Having started her Blog in New York city writing about her style musings and her science fiction love for Galactic Battle Stars and robotics, Chantal from the blog Cocorosa surely likes to indulge herself in a dreamy world of silky pastels, tutu’s, glitters and bows but this urban fairy is not afraid to pair the pretty with the rough. Globe trotting ever since, going back and forth between her native Holland and New York this smiling creature wants to be free as a galactic bird.
