Crumbs on the Vanity

About Me

My Story

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Victoria Cozen. Her long brown ponytail swung as she skipped down the road to her first day of kindergarten and her first day in a French school. The only thing she related to French was french toast and french berets. She sat curious in her desk chair learning word after word with persistence until she was fluent in the new language. She spent her whole education in the french school and as years went by she found herself the most passionate about science and fashion. “What an odd pair!”, people would say, but she giggled and secretly liked being different. Smart and feminine. Stylish and studious, the high heels of her shoes clinking through the lab.

When she finally graduated she went on to Syracuse University where she studied magazine journalism and met her best friend Meilin Quinn, lover of Victoria’s famous dorm oats. She then spent a semester in London deepening her knowledge of art and worldly cultures. Today, she lives in a parisian apartment pursuing fashion design at ESMOD. In Paris she nicks her fingers in the kitchen with knives and in the sewing room with needles. She hasn’t been saved by a prince charming quite yet, but she has been saved by her appreciation for little details and passion for big things to come.

Not the End.

My blog 

“Oh so Victoria” is what people say when they see or do something that is simply so me! At the risk of sounding self centered, let’s call it an adjective. You might use it when you see a beautifully plated dinner adorned with spices and avocado galore. You might use it when you meet someone with a 15 step skincare routine who reads her book in the meantime because each product needs to “properly soak in”. You might even say it to someone who is constantly spitting out ideas about how to celebrate your kitten’s birthday or creating a pudding with no… cream? My creativity seems to build up in my head like a whirling of colorful thoughts and buzzing ideas that crave to be shared. So here I am, sharing my crumbs with you on the vanity.

Crumbs refers to a collection of my favorite recipes. Some of which I’ve adapted from classic favorites, some that have been passed down to me from the lovely ladies before me, and some that have simply been rabbits I’ve pulled out of my personal chefs hat. To me, cooking and baking is a fusion of chemistry, art and the activation of your senses. 

Vanity is when we look in the mirror and see appreciation for our beauty and our life reflected back at us. We should bask in confidence and be strong women. We should take care of the body and skin we have been given, which is why I’m passionate about skincare. Even if the products don’t all do what they promise and vanish your wrinkles overnight; if they make you beautiful go for it! Put that 15 min mask on and pretend it made you glow! 

I like to find similarities between the foods we eat and the products we use to create a life full of happy lips and healthy hearts. If you care to join me, here’s a napkin for your crumbs, and don’t forget to leave a lip stain;)

HOT IN THE WINTER: ⁠⠀ A collection for the ill HOT IN THE WINTER: ⁠⠀
A collection for the illusion of a girl who lives in a world with no rules, and no normality⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It can be hot in the winter. The snow can make you sweat. The wind can take your breath away. The chill makes you want to rip off your coat. It can be hot in the winter. Stares, emotions, feelings. All making you wish you could splash cold water on your face to snap out of it. But, you can’t get away from the energy that’s drawing you in. Little by little, your skin turns ice cold as your heart begins to melt. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This hot in the winter fashion collection is inspired by ski and outerwear, this winter collection reminisces the traditional fabrics and shapes of warm winter clothes with an elegant and shapely twist. From down jackets to tight base layers, these pieces are modern and sporty. Feminine and seductive, yet functional. Sure, this collection is unconventional, but here we don’t design for convenience. We design for the illusion of a girl who lives in a world with no rules, and no normality.⁠⠀

SWEET POTATO & CORN TAQUITOS with 🥑 CREAM⁠⠀ SWEET POTATO & CORN TAQUITOS with 🥑 CREAM⁠⠀
➕➕➕⁠⠀
CHICKEN & SPINACH TAQUITOS⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I say these are the best taquitos I’ve ever had, I really mean THEY ARE THE BEST. The first time I made these sweet potato and corn taquitos I shared them with my friends, and I held my breath as they tasted them, worried that they wouldn’t like them. Well, that wasn’t the case at all! To name a few reactions: REMARKABLE, I NEED the recipe, 😭😍 delicious, are there any leftovers? ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These taquitos are PERFECTLY crispy, sweet, cheesy... I can go on. They are a healthy and fresh twist on the classic taquito dish, and of course I had to add an avocado element.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The 🍠 and 🌽 is filled with sweet potato, corn, cheese and and a fresh avocado cream.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The 🍗 and 🥬 has roasted chicken, 3 cheeses, spinach a creamy salsa.⁠⠀

BATTLE OF THE SEXES Part 1: Warrior by Day ⁠⠀ BATTLE OF THE SEXES Part 1: Warrior by Day ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Serious Relations ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
She's the girl who wakes up and smiles because she's powerful and she knows it. She doesn't abide by anyone's rules but her own. She doesn't succumb to the pressures of society. This collection is called Battle of the Sexes because the woman behind the clothes is delicate yet confident and finds herself in a position of power in all aspects of her life. At work, in the city, within herself and with her oh so lucky subjects.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This confidence, it isn't the kind of confidence that exposes a big ego; not the kind of power that is self-centered and demanding. It's a modest, almost unnoticeable kind of poise. She doesn't demand that you listen to her, but you want to. She doesn't make the rules, but you follow her anyway. ⁠⠀

FIGGIN DELICIOUS MUMMIES ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Happy Hallo FIGGIN DELICIOUS MUMMIES ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Happy Halloween! 🧛⁠⠀
⁠⠀
These figs in a blanket consist of wrapping honey glazed figs and creamy cheese in puff pastry and drizzling them with warm herbed butter. After baking them, the kitchen smells of warmth and the little mummies are golden brown and as gourmet as Halloween gets. The flavor is anything but dead. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
ARE FIGS IN A BLANKET COMING TO THE HALLOWEEN PARTY?⁠⠀
Yes! These figgin delicious mummies are definitely invited. The pastry wrapped figs are a delightful and posh appetiser and make a genuinely cute addition to a halloween spread. It’s a finger food that can be devoured in a couple of bites, and pairs beautifully with red wine making it the perfect party food.⁠⠀
