how to be a natural beauty
by Coco Blanca
Connecting with nature can play a vital role in home interiors as well as one’s wardrobe. If done correctly, using natural elements can help awaken all your senses!
Lately, we have received several customer requests to revamp their homes so their interiors “feel more like Coco Blanca.” It’s the natural and organic appeal of our style with both home and fashion that makes our customers feel calm, at peace, and welcomed.
For the home, texture is key for both visual and tactile senses. We love layering natural hides on top of sisal rugs, and upholstering big comfy chairs in buttery leather or nubby linen. Natural sunlight warms the soul, while breezy white cotton or linen drapery panels lighten your spirit. The combination is absolutely devine! And then there are the accessories and statement pieces that we choose to enlighten the senses even more. A few examples for the tabletop: a carved mango wood bowl filled with fruit or sea treasures, or a driftwood candelabra lit up with beeswax candles … and for the family room: curl up with a textured cotton blanket or woven linen throw, rest your feet upon a hemp and wool pouf, and sooth your sences with our bestselling diffuser—a natural blend of Bergamot, Tobacco Leaf and Ylang Ylang.
For the wardrobe, it’s all about comfort and looking fabulous! Look for clothing that feels great against your skin, yet knows where to hug (and not to) in all the right places. When layering, there’s nothing like organic cotton for underpinnings. And no wonder silk has been a classic staple in the fashion world … it’s so soothing to the senses. Look for Italian silk tops, cotton and linen scarves, totes made from cork (the new leather), hair-on-hide belts, raffia bags and playful fedoras. Coco Blanca’s free-spirited style is effortless yet edgy, sophisticated Bohemian, and elegantly casual. Complete this natural look with jewelry designed with seashells, pearls, turquois, sea glass, chalcedony, horn or moonstone.
Embrace nature with Coco Blanca’s natural color palette … think coconuts by the sea!
