Coley Home Spotlight: MG Style

Meet Mary Glenn of MG Style! Based in Alabama, MG is a fabulous tastemaker and mother of the cutest little boy. We love her twist on classic style and following along to see all her great finds! Read on to learn how MG styled her Coley Home pieces. 

Tell us about yourselves & how you got to where you are today!

Mary Glenn McElveen is a premier stylist and closet curator, transforming women’s wardrobe into an elevated extension of her identity through her styling and lifestyle brand, MG Style. After studying Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, Mary Glenn parlayed her innate sense of style and taste into positions in interior design. But through her leisure and travels, Mary Glenn realized the modern woman’s need for clear direction when shopping and with it, MG Style was born.

Mary Glenn has guided this mission by offering genuine feedback and practicality to her clients, with current links and dynamic basics, while never holding back an opportunity to encourage women to stand out in a crowd.

Through curating closets and striking looks for her clients, she has also found enjoyment in sharing her findings and inspiration with her loyal social media following. Most evenings, after putting her son Harlan down, she is draped in loungewear with her husband, Brooks, scouring the internet for the next beautiful find.

You recently selected (4) Hastings Chairs in Mont Blanc, Ivory with Nomad, Snow Contrasting Cushions for your living room. Walk us through the design process! 

I’ve loved flexing my interior design muscle—especially with the help of my friend Emily Ehrhardt of Emily Ehrhardt Interiors—to turn our house into a home. I chose the Hastings Chairs for our formal living room and love the way they surround the round coffee table. I can’t wait to sip my morning coffee and enjoy quiet, peaceful moments in this space for years to come.

How would you describe your style? 

My home decor is a true extension of my personal style. Rooted in neutral tones, elevated textures and details that add just the right amount of interest. 

What are your favorite styling pieces to splurge on and favorite places to save?

In fashion, I love to splurge on classic pieces that can be styled multiple ways and through all seasons. My favorite splurge is a unique Chanel flat always sourced through The Coveted. In home decor, I love to splurge on antique pieces that catch my eye. 

What is the most requested product from your followers?

This is a hard one! I get a lot of styling questions from my followers and send links to my belts and other outfit polishing pieces daily. 

What’s one niche holiday decoration you can’t live without?

I purchase a fresh, beautiful oversized wreath every year. It’s something timeless and instantly sets the tone for the season without feeling overdone but still elevated. 

We have to ask! What’s currently in your bag? 

Oh gosh, a full mix of things! I always have sunglasses, my wallet, a lipgloss and a few extra pacifiers in my bag to get me through the day. 

Favorite winter/cold weather recipe (dish or cocktail, your choice!)

I am not the chef in my household but my husband makes these really yummy bacon wrapped dates that are always a hit!
