Wow!

But Spring is near and fashion is in the air!  So sit back with a cuppa' and enjoy the gorgeous gowns, fresh styles and fab finds!  And maybe, just maybe, you will be in the mood for a little spring cleaning? 
Live, Laugh & Shop!

The Stylist Diva

Once upon a time
Once upon a time - by The Diva herself... on Polyvore.com
While we are on the subject of fab British designers, let's talk...Tar-jay! ( Otherwise known as my favorite everyday store with the red bull's eye) With a twist of lime and a hint o' Alexander McQueen! Oh, how I can't get enough McQueen and now he will have a line coming out at Target in just a few days! ((squeal in delight!)) We must give Target props for stepping up and outsmarting the other retail stores.  Thanks Target for  featuring fab designers and making their designs affordable enough for anyone.  Now you too can have a chance to step out in true European style! Thanks Tar-jay, we love you!

I thought I would change things up a bit and offer all you lovelies some closet make-over tips!  Yes I know we all dream of having Mariah's closet ( or shall I say, " small boutique"?! ) but even if you don't own 25 pairs of Manola's you can still make your closet a diva's dream come true!  So use the above pics for inspiration and following tips for perspiration!

The Stylist Diva’s tips on obtaining a fab closet!


Hollywood Divas~ Oscars 2009
I am the first to admit I can't live without my laptop, cell phone, i-pod, skype, digital camera and plasma tv, but old Hollywood glamour is in my heart forever. I was so excited to see such lovely ladies grace the crimson carpet this year. It makes me proud to be a working in the same industry as these elegant young women in this crazy, yet fabulous, business!  Tinseltown greets you with open arms, ladies!

Miley Cyrus looks amazing in this Zuhair Murad gown topped off with Neil Lane jewelry. This was by far my favorite dress of the night!
Kate Winslet looked confident & gorgeous in this asymmetrical Atelier Yves Saint Laurent gown and Chopard jewels. I’m so happy for her win! We love you Kate!
Anne Hathaway is my fashion crush!  Arriving in a champagne-colored strapless Armani Prive gown that beamed with Swarovski crystals and Cartier diamonds to match!
Marisa Tomei looked oh-so-stylish in this  Versace Atelier satin organza ball gown and estate jewels from Van Cleef & Arpels.
Natalie Portman grabbed our attention in this orchid gown by Rodarte and Kwiat. Simply fabulous!
Evan Rachel Wood strutted her stuff in this Elie Saab haute couture gown, accented with Neil Lane gems.
Naomi Campbell struts down the runway for a good cause at the Fashion for Relief event  in London. High-fashion designs were later auctioned off on behalf of the White Ribbon Alliance. This feathered Zac Posen gown was picked for a mere $45,000!  Oh Zac, can't you spare another? Maybe I can scrape together a few bucks.

I think if any of you were to watch my face when attending Fashion Week you would laugh your behind off! I'm like a deer in headlights.  I know if I was at this Matthew Williamson show I would of done the same thing, times 10!  WOW! What a great modern twist on 70's hues.  Nicely done.
Alexander McQueen debut March 4th!!!
You say you want a revolution?
I lazily walked into the kitchen last week where the mail was eagerly awaiting to be picked up. Little did I know my day was about to get even better!  I screached when I saw the cover of the new H& M Home catalog!!! It's here! The time has come! H & M Home! And can I just say... DAMN. It's really fantastic! I'm quite thankful to be living abroad for now because there is so many perks! Like being able to order this pillow from the incredibly talented, Liselotte Watkins, a fabulous Swedish designer.  Check these eye-grabbing fabrics and home accessories.  Hey! I warned you these would cause was inspiration overload!!!

Spring is in the air...
Munthe Plus Simonsen 2009 Spring Collection
I have two  favorite lines of Danish Fashion and Munthe Plus Simonsen is one of them.  Last August while attending Copenhagen Fashion Week I knew  this collection would be the best one and well, it was. And now it's here and ready for you.  Danish fashion is rather simple with just  touch of entricate details only where it needs to be.  Stylish, sleek and comfortable.  Fashion where you can be yourself. That's the difference that I adore.  Munthe Plus Simonsen are two ladies that put this together so elequintally!
Noa Noa 2009 Spring Collection
...and Noa Noa is my other favorite.  When you walk into a Noa Noa shop you automatically feel whisked away into this ultra-femme destination where you want to skip through a field of lavender.  Each piece is designed to make you feel unique and pretty.  The link is a Danish site but you can also search other countries where their line is sold. Including, Great Britian.  Search. Drool. Purchase. You won't be disappointed. Trust me.
Lace Pottery by Maggie Weldon
What a perfect new piece to spruce up any room in the house this Spring!  Maggie Weldon makes these delicate delights by hand.  Each piece is formed by combining her two loves and talents of crochet and pottery.  There is many other colors available. All of them just as stunning as the next. Take a peek for yourself!
Ready for Spring Cleaning??
Before you start you should hit up your local discount store or IKEA and purchase some medium & large plastic containers or fabulously, patterned storage boxes. These will come in handy when you start to sort. Also pick up some sticky labels and a sharpie.

• Set aside two to four hours to attack a small closet or 4-6 hours to wrestle a walk-in!

• If you can convince your best friend to come over and make it an event, that’s even              better! Whether she helps or just laughs at your old 80’s hypercolor shirts, it’s all                   worth it. So put on your fave cd and let’s go!

• REMEMBER: If it hasn’t been worn  in over a year and it’s not sentimental,                                 sensational, vintage or special occasion, DUMP it, SELL it (isn't that what Ebay is                    for?)   or DONATE. If you have been a size 18 for 5 years STOP holding on to those                  size 10 jeans!  If you lose weight then you can treat yourself to a brand new pair and if          you stay the same size then stop torturing yourself! You are beautiful no matter                     what size you are!

• Ready? Take everything that's not on a hanger out of your closet. As you remove                    each item, sort it into one of 6 piles:

                             1. TRASH:          This means if it’s stained, old, ratty, holey,
                                                               out of style and UGLY…DUMP it!
                             2. SELL:               Anything without holes or isn’t worn out
                                                               that you know you can make a little cash on,
                                                               you will need a stash for a few new pieces to add
                                                               to your wardrobe. I am a firm believer in this!
                            3. DONATE:       Charities always need all types of clothing
                                                               in various styles and sizes. Do your part.
                            4. PROJECTS:   That little black dress that you are hanging
                                                               on to even though you are too lazy to sew
                                                               the button on. Sew it! And use that baby!
                           5. STORAGE:     Spring is here and near! Pack up all those winter                                                                                      sweaters and coats for next season and bring
                                                              out the bright skirts and sandals!
                           6. KEEP:               Once your closet has had it’s makeover then
                                                               you can carefully put your good clothes back
                                                               in their new places.

• You should have nothing in your closet that is NOT currently wearable. Yes, toss the            spandex, overalls and your high school prom dress!

• If you haven't worn it in a year… get rid of it!

• Make sure everything in your closet goes with something else.

SEPARATE!:
  1.)  By color: from light to dark
  2.)  By type ( jackets, blouses, pants, skirts, etc.)
  3.)  By style (short-sleeve, long-sleeve)

• Say NO to wire hangers! ( drop them off at the dry cleaner’s to recycle)

• Use padded hangers for your delicates.

• Use wooden hangers or colored plastic ones. Stick with one color!

• Place baskets in for laundry, dry-cleaning, and alterations/mending.

• Use double-hanging rods for shorter items.

• Get rid of dry cleaner plastic covers as they clutter up your closet.

• Store small loose items in drawer systems or plastic tubs.

• Put purses and bags on shelves or hooks inside your closet.

• Take shoes out of their original cardboard boxes.
  (*Tip*: RE-USE shoe boxes using decoupage making them into decorative storage)             

• Use a shoe rack to keep shoes in sight and organized.

• How does it really look? This is where a friend can come in handy. If that orange sweater     makes you look like the great pumpkin…you know what to do.

• Take into consideration that your closet is the home of a womans' most beloved                     possessions. Adorn your closet with a curtain (as shown above) instead of a door.                  Fabrics add just the right softness to any room. Don’t’ be afraid to get a little crafty!  Add    ruffle trim to the edge of the shelves to “foof”-erize.  Create your own space with your          own style using a painting, a vase, or a gorgeous jewelry box. When you take the time          and add that little touch you will feel like a diva even when you slip on your trousers for     the office!

• Congratulations on a job well done! Now take a hot bath, put on your favorite pair of             jeans and go out and celebrate!  The least you can do is treat you friend to dinner.  She        has alot of your fashion secrets to keep under wraps!

To maintain your fab closet you should repeat these steps
every 6 months.

SORRY!  Due to unexpected circumstances & technical issues, Stylist Diva is on a break and will back with fabulous finds & TONS of fashion on
July 15th!
