The Coveteur :: Mary Alice Stephenson

Not only does she have an amazing closet and wardrobe, but she is drop-dead gorgeous, successful and a philanthropist! Every woman should be so well-rounded.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I had closet factory come in and work with me to create my dream closets. I no longer have to worry about keeping things organized because my closets were customized around my wardrobe. Jewelry, bag and shoe collections, as well as my life. It has made my life so much easier in so many ways. Now I want to have Closet Factory do every closet in my home.

I bought the Stephen Sprouse x Louis Vuitton embellished travel bag in Paris at the Champs Elysée Vuitton store. I was there to see the collections, and I remember popping in and buying it between shows. They were very hard to get because so few were done, when I saw it I got goose bumps. So that's when I knew I had to buy it! </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Bag, Louis Vuitton</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I love clothes that have personality and make big statements. That means there are lots of sequins, beads, feathers and shiny things in my wardrobe! In my house, there's always a party going on in my closet! </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jacket and Dress, Naeem Khan</span>#inline_02

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The legendary photographer Terry O'Neil gave me this picture of Bridget Bardot after we worked together on a project. It is sexy, raw, and perfect for my dressing room. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Jewelry, Various Designers</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Metallic clutches are a red carpet go-to for me. I love how they add glam to any look. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Bag, Various Designers</span>#inline_11

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>I could not resist this Alaïa iPad case. I'm a huge fan of everything Mr. Alaia does!

I always have a stash of Sally Hansen nail polish in my closet. My favourite colours this year were created by Alexander Wang and Prabal Gurung. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>iPad Case, Alaïa; Necklace, Ranjana Khan; Silver Bracelets, Erickson Beamon; Bracelet with Stone, Glynneth B</span>#inline_13

I melt over perfectly styles vignettes such as the one above.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Earrings are an instant outfit game changers. I love the drama they bring to my classics and tend to buy decadent chandelier earrings everywhere I go!

Here's a little secret...when I'm exhausted and feeling the opposite of pretty, I pop on a pair so no one will look at my face. They just see all that pretty on my ears. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Earrings, Various Designersa</span>#inline_04
