Happy Halloween!

Super trendy, stylish, and silly costume ideas inspired by this photo:

1. Hermes orange box
2. Tory Burch flats (add a patent parka, pointy gold hat, and cut a logo out of cardboard)

3. An Olsen twin

4. Boyfriend jeans (just wear your boyfriend's jeans?!)

Perfecting the High Low Mix

I can't decide which outfit I like better, but the version on the right costs A LOT less!

Left: Theory leather jacket ($195) Prada brocade top ($110) The Row leggings ($245) Louboutin gray suede mary jane ($185) Right: Leather Craft jacket ($59) J. Crew metallic top ($39) Saint Grace leggings ($29) Jonathan Kelsey pumps ($68)

The Closet is all about the high low mix. Do you really need that fancy black blazer for hundreds of dollars? I don't think so. You can find an equally fabulous version at The Closet (I've found above 5 over the years) that will work wonderfully. Pair it with some boyfriend jeans (Gap denim will do just fine) and a simple tee or sequin top, add a handbag, preferably Bottega or Chanel (some things are WORTH investing in) and heels of any kind (I'm partial to an eighties inspired pump.) Now you have your own look a la Balmain and money in the bank.

 If you're good you can get away with only spending a little, but looking perfectly put together. There is nothing better than receiving a compliment for an inexpensive item that looks straight off the runway. Here are some more examples:

Fashion is full on Eighties, at the moment, so anything lacy and pink will do the trick this holiday season... Dress ($29) Louis Vuitton skirt ($265)

Put on a printed top! Marni ($165) vs H&M ($12)

There are lots of fun and interesting tweeds, like this pink Lemon jacket ($78) in bright colors and metallics, that scream Chanel ($795) without the $$$ signs.

The Closet's Row collection:

Silk jersey dress,

cream cashmere cardigan, classic gray tee, white stretch blouse


Tan trench, tuxedo, gray alpaca coat (so soft), black jacket

Perfect pencil skirt, leggings, black leather version (sold!)

Too Cool: The Row & Kimberly Ovitz

Classic black 3/4 sleeve jacket (from one of the first collections) and current season Kimberly Ovitz hunter plaid shirt...

Twist of Lime

The basis of this outfit is a lime and cobalt blue Marni skirt. From the left: Tuleh pleated blouse, navy Row tank, MJ bag ($39!) and Kate Spade sandals. It might not seem like the most logical color combination at first, but I kinda love it. A splash of color looks fresh this summer...don't be afraid of a bright shade!

Goodies

Here are some treats: Yamamoto sheer cardigan, Rick Owens gray silk dress, The Row black pocket tank, Rajeshpratap Singh silver sheath, The Row jersey dress, and a Dries van Noten slip dress (just needs a little steam) Enjoy!

Chain Gang

You can't go wrong with black & white. From left: The Row's unconstructed silk jacket, so luxurious (and very small). Then a striped vest from Ann Demeulemeester, the black version atop a cream silk Row tank, and next some of their super skinny stretch cotton leggings (we have two pairs). Mix these together with a pair of ankle boots, a strappy sandal, or even a flat, and you are good to go!

Happy Inauguration Day!

If I had been invited to one of the Inaugural Balls, I would have worn this...Barbara Bui gray silk dress with a perfectly cut evening coat by The Row.

Fall Update

Fall is in full swing at The Closet. We are receiving hundreds of pieces of new inventory every day. Just this morning we put out items by Rick Owens, Dries van Noten, Lucien Pellat-Finet (the best cashmere ever), and The Row.



Please keep in mind if you would like to consign, an appointment is much appreciated as our space is small and we need to regulate how many pieces we take in each day.

Give us a call at 617.536.1919 if you have any questions. Also remember if you plan to ship your things to us, we will donate any items we can't use, so make sure you don't want them back.

Hope to see you soon!
