Interiors

Right before we had James, we moved into a newly renovated apartment, and finished decorating it just in time for his arrival. I swore we wouldn’t be those parents whose entire apartment is taken over by toys. I swore we wouldn’t buy James that many toys. After all, they really only play with a few of them and prefer to just bang on pots and pans, I said. And then we had James, and two years later, our apartment is overflowing with toys.

An organized closet may seem more like a luxury than a necessity, especially if you live in NYC and having a closet is a luxury. But a well edited wardrobe is truly they key to flawless style, especially for those of us who barely have five minutes to think about what to wear, and the first step to editing your wardrobe is to clean out your closet and organize it in a way that makes getting dressed simple and easy.

If you’re like me, you have way too many shoes, and no intention of giving any of them up anytime soon, which is why for part two of my closet cleaning series, we’ll be tackling shoes. Since they take up most of my closet space, I need a good system for organizing them. While over-the-door storage is the space-saving arrangement that makes the most sense for small space dwellers, shelves and cubbies, or better yet a closet just of shoes, would be my ultimate pick were space not an issue, as it allows for you to easily see all your shoes. From there, I prefer to sort by type (pumps, flats, wedges, sandals, sneakers, boots, etc.) and then color-coordinate from there. Here are my favorite ideas and inspiration for organizing your shoes.
