Style Star – Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler, gorgeous model-like, mother-of-two / famed interior designer and reality TV show judge is one of my favorite style icons.

Her interior designs are stunning (some of my favs include her work at the Santa Monica Viceroy hotel, Maison 140 hotel and BG at Bergdorf Goodman) and in my fantasy world, my entire home would be decorated with her help.

It’s no wonder that I’m a collector of her coffee table books.  She’s got endless style.  And I can’t get enough of her designs.


Since I’m interested in celebrity closets, I of course, had to do a little research on Kelly’s closet.  It’s as enviable as I imagined.  Just take a look.

Style Diary: Convertible dresses

I love making wardrobe pieces do double-duty.  One dress can for example be worn with a cardigan, tights and boots for winter, alone with strappy sandals for summer, and tucked under a skirt shown as a blouse.  I’m really into to the tuck conversion right now.  Here are a couple examples.

This calico printed ruffle dress (found at TJMaxx for only $19.99) is worn as 2 very different outfits below. First, the dress is tucked under a ruffled skirt and next it is worn outside the skirt with the skirt ruffles peeking out from underneath. Of course this only works with thin fabrics in order not to appear too bulky.

I love getting new ideas from others so how do you suggest I wear the skirt and/or dress next? How would you style these pieces?

Below, see how Joey Brooke and I took the same heart-printed dress from Forever 21 (about $20) and wore them completely differently.
