HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR JEWELRY

I was totally overwhelmed by the positive feedback on my studio tour last week! I'm excited to break it down a little and share some projects and sources that have been particularly helpful for making it work in such a small space. Given the interest for this post on how to organize your clutches, I thought some of you might like to know how I organize my jewelry.

I started with these Container Store acrylic jewelry stands in two heights: one for bracelets and one for necklaces. I happen to own way more bracelets than necklaces so the taller one holds a mixture of the two. I keep my earrings and rings in boxes and trays — right now I have this on my windowsill and this on my bathroom counter.

My clutches and my jewelry sit on top of the dresser in my only closet (note to self: next apartment must have double the closet space). I like that the jewelry stands are clear so the surface of my dresser looks tidy and I can see all my accessories at a glance.

What do you think? Could you live with this organization system? How do you store and display your jewelry?

WEEKEND READING

Photo of the Louvre by my friend Kate. See where else I'm itching to travel here!

1. A funny (and smart) TED talk.

2. An affordable campaign desk. (Keep the brown wood or paint it!)

3. I just signed up for Netflix (#lateadopter) and can't wait to make my way through these recommendations. Any others you love?

4. I'll obviously be needing this striped quilted vest for fall/winter.

5. I'm pretty much drooling over my friend Katie's fashion week Pinterest board. Counting down the days!

6. Seriously digging the scarf print on this fall tote.

7. Sweatshirts and ruffles don't usually go hand in hand but this little number totally works.

8. It's me on Unabashedly Prep! I'm wearing this dress and these heels. Navy or nothing ;)

9. The obsession with all things scalloped continues.

10. Under $200?! This coat is almost too good to be true.

WEEKEND EYE CANDY

What. A. Week. I definitely took my own advice and ran myself ragged with work, doctor's appointments, and evenings with friends. Suffice it to say I was blown away by all the love for my little studio tour that went live on Tuesday. You guys even crashed their servers for a little bit... Amazing. 

After skydiving last weekend, I made more progress on my 101 in 1001 list by finally getting my eyes checked and buying glasses I don't actually hate. Oh and I'm three days into my goal to drink the recommended amount of water every day for a week — is it lame that I'm pretty sure this is the hardest goal on my list?

Today I'm meeting up with Eddy to run a mile in Central Park and hopefully live to tell the tale. I was a gymnast through high school, a cheerleader my freshman year in college, and I make it to the gym three times a week but I am not, not, not a runner. That said, I am very much a list-maker and hopefully the motivation of crossing another goal off my list will keep me putting one foot in front of the other. If you see a redhead collapsing in Central Park this afternoon, do stop and say hello.

 One more thing: this 101 in 1001 list wraps up at the end of September and I'm hard at work drafting my next list. I have about 80 tasks written down but I'd really love your input! If you or someone you know has written a similar list (bucket list, 25 before 25, 30 before 30, etc.), please email me or leave a link below. I'll take all the inspiration I can get!

Oh and join me on Pinterest for tons more eye candy every day of the week. Have a good one! xx
