All That Glitters

After a successful trip to The Container Store today, I finally was able to organize my jewelry. When I moved they were thrown en masse into a tote bag with my belts and my headbands. I have a ton of costume jewelry, and I had never actually figured out a good way to store them without getting everything all tangled up.

At the store I picked up some hooks, and decided to hang my chunkier necklaces next to my dresser. I feel like they also add some decoration to my bare walls. I also picked up some clear glass boxes with dividers to put my makeup and perfume in.




(It's pretty obvious what kind of necklaces I favor.)

I thought it would be fun to hang up my three Stormy Seas necklaces by my window.



The rest of my jewelry I fit into this canvas jewelry holder hanging on a rolling rack in my room. (The other side is mostly full as well.)



And since I was in random photo taking mode in my room, here is a view from the apartment!

  1. I really really need to do that with my jewelry collection. My previous (genius) roommate did and it made it to easy to see what I had. I need to do that again...

  2. I love how you artfully arranged your necklaces -- everything looks so pretty and neat. I have a lot of my jewelry hanging on my wall but it's much less organized.

  4. I want to arrange my necklaces like that, too. Always thought i needed to wait for my dad to visit to drill in hooks but maybe I'll try some plastic ones like you did.

  6. Cute idea hanging the necklaces! I live in the NYC area as well, and hang my bags on hooks over one wall in my tiny room. Guess it's better than storing things in the oven :)

  7. Love how you arranged your jewelry- I hang my chunkier necklaces on the wall too. I really like your idea for hanging the rest in that canvas organizer. I'm running out of room, so I'll have to look into this idea!

  8. I just moved into a new place too - so you are totally inspiring me to do something sweet with my jewelry.

    I covet your wall of Stormy Sea necklaces. :o)

  10. I love your blog! This is my first visit and I will check it out everyday from now on!
    I love the black/shiny greyish cluster necklace on your pics (next to the pearl cluster necklace). Do you mind sharing where you purchased it? Thanks!

  11. I like how you have your necklaces arranged, too. I do that with quick release hooks on the back of a closet door. It makes picking one out to wear so much easier! Oh, and those stormy seas necklaces! They are like candy in a candy store! Divine!
