organizing tips:: when you travel ...

.. how do you transport your jewellery? 

i stick them all into the front pocket of my cosmetic case. and sometimes i spend my entire vacation wearing the same few accessories because i forget that they are hidden there!! doh!


this is one brilliant idea, from in her stilettos. doesn't it look so pretty & neat? 

she uses fish bait containers but i own a whole bunch from the dollar store that sorts my sewing bits and pieces. perhaps its time to duck out & get a few more of these babies!

  1. oy! i do have problems transporting my accessories. i keep them in old fashioned chinese pouches (like the ones our moms keep gold chains in?) but then i keep all these little pouches in one bigger pouch it's insane!! i don't know if these boxes will work because they take up too much room!

    i know exactly what kinda pouches you're referring to! :) those are precious!!

    it does take up more space than pouches!! but its so easy to see all the jewellery you have at a glance!! i guess i'll keep looking for solutions! :)

  6. What a genius idea:) As much as I love the inevitable mess of necklaces as I open my jewelry bag... I will definitely try this next time.

  8. fab idea to stash them away in these boxes! i keep mine in ziplocks so that the air contact is minimal, and the bags will be subsumed in one plastic container. ha! imagine my anxiety if i have to fish out the right one when i rush off to work :P

  10. hmm, in a way, to minimize oxidation and for hygiene purposes. okay, i am very anal about such things. :P

    my solution is to pour everything out! ha! or simply pick the outfit the night before. :D
