My boyfriend made me the lovely shoe display below:

It’s especially great because it fits in a tiny space between our fitted wardrobe and the wall.

Want to know how to make it? It’s really easy.

All you need are :

-Cup Hooks

We got ours from Homebase for £3.99 a pack (contains 25) You can buy the same pack here.

-A Dowel

Again we got ours from Homebase, it was £4.99 and over 2 metres long, you can buy the same one here.

So for less than £10.00 you can make your own shoe display rack. What are you waiting for?

Sometimes when you work you think of prices in terms of hours, for example ‘those shoes will cost me 5 hours pay’. I recommend this style of thinking if you need to look after your pennies because when you think of the hard work you have done to earn your money when you are considering a purchase it really curbs your spending.

Well in most cases it does, but if you happen to shop at Shelikes.com thinking in terms of ‘price vs. hours’ probably won’t put you off your purchase.

That’s because they have just introduced ‘ The Minimum Wage Dress.’

This dress costs just £3.68 ($5.68) (€4.30) (Prices converted on 20th June 2013) In the U.K £3.68 is the minimum wage for under 18s so for minimum earning 16 and 17 year olds this dress costs one hour’s pay. The dress is supplied to shelikes.com by Figa Store.

It comes in 4 colours as shown below:

The dress is described by www.shelikes.com as :

The Minimum Wage Dress – Only £3.68! A dress worth keeping! This spectacular cut out dress is the perfect choice for all your summer occasions. Featuring a cut out design & knot detail. Versatile & easy to wear, team with colour popping heels for the evening, or wear with hi top trainers & a customary denim jacket for the day.

Approx Length – 28.5″ (72.5cm)

95% Polyester 5% Elastane

Machine Washable

So what are you’re thoughts on all this? Do you think it is a wonderful idea? Do you wonder about the profit made on this dress? Would you like to know how the company can sell it so cheap? Do you think more companies should be selling items like this? What do you think about the dress itself? Do you like the style? The colours? Should they broaden the range of Minimum Wage Dresses available?

Also what are your thoughts on different age groups having different minimum wages? Personally I think it is very unfair, if you do a job I think you should be paid as much as the other people who do the same job, age should not be a factor. Do you agree/disagree? I would love to get your comments about this.

Also if you are looking for some make up, E.L.F are doing some great discounts codes at the moment, see below.

To top it all off Dorothy Perkins are giving you an extra 15% off their final clearance sale online.

How To Organise Jewellery and Handbags

How To Organise Jewellery and Handbags

Hey everyone. I finally got my jewellery and handbags organised in a way that I like. It’s tidy and shows me everything at a glance which makes it really easy to choose what to wear. Take a look below.

All you need to do this is :

A long hollow pole

String or Twine

Shower curtain hooks

All you need to do is thread the string through the hollow pole and then tie the ends to make a loop. I then placed the looped poles over some shelves in my room but if you don’t have shelves then you could hang them any way you want, maybe on a nail like hanging a picture.

After you have hung the poles just hook the shower curtain hooks to the pole and then hang your jewellery or your handbags from the hooks. Easy 🙂

I also used the poles to hang some random things that are difficult to find places for such as sunglasses and earphones.

Not only is this a good way to organise your things but it also looks really pretty and decorative.

For me, it was best to hang my longest necklaces and my rigidly round necklaces from the poles. For my other shorter necklaces I use the stand below which I bought a few years ago from Ebay.

For my earrings I use a matching stand which I also bought a few years ago from Ebay.

If you like you could hang bracelets and bangles from the poles but I liked to only put bracelets on the poles which matched necklaces already on the poles. For all other bracelets I use a black T-bar display which you can see at the top of the first image in this post.

So let me know what you think. Would you do this? Or do you already organise your things in a cool way?
