cocorosa t-shirt @ Zara


I'm on a t-shirt in the Zara! 

I actually don't know what to write but for me it was pretty amazing to see my own snout hanging in the Zara, I think maybe people expect me to act kind of "cool" and "unaffected" about it?

But the truth is that I grew up in a very small city in a very small country and when growing up in the middle of nowhere a lot of things seem impossible especially if you are not drop dead beautiful or drop dead smart but just normal? like getting a job in New York or getting interviewed for magazines and especially appear on a t-shirt in the Zara! 

When I saw myself in the Zara I imagined myself being 17 again, I would not have believed it! I think what I want to say is that often when I was 17 I could only dream about things and felt discouraged because all these dreams deemed impossible because of where I lived and because who I was. I just want to say that I was wrong.. If I can be on a t-shirt coming from the middle of nowhere everyone can be! I think your dreams, whoever you are, wherever you are and whatever they are can come true! Never feel discouraged! xoxo


Thank you Zara and Happy Punt!!

Did you work with them on this or did they take your image without your knowledge? I know bloggers have problems sometimes with their images being used on clothing without their consent.

Hello Cocorosa, I'm a french girl, I'm living near Paris and I'm just 16.
I love your blog and I often come here to see your photos.
Today your text is speaking to me (I don't know if it is english ... It's a french expression : "ça me parle") because I live in a little country too, I don't know anybody in the world of fashion, but I would like live my passion and succeed by my own measures.
So, I'm glad to see that it can exist !
Thanks Cocorosa !
