Closet Visit : Lauren Soloff
Lauren Soloff is a freelance interior designer and granola maker (the best granola I've ever tried!) who lives in Los Angeles.
First of all, I LOVE her hair. The braid makes it even more amazing and not many people can pull this off.
Lauren's closet was like magic. She kept pulling beautiful things from her not-so-big-size-wise closet, and I kept asking her "what is that one over there? How about that sweater? Can I see that,, and that?". If we had more time, we could've kept shooting all day. I also loved how some of her designer clothes and shoes were things she had bought new, kept for long time, and had become "vintage".
Enjoy!
Describe your style
Its a bit of a contradiction, I have been told. There is some punk rock in there coupled with some 70s hippie. I suppose my signature is my hair.
Are there any key pieces you find yourself wearing constantly?
Poncho from Mexico City; my mother's amazing Louis Vuitton bag; all my Balenciaga bags; vintage Calvin Klein jeans; Lanvin dress; Burberry trench coat; Hasbeen clogs from Sweden.
Who are your favorite designers?
Currently I am loving Isabel Marant, Maria Cornejo, Celine.
What was your last purchase for your wardrobe?
Rachel Comey braided clogs were the last purchase. Although, I just recently inherited an amazing Lainey cashmere sweater and cashmere socks from some dear friends.
What are your favorite place to shop?
Creatures of Comfort and New High (M)art
Who are your style icons?
Patti Smith, Julie Christie, Pheobe Philo, Charlotte rampling, Frida Kahlo, Kim Gordon.
Can you give us smart shopping advice?
Do you really need it? Will you really wear it?
Do you have any items you've been eyeing for winter?
Entire Celine collection; a Zero+Maria Cornejo dress; No. 6 clog boots with shearling.
Do you have any fashion guilty pleasures?
Balenciaga bags.
Do you keep your old clothes or do you keep your closet small and organized?
I keep the good stuff. I am pathetically unorganized but somehow I seem to know what I have.
Do you have any stories about amazing deals you've gotten on awesome pieces?
My Lanvin dress. I spotted it at the Barneys Warehouse sale in NYC back in summer of 2005. No price tag. Inside out. Thrown in a ball in the corner. I brought it to the sales person and asked him how much. He said "how much do you want to pay?"
I left with it for $200.
Thank you for reading!

3.1 Phillip Lim summer 2011
Last week I was invited to preview 3.1 Phillip Lim summer 2011 collection. 3.1 is one of my absolute favorite designers so it was an honor and a total blast to get to check it out.
The summer collection was beautiful as usual. I Loved the neutral color palette. I adored the way the silhouettes were cut so unique and interesting but very minimal. Effortless yet chic. I want the navy romper (w/zipper) in the first picture and the necklaces in the second photo. Well,, I want everything. : )
You can see the summer collection in late April in stores. Can we wait that long?
*The model shots are from the 3.1 Phillip Lim lookbook. Thank you Tu!

Closet Visit : Melissa Coker
A few weeks ago I visited lovely Melissa Coker's studio for her wonderful clothing line Wren. This week I went back to shoot her closet! She lives and works in Silver Lake, Los angeles.
Red lips and short skirt with flats (although she wore heels for the shoot) is her signature look for sure and she's not afraid of colors and patterns. The thing I learned from Melissa is you can wear a skirt over a dress and have a whole new look. Super cool! ; )
Melissa has a special connection to her grandmother and had sprinkled little reminders of her throughout her living space -- some purses and jewelry and lovely pictures. I thought it was so sweet and beautiful.
Describe your personal style.
Rosemary Woodhouse meets Margot Tenenbaum
What are your favorite places to shop besides Wren?
Satine, a.p.c., Driftwood, Mohawk General Store, Les Nouvelles
Who are your favorite designers/brands?
Charles Anastase, a.p.c., Chanel, Isabel Marant, Wren
(the dress is Wren 2011. LOVE!)
Are there any key pieces you find yourself wearing constantly?
I wear a black full mini skirt from my line so much I have to force myself to wear other things. I love brightly colored cardigans and wear a different one nearly every day. A rainbow of cardigans live in my closet.
Who are your style icons?
Mia Farrow, Goldie Hawn, Julie Christie, my grandmother
What trends do you predict for 2011?
Longer lengths, colored animal prints, special shirt dressing, rose & blush colors, layering of heavy bangles.
(Purses from Melissa's grandmother)
Do you have any stories about amazing deals you've gotten on awesome pieces?
I once found a load of Dries Van Noten at a garage sale.
Can you give us smart shopping advice?
Great versions of trendy items can be found at the cheapy retailers of the world. I recently bought a silk button down at Club Monaco -- it is perfectly what I was looking for & half the price of the one I'd been wanting from Barneys.
What is your most recent purchase?
Printed Chanel heels I found at Decades
What's something you wouldn't be caught dead wearing?
Strong shoulders. Are people still doing that?
Do you have any fashion guilty pleasures?
Mmmm.Whowhatwear is sort of a guilty pleasure. I read it every day.
What's your typical day like?
Wake up at 7...Spend some time cuddling with Pepper before getting out of bed...gym or hike.....workworkwork til 8ish...Netflix instant...zzzzzzzzzz
Thanks for reading.

*Happy Thanksgiving. I'm flying to Chicago for a family time. See you soon!
