A late afternoon manicure (I'm currently on a neutral nail polish kick), wearing a skull ring from Plukka.
This week has flown by. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying living in New York City and how often I've been dancing around our apartment in sheer excitement. The rest of our furniture arrived yesterday (including my desk and chair from CB2!) and our place is starting to feel more like home. I hope you're having a great week; here are four mini moments from mine.
Taco night at La Esquina (order the shrimp tacos!).
Finally discovered a solution for my ever growing jewelry collection and bought four of these large acrylic open stacking trays at the Container Store.
Enjoying a giant iced coffee + chocolate croissant while sitting in the window of our apartment.

THANK U THANK U THANK U...ALICIA, seriously you just MADE my Thursday morning. I have been DYING for something just like the clear stacked containers for my monstrous collection of jewelry....As a jewelry designer, I do a TON of shopping for jewels ( it's a problem, I call it research ha) and these stackables are going to be mine come this weekend! Seriously, I will post pics when it's set up...thanks for the tip! Might I add, I want to steal all your jewels displayed in the stackables :) honest confession hee hee

@Purple Paparazzi - Oh I'm so glad I could help! They're great because you can actually see what you have! x
@Sheree - Oh I just love the side tables too!
Love the clear containers idea! You are always so creative! Pinning this!
question about the clear containers for jewelry - do you know if this will cause oxidation of costume jewelry?? i am forever looking for a way to store all my stuff without risking discoloration.
So glad everything is coming together. Be sure to post pictures of the finished apartment!

Cute pictures! I love your transluctant jewelry box. Very handy. :)

Wonderful and Marvelous
sometimes all you need is a giant iced coffee :)
I'm having a hard time finding those boxes on the Container Store's site. Do you know what the item was called? They are exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks!
My mouth is watering just thinking about La Esquina! One of my faves..
Love that idea of storing jewelry! I've been seeking a solution for my own jewelry problem lol. :)
Keep calm and carry lipstick.
Love the jewelry. I just discovered a new Etsy store called "Darya Links". I think you would totally love it! I love the trendy styles they feature.

@Shadow - Thanks for the tip... I will definitely check Darya Links out! x

Thank you for posting this jewelry storage idea. I am always so stumped on this one!

Love the jewelry storage! I hate the idea of hanging everything so this is a much more viable option for me!
La Esquina is great and nothing beats some great iced coffee in nyc :)

OMG I am in love with those clear containers. I just started a Stella & Dot business (love me some Jewellery) and I need to control it somehow! This is a great idea. Plus it shows it off so nicely.
There are little papers that you can buy that counteract the oxidation. The plastic wouldn't be the problem unless it is trapping moisture. Humidity, perfumes, creames - all these things lead to increased oxidation, but it will happen over time anyways. To clean just use a mixture of baking soda and water.
The last pic makes me want to have a chocolate drink RIGHT NOW
@Jane - wow thanks that's great to know!
No problem. 3M makes the little papers and I have made the paste to clean some really tarnished silver jewellery and it worked awesome.
I love your "mini moments" posts, they are always so sweet!

I am in love with the jewelry storage! I am having the same problem as Sam. I would looove to buy a few of these to stack as pretty storage but can't find them on the website. Is there a specific name for them?
