A couple of years ago, I turned a corner on my closet design. I had a light fixture in my closet that caught fire. NIGHTMARE!!!! So it gave me the excuse I needed to really revamp how I used the space. I don’t have a huge closet. For the size of my house its weird that the size of the master closets and bath are pretty underwhelming. But over the years I have definitely worked with what I have been given. Back to the closet….My approach for this space was to really merchandise it. It does not matter how big a closet is or how much storage space you have, if it always looks a mess, you will never be-inspired. I really want to be inspired by my closet because I am so passionate about the things I choose to put in it. Sooo I went about merchandising my belongings. I really tryed to display them so that it was very easy to pick out an outfit and accessory each time I went to get dressed. I had a small countertop installed and I had hooks installed above it all the way to the top of the ceiling. I have decorative objects displayed on the countertop and necklaces displayed all up and down the wall. I have a some beautiful framed watercolor artwwork from my favorite movie Grey Gardens and some vintage Chanel prints. My handbags are displayed on decorative drapery tie backs. So after working on this project for well over a year, to get it just so, my mom came to visit and she was surprised how different my closet looked. All she said to me was “It looks just like a little Boutique”. Honestly I really don’t know if she was saying that to be nice but I’ll take it and every since the re-do I have a much easier time getting ready!!!! Oh and I really do love love my closet now…

“I get by with a little help from my friends”….this is my motto and this is why I picked this weeks Book Club Monday choice, Text Me When You Get Home: The Evolution and Triumph of Modern Female Friendship. This title really spoke to me so I decided to share it!!! Here is the summary:
“Text me when you get home.” After joyful nights out together, female friends say this to one another as a way of cementing their love. It’s about safety; but more than that, it’s about solidarity.
From Broad City to Big Little Lies to what women say about their own best friends, the stories we’re telling about female friendship have changed. What used to be written off as infighting between mean girls or disposable relationships that would be tossed as soon as a guy came along are no longer described like that. Now, we’re lifting up our female friendships to the same level as our other important relationships, saying they matter just as much as the bonds we have with our romantic partners, children, parents, or siblings.
Journalist Kayleen Schaefer relays her journey of modern female friendship: from being a competitive teenager to trying to be one of the guys in the workplace to ultimately awakening to the power of female friendship and the soulmates, girl squads, and chosen families that come with it.
Schaefer has put together a completely new sociological perspective on the way we see our friends today, one that includes interviews with dozens of other women across the country: historians, creators of the most iconic films and television shows about female friendship (and Galentine’s Day!), celebrities, authors, and other experts. The end result is a validation of female friendship that’s never existed before. – amazon.com
