HELPFUL ITEMS FOR THE HOME & 7 CLASSIC SPRING OUTFITS
Keeping Me Organized
I am always looking for ways to be more organized, and in this post and video I feature a collection of tools that I would not be without in the office, kitchen, and bedroom closet. If you have any questions about any of them, please feel free to ask in the comments section at the bottom of this post. All are so useful!
7 Outifts: Timeless Pieces Wearable Now and Later Into The Summer
Also in this post and video is a roundup of dresses, separates, and accessories from Lilly Pulitzer, Burberry, J.McLaughlin, Talbots, Ralph Lauren, and more. Some items I have bought in the last few months and others I have had for years–and if you are interested, I will link to the exact item or something very similar, under each of the seven outfits below.
Because all are classic styles that will not go out of fashion, they will continue to easily mix and match with other pieces in your wardrobe for years to come.
(Note: I’m 5’8” tall; XXS, XS or 0-2 most tops; size 2, 4 or S most bottoms; size 27 most jeans; size 9.5-10 most shoes)
To see all of my finds, simply scroll down the page. My YouTube video is at the bottom of this post.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. 🙂

Scenes From The Video
Helpful Home Finds:
Office Accessories
(ABOVE) This Erasable Refillable Ink Pink is indispensable for putting new entries in my (BELOW) Address Book and Password Book. While it writes just like a regular pen, the ink erases easily–and without damaging the paper on which I’ve written. It is perfect for erasing and updating old passwords and addresses in paper books!
(ABOVE) Rose Gold iPad Cover, Address Book, and Password Book. These are from two different companies but they look so pretty together. (BELOW) The iPad Cover also serves as a handy stand. Oh, and by the way, I have accidentally tipped this iPad off of a tray table a few times–onto a hardwood floor–and thanks to this cover it has never gotten damaged.
Gingiberi 18K Gold and Natural Diamond Earrings (use code Janis15 for 15% off)
Jewelry Helpers
(ABOVE) This Ring Sizing Set is so helpful for finding out the size of any ring or (BELOW) the ring size of my fingers.
Wardrobe Helper
(ABOVE) I bought this Leather Hole Punch in 2016 and have used it multiple times to add neat and perfect holes to belts. It is very easy to operate!
Kitchen Helper
(ABOVE) Set of 2 Kitchen Timers. I depend on this gadget so very much. You can use one to time a dish in the oven and the other to time a pot or kettle on the stove. Take them both with you wherever you go in your home, and you won’t need to worry that you can’t hear a timer going off in the kitchen! A magnet on the back makes it easy to attach to a metal surface. It also has a loop on the back, so you can hang it from a small hook.
