"How many times have you checked out another girl&amp;#39;s outfit and then mentally &amp;quot;pinned&amp;quot; everything she has on? Guilty as charged! So, instead of standing idly by making mental Pinterest boards, I decided to ask some of women I find irresistibly chic to give me a peek into their closets.\nIn this latest installment of Chic Peek, I&amp;#39;m excited to introduce you to Le Catch&amp;#39;s Marlien Rentmeester, who defines great taste. A former fashion editor (most recently at Lucky), Marlien has become famous among the fashion crowd for her penchant for mixing luxury designers with High Street discoveries. Meet Marlien...\nPinterestFacebookMarlien started shopping website Le Catch in October 2011, and every day she &amp;quot;scours the Web to find and feature at least one amazing item that&amp;#39;s so good, it would be crazy NOT to buy it.&amp;quot; And after just 10 months, the site became one of rewardStyle&amp;#39;s top 10 fashion blogs for sales generated online. When I asked her what qualifies as a catch for the site, she tells me, &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s both a $25 necklace that looks like it cost $300 and a $300 pair of shoes that is worth every penny!&amp;quot; Marlien gave us a tour of her home in the Pacific Palisades, which is packed full of great fashion finds, genius organizational ideas for the office, and just overall eye candy. Plus, she shares her shopping tips for finding the best of the best online. And if you&amp;#39;re left craving more, just read her blog; she does the work for you!\nOn getting her start: &amp;quot;My dad was a photojournalist for Life, Time, and Sports Illustrated, among others, so I was very into magazines as a girl. I got my start at People and soon thereafter landed at Seventeen, where I got to write, report, and edit right out of the gate, as I was &amp;#39;in the demo.&amp;#39; Most recently, I was West Coast editor at Lucky, which I helped launch. I left Lucky last December to pursue Le Catch full time.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookMarlien&amp;#39;s jewelry box with a picture of her parents and grandmother tucked into it.\nWhat she loves most about her job: &amp;quot;Fashion has always been my passion, so it rarely feels like work, and I think this is true for many people in this business. It&amp;#39;s a blessing since you get to work with people every day who are also excited about what they are doing, rather than counting down the days until they can retire!&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookSome of her best finds for the site: &amp;quot;A few recents that come to mind are this shoe and this dress.&amp;quot;\nHer online shopping tips: &amp;quot;Seek out loose interpretations of runway looks, not poor imitations. Look for clothing and accessories with unique detailing, such as embroidery, bold prints, or beading, which can make things look more expensive than they are. Avoid anything that&amp;#39;s super tight, super sheer, or has any whiff of cheesiness.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookMarlien in her closet in an H&amp;amp;M plaid blouse, United Bamboo skirt, and Schutz fur-trimmed sandals.\nOn how to pull off high-low style: &amp;quot;I like to invest in the classics&amp;#8212;cashmere, a good bag, a statement shoe&amp;#8212;and pair them with less expensive of-the-moment items. The trick to mixing high and low lies in the contrast of textures, proportions, and prints.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookHere, she wears a Perrin Paris hair cuff.\nOn her most recent splurge: &amp;quot;This Gucci weekend bag will be accruing lots of frequent-flyer miles this summer. And when I need to take a bigger suitcase, it can serve as my roomy magazine-filled carry-on.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookHer favorite pair of shoes: &amp;quot;I scored these Yves Saint Laurent heels at a vintage store a few months ago for around $250. They&amp;#39;re from the &amp;#39;70s, and they&amp;#39;re the definition of sexy.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookThe best purchase she ever made: &amp;quot;I bought this Fendi clutch ages ago in Rome on sale. The gold handles and structured shape make it forever elegant.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookHer organizational tips for her office: &amp;quot;I organize my desk by trying to get paperwork off of it.&amp;quot; Here, Marlien uses gold shell bookends to store her party invitations. So Gatsby!\nPinterestFacebookOn her fab bookshelves: &amp;quot;I organize my bookshelves in my office by stacking things haphazardly on top of each other.&amp;quot; Her bookshelves are brimming with Domino magazines and every issue of Lucky she ever worked on.\nPinterestFacebookYou can get your daily dose of shopping inspiration from Le Catch.\nDo you not love her style? If there were one room in your house that represented your personal style, what would it be?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
