Sseko...

has arrived, and CocoVee couldn't be more excited about these new versatile sandals. 

Here's how it works: pick your size, get your ribbon on...

 

and then choose your style and occasion - like Beach Day, 

 

 

a (need-to-make-an-entrance) formal affair...

a first date...

that could lead (maybe) to your Wedding !!!

 

And the best part? In the process of purchasing and wearing your Sseko Sandals - you directly contribute to bettering the lives of Ugandan women - by empowering & educating them through fashion. 

How cool is that? Can you say: Girl Power !!!

Want another idea for Sseko Sandals? That's no problem - since the options are limitless! 

You could wear your Sseko Sandals to the office by pairing them with light-toned skinny jeans and a blazer...

And why not top off the look with a powerful statement necklace?  

Like: the "Shades of Red" CocoVee contemporary design - modeled here by Savannah Paima, and photographed by Kaley Pitts, both of whom are young, aspiring artists, currently occupying Central Florida. (Girl Power !!!)

 

Did we mention that Sseko also makes handbags - that are just-too-stylish ???

Let me introduce you: to this lovely "Saddle: Caramel" clutch... 

now available at CocoVee !!!

So stop in, today - and make your Sseko look your own. 

Stay Sleek & Chic, Loves !!!

Karen Hill Tribe Silver of Thailand

CocoVee is proud of our Beach Silver Collection, made using Karen Hill Tribe Silver and precious freshwater pearls, designed all by Bobbi Whitmore – the Ms.CocoVee.

Karen Hill Tribe Silver is made by the Karen Hill Tribes of Thailand, who live in villages tucked away on remote mountainsides. Besides farming various crops, the Karen people handcraft finely woven garments and silver pieces that are 95-99% pure silver. Since they use a higher-content silver (than sterling – 92.5%) - the pieces are “softer” and easier to shape into intricate designs – often nature-themed. Oxidation (that leaves black coloring in the grooves), hammer marks, and slight design variations give Karen Hill Tribe Silver a distinct look; no two designs are exactly alike.

 The lovely Miss Jean (above) models our long, chocolate-brown Baroque Pearl necklace with a Silver Shell - worn off-center - over an Indian tunic. Here's another way to wear the same design - with skinny jeans, a long-sleeved top, and brightly-colored accessories...

  

Since Bobbi chose silver seashell and flower pieces to accent different types of pearls, the Beach Silver Collection has an earthy, one of a kind feel – which is fitting, because each piece is unique – just like a seashell or a flower that you would find in it's natural element.  

 This is a multi-strand, knotted pearl necklace with a gorgeous flower center; $195. Many of the pieces from the Collection have already been claimed by some lucky ladies, but we still have a handful of gorgeous, one of a kind designs for you to choose from. 

 

a pastel blend of pearls with an eye-catching silver-wired charm, $75

our Pink Boutique

CocoVee has always carried Pink pieces to help raise Breast Cancer Awareness, which is a cause that we take to heart, not just in October, but everyday. 

We believe that it is important for us all to remember loved ones that we may have lost, as well as to provide support to patients and survivors through kindness and understanding. 

To celebrate and remember these remarkable women everywhere, we will now have a Pink Boutique in our shop, set up all year long. 

In October, CocoVee participated in Polyvore's "Why do you wear Pink?" design contest. Our answer: because - I am Strong - and that's how we feel when we wear Pink.

This is a day-to-night Pink look - a quick change after work and you're ready to go out!

We now carry our own unique designs - incorporating Pink pearls and crystals - with various Breast Cancer Awareness ribbons adorned on many of the pieces. Of course, a portion of all CocoVee Pink sales is donated to the charity of our choice, to help fund research for prevention, treatments, and cures.  

Why do you wear Pink? Whatever the reason may be, remember - everyday - that you are Strong!  

( Also remember to do this every month... )

what a cute way to...

Use a WRAP BRACELET !!!

outfit designed on Polyvore; by Unknown

paired with brown knee boots, black leggings, tan sweater, tan floral handbag, washed out red scarf, and over-sized brown sunglasses - all of which bring out the colors in the WRAP BRACELET; the perfect casual chic accessory for this summer to fall look. 

CocoVee on Polyvore designed this look designed around the WRAP BRACELET, which just happens to be our current "FEATURED FAVORITE" Design this month on CocoVeeJewelry.com...

WRAP BRACELET Look by CocoVee

We dressed up the WRAP BRACELET by pairing it with a leather shoulder bag, tan stilettos, a chic sweater, and classic pearl posts; plus, say, "Hello," to the color of the season: Burgundy, with playful skinny jeans and matching eye color. 

What fun a WRAP BRACELET can bring to your look !!!

this looks just like...

This Macha Jewelry necklace of assorted pearls and "chains" in silver and gold is bold and breathtaking...

Macha

 And it looks a lot like "This Ol' Ball and Chain" by CocoVee, with white pearls and silver "chains."

CocoVee

 

Best Part: Our piece is a fraction of the price that Macha's is, but is equally enticing.

Fall Accessories Contest on Polyvore; Results a girl can count on

CocoVee was pleased to participate in our 1st contest on Polyvore, which involved our favorite season AND jewelry! Here's our entry:

 We focused our collection around the VALENTINO LACE AND CASHMERE SCARF, $1195 and its rich, wine-like colors; we also focused on gold, which is just everywhere right now - don't you just LOVE the DOLCE AND GABBANA ROSE CLIP EARRINGS and the LUCAS JACK GOLD HEART CUFF ?!!! The matching GRAY AND SUEDE boots and jacket are meant to be your all-winter-long staples; mix up SUEDE AND LEATHER for a TEXTURED LOOK - see the leather and suede belts? Both would look great, cinching the waist, with a slouchy, cozy winter sweater. Of course, our favorite piece is the very affordable 4 STRAND PEARL BRACELET WITH A BOW, that can be worn with every outfit, and it's only $19 !!!

There were 2, 360 entries and I would not like to have been the judge, because everyone's collections were so cute; could be because we can't get enough Fall Fashion. 

Loved 1st Place's choice of the GUCCI VANITY FLORAL PRINT SCARF, $420...

Scarves (as well as dark floral prints) are this season's wardrobe staple

...as well as an ALEXANDER MCQUEEN GOLD-TONE SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL 

BRACELET, $785 - so gorgeous!!!

Loved every part of "Autumn is coming" who scored 2nd Place; highlight - 

OSCAR DE LA RENTA BEADED CLIP EARRINGS, $345

Autumn is Coming

 

 

Though we did not win the contest, our focus piece - the VALENTINO SCARF - was part of 3rd Place's collection!!! Instead of grays, browns, and golds, they paired the rich burgundy color with a yellow-lime-green bag and matching 3-tone pumps, of eggplant, watermelon pink, and the same yellow-lime-green color - so fabulous!!!

PATTERN PLAY: playful prints are everywhere - try pairing opposites for a super chic look

IN THE CLUTCH: handbags and "envelope" clutches are very in and very useful; get lots

STAY WARM IN STYLE: feminine trench coats and sharp blazers will keep you comfy and cute
