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: Vintage Style

Lately, I’ve been inspired by vintage looks.  I love the femininity of the 50’s and the uniqueness of scoring that special something that you know not everyone will have or easily recognize.  The key is to mix vintage pieces with modern trends and classic staples from your closet.  You don’t want to look like you just appeared out of a time machine.

My mom’s closet is the best to raid.  Here are some looks that I’ve created simply by stealing a few key pieces. Below, I took her Maggy London dress, re-hemmed it, added a vintage stretch belt and wore it with BCBG suede stilettos that I bought on sale for $45, tights that I found at the dollar store, beaded necklace from my collection and my treasured Chanel purse. Here I’m wearing mom’s vintage bow blouse with her vintage skirt (re-hemmed), Bruno Magli black boots, a H&M cardigan and Forever 21 clutch.

My mom’s tinier than me but somehow I managed to fit into her vintage bow belt shown below.  headband and shoes from Forever 21, skirt from Tahari

Below are some additional vintage-inspired looks worn by fellow fashion bloggers.  Maybe they’ll inspire you too!
