Like I said, minimalism is not my thing

So this bookshelf isn't something you would find in the home of a Puritan, minimalist, transcendentalist, bibliophile, etc.. but it does offer lots of spaces for the wandering eye.

I used a a bookshelf from Ikea to display a few of my favorite possessions beyond the books...it's playful and adds pops of color to the room. It reminds me of a kindergartner stashing their show-and-tell item in their designated cubby hole---without the whole baby-wipe-smell going on.

In between I did a merch display. I love clutches and can't bring myself to stuff them in a closet... they are much more beautiful here and admired afar.

I love trains, the idea of traveling in a time when it was considered glamorous, and of course the vintage luggage that comes along with it. I found a train travel case in the Little Ethiopia District of L.A. for $5. I store all my tights, scarves, and gloves in here for it to spill out. 

I love these sneakers that I found  in NYC. The poppy orange and lilac make me burst into a color-happy-coma.

I used cookie jars from Ikea to store my belts. They play on the whole candy jar thing and are organized and visible for me to remember to wear, too.
