Today I'm sharing with you how I have recently organized my pashminas.  Before, they were all stuffed into a huge bin at the bottom of my closet, which was out of the way, but I never wore them as it was such a pain to dig through and find the one I was searching for (additionally, as I cleaned them out, I found ones I had forgotten about!).

Now, using a very simple method (below), they are organized and easy to see.  If you have extra hanging space (I had to make some), this might be helpful for you to get your scarves out where you can see them to maximize their use.  I now use that pink bin to house extra hangers that were taking up valuable hanging space on my rolling rack!

A big ol' bin of scarves!

I recently discovered a website called Everbuying (similar to eBay, without the bidding) as I was looking to purchase a battery-pack style charger for my iPhone. 

Well whaddayouknow, they sell clothes too! 

Of course they are from China, and teeny tiny which is why I'm currently wishing I was a petite Asian so I could fit into the dress above (wah wah; plus it's more like a shirt on me #tallgirlproblems).  Sadly, all three items that I ordered aren't exactly the best fit despite purchasing size large for everything.

That said, I thought I would share with you what I picked up because the pieces are really fashion-y and cool, for cheap cheap cheap.  And THIS is the charger for my iPhone that I picked up a couple months ago aswell.


* I love this jacket and while the shoulder fit is a little wonky, the body is roomy so I'm going to make it work.  Such a chic, unique looking piece, especially for the price.


(button-less with buckles on sleeves)

* This jacket is quite snug but there are two darts in the back that I'm going to let out to give me more room to wrap it arond me.  My mannequin's waist is smaller than mine but I'm hoping with letting the darts out, it will then look like this on me.


This is not a sponsored post, I simply went shopping & am sharing.

Although it's still almost two years away from my new condo being ready, I thought I would post any inspiration I have for what will be a blank slate.  I like looking at others' inspiration and also, it will be a great resource for me to go back when I do move and start the decorating process.

Since I will have an entire room dedicated to my closet (eep!), I have many, many ideas swirling in my head.  I'm not sure if I want a dark theme (my initial thought) with dark shelves and drawers, or a white coloured theme (some of the photos with that are so pretty).  Additionally, wouldn't it be so cool to be able to hang your lingerie (instead of stuffing it in a drawer and hat boxes like I do now)?  I already have a manequin which I love to dress up and I just ordered two acrylic bracelet t-stands to further organize my accessories.

Here are some photos I've found online that I'm drawn to.

I was listening to the radio the other morning, and they were talking about full service gas stations and how you should tip them.  I'm often of the mind-set, 'When in doubt, tip' but it had never crossed my mind to tip at the gas station (which I'm kind of embarassed to admit).  Admitidly you are paying more for full service, and I guess that was my rationale.


Now I'm no stranger to a sparkly mini skirt, but this one I really love for two things, (1) it's tribal pattern (I actually saw a girl in Vegas when I was at the I Heart Radio concert wearing something similar but of course it was from a store in another state and not in Canada), and (2) the colour scheme.  I love the idea of taupe, purple, lime & black together.  What a great combination!
