Club Monaco Will Finally Launch E-Commerce This Week

YES! This is huge. "Finally" is an understatement. Currently, the only place to buy Club Monaco merchandise is either in the stores or on Shopbop. And while Shopbop does an excellent job of curating the collection and choosing the most sellable pieces, I have a completion problem and I want to know everything they have to offer. Browsing the selection on Shopbop I always felt I was missing the really good stuff. 

I used to write term papers in college on the internet's role in fashion and whether click-and-mortar would beat out bricks-and-mortar over the long haul. I still believe that stores will be a necessity for many reasons, not the least of which is branding, but with the recent launch of Zara US e-commerce and now Club Monaco, fashion is finally beginning to catch on to the limitless possibilities of an online presence.

Plus, I'm convinced they did this for my birthday. Thank you Club Monaco. I'm touched.

Home porn...

I've been obsessed with this "closet" for awhile now for several reasons but mainly because it appears to occupy an entire room. Previously seen here...

Other things I find fascinating;

1. The changing furniture. I suppose when your closet occupies an entire room you do have the opportunity to switch up the furnishings from time to time. I think the seating in the center is the best way to go.

2. The shoe storage. It never grows or shrinks and I have the same problem. I'm finding it impossible to minimize the space my shoe closet takes from a room. There's just no way to squish them. They don't squish! This is not a sweater we're talking about. I can't stick them in a space-bag and call it a day. Therefore my excessive shoe storage is not my fault.

3. This is another example of light walls with dark wood floors and the rug on a rug concept which I've been a big believer in for a long time.
