30 Sep #MaxxLife – Combining Fashion & Home Decor with TJ Maxx
Last week I attended an event that combined my two loves: fashion and home decor. TJ Maxx launched their latest campaign, Maxx Life, and costume designer Jenn Rogien {Girls, Orange is the New Black, etc.} dished on how to tell the story of who your are via what you wear and how you decorate your living space.
At this interactive event, we were given a character narrative and then had to create a full look for our woman to wear as well as decorate a bookshelf that represented our girl’s overall aesthetic. Our home and style needs were met with finds from TJ Maxx!
For the event, my partner and I had to create a look for “The Adventurer,” who was carefree, athletic, on the go and innovative. We put together a wardrobe that included booties, pants with leather accents, a low-cut draped top and printed jacket. For our character’s “shelfie” we styled a book shelf in her home that would include neutrals with a few pops of color and quirky odds and ends.
I’ve always felt that your home should just be a continuation of your personal style. My aesthetic leans more toward girly, cutesy and with a hint of glam, so my apartment includes tons of candles {TJ Maxx always has affordable, yummy smelling candles!}, decorative trays, a fire engine red couch and leopard chairs.
Costume designer Jenn Rogien takes into account every aspect of her characters lives when she’s creating a look that really speaks to who the character is or was. When it comes to decorating your home {or body}, I loved Jenn’s advice that you should:
Let Your Life Lead Your Style: let interests, passions and aspirations shine through when creating an outfit or look in the home.

Here are a few TJ Maxx home decor pieces I’m loving at the moment and that are currently in store. From furniture to decorative accents, TJ Maxx is a must visit if you’re decorating on a dime.
How do you decorate on a budget? What’s the best home item you’ve found at TJ Maxx so far?
