Without a doubt my go-to brands are Chanel, Gucci and Dior when it comes to shoes. They all do such classic, well-crafted and on point pieces.It’s great sitting amongst the things that inspire me when I’m working—my favourite books, the closet pieces that I love and a few decorative touches that make me smile.I spend a lot of time doing fittings so I wanted a dedicated space to make it a fun experience. All my looks, whether it be a big glam event or a racing event such as Melbourne Cup, all come together here.I treated myself to these boots recently. I love them because they’re so versatile but still a lot of fun and such a statement item.Lining things up on racks is always handy when I’m trying to style several different looks and want to see my options at a glance. If you’ve got the patience to do it, it’s also a great way to organise your looks for the week.Some old and new favourites. I wore the Gucci heels and headband to the races a few years back and still love them. The Chanel backpack and oversized Louis Vuitton scarf are both must-haves when I’m travelling.I think it’s important to have everything neatly laid out and organised into categories. I often group coats with coats, bags with bags, t-shirts with t-shirts and so forth so I don’t waste time having to look for certain pieces. It’s all there at my fingertips.
It’s been a fun-filled week this week. Given story time with my girls is without a doubt the highlight of my day, I was thrilled to announce that I’ve become an ambassador for Huawei’s Story Sign app which uses Huawei AI technology to help deaf children enjoy story time. For deaf children, learning sign language is crucial for cognitive, social and psychological development and to provide an avenue to help facilitate this is so important.
Another big event this week was that Elle Australia came to visit me at home and have done an article delving into my wardrobe. I chat to the magazine about everything from spring racing style to my love of shoes and I share a peek into my closet and a number of my favourite pieces.
