DRESSING ROOM DOORS - WEEKEND PHOTO

Oh what I wouldn't do for a dressing room with doors like these.  Fretwork carved doors in a closet.  Love! The lace-like detail lets just the right amount of light through.  Great doors.  I also like the glossy paint used on the cabinets, drawers, ceiling and walls in this walk-in closet.  Makes the small space shine.  Nice closet...right?

Happy Saturday!

PRE FALL 2013 STYLE INSPIRED BY NARCISO RODRIGUEZ - FASHION FORWARD

I'm liking Narciso Rodriguez pre-fall 2013.  The modern lines, the sophisticated colors, and the sleek silhouettes.  Fashion that inspires me to think about home decor, style and more!

P.S.  Had a nice dinner with TE and his family last night at Modrian in Los Angeles.  There was some InStyle Magazine party going on there...so it was quite a scene.  Good people watching!

P.P.S.  Thanks to CM and NG at COCOCOZY Headquarters in Beverly Hills.  They've spent the week prepping for some meetings I'm doing over the next few weeks.  Nice work.

P.P.P.S. Best of friend AM sent me an article from a trade magazine yesterday...that called the COCOCOZY for Capel Rugs collection one of the "most popular new rug lines at the summer markets"!  Wooohooo!  Thanks AM for sending the article along!

COCOCOZY FOR TOMMY HILFIGER - SURF SHACK PART 1

COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger is in stores!  Woohooo!

Am thrilled, thrilled, thrilled to announce today a partnership I've been working on since the fall.  COCOCOZY and Tommy Hilfiger!

This summer two special edition COCOCOZY pillows will be in Tommy Hilfiger stores around the world and online as part of Tommy Hilfiger's Surf Shack capsule collection - a really cute array of summer clothing for men and women!

You might ask..."Coco...how did this all come about?"  Unlike most (smart) people who keep everything close to the vest...I, of course, will share details.

Sooooooo....was approached by the very stylish Amie Robinson, Director of Research and Development for Tommy Hilfiger, last summer about possibly working with their brand on a small collection of pillows.  I chatted with Amie and her super cool boss Trent Wisehart, Creative Director North America and EVP of Global Creative Services for Tommy (have a secret professional design crush on Trent...now not a secret I guess...hmmmm...) for a bit about what we might do together.  Then fab Tommy Hilfiger VP of Marketing Jann Parrish was brought in to finalize plans.  Before I knew it, by December 2012 we were in business!

More details in later posts on how we made 500 pillows in a few months and got them off to the Tommy team!  (Hats off to COCOCOZY VP of Operations CM for coordinating getting all of the pillows out of the door)

So today, Tommy Hilfiger has launched its Surf Shack collection - a capsule collection of bright cool surf inspired clothing...and two COCOCOZY pillows are in the mix.  We color coordinated our pillows with their collection.

Yesterday, I went into the West Hollywood Tommy Hilfiger store and took a million and half pictures. Courtney the store manager was so nice and I even ended up buying a cute Surf Shack white jacket and sparkle mint green t-shirt from sales associate Tiffany.

A true thrill to see our pillows in store!

Here is our COCOCOZY Vent pillow in cotton in Tommy Hilfiger colors!

I will do another post next week on the making of COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger pillows.  I will also share my favorites from the Surf Shack collection over the next few weeks!  Later, will also share with you the second pillow we did for Tommy.

If you are near a Tommy Hilfiger store, please go in and check everything out.  If you get a pillow, shoot me a photo of it in your home and I'll put it up on the blog!

Happy happy Thursday!

P.S. A huge thank you to decor and style blogger Marisa Marcantonio of Style Beat blog for doing such a nice write up today on the new 2013 offerings from the COCOCOZY textiles collection!  Thank you Marisa!  You are so sweet!

P.S.  Best of friend AM and her family are gone.  I miss them.  Was so happy to have spent a week with them...even though I was working all of the time.

P.P.S.  On Saturday night, I went to the best party ever...it was thrown as a birthday party for Kristi Bender of Wendy Schwartz Design.  Kristi's husband threw the party for her.  It was at her fabulous home here in Los Angeles and it was the best party ever!  There was a DJ, great music, a shiny white dance floor in the middle of the privet enclosed backyard, glittering decorations, a special cocktail called the Kristi Bender, a hot dog stand with vegetarian, turkey and custom beef hot dogs, great lighting throughout and all of the french doors of the house were tossed open so guests could enjoy the beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces.  It was spectacular!  I only had my blackberry with me but I tweeted a few photos on COCOCOZY Twitter.  Wish I had taken my camera.  So many great entertaining ideas!  Maybe I can convince Kristi to do a guest post! My friends AG and HW were there and so was Kristi's nice friend CL.  I also ran into Kristi's business partner Wendy Schwartz and her husband...they were so nice to chat with.  Also saw Alexandra and Billy Kimball there and was able to have a quick chat with them too - Alexandra looked quite stylish.  Oh did I mention, Kristi looked fantastic in a dress that a friend of hers made for her... it was gorgeous. Okay...need to get Kristi to do a post on her bday party.  I hope she has pictures.
