Pinterest, the definitive image-bookmarking site and every blogger’s failsafe tool; I’ve talked about it and I’ve used it and it never gets old. I’ve been gathering up the inspiration (“pinspiration”, if you will) for a while now on a bevy of diverse themes, from book covers to fashion favorites, and I finally decided to make my pinning habit work for me. You know those girls that dream of having a closet the likes of which would make Carrie Bradshaw squeal with delight? And it’s not just about the designer-driven wardrobe, mind you – I’m talking an oasis of a closet, if not in space (let’s face it, not all of us can make that picture up there a reality) but in the overall experience of a place that inspires our ceaselessly creative inner-fashionista and appeals to the eye through blissful organization. It’s not a bad dream. Are there bigger, more important things in life? Well, yeah, obviously. But a little luxury never hurt anyone, and if you can make it work for you, in your space and in your budget, then why not? Living in a temporary space hasn’t afforded me the singular, rather important element of actually having a closet to transform into a place that inspires my ceaselessly creative inner-fashionista and appeals to my eye through blissful organization, but…I’m pinning in the meantime, and as a result I’ve garnered a pretty impressive arsenal of snazzy design ideas. Check it out.

Transform a basic walk-in into a decorated dressing space with the simplest details. I love these black-and-whites of Jackie O. hanging in that fraction of free space. I have a collection of photos of some of my favorite classic icons, and this is just the perfect way to use a few of them.

Two things I love about this absolutely fabulous space. The hangers – which, I’ll grant, aren’t always friendly to the budget – provoke a wonderful aesthetic with their symmetry. They keep everything at the same height, which just shrieks of organization (and the blissful kind, no less!). The other thing I love is the use of a dresser in the closet. I’m sure I’ll never likely have a space this big, but I do have a similar dresser (via Ikea) that would help me pull off this look if the space ever does present itself. Standing an oversize mirror up is a great idea, too.

We may not all have a collection of Hermès boxes like this to help us stay organized, but…I don’t really care, it’s still incredibly nice to look at. And who says they have to be Hermès, anyway? (Remember Lesson #1 from Tom Ford: it’s not about who, it’s about you.) And I, for one, am all about the color-coordination going on here. Storing your precious accessories in matching boxes from a craft store can be done quicker than you can say Birkin bag.

Fabulous Kelly Framel has a closet organization staple that’s actually already in my possession: the hanging jewelry organizer. No big deal, you can pick one up from Target, but the result is marvelously effective. I also love Kelly’s use of the other perfect hanger, the thin black space-saver (Real Simple has their own line of them; sold!). These ditties are likely more suitable for my closet realities, but they’re no less glam.

So, you buy a fancy shmancy and ridiculously expensive item from a high-end luxury designer/design house. What else would you do but frame the shopping bag and hang it in your closet? Really, this is one of my favorite discoveries in my dream-closet pinning escapades, and while it’s not exactly conducive to the whole “blissfully-organized” affair it does coincide with the element of inspiring that ceaselessly creative inner-fashionista; and honestly, what a fun way to commemorate a favorite purchase. Win-win.
