THE LATEST FROM MY DESIGN CRUSH JONATHAN ADLER!

Okay so fab Associate Operations Manager KS (who loves the color pink) and I were in our COCOCOZY booth at the New York International Gift Fair yesterday and my design crush Jonathan Adler stopped by to say hello.  He is adorable.  He gave us some great advice (marry rich) and some nice compliments (he said he liked the COCOCOZY booth) and he chit chatted a bit and then was off.  I think he is so cool.

Felt very fortunate during his Jonathan Adler visit for two reasons…1. that I wasn’t eating something when he came by (yesterday was a big snacking day in the booth…invariably anytime I took a mouthful of a snack some big buyer, press or someone important came into the booth…the snacking started early and continued all day long and it never occurred to me to stop snacking…instead I just kept snacking and kept getting embarrassed with a mouthful of snacks.  Smart girl right? Help!) and 2. that he came by.

Anyhooo…so I didn’t have a post this morning so I ran up to the Jonathan Adler booth here at the fair and found so many cute goodies (some nice person named Macy took me around) to show you.

Which of these Jonathan Adler goodies do you like best? I’m loving the Silver Fox!

Thanks to Jonathan for stopping by our booth yesterday!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S. Things at the gift fair are going well at the COCOCOZY booth. We were the 2nd place winner of some award for our combo placemat table runner in the COCOCOZY Logo pattern. It’s a new tabletop item we added for this year and people have been loving it!  It is the width of a placemat and runs across the width of a table (not he length like most runners)…so you get a runner and placemat all in one!

P.P.S.  I hope you have a great day!

P.P.P.S.  Am in flats today as opposed to the heels I’ve been wearing all week.  Sparkling flats mind you.

P.P.P.P.S.  Was happy to see Clara from Hillary Thomas Designs today – they are showing their line of stone finials here at the fair.  Clara stopped by to say hi and mentioned they have a sale for One Kings Lane going on today.

P.P.P.P.S. Also, forgot to mention that I saw Marissa from Style Beat blog and Sue from The Zhush blog yesterday too.  They are very nice.

P.P.P.P.P.S.  Went to an art party last night with best of friend AM and KS.  It was in this HUGE apartment in Tribeca that overlooked the water.  We then went to the Soho House where we shared a communal table with a group of guys who kept hitting the table.  Strange customs here in NY at posh private clubs! 🙂

P.P.P.P.P.P.S.  COCOCOZY fab Associate Operations Manager KS (who loves the color pink) is standing here in the booth counting things.  I don’t know what she is counting.  She seems to have a calculator in hand.  Confusing.  She is standing in the center of the booth pointing and counting something and then mouthing numbers.  Will get to the bottom of this and let you know.  Hmmm….

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S.  Having drinks with RK this evening and good friend CJ is supposed to stop by today.

    Congrats Coco on the award!! You deserve it! Also, it was such a pleasure meeting you at the Winter Antiques Show Young Collectors Night, last week. Thank you for inviting me to stop by your booth. It looks even better in person! Hope you got plenty of orders.

    Jonathan Adler will forever and always be my favorite designer. It was falling in love with his decor that made me realize just how fun and special decorating can be…And I’m digging that Silver Fox as well!

    This post made me really laugh today, which was much needed. You are smack dab in the middle of great talent and beauty, and that is precisely where you deserve to be, Coco. Congrats on the award!
    As for silver fox, where do I buy it? Fabulous!

    Looks like great fun. J. Adler is a look, not my personal look but I think the look he does, he does very well. Love your line of pillows, so pretty.

    That’s awesome! If you ever see Jonathan Adler again, can you ask him if he will ever have large square brown lacquer trays again?? They’ve been sold out for what seems like a year!! Thanks. 😉

    How exciting in so many ways!! Sounds like a crazy good event with Jonathan Adler as the cherry on top. I simply adore him…and his Channing desk. I’ve been pining over it for a while now.

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. 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!
