I’ve had the same key chain for almost two years now and I think it’s time for something a little newer {and cleaner}. Here are several options I am loving!
gold fringe, monogram, skull and crossbones, rainboot, lion, heart

get hooked
July 23, 2012
From jewelry, to keys, and light jackets too, decorative hooks are a go-to of mine when trying to get organized! {They do wonders for long necklaces, all of mine are hung from hooks and rarely get tangled!}

outfits organized
July 9, 2012
A few weeks back, when I was preparing for my sister’s wedding, I knew I had to be extremely organized and prepared to help with what ever needed to be done at the drop of a hat. With that being said I wanted to look cute myself and knew I wouldn’t have time to waste to put together outfits throughout the weekend {I needed 4 complete looks total}. We stayed at a hotel not to far from my house and I packed on hangers with a small Ziploc bag attached to each containing my accessories. I poked a small hole in the Ziploc to put on the hanger. Packing this way is an absolute must when you have multiple outfits and time is not on your side.
behind closed doors
January 19, 2012
I have been doing a lot of cleaning, re-organizing and re-decorating this month. I typically have a very neat and organized home {I’m a perfectionist when it comes to pillows and bedding}, however that is not the case behind closed doors and drawers {closets, cabinets and dressers that is }. I tend to ignore the mess I can’t see. I have rather large doors and a bookshelf that fits perfectly behind one {I live in a one bedroom, I need all the storage space I can get}. This shelf was getting out of control, I finally had to do something about it. Inspired by a few after Christmas craft sale purchases, from my mom.

sequin storage
December 21, 2011
It’s that time of year when we all pull out the glitz, glam and sparkle. As most of you know, I don’t spend outrageous amounts on clothing, but I do treat all my pieces with equal respect! No matter Forever21 or Saks, I take care of it all. Unfortunately, I’m not blessed with a closet straight off Sex and the City. Instead I’m stuck with a limited space and jammed packed racks, with hangers-on top of each other. When is comes to sequins, It’s extremely important to store your pieces inside out! This reduce’s the loss of sequins and the occasional pull on other clothing items.

just pin it
November 14, 2011
Well I can officially admit, I am a pinterest addict! I had to share this recent idea I pinned. Ever since I could remember I have used bobbi pins. They are all over my house, in every handbag and even throughout my car. This is best idea to keep them from living all over the place. All you need is a magnetic strip and a little double-sided tape.

trays.. and more trays
November 3, 2011
Trays work great to add color, texture and height to flat surfaces. Best part, get bored of the look, just move the tray around the house, from the coffee table, to the nightstand. Here are some of my recent favorite finds below.

{West Elm $22-$24}

boot leggin’
November 1, 2011
Why didn’t I think of that…the most genius storage idea yet! Recently I pulled out all my winter clothes, boots, scarves etc. I had to do a little closet re-arranging. And was at a loss for my slouchy boots, that just wouldn’t stand up. Then I remembered bottles, wine bottles. They are the perfect shape and size to keep those boots standing tall!

missoni madness {for target}
September 19, 2011
I have been debating on writing about Missoni for Target or letting the issue rest {there has been much controversy over the anticipated collection: lack of inventory, women hoarders, ebay price hikes, and advertising running for a campaign that has no merchandise etc.} I decided to give you a little insight on what was a successful shopping trip for me {since I shared with you my anticipation here}!
I have always been much more successful, especially at Target, when visiting store locations that are not in a city or major populated area. I typically drive at least 30 minutes to get to a Target that has less store traffic {my parents live near as well}. I also visit the local Target whenever I am on the road as well. The Target location I went to for the Missoni launch was fully stocked and ready to serve its customers. On that day I was the ONLY customer there for Missoni! It was such a pleasurable experience, and the employees {who were still unpacking a few items} were so kind and helpful! So in this case taking the road less traveled {or store less frequented} lead to my lucky girl finds! I have shared a few finds below!
{P.S. I was actually fortunate enough to place an online order as well, patience paid off in that instance. However still awaiting the deliveries!}

Missoni for Target
August 11, 2011
Those who know me well, are probably sick of me talking about this collection. This is by far the BEST designer collaboration Target has ever had! I cannot wait till September 13! I had to share the most recent released looks from the collection!
