COCOCOZY FOR TOMMY HILFIGER - SURF SHACK VENICE BEACH - PART 2

Tommy Hilfiger Surf Shack Collection! (above)

Tommy Hilfiger's Surf Shack pop up shop is coming to Venice Beach this weekend...and COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger home accessories will be inside!  Woohooo!  Can't wait!

So, a few weeks back, I announced the big news that COCOCOZY has partnered with Tommy Hilfiger on a limited edition line of pillows.  This collaboration is part of the launch of Tommy's super cute laid back beachwear collection called Surf Shack!

This collection of cute summer clothing has a surf's up vibe with a distinctly preppy twist!  I spent an hour in the Tommy Hilfiger store in L.A. trying on clothes from the collection and ended up buying an adorable white pique blazer, a mint green linen top and a scarf. Must go back for more!

This Tiered Pleated sun dress is perhaps my favorite from the collection! (above)

If you are in Venice Beach this weekend on Saturday or Sunday...head over to check out the Surf Shack pop up shop and see the entire collection inside!  I will be stopping by the bus for a bit so maybe I'll see you there!

AN ARTFULLY DESIGNED NEW YORK CITY TOWNHOUSE

Am absolutely in love with this 6 story New York City townhouse.  It is in the July issue of Architectural Digest.

A luxury home filled with modern art and fantastic furniture and all of the right touches.  Bright, cheerful, serious and modern.  I like.

The double high ceilings in the family room with a beautiful Moroccan rug, a 1965 Frank Stella canvas over the fireplace mantel, herringbone wood floors, a stainless steel round Mattia Bonnetti coffee table, and two black leather Hans Wegner Ox Chairs (which were bought at auction but can be bought new for about $14,000 each)...all meld together to create a rich visually interesting space.

Fine attention to detail was clearly put into every room...but the details are modern, fresh and light.

Warren Platner chairs by Knoll, a graphic black and white painting by Al Held, and a animal hide rug make up a pretty vignette in the living room (above)

The master bedroom is a study of cream on white with a custom upholstered bed, a Louis XVI settee and a classic Jean Royere coffee table. (above)

A guest bathroom covered in floor to ceiling black and white striped Bisazza mosaic tiles (above)

Perfection in my view.  Don't you think?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S. Problem, my guy TE is away in China for business and I've found myself at home alone these last two nights.  I have a ton of COCOCOZY work to do but instead I've been transfixed by the good old fashion television.  Been watching none other than The Real Housewives and The Kardashians.  Here's what I "learned"...Kim was worried that Rob was eating too much and then Kanye called to find out how she was doing but then Bruce went to make amends with Brody and wanted to buy a gun but Kris said no then Khloe came in and hired a private investigator to investigate her late father's wife and then Kris said "press charges"...it is all blur...I lost at least a million brain cells watching the Kardashians alone. Then I went onto Real Housewives of New Jersey AND the brain cell killer of them all...Real Housewives of Orange County.  Help me please.  Help.   TE come home from China and save me from this.  Mom, sis DS...you could step in here too and intervene.  And where is best of friend AM when I need her.  Someone take me to a play, the museum, the opera, a library, a park, out to dinner...anywhere.  Save me from reality t.v.  Help.

P.P.S  #firstworldproblem

P.P.P.S.  Making plans for an Atlanta trade show in July.  Some exciting news to reveal soon about a new line of COCOCOZY that is debuting there.  We have another new license partner.  Can't wait to show you what we have launching this summer!

TILE FILE - ORANGE & BLACK KITCHEN

What a darling small kitchen I think.  Shiny square Hermes orange ceramic wall tiles, black cabinetry with gold pulls and knobs.  Love the white farmhouse sink and gold faucet.  It all works.

Using orange tiles on the walls all the way to the ceiling and as a backsplash sounds like bold and risky combination in a kitchen but actually comes of quite well.

Love the architecture of the whole space with the high pitched ceilings, oval skylight and french doors.  A very bright and cheerful way to start off the week.

What do you think of these of orange tiles in the space?  Is this a design "risk" you would ever take? Please let me know in the comments below!

Happy Monday!

SHOP WATCH - PELUCHE DECOR, A MUST STOP SHOP IN HOUSTON

Inside Peluche Decor in Houston, TX. (above)

Couture finds are the hallmark of Peluche Decor, a new home furnishings boutique in Houston, TX.

Owned by designer Deanna Breaux Gathe and her husband Dr. Joseph Gathe, the store offers a fantastic selection of items inspired by the couple's trips around the world.  From antiques, to repurposed artifacts, to custom one of a kind upholstered furniture, to lighting and more.

Deanna's philosphy on decorating is, "Each room in your home should have at least one couture piece you can build around... Mixing less expensive or eclectic items with a couture or more traditional piece can make a powerful statement."

COCOCOZY pillows are displayed on a unique wood carved bench. (above)

FASHION FORWARD - ISABEL MARANT INTERNATIONAL BOHEMIAN STYLE

Isabel Marant, Summer 2013

Loving all things Isabel Marant. This season she's all about the international bohemian look with soft purples and yellows and lots of mixing of patterns...and lots of paisley.

For some reason this outdoor tiled daybed nook although it is entirely Moroccan in feel has that same pattern on pattern play going on. I like it!

Shayne blouse - $787 (above)

Studded shorts - $642 (above)

What do you think of this pattern on pattern look?  Does bohemian chic work for you?

Happy Friday!

P.S.  TE is going to China for a week for work!  He's leaving tomorrow.  I'll miss him.  Maybe he'll email some pictures I can share with you!

P.P.S. So excited...am doing a public appearance next week and just got an email that someone is going to help me style my wardrobe for the event!  Need to lose 5lbs before going to try on cute clothes. Right?  Can a person lose 5lbs in two days?  Hmmm....

P.P.P.S. Happy Father's Day weekend to all of you dads out there!
