lucy closet

I have a new theory. After my wardrobe overhaul, I realized my clothes had more of a personality than I thought. It occurred to me today as I went to put on a newly styled outfit, that my clothes had voices and lives a la Toy Story… I had this vision that every time I opened the closet door, my oldest and most pilled sweater prayed for me to put it on…. My old jeans, slumped over some hanger, knowing their days were numbered and I was just keeping them around for sentimental purposes, probably muttered “F you” under it’s breath as I pushed them aside for my skinny jeans… ...Read More
The day Robin Saperstein of High Heel in a Haystack contacted me about doing a Fashion Makeover, I was convinced we were having a kharmic, psychic fashion connection. Here I was, having just shot a video on how Appearances matter when it comes to Manners and how my American Apparel pullover and Lululemon yoga pants could take my son to preschool on their own if need be– and an LA based, celebrity stylist and former designer contacts me about working together…?! Well, to quote Lady Bananas: I. DIE. The deal was Robin was going to come over and give me a Wardrobe Overhaul. Together, we would examine my wardrobe from ...Read More

Just in time for Spring, I’m giving myself a mini (major) makeover – in the wardrobe department. I was contacted by LA Stylist Robin Saperstein, of High Heel in a Haystack, to see if I’d be interested in having a fashion makeover. (Hell to the yes!) Next week, she’ll come over and in about 4 hours, we’ll go through my closet and try on EVERYTHING. Robin will help me decide what to toss (donate to charity) and what to keep. Based on what we keep, she’ll not only help me organize my closet, but determine what goes with what. Basically, I’ll be shopping my own closet! Love it. After our ...Read More

A long time ago, I wrote a post for Momlogic about the Handmedown dilemma that I think every mom experiences. Whether you’re the Hand-me-down “Pitcher” (offering your kid’s puke stained bouncer and onesie), or the Hand-me-down “Catcher” (receiving your friend’s kid’s puke stained bouncer and onesie), knowing and understanding the HMD protocol can be a little anxiety provoking…. At least for me. (Shocker). My dear friend Norah and her partner Jane, however, have created a website that I think takes the anxiety out of what to do with that ridiculously annoying swing (that you secretly let your child sleep in for 9 months because you swear that sleep experts really ...Read More

Growing up, I can remember there being one closet in the house that was an “open at your own risk” type of closet. My mom called it the “Lucy Closet” (I assume there was an episode from “I Love Lucy” where Lucy shoved everything in one closet to clean up and every time it opened, everything fell out… ) Well that was like our closet…. Without a doubt, my office/guest bedroom has become a Lucy Closet of sorts– Every misfit item that needs a permanent home seems to end up in there. I’ve got containers of Baby-Ko’s old clothes, toys, files, gifts, chatchkes, you name it… It’s just a throw it ...Read More
