Happy Friday and the Helloooooo October!

Fall is just a few weeks old. In many parts of the country, cooler weather has arrived. Sad to say that here in LA, it’s going to be 98 degrees today and I’m selecting a sundress to wear today.  Soooo much for Fall weather!?! Right. But I remain optimistic and look forward to the arrival of  cooler days ahead because  the calendar does say it’s FALL after all!

Bearing in mind that we ‘re transitioning seasons from Summer to Fall, it’s also the time of year that we should be thinking about transitioning our closets. I refer to this closet “transition task” as

The Fall Flip.  

I ‘m well aware that today is Friday, and flipping your closet  from one season to the next, is probably not a high priority for the weekend. But, what I am here to do, is help you ease  into the “thought” of starting to closet flip after the weekend is over. Think “baby steps” and start with the following categories listed below. I will circle back next week to give you a few more tips to flip. In the meantime, I gently suggest that you start considering aka “thinking” about sorting and storing your Summer Staples by category.

Here are my top 3 easy and simple suggestions (by category).

1. It’s time to Boot UP!  Flip your shoe selections from Summer Sandals/Flip Flops and Espadrilles to Boots/booties and cold weather footwear.

2. Sweater weather is upon us! Change out your tank tops/ t-shirts/shorts/capris  and swimwear for  all your beautiful sweaters. Fold accordingly and put  Summer items in storage.

Time to pack up and Store: Summer t-shirts, tops and knitwear

3. Have the right Handbag: The Fall Handbag Flip...Change out  and store  your Straw Totes & Bright Colored Bags to Fall & Winter  Satchels, Handbags, and  special occasion clutches.

Winter Bags & Boots and evening clutches!

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Tuesday’s Tip is all about Wallpaper. It wasn’t that long ago, that  wallpaper seemed sooooo passe. BUT, I am here to say, that a POP of wallpaper can add some major style to any space. I have a major penchant for adding wallpaper in strategic spots  in your home. The closet is one of my favorite spaces to use a splash of wallpaper to add interest and texture. You can also use wallpaper to make a small space pop… like a minimal Entrance hall or  line your dresser drawers with leftover scraps. Take a peak and get inspired by these wallpapered wonders.

The weekend is just about here. In case you’re in need  of a little nudge to get things more organized in your closet, I offer today’s post on Closet Close Ups.  At the very least, I hope these images inspire you to get everything  laying on  your closet floor-picked up and  back onto hangers and into their proper places.Sprucing up a space(especially your closet) is not only cleansing to your space and your well being but it’s like a mini detox without the hunger pains).

Have a great weekend….go forth and Cleanse  your Closet!

40 Days …40 items

Join me in a Spiritual “Closet Cleanse” Challenge

March 6, 2019 marks the first day of Lent. I invite you to join me in a “Spiritual Closet Cleanse Challenge” and remove one item  from your closet for the next 40 days  that you no longer wear/need or lacks bringing you  JOY (thanks Marie Kondo) and put it into a trash bag. At the end of the 40 days, share aka (donate) your bag of 40 items to someone who can use them.

(Suggested organizations: Dress for Success/Discovery Shops)

Even if you don’t observe Lent consider participating and taking those first steps in cleaning out your closet and at the same time help others in need 

Your basic Win-Win!

The Final Reveal

Summer. The perfect time of year to do a cleanse. I’m not suggesting starving yourself  or going on some sort of hunger strike but instead suggest you go easy on yourself and embrace the thought of a Closet Cleanse. Yep, you heard me-a closet cleanse as in getting rid of all those “things” stored in your closet that you probably haven’t worn for over a year or 2.

Now,if this task seems too overwhelming for you to do alone… never fear-it just so happens that I’m offering a Summer Special on this very service. My Closet Cleanse Special is on until July 30, 2018.

Email me at terri@territurco.com to book your appointment.

You can tell allot from  peering into the confines of someone’s closet. Is the person organized to the point of possibly being OCD or are they sloppy. Is there a color coding system happening from light to dark or are items arranged by category.  Are they a collector of shoes (Hello Carrie Bradshaw) belts, scarves or house oodles of handbags.

Case in point 2 total opposites when it comes to closets-Lisa Vanderpump  and Mark Zukerberg. Lovely Lisa with a bevy of beautiful baubles, handbags couture clothing and options galore housed in a space that could probably serve dinner for 12.  At the opposite end of the spectrum is Mark Zukerberg- who’s total clothing inventory could probably fit inside a Fed Ex Priority flat rate box keeping things extremely streamlined. Can we just guess that Mark probably dresses in 5 seconds flat while Lisa lingers over her many beautiful options and emerges picture perfect.
