Building a jewelry collection can be tricky & time consuming business.  I've been building my own collection for over a decade and it's filled with everything from Chanel to items that I've picked up at Forever 21.  When I talk to anyone about building a jewelry collection, I tell them to focus on finding their favorite items.  If you love stacking bracelets, focus on that for awhile. Search for items everywhere, from flea markets to malls to your mother's jewelry box.

My jewelry storage right now is, well, kinda a cluster.  I have some drawers with dividers that separate out colors, as well as have my favorite pieces/most frequently worn pieces more readily accessible.  It's a work in progress to say the very least.

I'm sure you are sick-to-death of hearing about ikat and how it's such an 'in' print this season.  Well I'm sorry about your luck, but here's another post on it.  Or more accurately a post on how impressed I've been with the Gap this season.  This dress a la the Gap is so fantastic...on trend, comfortable, AND comes in petite.  I was sold at petite.

You ever have one of those days when you put on an outfit, look in the mirror and are totally happy with it, then when you significant other gets home he gives you the one-eyebrow-raise-are-you-sure-you-looked-in-the-mirror-after-you-got-dressed look?  Well this was one of those days for me.  I believe Hubs exact words were, "Did you just put on everything that you had in your closet." To which I told him to shut his face and take some pictures of me.
