Happy Birthday Salvador Dali!

One of the most imaginative, surreal, and impactful artists of the 20th Century, Salvador Dali, would be 109 today. He was known across the globe, not only for his highly imaginative paintings, but his eccentric behavior which included keeping wild cats as house pets, antagonizing his friends with pranks, and wearing some distinctly surreal outfits. Salavdor Dali
In a world of antics and surprises, one thing never changed: his espadrilles. The traditional Spanish shoe made from canvas and jute, and typically worn to the beach, was worn by Dali as he paraded around the streets of Paris and to evening parties. coclico rai

Coclico’s own Rai sandal is inspired by the Spanish Master’s choice of footwear. Updated with a peep toe and woven leather details, the Rai is the perfect shoe for today’s modern, if eccentric, woman.

ROADTRIP: Mother’s Day at Shinn Estate Vineyards

This Mother’s Day we are heading to Mattituck, NY to visit Shinn Estate Vineyards and Farmhouse.

This family-run vineyard and B&B is the perfect place to drink-in fresh air, new memories, and of course, plenty of vino. Shinn Estate Vineyards is our kind of place – operated completely on wind energy, it embraces restorative farming techniques and a design sensibility that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Barbara and David started Shinn Estate Vineyards after having a strong run in Manhattan owning and operating a mini-empire of locavore restaurants before it was a trend. Now they invite guests to reconnect with nature at their historic homestead and sample vineyard to table wines that show grace and clarity. It is the perfect place not only to toast to mom, but Mother Earth.

Happy Birthday Audrey

“The first thing she did with her newfound freedom was buy a pair of Roman sandals.”  So begins May’s Vanity Fair cover story about Audrey Hepburn after she finished wrapping A Roman Holiday.  Hepburn, who brought us the LBD and capri pants, is synonymous with 20th Century glamour, but many don’t look past the beauty.  Hepburn was also a gregarious girl who had a passion for the outdoors, putting others first, laughing loudly, and living each day of life to the fullest.  Like Hepburn, at Coclico we believe life is meant to be lived, puddles are meant to be stepped in, and ice cream isn’t an indulgence . For us, Hepburn is not only an icon of style but an icon of living life to the fullest.

Audrey is truest lifestyle icon we can think of, and her words continue to inspire us day after day.  Happy Birthday Audrey.

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.”
― Audrey Hepburn

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”
– Audrey Hepburn

It’s that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so don’t fuss, dear; get on with it.
– Audrey Hepburn

“Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it.”
― Audrey Hepburn

I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people’s minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.

Toasting to Arbor Day

Spring is in the air, and we’re celebrating the coming of a warm weekend by making memories with a bottle of wine and some good company. We’ll also be celebrating ARBOR DAY by taking a winter’s worth wine corks to designated drop off spots. Who knows, come this time next year those corks might just be a component of our new favorite shoes!

Coclico_MG_4662

At Coclico we are proud to use solid, Portuguese cork for our wedges and platforms, even when covered with leather the wedge underneath is recycled cork. We love its beauty as an all natural product, its ultimate renewability (trees are never killed during harvesting), and its function – strong yet light and buoyant which is great for shock absorption. Check out our selection of cork wedges and have a happy weekend!
