Michael Kors Spring 2011

With spring trainingset to begin in less than a month-there is still hope amidst all this snow and ice that the season of light-weight fabrics is soon to arrive. Co Co will be bombarded with appropriate garb by the end of next week and I wanted to offer insight into what trends you need to look out for while perusing the racks at the store.

Vintage is a funny word these days with everything old being new again-making it our future fashion obsession! From 60s glamour to the "to-die-for" 70s chick, woman are able to transfix themselves back in time with this season's trends.

60s trends:

full calf-length skirts

cardigans

boxy tweed suits

boxy coats

70's trends: (this is where it gets good)

Wide Leg Pants/Jeans

High Waisted pant (they's gonna give it another whirl)

Faux fur vests

Silk blouses

Oversized sunnies

Colorful prints

Boho bags

All yummy goodness!! I can't wait! I'll see you at Co Co!

Layering is Not Just to Keep You Warm!

2010-11-18T20:08:00.001-05:00

From J. Crew to Chan Luu, you too have to get on board, or should I say underneath...all the layers. This fall has been the season of layering and even with the weather constantly changing, I can't bring myself to wear anywhere under 6 item at a time and at least three on top. From sweaters, to different prints and fabrics, to accessories...add it on!!! Check out these bracelets by both Tai (top) and Chan Luu...perfect for layering your wrists.

Love this trend...so don't take it off, put it on! For these accessories and others you'll need...I'll see you at Co Co!!

Bag Lady

2010-09-18T10:55:00.004-04:00

A swarm of new fall bags just arrived at Co Co and I could smell the leather as soon as I entered the store.

This fall, an over the shoulder strap is a must have when buying your bag for the season. I see this strap as an instant selling point, the same as when a dress had pockets a couple years ago and then you just had to have it.

MZ Wallace, Hoss, 49 square miles, Iro, and Oryany (seen here) introduced some fabulous bags this year that are all quite yummy, and can all be worn over the shoulder.

There are a few more factors to consider when grabbing bagging at Co Co. For instance: what size would be most equipped to your lifestyle, what color do you find to be most suitable for your everyday wardrobe, and are there options with the straps including length.

I can't wait for you to stop in and try on all the different bags, you'll die! Brown bag it where style and transition is key, I'll see you at Co Co!

*Be sure to check out some of the other fabulous bags on Co Co's facebook page!

2010-09-03T16:05:00.002-04:00

Shopped Co Co today for fall and absolutely fell in love with all the new arrivals. Summer may be my favorite time of the year, but fall is definitely my favorite season for fashion. I would also like to think that many of the designers were inspired by the very same thought this year.

Fabulous new fits, trends, shoes and bags from Chan Luu, Mia, Patterson J Kincaide, Hoss, Qi, and Billy Blues, to name a few, will catch your attention and keep you coming back for more.

I couldn't get enough and had to do a small, amateur fashion show in the store. In LOVE! Stripped sweater by Line and bag by 49 square Miles.

Get the fall clothes you'll fall in love with too, I'll see you at Co Co!

Fall Essential: Boots!!

2010-08-13T18:26:00.005-04:00

There's just something sexy about a woman with a hint of ruggedness.

I can't seem to stop gazing at these new boots by MIA, two pairs just sold while we were unpacking. The perfect addition to your fall outfit, these boots have endless possibilities. I see them with skinny jeans (tucked in) or cargos. If your daring, a floral dress and oversized sweater.

Aren't they fabulous?! Need them!

To get this rugged essential...I'll see you at Co Co.

GaGa Glamorous

2010-08-06T22:14:00.007-04:00

I was fortunate enough to attend a Gaga concert earlier last month, and have still yet to recover from the overwhelming insanity that occured; which of course is a good thing when it comes to this Lady.

As I watched her appear to her audience on stage, I thought to myself, Only Gaga can perform behind a sheet the way we do when we look for the perfect match. We look for our audience to be amazed when we reveal ourselves with our potential new frock from the fitting room.

Catch the attention your looking for and put on a show with this fabulous LBD from Susana Monaco. It fits like a glove and puts a spin on a classic. You will absolutely turn heads with this number and still be in tune with the latest trends.

Be gaga glamorous with this look, without having to be too over the top... I'll see you at Co Co.

Sweet Melissa

2010-07-13T11:16:00.004-04:00

With all the stresses in life, we find comfort in ideas that are well known to us. Comfort in life's most simple pleasures. For Melissa's Plastic Dreams shoes, this simple pleasure is plastic!

Not just for hardware anymore, plastic has taken on a whole new style. A "pioneer of elegant plastic" Melissa is the first to take the jelly concept and turn it into high fashion. Recently walking the streets on the feet of Alicia Silverstone and Anne Hathaway, we can't help but stop and stare in sheer amazement at Melissa's fabulous execution of such a common material. This brazilian brand has caught international attention for it's collaboration with such high designers as Vivienne Westwood and Zaha Hadid and get this, they are eco-friendly!

I just snatched up these leopord plasteees from Co Co. With a peep toe, I'm glad I got that last minute pedi. These shoes can be worn throughout the seasons, and most importantly, they are comfortable!!! You can't find Melissa's Plastic Dreams everywhere, so be sure to visit Co Co for an excluisive pair.

Ill see you at Co Co.

L.A. loves Me

2010-07-05T17:17:00.005-04:00

My boyfriend recently adorned his arm with his first tattoo and has now taken on a new persona- not intentionally, but inevitably so. I look at him in recent days and see the personification of the L.A. guy. They are comparative to a NJ guido strictly for their distinct style that represents their coast. However, they are a bit cooler, if being cool is cool anymore.

For women, L.A. style is the quintessential fashion path in which you want to follow. Yes, we are 30 minutes away from 7th Avenue, but anyone who knows fashion knows it is designed and manufactured in New York, and worn, seen and envied in L.A.

Co Co is well aware of this secret truth and has been dedicated to capturing the latest styles and trends from L.A. by bringing them to Upper Montclair. From the interior design of their trendy boutique to the brands that hang on the walls, Co Co is L.A. fresh, while still New York sophisticated.

This year Co Co will celebrate 12 years of el lay and N.Y. fusion with a sale as big as the distance between the East and West coast. On Saturday, July 24th all new merchandise is 12% OFF, while Spring is 62%-82% OFF. With savings like these maybe I can finally convince my boyfriend to take me on vacation to California, for sheer inspiration of course.

To be L.A. inspired in Jersey, there is only one.....I'll see you at Co Co.

Relax in Style this Holiday Weekend

2010-07-04T12:30:00.002-04:00

Amanda at Co Co reminds me of Pink in the sense that she inspires me to revert back to the days when things we're a bit more relaxed, clothes a bit more "chill" if you would. Pink's style was always slightly baggy, but always looked extremely comfortable.

Be introduced to the modern day relaxed pant that has hung on the hips of those such as Gweneth Paltrow and the uber fashionista- Sarah Jessica Parker!! Perfect for this holiday weekend, Current Elliott's distinct style couldn't stay away if we tried. They kill it in every aspect of relaxed denim and well lets face it, the once born again trend-khaki! Pair these pants with a tank top, baggy tee, or cardigan with your newest wedge!

Get this style along with other Current Elliott must haves exactly where you know you'll find it....I'll see you at Co Co!! *And be sure to say hi to Amanda ;)

2010-07-01T10:20:00.012-04:00

If you've caught Nicole Richie in the gossip mags lately or browsed online shopping sites, then you know and love Richie's distinctive jewelry line, named after her daughter, House of Harlow 1960.

The feather necklace, seen above, is Nicole's most popular design, and has caught the attention of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, and Vanessa Mannillo. The necklace comes in black as well as 14k yellow gold and is known to revamp the neckline. Wear Harlow's feathers for a night out, or to dress up any casual look. Nicole shows to the far right that you can layer this necklace with other House of Harlow styles including the starburst stations necklace, which can be worn a variety of ways.

Co Co an experience is a virgin to the House of Harlow line and excited to be a new boutique to carry Richie's orginal pieces, including the feather necklace in yellow gold and the starburst style. To complete the Harlow look, match it with her gold plated bangle bracelets and fabulous cocktail rings, all at Co Co.

Stand out from the crowd and be the first to grab House of Harlow's burst of style captured in each design. Co Co's style experts are on hand to help pick out the perfect look for you!

I'll see you at Co Co!

Chan Luu Obsessed

2010-06-26T12:34:00.003-04:00

As an avid Chan Luu fan (thats my wrist to the right). I found compliments on my beloved wrap bracelet to always be well deserved. However sometimes I would be asked the dreaded question: did you get that at Club Monaco? It could be because I am proud of my Chan Luu wrap that I am always a bit on the defense when it comes to this denouncement, but it's probably due to the fact that I interned at Chan Luu's New York showroom and am well aware of the orginality and intricacy of each one of Chan's pieces.

Each one of her bracelets is made to order with real leather and a variety of nuggets in sliver, gold, rose gold vermeil, and various gemstones. Be sure to check out their website at www.chanluu.com to browse their collection of jewelry, accessories, and even Ready-to-wear.
I promise you'll immediately be addicted. I know I am, as well as my family. I just bought my Dad his third wrap bracelet from Co Co for Father's Day- yes they do men's bracelets too.

Visit Co Co an experience and get your first, second or third Chan Luu bracelet and be sure to try on their scarves and ready-to-wear, also in store. I wouldn't let you down- you'll love everything Chan Luu.

I'll see you at Co Co!!

Summer Must Have!

2010-06-23T15:49:00.005-04:00

Love, Love, Love these white destroyed denim shorts from Current Elliott. They're trendy, perfect for the summer heat and ON SALE!

For a hug-your-hips fit go down a size, but for the boyfriend look stick with your usual size or go up one. And no worries- this cut has a longer length. You won't find shorts that stop just under your toosh from this vendor, but only the most comfortable boyfriend fit. However for those who are looking for a shorter length, just roll up the fringed bottom. Pair these shorts with a belt and baggy tank top (look through the store for the well known tanks from Patterson J Kincaide)- and for cooler nights, throw on a cargo jacket for the latest Safari look.

Find these boyfriend destroyed denim shorts along with other Current Elliott styles including: straight-leg, trouser pants, and the boyfriend jean at Co Co in Upper Montclair!!
