Jewelry Organizer

I have a problem. It is that I have WAY too much jewelry! I can't let go of it if there is a slight chance that I could make something new out of it someday if I get bored of it. So, every "necklace holder" I find in the stores don't have near enough hooks or space to hold all of my chunky jewelry. I found this awesome idea on the DIYDISH to organize your necklaces and hair accessories. It is so cute! Here is my version of what they did: This is how I used to store my necklaces

Effective, sorta...These are the ingredients (The DIY Dish girls put it straight on the wall, but I live in an apartment and don't want to glue, or put too many holes in the wall so I used a cardboard lid and flattened it out and covered it was gold striped tissue paper. Pretty ;)Here's how it looks on the wall! It's prettier in person...And here it is with necklaces on it. Very effective I must say!

Try it! It's simple, easy, organized and cute!

Watch the video to see how these cute sisters do it:

Fall fashion boost

Well, I know it's been so long and I apologize for that. Between moving a few states away and getting new jobs it's been a little crazy! I will give you a quick re-cap of Fashion's Night Out. It was super fabulous! I took some pictures and as soon as I can find my camera to computer cord I will update those. Besides all the free booze they were passing out like candy on Halloween, there was quite a bit going on. There was a cute flower shop that had these delicious macarons (not macaroons) that I resisted eating more than one (what was I thinking? They were to DIE for!), there was a horde of important and very beautifully dressed people inside the Christian Loubouton boutique. I was in there for only a few minutes mostly because I couldn't even see the shoes on display! Slightly disappointing, but it was a very exciting environment to be in. The Chanel boutique was offering complimentary manicures and make-up, I was by myself and felt a little funny waiting in line for that in such a high end store so I ended up leaving after oogoling over the beautiful clothing and purses! I went inside Anthropologie for the first time (I have since gotten a job there! I know, you are all jealous!!) and was flabergasted by the decor and awesome displays they have! I mean, it's snowing in there, there's a forest, there's a french living room, and a fantasy bedroom, it's fantastic!! Other than that I wandered around the awesome outdoor mall of Highland Park and saw some beautiful and luxurious clothing and accessories, but most of all SHOES! Next year, I will go with a friend and we will do way more and have a much more fantastic time. Okay, who wants to go?

Well now, for your fashion boost! If you are in any sort of position like me, (money flew out the window and cannot be located at this time) you will understand how hard it is to get a new wardrobe every fall (someday...). I was emailed this video from Buckle on the ultimate fall closet. It is an awesome video on how to revamp what you already may have and wear it MANY different ways. It's some quick changing but I got very inspired by this to revamp my own fall clothes to feel like I've been on some crazy shopping spree! Check it out: Ultimate Closet::Fall 2010



Please tell me what you think and if you have any re-vamp the closet ideas.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a post of your favorite fall outfits. Send me some pics of you in your outfit and you'll be on next weeks blog! steffers4@gmail.com

Until next time....
