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!!

VIVID - DESIGNING A MERRY RED HOLIDAY SEASON!

Kitchen with black counter tops, bright red drawers and cabinets and stainless appliances

Awhile back I posed the pressing question...red v. orange in home decor?  I know...other pressing questions really do exist...but at that as my mind wandered...as it does so often, I thought, "I must wonder out loud...which color is better red or orange?  I must ponder this...".  Bizarre I know...but I did manage to spend a bit of time thinking about that question.  I know I could have been doing some real good in the world in even the ten minutes I spent way back when I first asked this question...but instead I was probably sitting in my velour Juicy Couture sweat pants thinking "Huh, I wonder what I like better, huh, hmmm, huh...red or orange?  Hmmm..."  Well, the bad news was, I didn't have a definitive answer back then...but now I do!  Hoorah...we can all breath a sigh of relief.  The answer is here. (P.S. do not laugh at me regarding the Juicy sweat pants I wear as my around-the-house garb...I really find them so comfortable...so comfy that sometimes I even sleep in them...is that bad???). 

Anyhooo....the answer...yes the answer...

Red. Red. Red is my answer.  I like red.  The trends say like orange I'm sure...I don't care...I love a wonderful vibrant red in all aspects of design including fashion. 

Wouldn't I just love to wear this amazing gown to a holiday party this next month?  I'd show up in this gown even if they said it was a hay ride and plaid flannel shirts were the recommended attire.

In decor, there is nothing like a bright red door to cheerfully welcome visitors inside.  I even like these red cabinets...the rest of the kitchen has wood grain cabinets but then the stove area pops with this vibrant red.

What do you think of this bright red?  To bright for you or is a touch here and there just right?  Do tell?  Do!

Happy Monday!
