Orla Kiely Housewares for Target

If you can hold out until the first week of February to start organizing, you'll be rewarded with the retro fabulous goodness that is the Orla Kiely housewares collection for Target. One word: Love. Reminds me of the funky mellow fruit wallpaper everyone used to have in their kitchens back in the day. I think the two-tier serving tray would be the perfect place to store perfume bottles, or possibly jewelry. More pics after the jump. Are you looking forward to this line for your home?

A reader recently asked me for some inexpensive ways to organize her closet, and to be honest, I should be the one asking for advice in that department! Nonetheless, getting my wardrobe organized is one of my top priorities this year, so I will share what works for me as I go along. In the meantime, I thought I'd share some photos taken by my highly-organized and very stylish friend, Liz, which demonstrate her creativity and resourcefulness when it comes to organizing jewelry. Hmm...maybe I should just hire her to clean up my mess? How do you keep your jewelry organized?
