Closet Chic: Cindy

As if the clever Blog title wasn't enough to get your attention, Cindy of Come Over to the Dark Side, We have Candy is known for her effortless rock-chic style. Yes, she does love her Black, Grey, White, and more Black outfits! Cindy is incredibly creative with her ensembles and continues to inspire readers around the world to take a chance on the "dark side". Here's a closer look into her closet:





The Interview...

Name, Age, Location
Cindy, 25 years old from the Netherlands.

CFON: How would you describe the style/theme of your closet?
Cindy: I wanted to create a room where I could feel like I was shopping in my own little store every day. Me and my bf both wanted to have or own space so we've created a female / male part. Mine on one wall, his on the other. It doesn't have a theme or anything because we haven't really accessorize it yet.

CFON: What's your Favorite item from your closet and why?
Cindy: My favorite item or part from my closet is the painting my grandpa made for me. The original is actually 4000 euros and it was too pricy for me since I had just decorated my entire first house so I've asked my 80 year old grandpa if he could do a copy of it because I really loved the vibe of the painting. And this one is now so much more valuable to me and I will always treasure it since painting is the world to my grandpa and he to me! :)

CFON: How do you keep your closet organized and what do you do with clothes that you no longer wear?
Cindy: By keeping it tidy, I go crazy if I can't find something that I want to wear. So I try to tidy it up after every I.don't.know.what.to.wear-war. I also hang my clothing by colour or more black by black, grey by grey & white by white haha. The clothes that I no longer wear I put for sale on eBay or just give them to charity. I don't have clothes in my closet that I don't wear, first I store them in boxes and dump them in another room and if I don't miss the items that are in that box I give them away.

CFON: Do you have any advice to those looking to build a dream closet?
Cindy: You can easily create a walk in closet for yourself. If you have the space just visit a DIY home store or a IKEA and see what your options are. Most people think that it costs a fortune to have a walk in closet but that's really not true! Just be creative! :)

CFON: Any tips on storing belts, scarves, and accessories?
Cindy: I store my belts, scarves and accessories in old UGG boots boxes haha! So maybe someone could better give me some advice instead of me giving it.

CFON: Why do you think many women often feel like they have a "closet full of nothing"?
Cindy:I don't even know why I feel like that. I do know that everyone thinks I'm crazy for feeling that way!

The Soft Edge

Eryn Brinie draped vest, Talula long-sleeve tee, Current Elliott jeans, Asos/Club Monaco/Tiffany & Co rings, Aldo Necklace, Bakers boots

Finally, a real outfit post!  My style has never been particularly "edgy" as I tend to stick with classic shapes and feminine silhouette. But I loved this vest so much that I had it make it my own. It's highly versatile and has a Rick Owens vibe to it.  Although I wore it semi-zipped, it can also be worn buttoned-up for a sophisticated cowl neck or wide-open for a relaxed casual look. All 3 are perfect for a day in the city :)

P.S. How fantastic is this mural showing the historical charm of Vancouver's Granville Street!






This past weekend, I went to the Smooth Co. label launch at Holt Renfrew and met Justin Bobby. Here's one for all you Hills fans!

Closet Chic: Emilie

After blogging for nearly a year now, I've noticed fashion bloggers have some of the most amazing closets I've ever seen. Figures! I've been inspired by the organization of many and not to mention incredibly curious to see their closet in more detail. What better way than featuring these fashionistas and their closets so we can all have a chance to dive in to their sea of clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories.

Without further ado, meet Emilie of My Little Fashion Diary. Hailing all the way from Luxembourg, this fashionista has a closet celebrities would envy. You know Emilie has a lot of goodies to need a ladder in her large walk-in closet. From her handbag wall to the shoe wall, I've spotted some seriously fabulous items in equally fab names... Manolo, Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga, to name a few! Enjoy your visit in Emilie's closet:






The Interview...

CFON: Name, Age, Location?
Emilie, 27 years old, Luxembourg

CFON: How would you describe the style/theme of your closet?
Emilie: Chic! My closet is all black, organized, with a place for my clothes, a place for my shoes and for my bags!

CFON: How do you keep your closet organized and what do you do with clothes that you no longer wear?
Emilie: A place for everything and everything in its place! That's the secret of an organized closet!  I really take care of my clothes, and when I no longer want them I give my clothes to charities.

CFON: Any tips on storing belts, scarves, and accessories?
Emilie: Don't ask me! I store my belts and my scarves in shoe boxes!

CFON: Do you have any advice to those looking to build a dream closet?
Emilie: First, remove all the clothes from your closet! Determine which items you are going to keep, categorize them and arrange them by the same color, it's easier and it looks great.

CFON: Why do you think many women often feel like they have a "closet full of nothing"?
Emilie: We all buy clothes all the time and we think we never have anything to wear! There are days when I hate my clothes and think I have nothing in my closet! But it's not true!  And after all, we don't need to have so many things, we don't have to dress with something different every single day, we have to know what we love, what suits us, and reworking it in different ways!

Hello New York!

Zara trench and heels, UO scarf, F21 tights

I wish! It's more like a little piece of NYC in Vancouver. I walked by a set filming the TV show Fringe last week where a block of Vancouver's Granville Street was transformed into the streets of New York City accompanied by a horrific crash scene. From the fake newsstand to the subway station that goes nowhere, it was almost believable. It seems like I run into a film set every couple of weeks... I guess we do live in Hollywood North, after all.
