Fashionista Headquaters

As a woman of style like you; your home also places a huge part in being a fashionista. If you are like me, your apartment is extremely small and it’s a shared space. Take good care of your apartment, paint when it needs to be done, clean up after yourself (and sometimes others) All apartments are not the same. If you have to vacuum everyday to keep your carpets looking clean then that is what you need to do, dust, do the dishes and to top it off cook for your guests or your live ins. Don’t know how to cook? There are about a thousands books on cooking, pick one that your interested in and follow it. Beginners should start simple, and avoid Martha Stewart. Big reminder, your live-in’s need to know that this isn’t an everyday thing but just a simple dinner party, chances are your live-ins will want to check out your cook book to see what they can cook for you; if you have good room mates.
Search out items for your home that really make it a home. Your home should be a reflection of you and your style. Paint and arrange furnite to your liking. Decorate on your own, it’s not that hard there are so many home stores like homegoods, pier 1 imports these stores speak to you and you can find what you want simply and affordably. Apartments can be simple with a touch of your style yet can still be universal in it’s design to make people feel like they have walked into a home and not am annex for a certain store. Spread out when looking for any kind of home décor to keep from looking like an advertisement for the store you chose your favorite items to come from.
Another tip is to not loose your self to the design, make room for your essentials, like your books on a shelf, your DVD’s on a shelf close to your entertainment center. Organization is a big part of staging your home.
Clean at all times incase you have that unexpected guest stop by, If your apartment is small not much more than two or three people can stay comfortably so limit your self to that number of people for a larger party go somewhere public, like the local pub or a restaurant. It’s still your party no matter where you go.
