"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>My friend Derek Sanders, who is an architect and owner of La Esquina designed these amazing closets for me. All the specs were laid out for a fashionista which helps to keep everything organized. It's key to keep all the folded items folded with placket or front of shirt showing in some way and sorted by color. That goes for hanging items too. It looks neater and is much easier to find things when organized by color and silhouette</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Clothes, Various Designers</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>This red bag is one of my favorites from my Chanel bag collection. I wear this bag cross-body when I need a quick shot of chic. I adore these YSL earrings because they add a pop of color around the face. I love that they’re mismatched, which makes for a more casual moment. The Miu Miu bangles are a nice way to add color to an outfit and also give a nod to the whimsical fruits trend without going overboard. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Bag, Chanel; Earrings, Yves Saint Laurent; Bracelets, Miu Miu </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Let’s just say I have a “fondness” for Chanel.  I love how both Coco Chanel, and now Karl Lagerfeld, have consistently pushed the envelop on classic silhouettes and iconography. Believe it or not, I got this necklace at a sample sale for $75 and have worn it about a hundred and fifty thousand times. Again, like my Chanel bags, I find you can pop them on with just about anything and feel polished in an instant. 

The dress was spotted for me by Natalie Massenet at an amazing vintage shop she took me to during Paris fashion week one season.  I went back to that same place the next season and bought the blush color herringbone brocade jacket. I nearly went mental when I saw the black tweed jacket with the bead trim come down the runway because it was so unique. The feathered piece behind them is a tribal headdress from Cameroon. Another amazing find from decorator Milly de Cabrol. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, Chanel</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>This is another piece that has plenty of miles on the odometer. In this particular season (Spring 2003), this motif was a strong element. I chose to buy accessories instead of buying clothing with this embellishment so I could take any basic look from nothing to something. The necklace is draped on a throw that Milly de Cabrol got me from an antique market in Tangiers. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Necklace, Prada</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I got this vintage dress probably 7 or 8 years ago just because I thought it was kind of fabulous. For some reason I had it in my head that I would wear it if I was feeling like “Ice Storm” and hosting a dinner party. P.S. I’ve never worn this and the tag is still on. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, Vintage</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'> I remember sitting next to Sarah Easley from Kirna Zabete in Paris, and she was wearing a Duru Oluwu piece and gave me his phone number. I think at that point he was only selling from a shop on the Portobello Road. My first one was numbered. These butterfly embellished sling back peep toes are from Marc Jacobs. I rarely wear them, but again, they’re just fun to keep around. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dresses, Duru Oluwu; Shoes, Marc Jacobs</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The Feder Stratocaster was a gift from photographer Raphael Mazucco. I haven't worn this Philip Lim dress since that season, but maybe it's time to go out and play with these new Giuseppe Zanotti suede boots I ordered. I'm feeling a lace-up boot again. That said, these Proenza boots are pretty much my go-to. The fur is vintage. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Dress, 3.1 Phillip Lim; Coat, Vintage; Lace-Up Boots, Giuseppe Zanotti; Suede Boots, Proenza Schouler </span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>This Prada skirt from the Fall 2003 collection is one of my favorite pieces I have in my wardrobe. It has all of the elements I love: color, print and an interesting shape. The sandals are Prada from the Spring 2003. I've worn these a ton and never tire of them. They were briefly sidelined a couple of years back when one of the stones fell out. Thank goodness I finally remembered to look in a zip lock where I put all of those buttons that come off new garments. My advice is never to throw those things away</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>All, Prada</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I found this Marni fur and down cropped jacket on sale at the store in Soho probably around 2006. I loved it the minute I saw it, but even though I buy some pretty out there pieces, I thought I was a bit more frivolous launching into this one. At that point, I'd never seen anything like it. I always tell people if you really love it, get it. So that's what I did. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jacket, Marni</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I still wear this Miu Miu dress all the time and was so happy when they reissued the print again just a few Springs ago.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>No shoe is too big a statement for me. From left to right. Those are the very first Prada shoes I ever bought. I was so excited. And in between them, sitting atop a beautiful statue of the Tibetan Buddhist goddess Tara, is a bracelet I received from Stephen Dweck as a gift. I adore it and wear it often. Next up are some lip-print sandals from YSL. I loved them but have probably only worn them once or twice because I like really high heels and they feel low to me strangely. The sandals with the pailletes are from a Prada sample sale. The photographs behind them all were a gift from my incredibly talented friend and photographer, Matt Albiani.</span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>L to R.
