I just moved into my New York City apartment and I couldn’t be more excited. It's so close to my school and I absolutely love everything about my building and my apartment. Since living in Manhattan can be extremely expensive it was important to me to decorate my apartment on a friendly budget, but of course still make it chic as hell! I found a lot of affordable items at Homegoods and Marshalls. I eventually discovered the trick to finding the best items at these stores was to go at least once a day and just check out what they had because they bring in new things and get rid of old things everyday.
I've gotten a massive amount of compliments on my Oliver Gal lips painting above my bed. It is usually a very expensive painting but luckily I found it on guilt.com for what I think is a great price. I also have gotten a lot of questions about my bedding. Originally I only had the Moroccan themed bedding (seen folded at the end of my bed) but then I found the denim and I absolutely loved it, so I found a way to incorporate both. I hope you love my new apartment as much as I do and I will continue to add and take away things so I will keep you guys updated! Check out the photos and details below!
