Tips and tricks to an amazing closet!

I hope 2013 has started off amazing for you! If not, it is only early days and there is plenty of time to turn this year around and make it one to remember. New years for me often bring a time for change and that can only mean one thing....time for a closet revamp!

Here are our tips and tricks to making your closet look perfect!

1. The number one rule we insist you must stick by is ensuring your hangers are all the same colour/style. Even if your clothes are disorganised as long as your hangers are all the same colour it instantly makes your closet uniform, presentable and more put together. They don't have to be all wooden or something pricey. I use all black plastic hangers and theyre the perfect cheaper alternative!
2. Sort your clothes into sections. I sort mine into tops, pants, dresses, skirts & shorts and jackets. This makes it easier to split my closet up into season appropriate sections. You don't have to necessarily follow those groups but try splitting them into something like the above that works for you.
3. Once you split your clothes into groups colour coordinate! This takes your wardrobe from drab to FAB!
4. Organise your shoes together. If you don't have shelving for your shoes invest in some plastic boxes and store them inside or line them along the floor of your closet. You can find great clear shoe boxes at www.pinklily.com.au
5. Organise your handbags together. If you have a top shelf this is where we suggest to line them up against so they're easy to see and access. Alternatively store them in easy to access boxes create more space.
6. Fold any cotton tops, leggings, workout outfits, underwear and swimsuits and store these in drawers or on shelves.

So theres our tips and tricks!

Happy organising!

Does she ever get it wrong...?

Looks; She's Got

Money; She's Got

Power; She's Got 

Fame; She's got

Husband; She's Got

MOST ADORABLE CHILD IN THE WORLD; She's definitely Got

and finally 

Style; which just comes naturally to her... well at least thats what we think! It has occurred to us that this girl can never, ever get anything wrong, especially her outfits. No matter what occasion, what season, even when she's wearing nothing but a bikini, it's a pretty amazing bikini she's got on and she is rocking it with style!

We love her, everything about her and yes you could say we have some sort of MASSIVE girl crush on her but who wouldn't? Have you not seen her.... Oh and also a huge crush on her wardrobe... we wouldn't mind borrowing (maybe even stealing) her clothes, actually her whole wardrobe would be great!

Here are some of the reasons as to why her wardrobe makes us fall in love with her even more then we did in the beginning! And yes... it does help that whatever she throws on just sits so fabulously on her, and sometimes we think a person can never have it all; well, let's just say we were very wrong...

*sigh*

Cold weather fix!

Here at Marada HQ we've been rugging up in knits and jackets next to a heater trying to warm ourselves up with a hot chocolate (or two!). We know how cold it is getting! Especially in Sydney and the rain doesnt help too much either. We've done out research for you and bringing to you the best and mor stylish ways to rug up for winter!




A cute cardigan:

Such as this Trapeze Cardigan from Sportsgirl ($59.95). Best way to layer. Wear with tights of jeans and boots. Layer the top with a long sleeve basic and scarves to hide the layers underneath. Easy way to be cute and warm!


Boots!:

The easiest way to keep your feet warm during those freezing days and nights are with a pair of boots because you can wear as many pairs of socks as you desire and no one can tell a thing. People dont often realise but boots are simple to take from day to night. Pair them with jeans and a knit for the day of stockings and tight skirt and cute top and blazer for those cold nights out on the town. The ones above are Tony Bianco Pelhams for $249.95 which you can purchase online.


Scarves:

Here at HOM we are obsessed with scarves and wear them all year round. They add to any simple outfit and create that extra warmth that we all desire. During winter we prefer the big chunky kind in multiple colours to mix and match with our outfits. We love the one featured above for just $29.95 from Dotti!


Coats:

Every girl should invest in one coat. We invested in ours three years ago and it still looks as good as new! They're great to throw over anything and when you escape in the warmth take it off to reveal your desired outfit. The one about is on sale on ASOS at the moment for $76.52  and is the ideal bargain piece this winter. Did we mention.... we love the colour? Way to make yourself pop and stand out. Don't want to take that risk? Opt for black as it goes with everything.

What is your favourite thing to wear in the winter time?
