GUEST POST: FASHION EDITOR MARLIEN RENTMEESTER ON STRIPES

Yoohooo dear readers…one of my dreams came true…I found someone amazing to guest post on fashion here on COCOCOZY! Woot woot!

Long story short…friend and interior designer Alison Blumenfeld sent me a link to a new fashion blog called Le Catch the other day…it is fabulous…turns out Le Catch is written by Lucky Magazine’s West Coast Editor Marlien Rentmeester. Without knowing a thing about Marlien (I didn’t even take the time to read the “about” section of her blog), based on the content alone I immediately emailed Alison asking her to put me in touch with Marlien. I then emailed Marlien, we had a brief chat on the phone and without a blink I asked her if she would guest post about fashion and design here on COCOCOZY. She said yes…and here we are…

I love what Marlien does because she curates amazing stylish looks…great design ideas for the wardrobe!

Today…I am thrilled to bring you Marlien’s first guest post – Stripes Galore….! Woohoo!

I have never met a stripe I didn’t like. They’re ubiquitous in my wardrobe from my casual Breton t-shirts to luxurious cashmere knits. I even love pairing different striped pieces together. So, it should come as no surprise that stripes have horned in on my home. In fact, I recently painted a dark, small hallway with black and white horizontal stripes (pictured above). The result is eye-catching and timeless. Same could be said of this stripe (on stripe) ensemble below. The trick to combining stripes is to make sure they vary in size and share a similar color palette. I also like stripes with other prints, such as florals, tribal prints, animal patterns or even polka dots. Stripes are anything but boring!

I absolutely love the sweater and the shoes. I love the skirt and bag too.  So I guess I love it all.  Which stripe do you fancy?

Thank you Marlien for a fabulous guest post!  Can’t wait to see more of your fashion perspective here on COCOCOZY!

This guest post just made my Friday!

Happy Friday to you!

P.S. Press alert – COCOCOZY on DAILY CANDY!:  A COCOCOZY cotton knit throw is featured on Daily Candy’s luxury gift guide – Deluxe Gifts for Giving!  So excited to be featured and among good company with luxury brands like Frette, Hermes and Ralph Lauren.  This little press tid bit made my week!

P.P.S. Remember that cold I was fighting?  Well it won the battle.  So annoying.  Next time I’m going to win.  This cold better watch out and not come back again this winter!  Aside: I think I might be delirious…here I am talking about a common cold like it is a person…oh dear…help me please.

P.P.P.S.  Must think about what I am going to wear today.  With all of this fashion talk…feel like I have to look extra cute. Hmm…what to do…maybe a stripe? 🙂

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. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
