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:

Manolo Blahnik strappy sandles with fur pompoms! (above)

Prada black jewel toe patent leather flats (above)

Prada black suede peep toe pumps with a suede rose (above)

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”…
