MY NEW ORLEANS PARTY SHOES – PRADA FLATS

One reader named Mimi Lee asked to see what shoes I bought for my New Orleans trip…I think I made such a big deal about my Barneys buys that she was intrigued to find out more.

I know…the key to a good blog or brand is being focused. Cococozy is about interior design, decor and architecture…this post is not. Cococozy is not a fashion blog…I know.

Sorry to those interior design purists out there who are reading this post and thinking…”now this blog has gone too far; it is all over the place…fashion, interior design, ramblings of some girl named Coco, what in the world is this?”…please forgive me for this one post as I digress.

For those of you who care…

I had four parties to attend in a 48 hour period while in New Orleans last weekend. So I had to bring many outfits and of course many shoes…

Here was my New Orleans party schedule: 1) a casual night time gumbo/chili party on the porch of my friends CF and FF’s grand mansion; 2) a late afternoon holiday party for adults and kids; 3) an elegant Saturday evening cocktail/dinner party at the FF/CF home; 4) an afternoon garden party/tea at another beautiful uptown home belonging to SB and JB.

Being a shoe person, I of course, have shoes and was actually only going to Barneys to see if I might find a better pair of evening shoes…well low and behold I found several pairs that I loved (and consequently bought and consequently wore).

For reader Mimi Lee, here are my New Orleans party shoes:

I wore all of these shoes and a few other pairs over the course of 2 days in New Orleans…oh…did I mention they were all on sale!

There Mimi Lee…there is my “fashion aside”…you asked…and you got! Hope you enjoyed!

For the interior design purists…next post will be “on brand”…

What do you think of my party shoes? What do you think about this fashion “non sequitur”? Please click on comments link below and vent!

    I am drooling over these shoes. Most importantly, what size are you? If you are a 7-1/2….watch out for midinight burglars!

Here’s what happens when I start playing with tablHere’s what happens when I start playing with tablescapes in my dining room. ✨
I love layering pieces I already have, mixing textures, adding a little greenery, and seeing how a few small details can completely change the feel of the table.
There’s no one right way to create a beautiful tablescape. For me, it’s about making it feel collected, welcoming, and ready for people to sit down, stay awhile, and make memories.
These are a few of the tablescapes I’ve created. Which one is your favorite?
Comment TABLE below and we’ll send you more tablescape ideas to inspire your next gathering.

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍
