Into the Closet

BY Elfya Van Muylem - shuzsociety.com

you have your shoes all over the floor, underneath, inside and on top of your closet? Are your sandals and flip flops still thrown in some forgotten beach bag? And whatever happened to those Christian Leboutins that you bought for a wedding and would wear for the next gala evening?

I know, I know, why would you want to be spending money on shoe storage if you can spend money on an extra pair of shoes? The answer to that question is - if you don’t see your shoes, you won’t wear them and you will end up spending more money on shoes that you most probably had a similar pair of already.

So let’s put a plan together by which you will know exactly which shoes you have and an easy way to access them.

Step 1

Re-assess, then donate. If you have not worn your shoes for over a year, it might be that they are just “not you” any longer. Donate them to a worthy cause as www.soles4souls.org . Not only will you create extra space in your closet, you will make a substantial difference in someone’s life.

Step 2

Pare down your shoes and divide them by season and style. For instance sort your summer and winter shoes separately. Divide your day shoes, sport shoes and evening shoes.

Step 3

Think about the shoes that you will wear more often and store them where they are easily accessible. Extendible shoe racks that you can either put on the floor or on a shelf are an ideal solution. They expand from 24″ to 44″; a single rack accommodates up to 13 pairs of women’s shoes and 9 pairs of men’s.

Step 4

Get shoe racks that can be stacked. You never know how many more shoes you will get over the years. Go to www.containerstore.com

Step 5

You most probably won’t be wearing your evening shoes every day; put them in clear plastic boxes on the top shelves. Use boxes that can be stacked. Put the shoes that you will wear the least in the bottom box but always make sure you can see them www.clear-shoe-boxes.com

An alternative is to use the existing shoeboxes and put a Polaroid of your shoes on the front of the box.

Step 6

Use the extra vertical space in your closet and maximize your closet’s storage potential with the hanging canvas shoe rack. It attaches to any size closet rod with a Velcro fastener and is an ideal solution to store your sneakers, flip flops and sandals

Step 7

Use adjustable boot shapers to prevent your boots from falling over, creasing, cracking or bagging – www.containerstore.com

An economical alternative to keep your boots in shape is to stuff them with socks or crumpled brown bags

back into the closet

With fall’s arrival, it’s seriously time to stick away summer’s sandals, and pull out the boots and cooler-weather wares. Now that you’ve reassessed your collection and have donated the undesirables (you DID donate, didn’t you?), you’re ready to reorganize. shuzsociety has compiled a list of goodies from the storage guru’s at StacksandStacks.com to help you set up your fantastic closet for fall.

good things in small packages A pretty, yet practical, solution for your shoes comes in the form of a collapsible nylon box. Each stackable box will store a pair of your favorite shoes with a quaint little window for you to view them – ALL the time. At $18 a pop, snag several boxes to beautify your closet in a hurry. Bonus, you’ll save a dollar on the Polaroid pic you won’t have to tape on

Coming out from the Closet ~ A Tulsa Treasure

June 23rd, 2008

Tulsa, Oklahoma. Credited as the birthplace of Route 66, the home of Western Swing music, and once dubbed the Oil Capital of the World, Tulsa has accomplished quite a lot since becoming a state a little more than 100 years ago. And this past weekend T-town paired philanthropy, footwear and friends for the 2nd annual “Wine, Women and Shoes” event.

High Heeled Art

July 3rd, 2008

Ever wandered into an art gallery and saw something that you thought “Wow, that’s how I feel; that’s me” over and over again? Mark Schwartz takes everything I love about shoes (and I think we ALL love something about shoes) and two dimensionally conveys the movement, whimsy, and emotional attachment in a style all his own.

“I have always been fascinated by the shoe: the shape, the movement; shoes create a mood all of their own, they scream sex, they are whimsical and for me they take on another life in my paintings,” says Schwartz. Check out more of his works of sexy shoe art here!
