How to train your jewelry

This is how to display your jewelry in a creative and innovative way when you have little room and no budget.
LOOK CLOSELY! You may find my gorgeous handmade-from-vintage-buttons ring from Made by Bee on etsy!
I love the way the jewels sparkle when the light is on!

I have had this lamp since wayyy back in high school, its just a simple lamp from IKEA. I poked a couple of holes in the lampshade to test it out and the holes are hardly visible without the earrings in them. So I went for it and put a few of my most worn pairs of earrings on the lamp shade.

As for the Jewel tree, that was from Target, it was originally $19.99 but I got it on sale (look for the sales and coupons, it will save you a bundle my friends). I mostly put only Chloe+Isabel Jewelry on the tree as it goes with the birdy theme and it helps me keep the items separate for when I do 25 days of Jewels.

For my long, non Chloe+Isabel necklaces, I just used clear push pins to hang them along the wall in coordination with my picture frames (not photoed due to flash glare).

Altogether, I think it looks very nice, and it makes my jewels much more easily accessible; which is great because I am always hurriedly throwing on something as I run out the door to classes!

I hope you like the idea, and are inspired by my little creation!

Cuddles and Creativity,

25 Days of Jewels Day 4



Today is a rainy and cold day, so of course I am wearing my oversized scarf! These jewels go perfectly with it. Adding an artistic scarf quickly turns these jewels from glammy chic to a bohemian dream! 
I'm wearing the Lotus Pearl Cluster Drop Earrings, and one of my absolute favorites, the Modern Deco Stretch Bracelet! Check out its new colorful twin! http://barbiwaters.chloeandisabel.com/products/B012G/modern-deco-stretch-bracelet-1

Can't wait to get my hands on that beauty!

Enjoying spring showers,
Barbi
