Blog Takeover: Mackenzie Horan of Design Darling

May 9, 2012

Posted 09/12

Hi there! I’m Mackenzie from Design Darling and I’m excited to be taking over In Honor of Design for the day! I decided to share with you a big part of my job as an online boutique owner — finding new products to roll out every couple weeks! It’s so important to be constantly refreshing my assortment and getting people excited about new goodies.

Here are some of the new arrivals for the month of May! I opened my boutique Design Darling in March and have tried to roll out a small batch of new arrivals every couple weeks. That means staying on top of potential new vendors, photographing and editing new items as they come in, and keeping track of everything once it’s here! It’s a lot of work but the satisfaction of seeing new items up on the site — and customers’ photos of how they’re using the items in their homes, parties, and weddings! — never fails to make my day. You can shop all the new arrivals here and I hope you’ll come say hi over on my blog! Thanks Anna for having me! xx

We send out helpful tips and resources, and inside news just for our email fam.

I love her store- she has such great pieces! As a New Englander I really have been embraceing my inner Southern Girl loving all things monogrammed lately!
