GET CRAFTY: DIY CLUTCH ORGANIZER USING KITCHEN LID RACK


Happy Monday, Blogland!

For those of you in the US, today is Tax Day, so, be sure your taxes are postmarked! :)

A midst my move to New York City, while out and about shopping for things I needed for my new place, I stumbled upon a Lid Rack in the kitchen aisle at Target for about $6.99 each.

For some reason, and maybe because I don't cook...hehe...I immediately thought...

Why couldn't I put my clutches in it instead, to keep them organized
and standing upright in my closet?

So, I purchased one to test out my little idea, and sure enough it worked perfectly!  Love it when I try to get crafty and it actually works! :)  

It was too simple and affordable not to share with all of you, so, here is my little DIY Clutch Organizer!  Enjoy, and feel free to share your ideas in the comments below!
Lid Rack: Target - $6.99 (similar)

| POST UPDATE - AUGUST 2017 |


This Lid Rack is still available, but the price has increased to $7.99.  More important, I want to thank EVERYONE for all of the support on this post! 

I had NO idea this little idea, that I randomly had 4 years ago while in the kitchen aisle at Target, was going to go viral and be so useful to so many people around the world.

That, plus being published in Woman's World Magazine and featured on Good Housekeeping, Buzzfeed, Yahoo, MSN and many more wonderful sites, has made this an unexpected and lovely journey, Thank You!

SATURDAY SAYINGS: LIFE, REMINDERS AND ALL THINGS THAT ARE SO RELEVANT TO ME


Happy Saturday, Everyone!

I hope your weekend is off to a relaxing start!  It is a beautiful, spring day here in NYC and I'm off to meet some friends for a low-key afternoon adventure! :)

This week, I pulled some quotes about life, which I think are important reminders, as well, and each happens to be perfectly relevant to me personally!

Enjoy, and I'll be back on Monday with a fun and super simple DIY!

REVIEW: E-SHAKTI CUSTOMIZABLE SPRING FASHION FOR REAL PEOPLE + PROMO CODE


Happy Monday, Fashionable Friends!

I recently teamed up with the lovely and customizable clothing company, eShakti, to review and help promote their affordable clothing line.  It was so nice that they chose me as one of their bloggers to try out their new spring dress line!

Below are some pictures from the shoot, taken in my little Manhattan apartment, sporting their Black & White Floral Embellished Dot Print Dress, that they so kindly and perfectly had customized just for me! :)  I simply love the feminine cut, flirty style and comfortable ease of the dress!  

When asking how I would like it customized, I requested to have the hem fall just at my knee, and taper in the most around the empire of my waist.  They took all my measurements, created it and sent it right to my front door in less then a week!  

Their customization is perfect, no matter what your height or body type, which is what I love most, especially, since I'm on the taller side and length is key for me!

They were also kind enough to offer all Fabulous Fashion 4 Sensible Style readers a 20% OFF promo code: FF4SS towards any order to help make things even more affordable, which I love! :)  

Thank you, eShakti for being such a wonderful affiliate, support and company! Happy Shopping! :)

MUSIC: NEW EP FROM ANNIE DRESSNER AND HER SINGLE "HEARTBREAKER"


Happy Saturday, Everyone!

The lovely Annie Dressner is back with a NEW EP album titled East Twenties, which refers to her roots in New York City, coming out this Monday, April 8th.  She was kind enough to give me an advanced copy of it to review!

Her songs continue to deliver that indie folk feel with a lot of heart behind them, which makes them relatable.  She is not only a singer-songwriter, but plays the guitar, too, which I love, that blends with her unique and natural talent!

A fun, little piece of trivia is that the artwork was drawn by Annie when she was 2 years old!  If you look closely, you'll see a clown standing on one hand! :)

She also included her single titled "Heartbreaker"  for me to share will all of you!  Check out her new single below and let me know what you think!  

I'll be back on Monday with a spring line fashion post from my e-Shakti dress shoot, which was so much fun!

MUSIC: A LITTLE TUNE WITH WHICH I'M OBSESSED


Happy, Happy Monday and April, Everyone!

I suppose I should call today Music Monday...maybe a new thing! :)

I hope you all had a lovely Easter, and thank you for all your sweet comments over on my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter while I've been a wee bit busy...you are all something else! 

I know I haven't posted here quite as often as I used to, due to work and and life, but I am quite happy right now and loving NYC more than words can express! Yay!

It has been a whirlwind of music, shows, artists, some of whom I saw perform in LA and am now working and chilling with, in between lots of New York City adventures, oh how I love living downtown! :)

This past week, my boss sent me Twin Falls, now called Twin Forks, rough cut album to listen to and give my thoughts, you may know the lead singer from the very successful, award winning band, Dashboard Confessional

Well, let's just say I'm obsessed with the music, especially "Scraping Up The Pieces," which I'm posting for your listening pleasure!  The other songs are just fantastic, can't wait till you can all hear them!  

We'll be working with them in Europe, and I'm looking forward to lots more great music from them and the other lovely groups with which we are joining forces!  I started out in music over a decade ago and never knew I'd be back in it, but oh how happy I am to be back! :)

Enjoy, and don't for get that today is April Fool's Day...so, be careful! ;)

"Scraping Up The Pieces"  by Twin Falls, now Twin Forks.




SIDE NOTE: For all you baseball fans, today is opening day...Let's Go Yankees!!! :)
