I would like to dedicate this post to kindness.

When I was in New York City a few weeks back, I had the opportunity to learn more about a friend of mine that is quite dear to me. We discussed how he had a few pivotal moments in his life that had changed everything for him. He met two people that gave him immense opportunity and then those people ended up ultimately sculpting his career path. I got to thinking how I've always entirely believed that I am where I am at, because of the place I was in, the people I met and the experiences that happened to me along the way...

Checking-In from New York

December 11, 2015 Coco Zaza

Back in New York and loving my life. New York is one of those places that gets under your skin (in a good way). It's the kind of place that makes you have anxiety and keeps you on your toes.

Ever since I was a little girl, I liked to have things on my head. Whether it be a hat, a scarf or a very large, obnoxious bow- you could sign me up. My newest obsession happens to be the latter and I just can't seem to stop wearing them. I recently wondered about how my clients would feel with me showing up to meetings wearing a giant black bow on the side, or the top, of my head, paired back to a properly tailored and incredibly modern Armani suit...

American, I mean French, Gothic

I have always had a fascination with the prohibition era and particularly with the idea of traveling by train with trunks in hand, dressed up to the nines, the way people used to travel. This was an idea that my good friend Ken had always envisioned discovering together...
