Closet Captured

Posted on January 24th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | 6 Comments »

Aside from the clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories, I’m sure most of you Fashionistas would love to have a huge closet space and be able to decorate it with your personal style. I myself would love to have a huge closet someday. However, I am more than contented with what we have right now. I’m gonna share with you some of the dream closets that most women would love to have. But I’m also going to share my current closet and the minor updates I’ve done to it to make it feel like my very own private nook. :) Of course I let hubby lease a space for the meantime. Hahaha. It took me awhile to decide on what to do with the closet… how to organize the things there. I’ve wasted hours searching for storage solutions and I’ll be sharing with you interesting kinds of storage below and what I still want to have or add in the future when the budget permits. LOL!

Previously, my closet looks like this (the shoes were outside the closet but then I put them in and they were all on the floor)

Closet Tip 1: Organizing Accessories

Posted on January 12th, 2010 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | 4 Comments »

I’m sure most of you fashionistas have a lot of accessories. Because come on, that is the one thing that we can buy all year round without breaking the bank too much. LOL! Take for example, with thirty bucks, you can buy so many accessories with it. You can buy rings, earrings, necklaces, and bangles of all sorts. Give me that money and I’ll go straight to Forever 21 and I’ll be back with a couple of pieces on hand. Now I can just imagine if I were in Manila – I would really be able to buy a lot of accessories from Landmark with that. Hehe. I’m not a picky shopper. To be able to afford a Fashionista lifestyle, you have to be wise. You can get a lot of the good stuff from more affordable brands and then reserve the funds for the more special and prized pieces. :) Chanel or Hermes anyone? *wink wink*

So anyway, I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who have a lot of accessories too. So my question is, how are you keeping up with organizing them? With a ton of accessories piled up, sometimes, you tend to forget you have this and that. So here is CLOSET TIP #1 from MFJ on how to organize your accessories.

Organizing Accessories Closet Tip 1: Organizing Accessories

I previously bought the Neatnix Jewelry organizers from Bed Bath and Beyond. They are great for my necklaces, rings, and earrings. Ooooh I was so happy at that time because you can buy a lot and stack them up, but -> I was actually planning for a dream closet. I was planning on getting a long table for my dream closet. HAHA. The long table that you see in jewelry stores – the one with the glass top and has an opening at one side… yup, that’s it. I would lay all of these Neatnix organizers there like in a store. But now that we’ve got a home, a long table won’t fit. LOL! Perhaps if I win the lottery, I can buy a house with a walk in closet as big as our current Master Bedroom. If we were able to buy a house with 4 bedrooms, I would have converted the other room to just a closet/bag room. It was the original plan. But we opted for a newer home with only 3 but bigger rooms. Anyway, another downside to this is it’s costly – at $14.95 per stack. And I couldn’t even fit everything here. The necklace stack is not enough and it’s not appropriate for huge necklaces. On top of it all, there’s no room for my bracelets. But anyway, until now I make use of my Neatnix for my other accessories. Bangles can be put in another accessory organizer such as the next one.

When I went home last 2007, I found a hanging pocket jewelry organizer in SM. There’s also one at Bed Bath and Beyond but is like more than three times the price of what I bought back home. Below is the one you can find at Bed Bath and Beyond, selling for $14.99. Ouch. So it was cool. I simply hang it in the closet. No need to dig through a pile of accessories. But again, You’ll have to buy how many to keep everything in one pocket? Or maybe, you can put the sets altogether in one pocket but still, even three of these won’t be enough. And huge bangles won’t fit. Plus, I don’t want it hanging together with my clothes. I have a bit of an O.C.D. (self diagnosed). :) But anyway, I’m still using mine until I get extra budget to buy more of what I’m about to show you after the hanging pocket jewelry…

My Dream Bag Closet

Posted on December 15th, 2009 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | 3 Comments »

Sorry if I haven’t been updating much. Last Sunday was such a fun event at the Eagles Canyon Raceway. As I’ve always mentioned, Hubby loves cars. He loves track days. Last December 13 was one of those Charity/Fundraiser track events. We get to donate toys/canned goods/cash for kids in need to be able to run/race. It’s not really a race, but you know… seat time (as they call it)… to practice… test their cars… time their cars, etc. It was so much fun watching. I wasn’t able to ride this time though. There were a lot of cars out there, especially the ones who are new to track or to the ECR track. So they didn’t allow passengers this time around. Anyway, too much intro already, let’s get back to the topic: My Dream bag closet!

Thanks to DailyFashionista, I got to learn about Jamie Cuaca’s bag closet – okay, this is just a tiny part of it… something that I wish I could have. Duh? in another life, perhaps… LOL!

Things To Do This Summer

Posted on May 27th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

In some parts of the world, summer has already started. But in the US, summer officially starts on the 21st of June. So what are you planning to do this summer? There are many places to see and things to do… some places I have already shared with you include Rochester and Niagara Falls in New York, Pennsylvania, Danville and Richmond in Virginia. So what to do this summer? Below are some ideas.

1. Go to the beach – carry that lazy a$$! It’s important to go to the beach especially if you live in an area that has a winter season. It’s not like everyday you can go fun in the sand and sun. So if I were you, take this chance to go to one!

2. Engage in some kind of outdoor sports/activity – be it walking, running, football, basketball, hunting, camping, fishing, volleyball, tennis, or golf (among other things), just do it! It’s time to sweat. If you need to go to the beach and show off some skin, make sure you have the body. You don’t have to be skinny, you just need to get toned.

3. Clean your closet – once in awhile we have to get rid off the old stuff. If there’s any piece of garment you haven’t worn in more than a year, get rid of it! This is the season of Yard Sale, so if you have one in your neighborhood, it’s your chance. What can you do with a couple of bucks? Buy something new for this summer! If you don’t need the money, then just donate it to your local charity.

4. Go on a road trip - gas prices are rising but if you go on a road trip with a couple of friends, you get to save on what would be plane fare expenses. You don’t have to go far, just look for a nearby state or city and see what attractions are available. You can go swimming, camping, shopping at an outlet, go to an amusement park, catch a concert or broadway show, take a boat cruise or a train tour, or just take pictures of a famous attraction and then go drinking in your hotel or inn. What’s more is that you can visit family and friends in the neighboring states or provinces.

5. Do a charitable or environmentally-friendly act – you can join a fun run or marathon for a cause. As simple as planting trees in your backyard would be a great idea too. Buying eco-friendly stuff is also something you can do. If you’re a busy person, then simply donate a substantial amount to your favorite charity – an amount higher than what you usually shell out for charities.

A Fashionista’s Haven: Mariah Carey’s NY Triplex

Posted on March 9th, 2008 by Fashion Juice (Admin) | Leave a Comment »

How would you like to have an “open viewing arrangement” of a closet? Probably a Fashionista’s dream is to have a closet as big as Mariah Carey’s in her NY Triplex shown below. Fashion Juice was at awe having seen M’s room of a closet but still prefer Alicia Silverstone’s in the movie Clueless. :) Of course, this is more beautiful, if only it had the rotating rack with a computer system… haha!
