GIVEAWAY AND REVIEW: ABSOLUTELY AUDREY AFFORDABLE SHOE CLIPS

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!
After seeing my Get Crafty: Fab Feet Shoe Clips post from awhile back, a lovely company I had taken note of a year or so ago, Absolutely Audrey, recently contacted me about pairing up for a review and giveaway for my readers!
I got to try a pair of their Gia Fuchsia Flower and popular Milan Multi-Colored Cluster Shoe Clips, and have to say that from the packaging right down to the clips themselves, they are classy and super adorable!
Check out just a few of the many options they have, including those I tried . . .

1. Fuchsia Flower Gia Shoe Clips

Absolutely Audrey - $12

2. Rhinestone Celine Shoe Clips

Absolutely Audrey - $30

3. Gold Victoria Shoe Clips

Absolutely Audrey - $8

4. Multi-Colored Vienna Shoe Clips

Absolutely Audrey - $20

5. Multi-Colored Cluster Milan Shoe Clips

Absolutely Audrey - $18.75

Not only are they multi-functional, but they are super affordable, too, which you know I love!  
I have always loved shoe clips, not only for their traditional use, to instantly turn a simple pair of shoes into something unique and fabulous, but also to spruce up endless other things like . . .

• Dress
• Swimsuit
• Tank Top
• Clutch
• Travel Bag
• Throw Pillow
• Gift Bow / Bag
• Hair Accessory

. . . the options are truly endless, so, Get Crafty!

Now, it's time for the GIVEAWAY!  Yay!!!
Absolutely Audrey is giving away a pair of one of their most popular ones, the Milan Multi-Colored Cluster Shoe Clips, which I have as well, so, we can be twins! :)
This is open to everyone and will remain open for one week, through May 7th, with a winner being picked at random on May 8th and posted here and on my Facebook and Twitter!  Good luck!

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! (image)
