Cupidon

On my last coco's outfit post Lush Terrain, I received a comment from Valborg explaining that she loved the hairstyle on the Juniform 2010 collection and she wished to parade a similar look for her graduation party. For a long time I have been thinking about starting hair tutorials; I am extremely camera/video shy, but for my future project, I need to feel more comfortable so I started to practice a little here and there! This morning I thought of giving it a try to recreate the first hair look on the juniform collection to see if I would be able to handle a tutorial on it. Maybe!?? My version lacks the volume, but with a curler and a little bit more hair length, I'm sure it would be easy to perfect it! I will definitely try uploading some tips and tricks for hair soon. Now, it's time for cake; Happy Valentines Day Everyone!

Easy Virtue

 

Easy Virtue is one of those movies that went completely unnoticed for me; one day out of inspiration I decided to give it a shot! Mainly because I was curious to catch a glimpse of Jessica Biel as a blonde, I have never been the kind of person to pay attention to celebrity but I guess on that day, I felt a different way! Not only did I love her hairstyle, but she sports a perfect wardrobe! Lets not forget that Colin Firth is part of the main acting crew, kudos for that! The movie is about a tomboy American girl going on a weekend trip to her new British husband's parents estate and was enjoyable to watch. Yes true, it is a theatrical movie, sometimes overacted for the purpose of the theme, but overall it easily gets a seal of approval from me!

Coco here to announce the winner of my Third Giveaway Draw! The lovely Paul Thomas Cotton Watch Scarf will be sent to princesspolitco's mailbox! Congrats!

Lush Terrain

The return to Vancouver has been quite a windmill of emotions and stress, but it is now over. I am back home in a lush terrain, enjoying the benefits of warmer weather "sans manteaux". The previous week consisted of packing a gigantic Montreal guestroom  into 4 little suitcases. A trip to Winners was necessary to purchase additional luggage space. To my excitement, I found a large International Traveler hard shell suitcase (pastel rose with large white polka dots!), a perfect match for the prettiest luggage tag I found  downtown in Montreal. I think the suitcase deserves it's own post... maybe a "traveling coco's style" feature soon to come? How was everyone during my long absence!? I can't wait to catch up on everyone's blog and I also promise a bigger smile next time!

Have One On Me

 

Guest Post -> A Guest presenting a weekly music post:

American musician Joanna Newsom is one talented individual: Singer, Songwriter, Harpist, Pianist. She has a new album coming out in the few weeks titled "Have One On Me" that we can't wait to hear. The album is a whopping 3 discs/records long! and a sample track released from the album showcases some Joni Mitchell-esque vibes and flourishes. She has surprised us this past year with her new bombshell fashionista look and now with her new musical direction; sounds very good to us. Oh, plus that cover art has to be one of my favorites in recent memory.  You can preorder the disc right now via the drag city records website.

Interiors

Hello everyone, it's Coco! It seems like forever... my last outfit post was almost 10 days ago! I never realized how busy Montreal would keep me. Recently, I haven't had as much time as I normally would to reply to your lovely comments or to visit all of my favorite blogs, but very shortly everything will go back to a regular routine! Be sure that I still read all of your amazing comments and it means so much to me; thank you readers! If you have already noticed, I have decided to stay blonde and I am not sporting my usual big smile in todays casual pictures; I actually look quite dazed. It has been so hard prepping to return back to Vancouver. I wish I could stay here with my family and Billy the cat (for more on Billy visit here and here) but I know that realistically I have to return to my Vancouver apartment. It is funny how returning to my  adopted hometown of Vancouver can be a relief but also is a heartbreaking move! My heart is divided between two places. On a happier note, I have a new fantastic giveaway coming shortly this week! Stay Tuned!
