COLOR WATCH: BACK IN BLACK & WHITE FOR FALL!

September 7, 2010

The Row – Fall 2010 Collection

Once again…another post inspired by a conversation with my good friend and fashionista Amie Robinson.

After Amie had inadvertently turned me onto Lauren Moffat in idle conversation and that netted a fab post on plaid and piping…this time in hopes of another fashion post, I just asked Amie straight out, “What designers are you liking for fall?”

Amie, who I also call A-to-the-double-R-O, responded unequivocally, “The Row”. It is that line by those Olsen twins…you know Mary-Kate and Ashley. I know it sounds weird but check it out”. When Amie speaks about fashion, I listen. So off I went to The Row. Loved it. Amie is batting 1000 with her fashion picks.

The Row offers sleek, sexy, modern pieces. Tres sophisticated in my view. The fall collection is very black with some touches of white…no-nonsense but high style silhouettes. Loving The Row!

Black with touches of white is always de rigeur in home decor too…so with New York Fashion Week getting started soon…another post where fashion and home decor meet.

Thank goodness black is still “in”. I would be doomed to nakedness if all of a sudden the fashion world decided to eliminate black…my entire fall and winter wardrobe is black with specks of a few other colors here and there. Phew.

What do you think about black in home decor? I love it in fashion and think I might like a bit of it here and there in the home….what say you dear reader?

Have a great back to school and day after the long weekend.

Must go get dressed (in black) for work….long day which includes a work party tonight…hmmmm…what to wear?

P.S. Still loving my Cococozy interns Spardha T., Maria K. and Nicole C.! They are just fab. In particular, thanks to Spardha for researching this one!

    This is my fav way to dress…and I am adding loads of black to my apartment. If we ever have a home of our own again I plan to do all black and white with pops of color….wonderful post!

    I like black dresses, they look so elegant, even when colors are my life. I am painting through synesthesia which makes me see colors when I hear names and numbers. These colors I transform in paintings.

    Great to learn I am on par with current color trends! I was just thinking of adding some black & white chair pads to tone down my Napoleon dining chairs. I guess B&W can never go out of fashion.

    I went to the Row website, it was interesting they only make the clothes in sizes 2 4 & 6!

    While I’ve never been a fan of the Olsen twins their Fall collection is beautiful! It reminds me of early Calvin Klein! As for the black furniture, I’ve always been told every room needs something black be it upholstery or furniture. My favorite set shown is the desk and bench whhic I would LOVE to have!

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!
