Review: Out There Interiors Vintage Cake Stand.

Vintage Chintz Cake Stand: £39.00*

It was a while ago (nearly a year ago, in fact!), but some of you may remember me starting a mini series on my jewellery collection and storage. I showed you how I keep my rings, earrings and necklaces together but I never got round to showing you my bracelets as, to be honest, they were always just flung across my desk, and that wouldn't have made for a very good blog post.

I had always liked the idea of having a pretty china dish to keep my bracelets in, but I could never find one that really stood out to me in charity or vintage shops. However, whilst browsing online at the stunning furniture on Out There Interiors, I spotted this cute little cake stand and I thought it was perfect! It is made up of three antique-style porcelain plates, each donning its own pretty floral design, suspended on a sturdy rose-gold support which makes the stand appear a lot more expensive than it actually is. After some stellar handy man skills on my part (okay, the assembly really wasn't difficult- you just have to screw all the parts together, no extra tools required!) it was all ready to go!

I quite like the look of having my bracelets all thrown on to the plates with no specific organisation, but I keep my watches, chunkier bracelets and my most worn ones on the large bottom tier for ease of access, my smaller/beaded bracelets on the middle tier and the top tier is home to my hair bands which I vow will never go missing again (first world girl problems, eh?)! I think it makes such a pretty display on my little cabinet stood next to my shabby chic jewellery tree.

Out There Interiors not only stocks lots of quirky little home deco pieces like this (a lot of which I have fallen in love with; they've broadened my dream of moving in to my own cosy little place so that I can decorate to my heart's content), but also a huge range of gorgeous French furniture including cabinets, beds, wardrobes and coffee tables. It's a fabulous website, and you can check it out here.

My Jewellery Collection and Storage: Rings and Earrings.

So I know I said I was back in my last post, but I have been a naughty blogger and have been off the radar again for five days! The past week has been a battle for me, but life would be boring without nightmare ex-boyfriends, bitchy, rumour-spreading girls and the odd family mishap, right?

Anyway, I'm going to try and put those things to the back of my mind and get my head back in to my blogging routine! Today I have for you the second installment of my jewellery collection and storage series; earrings and rings! I am doing them both in one post as I keep them stored together :)

Like my necklace hanger (see my necklace storage post), this little jewellery tree is another eBay bargain. I bought mine for about £6.50, but the seller doesn't appear to have them anymore :( however I have found the same one from another seller going for a not-too-shabby £7.95 here. I believe that if you do a quick eBay search, there are also black and pink versions available. I love this jewellery tree, it matches my necklace holder well and I love the way it looks once it has all my earrings hanging off it- I keep all my earrings on the branches and put my rings in to the handy little bowl at the base. Unfortunately I did run out of space for my stud earrings, but I just throw those in to the bowl too.

My Jewellery Collection and Storage: Necklaces

I asked earlier on Twitter if you would be interested in seeing my jewellery collection and how I store it, and a few of you expressed an interest so here it is! I will be doing it as a series to separate it all up a little, starting with my necklaces :)

Before I organised my jewellery, my necklaces were either kept in a jewellery box or laid out across my desk, meaning they were always getting in the way or getting tangled up in each other. When you have a lot of necklaces this can become to be very annoying, so I decided it was time to invest in a wall hanger for them. I got this wire "My Necklaces" hanger from this eBay seller. I love shabby chic furniture and I think this fits in well, and even better, it only cost £5.75 with free postage, and it arrived within two days! I distribute my necklaces randomly across the pegs (I like how some of them hang lower than others) and it keeps them from getting tangled and they are all visible and easy to find. I only keep my costume/fashion jewellery on this hanger- my more valuable and precious necklaces stay in my jewellery box.
