Email thisPosted Apr 25th 2008 at 1:05PM by Cat Lincoln

Did you pull pages out of the giant September Vogue, then leave them in a fashion wishlist pile, never sort through them again?

Or flag every page of the Elle Spring Shoes Round Up, only to stack it in a corner with dozens of other dog-earred magazines?

It turns out, there are lots of us, and one woman who came up with a system to help organize it all: Scanalog.

To complement Josh's great post about Feng Shui-ing your closet into organization, I have one very strong recommendation: start in the housewares aisle!

There among the vacuum cleaner bags and duct tape, you will find the fashion-protector's best friend, Damp Rid.

5 ways to attack your closet with the power of Feng Shui

Cleaning out your nightmarishly unorganized closet may not be at the top of your list of things to do with your Saturday, but a tidy storage space for your wardrobe can supposedly change your life -- at least that's if you believe in the eastern art of Feng Shui. Even if you don't subscribe to any superstitions that say cleansing your house will improve your existence, most of us can at least appreciate the aesthetics and functionality of a well-organized closet.

There are a bajillion products out there which claim to make the storage of your earthly junk more accessible, so how do you know which ones will lead you toward enlightenment? Rather than test out all the closet organizers on the market, you might find it easier to just apply these simple concepts to your closet and go from there.

Resolutions to Reality: Organize closet with better hangers

Email thisPosted Dec 30th 2007 at 1:24PM by Lauren Messiah

Filed under: Stores We Love, Steals and Deals, Product Reviews

I am not usually one for resolutions but the time I have been spending in suburbia has inspired me to make a few. First one is to manage my money better (that's not going to be easy) and second is to organize my closet. Now that, I can handle.

In order to keep my second resolution I will have to break my first resolution by spending some money at The Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond and probably a few other places too. I am hoping that organizing my closet will help me actually see how much stuff I have that way I will stop buying so much. Of course my plan could totally backfire and I may end up seeing that I have room for more stuff -- it's a risk I am willing to take.

The first step I plan on taking in my closet organization resolution is to buy new hangers. I found these great ultra slim hangers at suburban super-store, Bed Bath and Beyond. I used my Mother as a test subject and got her 2 packs of 10 hangers. The hangers are great, your clothes don't slip and the slim design takes up less space in your closet.

Get a pack of 10 hangers (choose from a variety of colors) for $9.99 or get a pack of 50 hangers for $39.99 at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Style IT is giving away a Rakku shoe wheel

Email thisPosted Feb 6th 2007 at 2:46PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Contests & Giveaways

Remember a couple of months ago when I was obsessed with shoe organization? The Rakku shoe wheel was my solution of the moment and this week, fellow fashion blogger Style IT is giving away one of the ferris wheels of fashionable shoe fun. The shoe wheel can store up to 30 pairs of shoes, so if you're like me, you'd probably need more than just one, but it's a good place to start.

Just pop over to Style IT to find out more about what they're up to.

See and store your shoes with Shoe-stor

One day I was at my sister's house borrowing her machines to do some laundry, and went on a mini-hunt for laundry detergent, which I had absent-mindedly left at home. I looked in the usual places, and when I finally came to the hall closet and flung the door open, I almost fell over. My sister had not only taken over the entire front hall closet with her shoes (it runs in the family), but she had very neatly packed each pair of shoes away in their original box, with a photo of the pair of shoes on the outside so she could find them.

She wouldn't have had to go to so much trouble if she had come across Shoe-Stor, a company that makes clear shoe boxes. The boxes are sturdier than the cardboard boxes in which the shoes come, so they can stack neatly, and because they're clear, you can quickly scan your collection for the pair that perfectly matches your outfit. Brilliant! They also make larger boxes for boots, men's shoes, and handbags.

Shoe-Stor products are available online from their website, for $39.95 for a pack of 10 regular size boxes.
