Take one look at Leandra Medine, the lovably kooky fashion maven behind the addictive fashion blog Man Repeller, and it's obvious that she's not the type of woman to set up shop in a dull office. When she moved her blog's NYC headquarters to spacious new digs, she enlisted the help of Homepolish, an affordable, hourly-rate-based interior design service, to bring the signature Man Repeller pizzazz to the blank office space. The result is an ingenious blend of sartorial flair (designer shoes as art!), functioning work space (you won't believe how glam these office chairs are), and inviting recreational areas (coffee-meets-cocktail bar, anyone?).
Ready for the best part? We've scoured every inch of Man Repeller's office and sourced the exact or nearly identical decor, so you can re-create this fabulous fashion office at home!

A long table doubles as a communal desk for Man Repeller staff to gather around. Instead of standard office chairs, this workplace is stocked with dazzling copper chairs. A sheepskin throw is on hand in case extra cushioning is needed. Photo by Claire Esparros via Style Me Pretty

Man Repeller's beverage station does double-duty as a morning-coffee and evening-cocktail bar. A quartet of local coffee shop prints hanging above continue the java theme while personalizing the space. Beyond the drinking accoutrements, the console is bare but for a Jonathan Adler Gold Muse Candle, and a wooden ladder serves as a magazine or jewelry rack just to the side.

A connecting series of bookcases line the wall, providing a customizable amount of storage. Woven baskets tucked into the bottom shelf are perfect for organizing mail and other work-related clutter, while the upper shelves provide a display area for objet d'art, such as a gold urchin.

Homepolish designer and CEO Noa Santos wasted no opportunity to show off pieces from Leandra's vast fashion collection. A pair of Tibi x Converse high-tops are perched atop a pile of hip fashion reading, including Darling Magazine, System Magazine, and CR Fashion Book. A pop of green in the form of a succulent sits in a geometric vase and enlivens the bookshelf vignette. Photo by Claire Esparros via Style Me Pretty
