necklace storage?

I need some storage ideas ladies. Because I live in a rented house with an asshole of a landlord, we are not allowed to put ANYTHING on the walls, doors etc. I desperately needed somewhere to hang my necklaces though so I bought some sticky hooks and put them up on the inside of my closet doors so that when we have inspections they don't get seen. This is no longer an option because I have way too many necklaces and not enough space for hooks, as it is I have about 10 necklaces per hook. I've looked into those cute little necklace holder jewellery box type things but they won't work because most of my necklaces are long, I keep my shorter, expensive necklaces in the boxes they came in. My storage is similar to the image below...

So I want to know, how do you store your necklaces? Especially longer necklaces?

my messy closet

I need to make my closet look something like this. Neat, tidy, co-ordinated, ORGANISED. My closet is such a mess at the moment that I literally forget about clothes, shoes and accessories that I have because I never see them to think about wearing them.

I only have a very small closet and like I said in my last post, I'm considering turning our spare room into my make up room/ clothes room. May be a bit difficult though as there is a pool table in our spare room and I know my boyfriend will not part with that. The simple fact is; I NEED MORE STORAGE SPACE.

I saw a couple of bigger houses for rent today that I'm very interested in and the lease on this shit hole runs up next month so I will be applying for them and praying I get them. One even has a backyard! That would make me so so happy!

I decided to put up a picture of my closet as it is at the moment and I will be cleaning it out tomorrow and will post an 'after' picture tomorrow night. Wish me luck, it's going to be a loong day tomorrow :)

This is my closets current state. It's hard to find anything, there's no order. My shoes have started to line my walls because there's nowhere to put them. As you can see, I do not share with my boyfriend. He has a tallboy. The only thing of his hanging in the closet is a suit or two lol.

If anyone has any suggestions on a good method of cleaning out/re organising, please let me know.

How do you organise your closet? By colour, by garment type? In no particular order?

updated wishlist

This is just a blog of a few things I've been lusting after lately. Most of these things are very unlikely but anyways, here goes...

I have been wanting a pair of nude heels for a long, long time. I cannot find a pair of them anywhereee. But I will keep searching. Anyone have any ideas of where I can get a pair?

I'm in love with this top and absolutely kicking myself for not buying one when I went to GaGa!

IN LOVE with these. Must have for my winter wardrobe.

I really want one of these illuminating double sided mirrors, but to be honest I don't really have anywhere to keep one.

Love this. It's so beautiful. Very expensive and yet again. Nowhere to put it again, and I know I won't get it, but I want it!

I have always wanted a birdcage umbrella and this one actually has a birdcage design on it! I can't find any except on ebay and they're around $50 and it doesn't rain enough here for me to spend that much on something I will barely use but how pretty is it!

I've read a lot about this primer and it is supposed to be fantastic for minimising pores which would be good for me as my cheek pores are quite large. I will definitely be buying this soon.

Heartbeat headphones; These are absolutely gorgeous, way prettier than the ugly ipod headphones and they're tangle proof which is something that defintiely appeals to me. You can also buy a version that has volume control and song skipping on the actual headphones so you don't have to fish around your bag for your ipod which is such a good idea. Props to GaGa for designing/inventing these! Definitely something I will be purchasing when I have a spare $160.

I need something like this to store my earrings, necklaces and braclet/bangles. Currently my earrings are hanging on a vase and they always fall off. My necklaces are hanging up on some stick on hooks in my closet and always get tangled and my braclet/bangles live in a cute little basket but it's so inconvenient. No clue where to buy these things though.

Law & Order SVU is my favourite show in THE WORLD. I have the first 9 seasons on dvd and I really want/need season 10. No idea why I haven't bought it yet but it's on my list.

I would love somewhere like this to store my masses of magazines. As I mentioned earlier, I like to keep all my magazines and I am running out of space to keep them. I don't have the space or the means to create something like this but god I love it!

This is one of the most unlikelies on my list. A backyard. I did not realise how much I would miss having a backyard when I moved out of home. I've said before, but I live in a little flat and the extent of the backyard is literally like one square metre of concrete. I miss the feeling of grass under my barefeet, and just sitting outside with a book and a coffee. One of the reasons I wanna move into a new place this year is so I can have a place with some friggen grass!

I would DIE for a closet like this. My closet is just one of those with a double door, hanging space and 2 shelves. The cupboard is actually overflowing with clothes and shoes. I use the cupboard in the spare room to hang all my belts, hats and bags and that's full too. I need to clean out my closet but even then, it will still be overflowing. I have always, always wanted a walk in robe and an ensuite. Hopefully one day :)

I have been searching for some kind of really large dvd storage for ages. Most things are too small or just the wrong size. Something like this would be perfect as my boyfriend and I have over 400 dvds and nowhere to keep them. Makes finding something to watch a pain in the ass.

I love this vanity. Most vanitys I find are the vintage ones and I really prefer more modern furniture. I've been considering turning our spare room into a make-up room and this would go perfect in there. It's just a matter of fidning somewhere to buy it as this was just on some random google site with no infromation.

And that is my wishlsit part 2. Hope you all enjoyed my (far fetched) lust items =)
