On My Mind || Organization and other things

January 02, 2014


We thought we were going to move over the holidays but as it usually happens we have been delayed a few more weeks and all I can dream about is unpacking and organizing.  And since its the beginning of the year which is all about fresh starts and cleaning house the need to make everything perfectly arranged is killing me. I dream about a china closet like that one above where my vases are all in one place, bowls in another, tray dividers....heaven!  I just dream of the many visits to the container store I will make when we can finally move because I'm going to be so organized even my almost obsessive compulsive mom will be impressed.

Gold and Black Necklace ||  My mom and I adore necklaces.  We have a grand collection.  She has the best eye when it comes to spotting something cool and different.  For Christmas she gave me a fabulous necklace by Viktoria Hayman (similar to this one).  The designer was having a trunk show at Neiman's right before the Holidays. I have worn it twice and have gotten at least six compliments already so I thought you all needed to know about her jewelry.  The necklace above is spectacular in my opinion.  You could dress up some jeans or wear it with a LBD.  I guarantee its a show-stopper and different from what everyone else is wearing because it is nice to stand-out once in a while (and trust me you will with one of these!).

Cape ||  I love capes and think they are so elegant and practical.  They look so fabulous with jeans and riding boots.  Such a special look in my opinion.  I spotted this very inexpensive one and thought it ideal.

Stacking Storage Boxes ||  With my current organization compulsion anything storage, and especially if its this cool looking, is striking my fancy.  How cool would they look on a top shelf on a closet? Yes, please! And maybe they can even contain some sexy romance letters.

Clutch ||  Cheeky and clever, a perfect conversation starter and it will even match with most evening outfits.

What is on your mind lately?  Resolutions?  exercise?  Check and check for me on these too as well.  If you are still on vacation, enjoy!!

  1. Happy New Year Albertina!! 2014 is going to be great! I am so glad that you didn't have to move before the holidays. And even though I don't plan on moving I am in serious minimalistic/organizational mode, yesterday I through away so much, it felt so good! My new moto is 'everything must have a place' :) But as I say that I love those black and white boxes so chic - my love of objects and this need for minimalism do not go hand in hand :)

  9. The only good thing about moving is that it forces you to clean, purge, and organize! I'm still working on these things since our recent move(s), but it is coming along!! I can't wait to hear more about your new house!!

  10. I'm organization obsessed at the moment as well! It tends to happen every time I move, a new start, a great time to de clutter and get everything in line. How did I miss that you were moving?! Ummmm fill me in!

  11. I just spent all week (still not done) going room to room cleaning. It's refreshing. I love the comment about your mom. My mom is so organized even our clear food tupperware was labeled growing up! Why could none of that have rubbed off on me;) Good luck with the move!
