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”.

MG Decor: Hollywood Glam Gift Boxes To Organize Your Desk Accessories

25 Apr, 2013 | Apartment City, MG Decor

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.

Last fall, I was lucky to receive New York Magazine’s Design Hunting home decor mag. I use this mag as a dream guide to give me ideas on decorating my apartment. One of the articles highlighted a woman who redecorated her super tiny apt on the Lower East Side using various items ranging from vintage to event swag. One item that stood out to me was a hanging bird cage she had purchased from PB Teen. YES, PB Teen!! I checked out their site and totes fell in love with their pretty preppy accessories.

Midtown Girl Decor: Pretty Plates As Wall Art

I’m still deciding on how to decorate my office wall. Wall art is so important bc not only do you have to look at it everyday, it should be something that offers inspiration & a positive visual aesthetic.

Last week I had the opp to visit the Kensie Clothing showroom in Midtown and in it had a wall covered in plates. Yes, plates. I never thought about hanging plates on a wall, but their showroom totes inspired me to try this in my apt. This is a great decor idea for NYC renters, since wall color is often a dilemma (most landlords want tenants to keep the standard ecru wall color – boring!). You can use any type/shape/designed plate (I would recommend a lightweight set) and can change the style as often as you want. How Midtown Chic is that?!

MG Decor: Affordable Black & White Framed Art

30 Aug, 2012 | Apartment City, MG Apartment, MG Decor

Art is a fabulush way to decorate your home office or living space but sometimes it can be costly. A great place to find affordable art is etsy and a new fav, 20×200. Another great, affordable option is to hang your personal/family photos or fashion inspirations. One of my fav ways of hanging art is to combine multiple small pieces into one main wall centerpiece. Using a a monochromatic color scheme with black & white photographs (with matching b&w frames), you can convert wall space into an uber chic custom masterpiece. Get to work dahlings!
