FASHION FORWARD: VALENTINO FALL!

Love all things Valentino this fall.  Leather, long bloused sleeves, intricate detail, sparkle and more. All done so elegantly.  A lot of what Valentino does on the fashion runway can translate to home decor and design…a wonderful blend of simple silhouettes and painstaking detail can make an outfit or a room!

I would love to add a bit of Valentino to my fall wardrobe.  Wouldn’t you?  No costume for me on Halloween…I’ll just dream of dressing in Valentino!

I think my favorites are the leather coat and the red dress with the scalloped neckline.  Too fantastic I think!

Which of these looks do you prefer?  Which of these spaces catches your eye?  Do tell which and why!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Yesterday was at a shoot all day until about midnight for my real job.  You know a television shoot…directors, actors, big wigs running hither and thither.  A long day but we got a lot of good stuff. Speaking of fashion…I was wearing some cute sparkling Prada flats, some dark green ombre Rag & Bone jeans and a cute shimmery silver long  sleeve top (very cute, hard to describe…I pinned the top and the jeans on COCOCOZY Pinterest so you can see it).  About half way through the day, I was touching my neckline and I realized I had been wearing my shirt backwards for half of the day!  Hmmm…  Well there you have it.  Another COCOCOZY comedy moment brought to you by Coco!

P.P.S. Happy Halloween!!

Natural light is the one thing every room has in c Natural light is the one thing every room has in common here, but the window shape, wall material, and time of day make each one feel like an entirely different experience. ☀️
It’s a reminder that light isn’t just a condition in a room. It’s a design decision.
→ Save this if you’re thinking about how light works in your own space.

I visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy LaI visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy Langseth @keuramylangseth at her chic Paris studio in the Marais and left completely obsessed! Every bag she makes is intentional, considered, and honestly unliIke anything I’ve seen. The kind of craftsmanship you don’t stumble upon easily.
She’s still under the radar. For now. 😌

This 300-year-old Belgian château redesigned by a This 300-year-old Belgian château redesigned by a French interior designer and architect, Nathan Litera @nathanlitera is a beautiful reminder that good design isn’t about replacing the past, but learning how to live with it. You see it in the preserved millwork, the original fireplaces, the parquet floors, and then in the quiet contrast of contemporary lighting, cleaner silhouettes, and restrained color.
The magic is in the balance. The newer pieces don’t compete with the architecture. They feel intentional, calm, and completely at ease. Nothing is overly styled. Nothing distracts. History stays front and center while the space still feels entirely livable today.
Here’s how to bring that same feeling into your own home:
* Keep your base timeless — neutral walls, classic materials, architectural details if you have them
* Let contrast do the work — modern lighting or furniture against traditional bones instantly updates a space
* Edit your palette — keep colors within a tight range and let texture and form do the talking
* Invest in materials — marble, wood, plaster. They age beautifully and never feel out of place
It’s not about recreating a château. It’s about understanding the feeling that quiet kind of luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.
Save this for when you want your space to feel layered, timeless, and truly considered. ✨

Sharing with you a day in my life here in Paris. ESharing with you a day in my life here in Paris. Every day for the last few months has been the greatest day ever here. Even days that are not event filled feel special in Paris.
Started with French class on this day. I was taking classes at L'Alliance Français because living here means actually trying to belong here and speak the language.
Then off to the Hôtel de Crillon @rosewoodhoteldecrillon ,a historic palace hotel overlooking Place de la Concorde, known for its timeless interiors and quiet kind of luxury, catching up with a friend like it was the most ordinary thing...in extraordinary place.
So even though nothing momentous happened...wanted to show you what my every greatest day life looks like in Paris.
This city keeps surprising me. 🖤

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸
