A bright key ring with trendy fringe makes keeping tabs on your keys an exercise in effortlessness. Want to really put those scatterbrained days behind you? Put a key dish or hook by the door and make sure that’s the first place they go when you walk through the door.
9. Helen Levi Ocean Dish ($30): Get your bits and bobs into gear by bringing a bit of order to your stash of accessories and baubles. Decorative ring dishes are great for organizing earrings, rings and statement-making pins, plus they’ll add a touch of color to your dresser top.
10. Ban.do Stay Focused Pouch ($12): Keeping an eye on your purchases is a whole lot easier if you hang on to receipts (and we’re not talking crumpling them up and forgetting about them in your pockets). Collect them in a cute pouch or pint-sized clutch, then review them at the end of the week.
