Moden Vintage at Co Co

Badgley Mischka Spring 2011

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!

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

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!

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!!

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

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.

Fall into Co Co

Our 12th Birthday Celebration was great fun, with great friends and a great sale. Thank you to everyone who came out to spend the day with us.

Now with August soon to arrive, its time to gear up for fall and since we're expecting beautiful weather in the coming months, don't be afraid to stock up on light threads like tank tops. Tanks are so easy and can be layered with a scarf, button up, or a jacket for fall. Get these great tanks at Co Co, the layered tank is by Mike Gonzalez and ideal for work and play. Sanctuary Clothing is responsible for the leapord tank that is perfect with a black undertank and dark denim jeans.
