Every New York apartment should have decor that reflects a personal journey. Enter Novogratz new Brasil collection with CB2,  featuring pieces by design duo Bob and Cortney Novogratz.  The Brasil collection includes furniture, accessories, décor and lighting inspired by the Novogratz’s tree house vacation home in Trancoso, Brasil. At MG, we love bold colors & print, and this collection delivers on both. Check out MG’s fav pieces below…

If you love home decor as much as MG, then this will be fun. I randomly found this Ethan Allen* quiz during one of my 2am online shopping rituals and thought it was uber cute (and actually tapped into my design aesthetic). Super easy, you click on one of two pics shown through a series and at the end, you’ll find out your “signature design style”.

My fav way to organize a home office is with chic desk accessories. I use gift boxes to organize the inside of my desk drawers and to store beauty products. Since I like to display my fav beauty items & go-to accessories like statement bracelets & rings, I wanted something that was pretty, affordable & easy to change according to my decor mood. I found these Hollywood Glam gift boxes at my local 99 cents store. Yes, the 99 cents store (retail stores charge up to $10 for boxes like these, so I’m glad I got 2). They were a dollar each, look fabulush and when I get tired of the style (doubt it) I can change it as often as I wish.

Apt. MG hosted a ‘Girls’ Night In’ before a fun night out! Thanks to the folks at Smirnoff, I hosted a chic soiree in my apartment with some of my fav girls. Sometimes life can be super busy, so the theme of the eve was to bring together girlfriends I had not seen in a very long time to catch up on their lives, plan the evening’s activities, dine on delish bites and sip on yummy lo-cal cocktails. Check out how we spent the ‘Girl’s Night In’ at Apt. MG.

If you follow MG & my tweets, you’ll know how obsessed I’ve been about finding the perfect statement mirror for my apt. After changing my room decor 2 years ago, I had been on the search for an ornate gilt mirror that would match my decor mix of the French provincial & Hollywood regency styles. I searched for over a year on ebay, craigslist, vintage stores (online & offline) & etsy. I even searched on craigslist furniture lists from other cities.

Yes, I was that obsessed.
