BACK TO BASICS
The New Year is all about creating a fresh start! With that in mind, it's the perfect time to make sure your closet is covered, and you have all the essentials to ensure your wardrobe is kept in perfect working order in the year to come. Clients often come to me for recommendations on the products I love to see in every closet. These are a few of the hand-picked necessities you should invest in, to keep your closet woes to a minimum in 2018!
Q: WHAT'S THE BEST STEAMER TO KEEP IN A CLOSET?
Conair ExtremeSteam Handheld Steamer - It's the perfect size to tuck away into a cabinet or drawer, and packs some serious power! The best part, this little steamer has attachments for maintaining all your garments, and can go in a carry-on for a weekend away!
Q: WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO STUFF BAGS AND SHOES SO THEY DON'T WRINKLE?
These items are often some of the largest investments in your wardrobe! Rather than letting them pile up on a shelf, your bags and shoes should have the proper inserts to help them maintain their shape. Purse pillows, boot trees, and shoe inserts will keep your pieces looking their best. (And for smaller bags, you can stuff them with their dust bags!)
Q: WHAT'S THE BEST GARMENT RACK FOR PACKING, STAGING, AND OVERFLOW?
One word: IKEA!!!
Q: WHAT'S THE BEST KIND OF HAMPER TO INCORPORATE IN THE CLOSET?
Stay tuned for LACD's new hamper to hit the market! (Shhh...)
In the meantime, have separate liners for dry-cleaning and machine wash, to simplify the laundry process!
Q: HOW CAN I PROTECT MY CASHMERE SWEATERS?
Invest in a sweater case to keep your knits protected from moths and messy drawers! These, scented with lavender, will also ensure they're kept fresh for every wear!
Q: WHAT'S THE BEST BASIC TEE?
The Vince Basic Boy Tee is the perfect plain white tee! Comfortable in cotton with a simple crewneck, this shirt will quickly become a staple in your closet!
Q: HOW DO I KEEP MY ACCESSORIES FROM GETTING LOST IN A DEEP CABINET?
Create a custom insert to ensure everything has a place! If you can't see it you won't wear it, so why not put the goods on display in a way that's both functional and beautiful?! Custom vanity trays can add much-needed efficiency for storing all your daily essentials in any space of the home!
