What is it with women and these silly pouches? For me, it’s the options to change and rotate the organizers of the deep abyss that is my handbag.

How: Jewelry Organization

It’s hard to organize your jewelry when you don’t have the right equipment. I still use old “Pog” containers for my jewelry.

However, I was at Urban Outfitters this weekend I came upon some great ideas for keeping the tangled necklaces and half pair earrings at bay.

At the moment, my necklaces are very unhappy, strung and hung on the wall, limp and lifeless. When I want to wear one that has moved it’s way to the back, it’s amazing if I can get to it without spending at least 20 minutes de-tangling.

With these branches, wall mounts, and holders it won’t be hard to accessorize.

This aluminum little birch stand retails at $28.00 and can hold necklaces, rings, bracelets…

I’m always misplacing rings only to find that they have rolled off my nightstand under my bed. This wooden ring holder will cost you only $8!

I’ve collected so many pieces over the years that it’s hard to wear/find them all. With this wall jewelry display it’s easy to see what’s available.

Closet space. I’ve lived in New York for over three years and never had the luxury of a closet bigger than a refrigerator.
