Cath Kidston

I just discovered Cath Kidston recently.  A friend was using a pretty floral tote bag and when I queried, she told me it’s a Cath Kidston.  I checked her website as soon as I could and I fell over heels in love with her collection. Designer, Cath Kidston is based in London and is known for her quirky, floral print.  Besides clothing, accessories and bags, she has expanded  her products to homewares and kids.  Today, Cath Kidston is a unique global lifestyle brand.  Here are a few things which I really like.

How To Save Space In The Shoe Closet

barbara

My shoe cabinet is packed to the brim.  It does not help that I am a shoeholic.  I need to organize my shoe closet to create more space.  Before I start reading up on the acne treatment, I thought I would check out some shoe organizers online.   I found this Spinning Shoe Organize from HarrietCarter.com.  It features a hanging caddy with 40 pockets and 5 shelves.  Besides holding shoes, it can even hold handbags, scarves and more. This is just what I need to save space.  I can’t wait to get on now and start organizing my closet.  The Spinning Shoe Organizer makes a great gift too.

All Things Ruffled

Before I begin to look up liponox, a weight loss supplement, I would like to share with you what I found a while ago.  Beautiful ruffled pillows and clutches.  Oh how I love ruffles.   Whether they are on a cake, a dress or a shoe, I heart them all.  Ruffles can make something plain look elegant.  Check out Jilly Bean Craft at Etsy.com.

Accessorizing Your Outfit

barbara

I am into accessories. I love wearing bracelets, necklace, rings and earrings. Accessories are great for sprucing up a plain outfit or rejuvenate an old one.  With the right accessories, it is easy to add unique touches to your look or make an ordinary outfit look great.  While the man was busy looking for material handling equipment, I found some gorgeous accessories from WhiteHouseBlackMarket.com.
