FASHION FORWARD: LACQUER IT UP – NAIL POLISH FOR FALL!

A design non sequitur today…decor purist please excuse.  I’ll post some design related business after this for you…but those of you who are okay with a fashion aside…here you go…

Love it when I get a cute blog post out of  COCOCOZY textiles related business.

So I had a fab meeting over at MML PR to discuss the COCOCOZY collection. Met with publicists Merritt and Claire who are so nice. They have the cutest offices on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach (made me long for beach city offices btw). Anyhoooooo…when I walked into the office, a bunch of people were packing gift bags for an Emmy Awards related event…and someone said the word “nail polish” and I must have started smiling and sparkling and thinking, “Oh how fabulous…new nail polish…I wish had some new colors”.  My sparkling, smiling and deep thoughts must have been more obvious than I assumed because after a long conversation about COCOCOZY pillows, throws, candles and me, a nice little bag was delivered into the conference room with the latest Essie nail polish colors for fall 2011!

Score! Woot woot!  Whoa. Yippee!!  I was so delighted to get these six polish colors…for no apparent reason…just thrilled. Silly I know. I can afford nail polish so I don’t need it as gift…but for some strange reason, having my hands on the new fall colors just got me so excited. Beyond excited.  There is something wrong with my POV I know…going bonkers over 6 nail polish bottles?  Who does that?  Me.

P.S. I normally do not even accept gifts (even from my family…my mother and sis have had to give me a lesson in polite gift acceptance over the years because I actually gave a few gifts back to them when I realized they wouldn’t work in my home…ooops…I know…not gracious at all…Emily Post would have been appalled…)…and I definitely do not accept gift bag items – I go to plenty Hollywood events where these are offered and I’ve always declined even the best of the best of the gift bag. Reason is my tiny tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills is so small, I cannot add anything into the mix unless it is planned out. Extra clutter.

Uhmmm…all this to say…this was not the case here. When that little bag filled with latest nail colors arrived…I snatched it up so quickly that poor Merritt and Claire I’m sure were wondering “Where did it go? I think she took it.  What’s wrong with her?”

I think I’ll try the dark green gray color which is called “Power Clutch” first!  Then onto the wine color polish called “Carry On”…and then who knows what else!

Essie Power Clutch nailpolish
Power Clutch nail polish is a dark green the literature says…but I think it almost looks like a gray!  Can’t wait to try it. (above)

From left to right “Cary On”, “Power Clutch”, “Glamour Purse”, “Case Study”, “Lady Like”, “Very Structured” Essie nail colors for Fall! (above)

Any of these colors stand out for you?  What is your favorite fall nail go to color?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  So relieved, we are doing a special candle line for a big fashion company – very big company.  Yesterday, we thought the candles would not get to NYC in time for Fashion Week and Fashion Night Out on Thursday!  Fed Ex surprised us and the candles arrived today!  Woohooo…good day.  New nail polish and happy candle customer!  Hip hip hoorah!

    See… I bought one of those grey-ish colorsync last Fall, from Chanel, and was totally in to the color! … Right to the time it went on my fingers…. The color was so awful on my skin tone, looked so bad, so be careful 😉
    Now i am an essie Girl, pale, pale pink please!

    Hi there,

    I’m pretty new to your blog…love your decor and pillow posts…but also enjoy today’s fashion diversion.

    The “Lady Like” and “Very Structured” colours appeal to me…classic and pretty without screaming look at me….although that’s the kinda girl I am. However, “Carry on” would look cute on the toes (peeking through studded heeled sandals, of course).

    I LOVE Essie! Ballet Slippers is my favorite but I am interested in trying the ‘Glamour Purse’ color – that looks like a great color for fall! I also like Limo-scene and Mademoiselle…and Atlantis Pearl…I’m hooked!!

    Beautiful nail colors, you have the most enchanted life! I love hearing about all your adventures… I just wonder how the heck you fit a full time job into all this. I like what you said about not adding things to the mix in you teeny tiny cottage. My cottage is about 1100 square feet, so pretty teeny tiny and I need to remember to plan to bring anything in…. Thank god I have a barn, but that’s for hay for my horses…. now, you’ve got me wanting to do my nails, and, since I’m a farm girl now, that’s just strange… carry on!

    I must find a bottle of the Very Structured…love it. I’m also loving Chanel’s Peridot color for fall. It shows golden green to turquoise, and every shade in between depending on the light.

    Loving the “Power Clutch”. I’m going more green with Chanel’s “Periodot” when the temps drop.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard.
