SOMETHING OLD & NEW – FASHION MEETS ARCHITECTURE!

February 14, 2011
  • Share

Ancient three toned fireplace with a large portrait of a woman in a gold frame and a bust inside the fireplace

Loving this three toned ancient rustic fireplace. Something so very romantic about it. Fitting…romance on Valentine’s Day. The color is not red…but it works on the romance front for me.

Love the tumbled look of this fireplace…yet the refined nature of it all with the regal portrait gracing the mantel and the marble bust inside the fireplace hearth.

Short sleeved metallic blue gown from Peter Som's fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection

Love blue…I think I love blue more than any other color. My favorite color combination is green, white and brown as three colors together…but I think blue (as of late) is my favorite color. Why not shock a space or your look a bit with some very vivid blue? Would go into my closet and find some blue to wear to work today if everything in my winter wardrobe weren’t jet black…hmmmm….?

As an aside, I’ve gotta say…spent some time browsing through what has come off the runway for fashion week…I did not find much I like (lots of patchwork huge slouchy guinea sack looking dresses (frankly quite unattractive and of no help to girls who are still trying to look cute and find a Valentine :-))…

I did, however, find these darling metallic blue pieces in Peter Som’s fall 2011 ready-to-wear collection. Love the sparkling blue, the silhouettes of the long gowns. Very cute. Fun. Playful I think.

So many shades and tones of blue in one fireplace and in a few finds from last week’s New York Fashion Week.

What other color reminds you of romance? What do you think of these blues?

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Monday!

P.S. See the COCOCOZY Twitter Feed to see the Panda bear print dress I’m loving from Peter Som’s show as well! I know…Panda bears? Haven’t lost it just yet…take a look and let me know what you think on Twitter!

    I agree with you about the sack looking dresses…and about finding a valentine :). But these blue pieces are lovely!

    Blue can mean so many different things… and be so versatile! One of my favorite ways to celebrate the color is with blue-and-white pottery, which I frequently incorporate into my designs. And I agree with you that the fireplace photo is ALLLL about romance! Dreamy!

    Gorgeous fireplace. The color gradation reminds me of Rothko.

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
