meet Daring Coco

Welcome, my name is Sonia– I’m truly so happy you’re here.

For over a decade, I’ve been capturing and sharing moments and thoughts here on the blog. From fashion and beauty finds to wanderlust-worthy adventures, I’m here to inspire you to embrace the beauty in every moment.

Beyond work and creating content, I love taking photos, cuddling with my sidekick Chanel, reading at the beach, and spending time with my family.

Daring Coco is a life and style journal by Melbourne based creative Sonia De Macedo. A metaphoric love child of Debbie Harry and Stevie Nicks with an aesthetic to match. She is a weaver of words and an amateur photographer with an avidly appreciative eye for design. Daring Coco showcases her unique, individualist voice via photographic musings and opinion pieces highlighting trending topics and subjects. It also features sartorial advice, including her own personal mix of bohemian luxe rock ‘n’ roll style, travel adventures and the occasional review and observation on places of interest.
