Channeling Coco

Fashion icon Coco Chanel is an inspiration to many. Her natural penchant for style and elegance has timelessly influenced women from all over the world. Through the decades, many greats have followed suit and her legacy has transcended into modern day lifestyle.

In the Philippines, the spirit of the fashion legend lives through a new haven of beauty-Coco Nail Studio.  Channeling the chic vibe, this neighborhood nail spa located south of Manila is a habitué of beauty and style in refinement.  Inspired from contemporary French apartments, the alluring interiors echo European design aesthetics as seen in immaculate white sofas, ashen drapes, sparkling ceiling decor.  Muted hues beautifully paint a style-setting atmosphere of relaxed elegance. The look sets an unpretentious mood where comfort is a tall order. Top of the line nail care and other premium services such as hair threading, waxing and chair massage options is what Coco Nail studio is all about.  Luxe brands such as Chanel, Butter London, Opi, Zoya, Jennifer Lynn Gel and Gelish by Harmony UK paint chic nails and every treatment comes with complimentary drinks together with their Buttercream Macaron signature.  For special  treats, they offer afternoon tea packages for small tete a tete during the weekends and spa party packages tailored to your budget.  

Coco Nail Studio is the new relaxing hub tucked away from the maddening city.  Refined aesthetics combined with personalized services have never looked so chic. Simplicity of elegance is made  timeless in this pretty haven that's definitely a sweet tribute to Coco.

Scent of the Moment

In the world of style, wearing the latest fashion isn't just all about the clothes, accessories, bags and shoes. Oftentimes we do forget that the scent we use can be our best statement. From the endless designer and mass retail brands out there in the market, Manila's style and fashion finders recently found a new scent-sation to hit the local scene--Fille et Fils" (pronounced feey-ay-fees), which literally translates to "daughter and son."
The idea of "freshness" with buddies Trisha Salvador-Ocampo and Tricia Chiongbian-Concepcion came to mind in creating this must-have local line of scents and sensibilities. Groundbreaking with their first three Eau de Toilette sprays called Julien, Philipe, Cristiane -- now under their "classic" line of unisex scents -- the two young entrepreneurs use natural oils from France, recreating the freshness and feel of the morning dew, envigorating attraction of sweet fruits and irrisistable smell of a newly bathed baby. Keeping it real, these scents are essentially and aesthetically boasts of natural components without all the fuss and frills. After all,the most alluring and scentifying experience is au naturelle. The chic line comes in simple and chic packaging boasting of long lasting impressions that are practical and affordable.
Fille et Fils offers other types of sprays, including home and linen sprays, insect repellants, and Eau de Colognes specifically for feminine tastes that they call Sabine, Solaina, Renee, and Anya. This Girl Flower Power line is available at Tarte Tatin in Powerplant and Greenbelt 5.
