So, I’ve been thinking about this lately - and perhaps you can help - do you store both fine and fashion jewelery in one place, or do you have separate jewelery boxes for each? I’m looking for a good solution b/c right now my jewelery is so disorganized.

I do in fact store fashion jewelry separately. The fashion jewelry items tend toward the bolder, chunkier pieces and seem to have different storage “needs”. I’m like yourself in that I must be organized and know exactly which items are where — “a place for everything and everything in it’s place”!

Fashion pieces I actually “drape”/hang from a vintage-inspired dress form. I like to look at the colors and textures so I alternate which ones will be in full view on the dress form! Otherwise, pieces are tucked away inside some drawer dividers contstructive of flexible seagrass-like material which I purchased from California Closets.

Fine pieces I tend to store in the boxes they came in. I take a pic of each item and affix it to the box, and stack these in an orderly way in a drawer.

This system seems to work for me! Let me know what you come up with, Princesse!

BTW, I gave you a shoutout in my latest post: http://lapetiteprincesse.com/2007/07/26/i-must-have-been-a-crow-in-a-past-life/

In the meantime, I’m headed over to visit you (thank you for the shoutout, btw!).

Thanks for the 9″ stiletto race link and the Virtual shoe site! I’ve been drolling all morning.

BTW, it would be nice to keep up with the conversations from everyone else. Do you have the Subcribe to Comment WP widget installed ?

You’re very welcome. Some of those shoes were a “hoot”, not to mention “cripplers”!

Will tweak the widgets! Thank you for suggesting that.
