How to Keep All Your Jewelry Organized!
We've all been there - reaching into your jewelry box to grab those great earrings you love you're in a tangled mess! Well here's a tip I've learned to keep all of my jewelry separated and organized in a cheap, chic way - Use a drawer organizer! I've picked up mine from a K-Mart and it was the best 7.99 I've ever spent! They look just like this one above and come with all of these individual compartments shown. I put all of my studs in one section, my bangel bracelets in another, fill it up and throw it in a drawer - that's it! Simple, easy, chic, inexpensive (Yay!) and works great. You can find these anywhere and they come in all shapes and sizes! Pick the one that suits your style and Viola - You are now Miss Organized!
Are you ready to LuLu online ???
We are so close I can smell it, here is a quick sneak peek of what it will look like !!!
How I do it....
I opened the first LuLu's in April 2005. What a long exciting, nail biting journey it has been. I left a successful technology career after thirteen years because I always new I was destined for something a little more exciting and something where I could use the knowledge that I had gained up until that point to do something for myself. I was tired of making other people successful, it was time to do it on my own. My definition of success is doing something I love, doing it well, trying my best to do good business and in turn it will allow me to support myself and my two young daughters.
Sometimes I do forget that each week I am honored with having new people come into our little shopping sanctuary. Some find us on Facebook, other people just wander in and some come because they saw an article or work with a LuLu obsessed fashionable friend.
I just wanted to take a few minutes to give everyone a crash course in LuLu. The number one question that I get asked each weekend is " Do you go to New York and get all of your stuff ? " and my answer is mostly No, I do go to New York, I have been there twice in the 7 years LuLu has been around. The truth is, most of the prices that you see in our shop is what is typically considered Wholesale to the Public. Here is a perfect example..
On Ebag right now the are selling the Red Lotus Bag from Mad Bags for 41.60
We are currently selling the same bag at LuLu's for 15.99 !!!
And that's not even a Sale Price. It is our everyday LuLu price.
So here is what is really happening at LuLu's and why we are a Three Time Winner of Philly's Hottest Accessories.
I work directly with vendors both stateside and overseas to buy their odds and ends. I always find the easiest explanation as saying, LuLu's is like a little teeny tiny TJ Maxx . I go in after the big buyers from companies like Chico's, Macy's and Express and claim my goods. At LuLu's I can stock just one of a particular item where as bigger retailers needs a large stock. Their pass overs are truly my treasures and because the manufactures want to close out their lots I can buy things for pennies on the dollar. The more pennies I have to spend, the more buying power I have, the more goodies for all, so please be a friend of LuLu and share the LuLu love, online, in person anyway you can !
Another great example of how I do what I do is my legendary Jewelry Boyfriend - he buys back things from stores like Target, Anthro,Ann Taylor and QVC.Items that don't sell , items that are customer returns that are in New with Tag condition and overstocks. He usually sells them in large lots to store like Tuesday Morning and other off price retailers but for some reason he and I have a great working relationship and he lets me come to his glorious warehouse and pick thru to find my treasures. That is why you will see Express Headband swith 16.99 price tags on our Dollar Wall. We have Jewelry Boyfriend to thank for that.
The only downside to how we do it is that most items we only have once. You truly need to buy it when you see it because of the way we buy we are not a traditional store that stocks our shelves deep of one style week after week. It also makes it tough for meto sell online because it takes a good chunk of time to get each item online and buy the time I do that, the piece is usually gone.
I always have some old fashion connections, magazine stylists, sales reps, business brokers that contact me to buy the contents from photo shoots, stores going out of business or sales reps samples. Those are usually my most coveted pieces. The ones that really have a super amount of sizzle.
It's truly a " you snooze you lose" experience that has made people line up at our doors on Friday mornings, that is when we are the most stocked, that is when we are usually at our FRESHEST.
And just one more thing, my name isn't LuLu - although I will gladly answer to it, LuLu is really my Chihuahua - but who really wants to shop at a place called " Jill's " Thank you for supporting me, loving LuLu's like you do and being a kindered accessory obsessed soul mates that keep my life so colorful and have let me stay at Booths Corner this long, if not for you, I would have to get a real job !!!

Working on my next article....
My Everyday Outift by Jillian Henenberg Ehrlich featuring rhinestone rings
Here is a little sneak peak of next month's article for the Women's Journal.
I recently read an article about picking one outfit you would wear every day for five days if no one saw you. I picked mine, they change all of the time but if you know me or have been out with me lately you will attest that most of my outfits are a some variety of a black jacket, white tank and capri denim. I can achieve many many looks with those three basic pieces by adding character with the accessories I choose.
Make sure to pick up the June/July issue of the Women's Journal to read more.

Break the Rules ..but Do Not Eat !
Look Familiar ? Believe it or not, you should be as excited about these little packets of goodness as you are about the new item (hopefully, a new handbag from LuLu's ) you just found these little bags of silica in.
Next time one is in your hand, think of me, Jill aka LuLu - and here are a few things that you can do with them..
1. My favorite and most useful is to place them in the drawer or organizer that you store your jewelry in. The silica pulls the moisture away from the jewelry helping it to keep is sparkle. This also works on Silverware.
2. Tuck them in with your favorite photos, you can even place them in the back of your framed photos.
3. Throw a few into your automobile's glovebox - you may need a few for this but they will actually help with window fogging - I will admit I have no idea how to work my defoggers but this definitely helps cut through the fog !
Happy Dehumidifying !
