Shoe Organizers March 3rd, 2011 By Staci Diane

At the start of each season, I attempt to pare down my shoes to make room for new purchases. I divide my shoes into categories – everyday shoes, sneakers, evening shoes, heels and flats. Visibility and accessibility are a constant issue since shoes end up under hanging clothes or lost in the back of my closet. beso has shoe organizers that are space efficient with quick access to shoes worn most frequently. My favorite is hanging shoe storage that can be placed over the door or on a closet rod. How do you keep your shoes organized?

Space Living Chocolate & Pink Shoe Organizer – Over the Door, $22.73 at Linens ‘n Things

3/10 Shelf Sweater & Shoe Organizer – Natural Canvas, $37.99 $26.99 (29% off) at Hayneedle

Beautiful Birdhouses February 4th, 2011 By Arianna

Although it might not feel like it now, summer will be here soon. Looking for outdoor decorating ideas? Birdhouses – like the Chalet Birdhouse from Frontgate – are a sweet way to add some style. Providing shelter for your neighborhood feathered friends will be its own reward. The Le Petit Chalet Green Faerie Bird House will add a little fairie charm to your garden. Gnome Sweet Gnome! It might not be Frank Lloyd Wright for birds, but the Metropolitan Bird House 166 is cool architecture…even if it’s for the birds. The MacKenzie-Childs Hollyhock Birdhouse is eclectic – and every one is an original – for your very own place to roost.

CB2 Vases January 23rd, 2011 By Mara

I want to go out and get these great cylinder vases from CB2. It’s already 70 in January, and there are blooms around my house and in the Santa Monica farmers market that I think would be just gorgeous in my apartment. CB2 vases for the most part are contemporary and affordable. Have a look!

Scented Soy Candles January 12th, 2011 By Mara

A scented soy candle adds warmth to any room, with the added bonus of being a bit more environmentally friendly in that they’re generally vegan and a renewable energy source. Some of my favorite brands include Archipelago Botanicals candles and Ecoya candles (the Kardashian sisters are also fans).

Papillon Chalkboard December 29th, 2010 By Mara

I am such a dog lover, I can’t even tell you. My own darling papillon Isla sometimes gets jealous, so I have to remind her that she’s still the love of my life by bringing home kitchy wares. This papillon chalkboard is simple and rustic, and would be adorable in either my bathroom or kitchen.

Speaking of adorable papillons, The Glamourai has one named Bunny! Hop on over and check out her photos for some smiles.
