Mimi Jung Blogger Designer of Brooklyn Style Home

Some people have to work for it, and some people are just born with excellent taste and polish positively oozing from every pore. Jewelry designer and style curator Mimi Jung is one such lady, and her blog, boutique, and studio, Brook&Lyn, have taken over the interweb since its launch a couple years ago. And just last year, Jung launched her own super-covetable jewelry line called Surrounded, which is sold in boutiques like Maryam Nassir Zadeh and Debut, and has extended her studio business into somewhat of a style empire. From her plush Brooklyn pad, Mimi walks us through her inspirations, favorite scores, and way cool surroundings...

"The phrases on the refrigerator are inside jokes between my husband and I. The other day I ordered food and instead of asking for a rush order, I said 'put a fast on it.' I still think it makes sense...halfway."

"I found this drum at a vintage shop. I painted it, covered it with agates left over from my jewelry collection and now it's my tea table."
