Vanity Vamp

Monday, January 6, 2014

As I mentioned I moved back to Hollywood. I have a small studio apartment, in which I'm still trying to figure out how to organize my stuff. I recently updated my bathroom vanity area. I organized my jewelry and makeup so that it's more easily accessible.
This was a fun task and it helped me clean out a bunch of old stuff I no longer needed. I encourage you to de-clutter your life, it's something I'm trying to do this new year.
For Hanukkah, I received some really cute mirrored jewelry boxes from my grandmother (found at Target). They are different sizes and different prints so they add dimension and character to the space.
I put my most precious and most worn pieces in these jewelry boxes, while my other (mostly fashion jewelry) is in an organizational pocket hanger in the closet.


From Pinterest, I got the idea to use my old candle containers to store my nail polishes. It was really simple to clean them out and remove the labeling. I just soaked them in boiling hot water. These candle  holders (from Bath and Body Works) have silver tops, so they tie into the decor well. 
For my makeup, I always loved the acrylic makeup organizers and these I purchased from the Muji store in Hollywood.  I bought the two drawer sets and  stacked them. I don't have too much makeup just yet, so four drawers worked perfect for me. I used a mason jar to hold my makeup brushes and simply placed my perfume on top of the acrylic containers. The one thing I think it's lacking is a fresh bouquet of flowers. How do you think it turned out? Let me know what how you've organized your space! XO


Leopard and Sunshine

Friday, January 3, 2014



I hope you all had a fabulous NYE celebration! I know 2014 is going to be just great! How are you all keeping up with those new year resolutions? As for me, I'm absolutely believing in myself and trusting my choices. Today I decided to wear this see-thru white lace top with a nude bra and after all the "bling" of the new year, I'm still sportin' that sparkle! I mean who doesn't love to shine? Not to mention the beautiful sun is out in full affect today.
I was in dire need of some new flats! I purchased these new leopard flats on new years day and have been wearing them since. I love that I can wear them with anything.
Happy Friday! XO
