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!

The Colour of 2013

Hello Beauties!

We would just like to wish you a very Happy and Joyous New Year! We know we're a little bit late but time has gotten to the best of us and we've both been busy getting away and relaxing for a little, but one half of us is back and the other half should be back super soon! 

Moving on; we just wanted to share with you beautiful people the colour that is going to be taking over 2013, and that colour is.... drum rolllllll.... EMERALD!

When we first heard this we were NOT surprised. After Kim K's emerald green wrap dress from the Gucci fall 2012 collection, we just knew that colour was going to take over the fashion world very soon.

And we personally love it! It's different, has a little bit of class to it and we are excited for what else this new year has to bring in the fashion department!

Love Always, HOM

Points

Well, you could definitely say we have a huge obsession with shoes! Not as bad as Carrie Bradshaw, but when we're 35 and living in an apartment in NYC, we're hoping that our shoe collection will be just as luxurious, but for now we can keep dreaming and collecting...

And because we love shoes so much we wanted to share with you our current shoe obsession, which is Pointed Heels.

They are just so beautiful and classy that you can never go wrong with them, well thats what we think! If you've ever had issues with making pointed heels work then we would love to hear from you, but for now we are going to stick to that statement because they are sensational!

No words can even describe their beauty. Therefore we'll just let you admire their beauty with us.. Drooling is accepted!

TIP; The best thing about them is that you can take the most casual outfit you have and simply pair it with some pointed heels and you will look so much classier and chic! Try it... You've got nothing to loose and a new pair of beautiful heels in your closet is never a bad thing!

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...

little lovely lace

Hello Pretty People!

A trend around and about in fashion is lace accents. Whether it be a whole lace dress or a simple accent on a pair of shorts, it seems everyone wants a little piece of lace incorporated into their wardrobe. We're not sure whether it's the way it makes everything appear feminine and elegant or the way it gives a simplistic outfit that little pop of style that makes it so desirable. Although, we are sure that we sure as hell want a whole lot of it in our lives. It is definitely the 'it' fabric at the moment and something that you must give a try!

Here are some of our favourite lace celebrity looks:

But how on earth do you wear it at home without a team behind you ensuring you don't look like your grandmas doily? Well we had a little fun on polyvore and created a little collage of affordable lace pieces that you can incorporate into your every day wear. Outfit details are all below with links to purchase pages of these adorable pieces!

Lipsy backless bodycon dress, $96 / Bardot crop top, $52 / Miss Selfridge / Alice In The Eve lace shorts, $83 / Lace romper / One Teaspoon lace shorts / White lace boots / Forever New neon clutch purse, $31 / Stella & Dot stella dot jewelry


Enjoy! xx

Louise Roe Style Obsession;

A little fact for all you Australian girls out there:

Did you know that standard clothing sizes in Australia were scrapped in 2008, which basically means retailers can cut their patterns and designs however they like. That is kind of confusing to us and a bit annoying because how will we ever know what size we actually are! Although that also answers a lot of our unanswered questions on why every piece of clothing we get varies anywhere from a size 6 to a size 12... Confusing? We think YES!

On another note, when we see someone whose style is absolutely amaze-balls we just have to share them with you guys! Someone whose style we have fallen head over heels in love with is Louise Roe, who is currently the host of MTV's Plain Jane.

Just looking at her outfits on every episode has us drooling and admiring her style, and so we wanted to share with you exactly why we love her style so much....

We love the fact that she can take anything so simple and make it look super fashionable, which not a lot of people can do! So we applaud her for that!

We also love the fact that she adds jackets and blazers to a lot of her outfits, because we love jackets and blazers! We have to confess that our wardrobes are filled with more jackets and blazers then anything else so we can definitely relate with her love for them!

TIP; If you ever take a casual outfit and want to make it look more stylish and classy, and simply take it from a day time look to a night time look, then simply add a brightly coloured blazer or jacket. It adds that little something to your outfit taking it from plain jane to chic and sexy fashionista!

Our Nail Polish Timeline

So like most girls out there... We love fashion & beauty and everything that comes with it. And one thing we love about the beauty section is the part where you get to make your nails all pretty and luxurious, something guys do not have the pleasure of doing (Yeah boys, we feel sorry for you!) and we take our nails pretty seriously!

We believe that nail polish adds so much to a look and makes every girl feel girly and beautiful! And when you get bored and feel like change, just switch up the colours, its that easy and so much fun when you can make it a girls day to go and get mani pedi's! Love! And switching our nail polish colours is something that we do every few days because we get bored super easily!

As time has gone by we have learnt that we absolutely cannot live without our nail polish and our collection is just growing and growing! So we wanted to share with you guys our favourite nail polish moments and colours!

We are also sorting out our nail polish colours and storage so when we've finished that we will definitely be showing you guys how we've displayed it all... We cannot wait till it's all done!

Love HOM xx
