Vacation without the Kids

By Shirin Yadegar
karenlazarpicI traveled back in time to Vienna when Mozart composed his most popular music and listened to my cousin, Richard Danielpour’s brilliant compositions resonate throughout the Vienna Chamber Orchestra. Sipping Viennese coffee in the cafe where Hitler frequented was surreal.

Tips on Organizing Your Closet

Beverly Hills stylist Karen Lazar shares her tips on how to organize your closet so you can shop more effectively.

karenlazarpicQ: My closet is a mess. Where do I start?
A: I always start with a rolling rack and start pulling out the pieces I haven’t worn in a long time. I then try the pieces on one by one and decide if it fits. If it doesn’t fit I put it in a pile to give away, alter or sell if it’s a designer label that is worth selling. I then take out the pieces I know I wear and organize by category such as blouses, pants, skirts, tops and jackets. I put them back in the closet by category from light to dark or light weight to heavier weight.I put pants from narrow to wide within the color so I know if I’m in a hurry I can grab the right pant with the right shoe height.
