Organizing Your Jewelry

 

If you're anything like me, you have random piles of jewelry scattered all around your house.  I have the worst habit of taking my earrings or bracelets off in a random place, leaving them there, and then latter tearing apart my apartment looking for them. I have decided to get organized, I have had this jewelry box for a few years, but it just didn't fit my growing collection, so I got the bracelet/watch holder to help with that problem.

There are several different ways you can organize your jewelry. Many make their own, or buy, hanging racks for necklaces or earrings. These are great for storing jewelry but I wanted a more upscale look for this little corner of my bedroom. I found this mirrored jewelry box at T.J.Maxx a few years ago but have linked several bellow for you to look at. The third option for jewelry store if the dream princess diaries closet with my remote control tiara holder (I'm working in it, seriously). 

When choosing how to store your jewelry, most people underestimate how much space they really need. You want to have plenty of space to display everything you already own, and keep in mind, you are likely going to purchase more. I always keep the items I wear daily out for easy access. Keep your special occasion, or really unique pieces in a different place, or in the bottom compartment of your jewelry box. You want to keep your every day go-to jewelry where you can see it, so you can get dressed quickly and throw on your arm candy and head out the door.

Blushing

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

Blush is one of my favorite colors (period) for this spring/summer and I wanted to share a few of my favorites. I specifically and coveting the (7) saddles pictured above, main reason besides their obvious cuteness they fit my work dress code which is not as easy as I was hoping it would be. I have been dreaming of the YSL pink lingerie lipstick above, and finally splurged and purchase it as a little Easter present to myself, I cant wait to wear it! What blush items are you eying?

Spring Style Guide

Hello first day of spring, I have been looking forward to seeing you for quite some time now! I am kicking off the first official day of spring with my spring style guide, what I think every women should own to compete her spring wardrobe.

Sun dress// To me when I think spring, I think sundresses, and when I think sundress, I think Lilly Pulitzer . This yellow first impressions dress is one of my favorites from their spring collection.

Full Skirt// Skirts are a great alternative to a sundress so you can show off some of your cute flirty tops, I prefer fuller skirts over tight ones, but that is just my taste. I adore this lavender one from Jcrew.  

Jean jacket // Jeans jackets are perfect for throwing over any outfit on a chilly evening.

Tunic// I am a big fan of tunic, first off I think they loop faltering on about everyone, and second they are so comfortable. I am eying this  Tory Burch tunic .

 

Gingham// I literally can't get enough of gingham, especially this button down from Jcrew they offer it in a variety of colors and has a great fit.

Boyfriend jean// I do not currently have a boyfriend jean but I desperately want a pair for spring, and I have my eye on these,

White jeans// White jeans are just a necessity of spring, you will get so much use out of them its crazy.

Tote// Spring is one of those seasons when your always on the go, and that calls for a big bag to fit everything into, and I just adore this Kate Spade scallop tote.

Sandals// Spring means time to break out the open toed shoes, these Jacks are my favorite everyday sandal, but I also think ever girl should own a great wedge.

Jewelry//  Spring is a time for bright, fun, and bold jewelry, I love these earring from Stella & Dot and keep your eyes out for a Stella & Dot post coming up soon.

Nails// I love getting me nails done as much as the next girl, and I also love all of these colors from the Essie spring collection.

Spring is literally just days away, I know all I have been talking about lately is how much I love spring, and my favorite spring styles, but I'm just so happy it is just a few short days away. Tunics are a great spring and summer essential, wear them with skinny jeans and a wedge like me, or throw it over your swim suit with a sandal. eShakti has several cute summer tunics, like the one I am wearing, and here is another that I think is just adorable. I have worked with eShakti before, and continue to be impressed with the great customer service, I get to have the item made specifically just for my body, and still received it in the mail in a short amount of time.
