Before there were jewelry armoires there were only jewelry boxes. There was a number of them, but they really couldn’t hold the quantity and variation of costume jewelry that women have today.

Powell, a furniture importer either conceived of the idea or purchased an overseas designed jewelry armoire to retail for over $500. The Powell jewelry armoire which was sold in the late 1980’s had drawers and doors which opened from the side.

The Powell jewelry armoire was so popular that it immediately was copied in many variations. Mechanical Mirror Works, Inc. designed one of all mirrors, doors and drawers.

At about the same time a cheval mirror was introduced with the mirror portion opening up for storage (undefined).

QVC began importing a cheval mirror with a door, but the insides were designed for jewelry storage as a jewelry armoire. This QVC designed jewelry armoire with its mirror door and jewelry storage features inside sold more than 300,000 pieces at prices varying from $145 to $175.

Mirrotek seeing a need for a jewelry armoire with a mirrored full length door designed and is presently manufacturing a piece to hang over the door, saving a great deal of space and priced to be competitive with the imported from China piece.

7 Wardrobe Mistakes Career Women Make

By Sheila Dicks (as posted at www.classyluxuryhandbags.com)

1. Lots of Clothes Nothing to Wear:
Most women only wear 20 percent of their clothes, leaving the other eighty percent hanging in their closets . . .

2. Knowing How They Really Look:
If you don’t have or use a full-length mirror, then you may not know how you really look when you leave home. A full-length mirror is a must have for a woman who wants to look her best and know how she looks from head-to-toe. If you rely on a mirror that only shows you from the waist up you are missing out on the full picture. It is the full view that will let you see if something is not right, out of proportion or will let you know you look great.

3. Looking Dowdy:
. ….If you wear clothes that were fashionable or trendy ten years ago you could be damaging your credibility.

4. Making Bad Clothing Choices:
When you are at work dress appropriately. The latest trends are not always appropriate for work. . . .

5. Wearing Unflattering Clothing:
You can look great no matter what size or shape you are. . .

6. Wearing the Wrong Shoes:
Wearing the wrong shoes for your outfit . . .

7. Wearing the Wrong Color Stockings:
Choosing the right stockings for your outfit is very important. . . .

The cleopatra beauty center was designed to replace the standard vanity mirror or dressing table. It is shaped like a lipstick mirror and available in a variety of upholstery finishes including denim (jeans), brocade and for the wild….faux leopard fur. It has a seat or stool that has wheels so that you can move it as close as you want to the swing down make up table. Well, my daughter has started storing shoes in the seat. Surprisingly, it holds many shoes.

At about 14″ in diameter and 62″ high the tilt on this mirror means even the tall people can see their reflection.
