If you are an average woman, you probably have more than one pair of shoes. If you are a stereotypical woman, you probably have a love of shoe shopping.
Me? I wish I could be: a) Imelda Marcos (for her famed collection of shoes); with b) Mariah Carey's gorgeous walk-in closet that has space for her many pairs of shoes! and c) own a branded shoe shop so that as proprietress, I'd get to swipe a pair of every latest design that came through my doors. Wuahahaha. Okay, enough of my fantasies. Back to reality.
Now, I have so many pairs of shoes currently (about 20+ pairs, give or take a few) that there simply isn't enough cabinet space to display them and the majority is stored in the boxes they came in and stacked in the storeroom. It's not cluttered, but finding the right pair of shoes is getting to be a problem unless it happens to be one of a brand (which is rare because most of my shoes are from the same brands). So I often spend some time opening and closing shoeboxes every morning in an attempt to find the right pair. A bit frustrating and not the way I want to start my mornings!
Anyways, I read about these nifty shoeboxes on Karen Cheng's blog recently and they seem like the perfect solution to my shoebox woes.
See? Clear, see through shoeboxes that let you see which pair is inside which box and a sliding drawer function that makes grabbing the perfect pair to match your outfit a breeze.
Find out more about the Benjibox here, as well as a full price list. (Each shoebox costs AUD 9.95 and the price reduces according to the package you select.) The only thing that's stopping me from getting some for myself is the price (AUD vs my MYR at a multiple of close to 3x) and international shipping charges. :o(
I wonder if I can find a local alternative?

oh so pretty, and oh so out of my budget... :(
not sure if it's the same thing, but Vincci now has a giveaway of a plastic shoebox with purchases over a certain amount (just happened to glance when I walked past a couple of days ago)
I first read of plastic boxes for shoes in Karen Cheng's blog too!
These plastic boxes sure are handy, but too expensive for me. I bought very similar plastic boxes (instead of sliding out, it's closed just like a normal cardboard box) at the $2 dollar store for, well, $2 each! :)
That's a lot cheaper than the Benjiboxes.
beetrice: I agree with you! It's so pretty and so out of my budget too. :o( But oooh, I shall check out Vincci then... hopefully they're a local & cheap alternative.
tine: Karen's got a pretty good eye for stuff, methinks. *grin* Oh, that's cheap! But... you got it at the $2 dollar store in Aussie and I'm not there! Hehehe.
I'm sold! Where do I sign? hehe...
seriously though...expensive la...and it will also take up space wor...I need a solution to keep all my shoes neatly. I need extra space.
giddy tigress: I know.... I'm sold on it too! But oh so expensive... not unless I earn in AUD can I get 'em...
hey,Rinnah,got to know about you from GiddyTigers so I drop by to say Hi. Hope to see you this Sun if DH decides that we shall not be going back to FIL's.
And wow...what cool looking shoe boxes !! They just about stopped me in my tracks !
allthingspurple: Hi! Thanks for stopping by to say hello. :o) I'd love to meet you in person this Sunday if your schedule permits!
They're cool, aren't they? I'm still dreaming about them since I can't find a local alternative...
