A Peek Inside

Closet shots in magazines always look so glamorous...I suppose it is because the wardrobes they choose are gigantic, well-lit, and hyper organized by an army of small minions. My closet is about as neat right now as it will be the entire semester and I suspect the floor of it will soon be littered with random items...
Outfit details: jacket- H&M, dress- Urban Outfitters, vest- gift, tights- gift, shoes- H&M, backpack- some shop in Japan
Lucia wanted to know what my "blog space" looks like. Well, when my computer is cooperating and I don't have to go to a computer lab to get online, I tend to blog from bed. I have a desk which I use when writing papers or doing homework, but when I'm just kicking back and browsing the web I pick up my laptop and hop into bed.
Remember when I began this doodle on my laptop and finished it?

How do you get the unbelievable pictures that are taken of yourself, are you using a tripod, whats your secret?

Tahda said...

those gold tights are great and your closet is so tidy. I'm in the middle of moving so this is giving me inspiration to get organized!

miss vintage love said...

Cute closet! You are so organized!

Hadley said...

I Love your computer!
And I wish that my closet was as organized as yours...it's mainly my shoes that wreak havoc, I think.

copperoranges said...

dell never looked so pretty!

Charlotte said...

That is a tidy closet! You should take a look at mine, I nver manage to organise it!

Wanderlusting said...

Awesome Computer! Seriously, sell those!

PS Where are the rest of your clothes - I KNOW you have more than what was shown :P

ashe mischief said...

Aww, these pictures kind of make me miss living in the dorms! Somehow my closet then was in such better shape than it is now...

Eri said...

How cool! I love the print on the green dress as well

Twobreadsplease said...

I am so very very jealous of your backpack, I've been looking for a good one for aaaaages.

Lauren said...

That UO dress is so pretty! I love the color.

Helen said...

Ahh it makes me want to organise my wardrobe now too! i really need an area to keep all my shoes.

Anonymous said...

love the plaid dress and the H&M jacket! so jealous. your camera is amazing. what kind is it?

lopi said...

This is a perfectly sized wardrobe, as you can find everything instantly. I wish I will be able to "curate" mine when I move next month. So much stuff I have to get rid of... It's always so much better when you open your closet doors to stuff you absolutely love, and nothing else. Makes my day!

sammi-lise ^_^ said...

i love those gold tights :)
and man, is your laptop amazingly...amazing, or what?
i love that doodle...it is so pretty

<3 lise

Emz said...

Wow how do you take photos of yourself? They're really great angles but I love your shoe collection haha if I could only possess that many heels!!

Tina said...

your lovely wardrobe is so neat! i can see lots of gorgeous jackets! and also that doodle( art to me!) on your laptop? wow, i would so pay to get it done to mine!

AsianCajuns said...

Your closet is incredibly neat! I'm so impressed. And I looove the doodle. I can't believe you did that free-hand- it's gorgeous!

corrie said...

That *is* organized! Neat closets probably make it easier to get dressed, no?

Mine is a disaster area/cat haven. I think it will take a change of apartment to remedy the situation.

And is this your dorm room? If so, you're lucky you don't have bunk beds!

Kay said...

Your backpack is loovely.
Nice laptop customizing as well (:

HEK said...

You have a great wrdrobe, You must have, cause you always look real cute on your pics. And also you are smart when you combine stuff.

It's Oslo Fashion Week going on here, I'm posting daily updates if you want to see what Norwegian designers are up to:)

Hurray for your beautiful laptop and... if you saw my closet you would die. Seriously... it's horrible, cluttered... urgh.

Brittany Noel said...

I usually internet (yup, it's a verb starting now) on my couch. Though, I happen to be in my bed tonight. Boyf has taken the couch and used it for a nap. It's comfy in here. Love the outfit. And I totally envy your organized closet!

Becca Jane said...

I love the urban outfitters dress, and also the plaid one.

I am also so impressed by your amazing work (or doodle) it looks so great!

The print on your UO dress is so pretty! I like it paired with the vest.

Your signature doodle is very pleasing to the eye. I noticed it on Nasha, too! :)

Emily said...

Oh, and India would be an absolutely amazing place to visit! The juxtaposition of everything that comprises the country... wow.

Amelia said...

I wish my closet could ever be that clean. Your shoe collection looks amazing and I love the dress in the first pictures.

runway2hallway said...

if only my closet could be so organized... btw love the plaid dress, where did you get it?

EternalJade said...

Your pictures are always so awesome. They are so magazine-ready. I love your jacket (and practically everything about your blog)! :)

The Clothes Horse said...

@Anonymous 10:47am, Yes, I use a tripod and self-timer for my pictures. I'm really not comfortable in front of other people.
@Anonymous 1:40pm, my camera is a Canon Rebel xs--it was my Christmas present, prior to that I used a Canon Powershot SD 1000.
@Anonymous 3:12pm, the bag is from a shop in Japan. I studied there about 2 years ago now and I don't remember the shop where it's from.

clareassiral said...

extremely organised! mines a total mess. love the colors in your wardrobe

Ziling said...

I love your bag, your wardrobe, your gold tights, your dress, your customized laptop and YOU! Haha i love your blog xx

UberOriginal said...

I love what you did to your laptop! So unique, and the closet snaps are tre cute. xx

Miss_Red said...

I love the first pic! It's such an interesting shot. I always love how magazine wardrobes are so perfect - mine is like a war zone :(

SO. said...

i feel like i saw you in a fashion book at urban outfitters.. i think the book was called what i wear everyday? hopefully that was you...

StrikeMatch said...

I love the shoe hangy thing. That's neater than I've ever seen a closet look. At the moment, mine is two falling down railings.

Paloma said...

Wardrobes on magazines are all fake. Most of time they're not even the persons's wardrobe and many clothes are brought by stylists just for the pic. At least that's the Spanish way ;) Actually everything in magazines is a lie.
I love your shinny yellow tights!

Andrea said...

I'm so impressed with your organizational skills! Remember Carrie's closet on the "Sex and the City" movie? I almost died when I saw it, seriously.

Manja said...

I love your outfit! Great combo!
My closet is embarassingly unorganized. I try to organize it regularly but two days later it is just a big mess again...I really REALLY need a walk - in closet when I own my own place.

Denise L said...

OMG! i miss college days!

that doodle is so cute. i wish i can do that too.

Parapluie said...

Love it! Do you use a tripod? How do you get your pictures to look so wonderful? :)

She said said...

Your wardrobe is SO tidy! I gave up on one all together and now just have rails with bags, gloves and wigs hanging off the side and shoes thrown (hidden) underneath... it is a total nightmar. My dream is to one day have a wardrobe as big as my room :-)

I am really liking that backpack though... I really want to find myself one like that.

Maria said...

Love the jacket (though the colour isn't one of my favourites at all) and the laptop is gorgeous! *

Lo said...

I really need a backpack. I like yours.

thedrifterandthegypsy said...

xoxo,
Micaela

I used to have my laptop in my bed all the time, but it was getting bad so I just move it from my desk when I really need.

Nicole Anne said...

You post so often that i'm always late on my comments :) Anyway you have a really nice closet.. And your doodle is awesome! At the beginning I thought it was the design of the laptop :)

Nadine said...

I love to have a look in your closet. Thank you for sharing. It looks really well organized.

Diane said...

Your closet is so neat and tidy - I wish I could keep mine so clean! I like how you have so many shoes, you even use the closet cubby hole thingamajig for them. That's a good idea, one that I may have to implement in my own closet!

Rike said...

Wow! You have so many shoes! Haha. I dream of having so much, because I never find perfect fitting ones.

And the doodle on your laptop is great!

iƱaki said...

God! I haven't been here in so long your hair has grown!
