Atomic Blonde: Meet Barb Brooks of Southern Blonde Chic

September 29, 2020 -- Southern Blonde Chic (also known as Barb Brooks) really lives up to her name. 

She’s got the moxie of Scarlet O’ Hara. She’s got the platinum locks of Marilyn Monroe. And she knows how to transform her passion for fashion into chic-and-easy style tips that her audience (of over 65,000 Instagram followers) just loves.

But as we soon discovered during her visit to CoCo Couture, Barb holds many impressive titles — breast cancer conqueror being at the top of that mighty LONG list.

Southern style icon. Renegade role model. Mentor. Mom. Goddess. Badass...should we go on?

As a confident and always-in-the-know fashion influencer, Barb didn’t need any help from the CoCo staff in picking out dynamite combos. The blonde bombshell wasted no time in blowing us all away with her atomic energy and captivating style. She cut right to the chase, selecting everything from graphic black-on-black to eye-popping pink (perfect for the powerhouse that she is!).

Black Beauty

There’s no better way to punctuate that platinum hair than with a black on black uniform.

Pom-Poms, Please

Faux fur pom-poms add delightful texture and a touch of luxe to this fall-winter jacket.

Easy Being Green

A ruffle-accented swishy skirt and gold hardware adds extra attitude to this green dress.

For Love and Limes

A lime microsuede jacket adds a twist to everyday neutrals.

Creature Comforts 

For a sense of laidback luxe, upscale joggers and hoodies are just the thing.

Pink Power

This color communicates, “Live your truth and know that there are no limits to what you can do or who you can become.” Did you get all that?

CoCo Couture owner Candace Bongiovanni said, “As a formidable voice for breast cancer survivors and those currently waging war against breast cancer, Barb has given us all a beautiful gift — that of shining courage and hope. She’s one of the very few women who has built her lifestyle brand around fashion AND faith, and that’s a brand we can totally get behind. We just adore this woman!”
