Welcome Sponsor: ZGallerie

As the holidays grow closer I am getting so excited to have family in to visit me in NYC. So naturally, I just can't resist adding a few little accessories here and there to pep up my pad. Where I always turn...why ZGALLERIE of course! They are always on the cutting edge of design trends so when I need something last minute, they are always a great source.

Because most of my apartment is grey, black and white, I fell instantly for this chevron ottoman, its perfect for extra seating. I also love this Dynasty Mirror, it adds a touch of modern chinoiserie.

And when It comes to holiday decorating, I would go for a few sparkly things...

 madera decorative plate. skull. twilight tealight. silver bark candles.

For the people that I cherish (and maybe for myself too) I'd love to snap these bits + baubles up too.

domino set. Emma painting. eiffel tower flutes. camera. grace headboard.

The Art of Living...decorating moments of masculinity

Just like any other decorista, I go crazy for a bold and feminine room...

however, mixing in some masculinity into an interior can create such a perfect harmony.

It's almost too good to resist.

An easy way to pop in a gentleman's vibe is by using amazing taxidermy, 

aka well mounted antlers.

Decorating with antlers is major unabashed masculinity and I highly recommend trying it.

If you can't stand the sight of real life anters, Zgallerie has a great collection of plastered white ones that are also incredibly chic. Check out their latest collection.

{Please note that this look can easily be overdone. So limit your creativity to soft panache.}

Zgallerie boot umbrella stand {my entryway}

I am absolutely obsessed with my Zgallerie boot umbrella stand. It sits so perfectly in my apartment entryway. Honestly, the minute I laid eyes on that fella, I just knew I had to have one.

Every person that walks in my apartment door just gushes over it. Cute and affordable home decor, what's better?

I also strongly suggest grouping together a collection of vintage gold ornate frames...
(easy to find at your local thrift)
and grouping them on your wall for instant impact!!!!
Did all of this for less than 25$. A steal.

my Zgallerie Casablanca lanterns + my patio

Yesterday I posted about my patio, because I have been spending my days there.

Right after the post, my package from Zgallerie arrived and I finally got my casablanca lanterns I have been eyeing ever since I saw them in ashley tisdale's home tour.

How perfect do they look on my patio...I love the green so I changed a few things around since you last saw. My boyfriend also gave me this cute little table he found at a vintage store long ago.

I did lots of cleaning + spray painted it Spa Blue and now its the perfect host to my glass that I love.

Zgallerie on the regular...bright orange + black and white stripes

1I know...I have a problem.

My local Zgallerie is right next door to my local Starbucks. 

Not a good combination, as both are high on my list of weaknesses.

Today, I had to go in (at least it's Friday) because this huge black and white striped outdoor canopy called my name, very loudly. I had to go in.

How perfect is this? I need a pool pronto!

I am loving the bright orange colors all around the store...

and how could you not fall for these adorable boot umbrella stands?

or this gorgeous peacock serving tray.

love. love. love.
