What to pack for a mid-season week-end in Barcelona by Admin

Forget your triple layer winter coat if you travel to Barcelona during the mid-season. Here you will find the best tips to enjoy your stay as much as you can while, hopefully, remaining stylish.

One thing to take into consideration is to travel light. And if your aim is to visit the city from A to Z in just a weekend: think practical. You will always look more pretty on pictures with a casual and comfortable look than with a look that will not allow you to smile because your too hot, too cold or because your shoes make you want to cry.

That is why a pair of sneakers is always a good idea, you can bring your high-heels but keep them for the night if you plan to go out. Then, never forget the basics. A trench, a cardigan or a leather jacket is enough. For the bottom, just bring some jeans. Barcelona is not only a synonym of sun and party at the beach, you never know what the weather holds. That is why it can be tricky to travel during the mid-season because the weather is constantly changing, thus, temperatures are never the same. A sweater or light jacket is essential and you can wear a breathable t-shirt underneath it to stay comfortable.

Don’t be afraid to let your creativity speaks to keep you warm: mix fabrics, put a scarf on… but remember that packing heavy clothes is not a good idea as you will have to take them on/off every time you enter to a restaurant, a coffee shop, a museum.

Now that you have all the information needed, stop looking desperately at your suitcase wondering whether you need your sunglasses or your umbrella, just take them both and be ready to enjoy the city’s best places.

10 tips for walking in high-heels by Admin

Marilyn used to sing that “Diamonds are the girls’ best friends”, this is far from being wrong. However, we must not forget our other best friends which are high heels. Indeed, wearing those can instantly make you taller, more graceful, more slender and so many other positive things. But you need to be careful as your second best friend can suddenly turn into your worst nightmare if you do not know how to tame them, and here is how to do so:

Put the heels that you can handle: If this is your first trial, please do not set the bar too high. For beginners, I recommend you wear wedge heels. As you will get used to those, little by little, change your wedges for stacked heels and then for stilettos if you feel up to doing so.
Use platform shoes: If you are not really comfy with high heels, medium height heels will be enough to have a positive impact on your appearance.
Avoid pain: Always have band-aids with you and put them on before you get blisters, in prevention. You can also buy stuffed soles to soften your steps.

4. First the ball, then, the heel: To get as steady as possible, you need to be careful to not put your whole foot on the ground at the same time.

5. Slow Down: Leave few minutes earlier than necessary to be able to slow down your rhythm if needed without being in a hurry and risking a broken leg.

6. Use your weight wisely: To avoid your heels to get stuck between the cobbles, try to put your weight on the ball of your foot.

7. Take little breaks: Allow yourself to take a little break whenever you want to. And when doing so, just admire the landscape and the streets, you may be surprised!

8. Anticipate: Look at the cobbles which are one or two meters far from you and identify the safest part of the road for your heels.

9. Keep calm: It is completely worthless to insult the road or to beg it to let you pass. It won’t work. All you have to do is to stay calm and keep on moving until you finally got to destination, be brave!

10. Walk on the less damaged part of the streets: You should better walk at the edge of the streets because normally, they should be less damaged and therefore more negotiable.

Bonus: Forget everything I’ve just said and find some friends or a boyfriend nice enough to help and support you or even to carry you after hours of suffering.

Barcelona’s best Second-Hand & Vintage Markets by Admin

Barcelona is not just only for Art-Fanatics, Beach-Babes and Party-Animals, but also the perfect city for Vintage-Lovers who are always on the hunt at Fleamarkets and Secondhand-Stores for their perfect new spoil.

Just around the famous Ramblas, in the Barrio Gotic and the Raval, you will find a real vintage- and secondhand eldorado. Especially in the Carrer dels Tallers in the hip part of Raval, or in all the small streets around the Calle Ferran in El Gotico there are a lot of authentic and unconventional places to discover. Just as big as the variety of different shops is the amount of flea- and vintage markets. Depending on the day of the week you will be spoilt for choice. Here are some of the best Vintage-Markets, that you can not miss.

Encants Vells Flea Market

The Encants Vells Flea Market is Barcelona’s oldest and biggest market and easy accessible with the Metro (L1 or L2). It is located on Plaza Glories and without doubt one of the most impressive modern market buildings in Europe. Open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9h to 20h every week you can find an eclectic mix of secondhand wonders and vintage clothes, as well as nick-nacks and antiques to fill your home with. The combination of original architecture and hustle ‘n’ bustle, combined with the diversity of objects on offer and great views of the Agbar Tower make the Encants market an interesting place to visit. You should better get there early to avoid the crowd.

Flea Market Barcelona

Taking place once a month on a Sunday close to the Drassanes metro station and hidden behind the Maritime Museum, the Flea Market is one of the coolest street flea markets in Barcelona. Selling a huge range of things, from secondhand clothing, to books, bags, jewellery and household items, they seem to have it all. From mid-morning until around 7 in the evening you can visit the market and shop around for a good bargain and even offer to make trades. The Flea Market has even gained such popularity that it decided to create a second type of second hand market in the city, which they have dubbed Fleadonia. This market takes place close to La Filmoteca de Catalunya, at Plaça Salvador Seguí. The next flea market event is on the 11.03.2018.

Lost & Found

Only held once every three months, usually Open Air, Lost & Found boasts a huge range of vintage and secondhand items and clothes, located in the central Estació de França. Not only is Lost & Found flea market a place to discover new treasures, it is also a space to exchange ideas, mingle with friends, find inspiration and feel a part of the humongous and ever-growing vintage community in Barcelona. If you’ve become bored of your clothes or household items, then bring them to Lost & Found. There you can exchange products in return for something completely different.

Two Market

The Two Market factory sets up a new market, this time focusing on vintage clothing and accessories. This ecologically sustainable flea market takes place in the huge hall of L’Ovella Negra in Poble Nou. Following the motto “Reuse is the best way to recycle”, this vintage market attracts visitors and motivates them to follow this original and inventive goal. Grab some cheap pieces (starting at just one euro) in this fun and sustainable way.

Good luck and have fun rummaging!

Interaction between music and fashion by Admin

People can hardly imagine their life without music as it accompanies almost every sphere of life. Through the years, music has been the center of inspiration for various artists and its impact can be seen in pieces of art of different times. As well as sculptors, painters and writers, designers also often find their “muse” in musical compositions.

Music creates idols people want to follow and look like. Each type of music also represents some ideology and values, so very often we can guess the type of music person likes according to ones` appearance.

Jazz

In 1920, the popularity of jazz brought to fashion “bobbed” hairstyles, which were not only a mark of rebellion but also a practical style for the popular dance music. Dresses became shorter to reflect the ability to move freely while dancing. Jazz fashion reflected elegance, style and creativity.

Heavy metal

The biker, rocker and leather subcultures are associated with heavy metal. One of the main idols is considered to be Rob Halford, who wore a leather costume on stage in 1978 to coincide with the promotion for the Killing Machine. His look involved combat boots, studded belts and bracelets, bullet belts, spiked gauntlets etc.

Country

Country music popularized the simplicity. Country talks about singer`s hometown and tracks, so country singers wear practical plaid shirts and cowboy boots, which are considered to be a must for a country singer.

Glam Rock

Glam Rock reached its peak in the mid of 1970s. The main drivers of this style were T.Rex, David Bowie, Sweet, Roxy Music and Gary Glitter. It influenced a lot on the formation of gothic rock which was informed by the bright make-up, clothes, theatricality and sound. Designers took an inspiration from the performances costumes. Glam rock combined various styles but its main distinguishing features are outrageous clothes, makeup, hairstyles and platform boots.

Even though it is in our nature to follow the common trend, modern people are being much less influenced by the music stars style as it used to be, however, music cultures still influence an individual`s fashion trends to a certain extend. Today a lot of people can disapprove the statement: “You are what you listen to”.

Expressionism in fashion by Admin

Expressionism was a modernist movement that was developed as an avant-garde style, originating in Germany in 1905-1925 years. It affected not only fine art but also architecture, literature, theatre, dance and music. Expressionism is focused on the artist’s sensibility and emotions to the world’s representation. It tends to be emotional, distorted, exaggerated and sometimes mystical. The colour is intense and not naturalistic, brushwork is usually free and agitating and paint is usually applied in big amount that makes the painting more textured.

The most well-known expressionists are Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Egon Schiele.

Japanese influence on fashion – kimono by Admin

A kimono (着物, きもの), translated as “the thing worn”. It is a traditional Japanese clothing that is defined by its “T” shape and decorative patterns.

Kimonos became very popular among Japanese people during the Heian period (794-1192). They began using straight-line-cut method (cutting fabric in straight lines) in XX century as it offered many advantages such as easy folding and were suitable for any kind of weather. Breathable fabric was used for summer and for winter, kimono was worn in layers to provide warmth.

Since then, Japanese people started to pay attention to the colours and patterns of kimono. Generally, colour combinations represented either season colours or the political class they belong to.

Toward the end of the 19th century, the obsession of Japanese culture, art and style, including kimono, spread around the world.

Kimonos are the must-have piece. They come in different beautiful patterns and can be worn with absolutely everything! Long, short or with long sleeves – kimonos are charming in every size and form. They are a perfect garment for summer days because they’re light and breathable but can be also used at chilly nights to have something on your shoulders.

Here are a few tips how to wear modern kimono:

The most casual look is to combine a patterned kimono with jeans or shorts and white t-shirt.

It’s a perfect match to your bathing suit.

Combine colourful kimono with your all black or all white outfit.

Belt your kimono over jeans or a dress.

Pair your kimono with a short or maxi dress.

Wide-leg jeans and kimono = boho style with a 70s vibe

Top accessories 2017 by Admin

Lately, we have tried to make sure that we do not miss out on any dress combinations that this fall could complement your fashion style. The objects of our attention are bags, boots, jewelry pieces and other fashion accessories.

Beret

The berets, along with their warm jackets and heavy boots, came to the shelves of the most famous high-street stores. If you want to freshen up your style, this is the perfect suggestion. By the example of Dior, you can add a wonderful drop.

Bags with cartoon characters

The trend that runs together with the floral print from year to year is comic print. Comic strips with well-known balloons that often carry
funny or commercially-talked-in character, decorate items and details like bags. Print with cartoon characters on your bag is also a fashion trend that has been identified by the famous brand Prada.

Pearls

The timeless pearl will always remain in vogue. Pearls can completely transform clothes, and many women with a pearl necklace feel like Odri Hepburn and Merilin Monroe. Pearls have a magic charm that can turn you into an elegant and sophisticated young woman. This season, the fashion industry gives the pearls a new life, we can see pearls everywhere, on the catwalks and the main streets.

Red boots

Red boots are officially a fashion piece that you must have in your shoe collection. Half-deep, deep, over the knees, metallic or decorated with thread – it’s not very important, as much as the color itself, because with them, any dress combination will look remarkably this autumn.

How to be warm and stylish by Admin

November is the time when you start to freeeeezzzzeee. Many of us do not like winter as we feel like we just want to wear something warm and cozy, not thinking about looking stylish.

CM decided to show you a few MUST HAVE for this cold season, which will make you warm and stylish at the same time.

BIG SCARF

The first MUST HAVE which saved so many people from freezing for many-many years. Yes, this is not the first year when big scarfs are helping us, and, hopefully, they will stay with us for a while.

OVESIZED SWEATER WITH A TURTLE NECK

The coziest+stylish look ever! Nothing feels better than a big and warm sweater in a cold day with a cup of coffee. If you don’t have something like that, look through your mothers’ or fathers’ wardrobe, you will definitely find something similar there.

LONG JACKET

This is definitely a trend of this season. A ‘baggy’ jacket won’t hamper your movement, so your look will be both: stylish and comfortable.

DOWN JACKET

One more trend of 2017 – a down jacket! Yes, it is not elegant. Yes, it is boyish. Yes, it is not fancy. But who cares about that if it is cozy, warm and comfy?

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For by Admin

Most of us know a brand CHANEL. Some of us know a bit about the story of Chanel. And only a few of us know that Coco Chanel made a revolution in fashion back in the 20^th century.

CM decided to tell you about six things that we can thank Coco Chanel for.

TROUSERS FOR WOMEN

Nowadays, trousers are something we wear on a regular basis. But can you imagine that back in the 20^th century women were wearing only skirts. Coco Chanel was the first women who started to wear trousers.

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS

The little black dress is always a thing. This is something we would wear to a date or to work, or even for a fancy event. It is something that probably every girl has in her wardrobe. Guess who we should thank for that simple, but fabulous outfit? – Coco Chanel.

DESIGNER PERFUME

The history of Chanel №5 is so fascinating. Generally, back at the time when all perfume was made from natural floral components, Chanel 5 was the first one, which was made from unnatural ingredients. It created a very unusual smell and became very popular among 20^th century ladies.

THE CHANEL SUIT

If you read a biography of Coco Chanel it would be very clear that she loved to wear clothes for men and most of her ideas came from male clothes. The Chanel suit is one of such examples.

THE CHANEL TWO-TWO PUMP

Coco has been always firstly for wearing something that you would feel comfortable in. High heels are not her style, two-two pump is so Chanel.

FAUX PEARLS

PEARLS! PEARLS! PEARLS! How much do we girls love pearls. They always look fancy and fabulous. Chanel would put several necklaces would pearls and it would look amazing.

Coco Chanel made a huge revolution in fashion. She invented a totally different style. We, CM team, think that the biggest input that Gabriel Chanel made is that women can feel comfortable and stay fabulous at the same time.

“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening” by Coco Chanel

What does the color say? by Admin

We all know that every color has a particular psychological meaning, but we do not think about that when creating our look. Usually, we just wear something we like or feel comfortable in not thinking about the fact that the color spectrum of the outfit we’ve chosen might give a wrong message about us or even TALK inappropriate.

CM decided to give you several tips about when and where better to wear the most popular colors.

Black

Classic black has so many faces and meanings. Usually people find it as a depressing color. We could definitely say NO to that. Black at the same time represent power and elegance, discipline and mystery.

When thinking what to wear to a job interview, black might me a good choice.

White

This simple color represents so many things: Purity, cleanliness, safety, strength, peace. But try to combine it with another color in your outfit. Too much white can project coldness and isolation.

BTW, white is also a great option for a job interview. People more likely to trust those, who wear white.

Red

We all know that if you want to attract attention, wear red. It represents passion, power, energy. Wear red when you want to be assertive, need an energy boost or exude sexuality.

Blue

This color can represent so many things depending on the shade.

Generally, blue represents authority, structure, communication, dependability, trust and loyalty.

However, some shades can project coldness. Wear blue whenever you are going to communicate with new people and they will definitely treat you with lots of respect.

Pink

The color of love. Represent affection and serenity. But be accurate with this color. People are likely not to take seriously those who wear lots of pink.

Green

Green represents security, abundance, growth and luck. But be very accurate with shades of Green. CM would advise you to wear dark green or grass green.

Wear green whenever you feel calm.

Yellow

The color of sun. It represents happiness, freedom, optimism. Yellow is a great choice if you don’t want to become depressed during a rainy day.

CM advises you to use the colors to make a great impression and desired effect.

Manolo Blahnik

We all know this brand from our favorite show “Sex in the City”. Manolo Blahnik’s was the favorite brand of Carrie Bradshaw, and yes, their shoes are FABULOUS!Manolo Blahnik style is today recognizable throughout the world, and is based on references to the aristocratic and female sex appeal.

DELPOZO

Delpozo artistic director is Josep Font, Barcelona architect. Font education is particularly evident in his design. The spaciousness of the clothes makes them seem separated from the body. Dresses resemble modern Madrid buildings. This is the perfect place to shop in, if you are tired of typical designs.

Office Outfits for the Summer by Admin

Lifeguards and swimsuit models have it way easier than the rest of us that work in an office – The struggle on deciding what to wear in these bipolar weather conditions is real!
Here are a few tricks to keep in mind.

#1 BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS

Never go too bare. Always be aware of the environment you are working in and stay within its boundaries. If you are a business professional attending one meeting to another, think loose and keep covered. You can never go wrong with a light loose blouse, some breezy midi skirt, and a pair of comfy court shoes. It is super important that you do not undermine your professionalism with your choice of clothes.

#2 CREATIVE START-UPS/ CREATIVE FREELANCER

When it comes to creative work places it is acceptable to bare a little skin. Maybe a sleeveless top, palazzo pants or a shirt dress to be able to survive the warmer months. Additionally, if you are that creative freelancer, such outfit ideas will make the running round town a tad more bearable. However, still do keep in mind that plunging necklines, peek midriffs and rising hems are always considered inappropriate for work.

#3 INTERNSHIPS

It may be hard to welcome the summer season with open arms whilst still needing to look internship-appropriate. Try go for something youthful but appropriate. Something like a vibrant patterned blouse, breezy pants, and flats and maybe some casual jewelry. It is good to keep in mind though, that unless you have been informed ahead about the office’s dress code it would be a good idea to dress up formally for the beginning.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES TO ABIDE BY WHEN IT COMES TO DRESSING UP FOR THE OFFICE – IF YOU WOULD WEAR IT TO THE BEACH IT IS A DEFINITE NO-GO !

I my self are really exited for this Fashion event in Barcelona. The fashion market is something I definitely will pay a visit to, hoping to find something nice to extend my summer wardrobe with. When it comes to the fashion shows and brands MIQUEL SUAY is one that caught my eye with their beautiful wedding dresses. Others are MARIA ROCH and GEMA SACH, two brands with more casual clothing. I really like the patterns of the GEMA SACH clothing. One particular item that i also like is TORRAS leather shirt. Lastly, I am really looking forward to see the shows of TEXELL MIRAS and BRAIN&BEAST, two brands that really thinks outside the box.

Best outfits at the Billboard Music Awards 2017 by Admin

On May 21st the annual Billboard Music Awards took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Billboard Music Award is an honour given by Billboard, the publication and music popularity chart that covers the music industry. This year’s event was hosted by nobody less than Drake. At the same time he was awarded 13 of those golden microphones. Famous artists like Nicki Minaj, Céline Dion, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus and Jason Derulo performed on stage during the event.

An award show is the perfect celebrity gathering to show off the most amazing fashion styles. As much as I love and respect the music industry, the attendees’ styles and fashion excite me even more. These are my personal favourite outfits of the night.

CELINE DION

Céline Dion celebrated the 20th anniversary of her song, “My Heart Will Go On,” by performing the classic hit from inside a chandelier that hung from the venue’s ceiling. Her performance astonished all the guests and was followed by a standing ovation.

Her state-of-the art couture dress designed by Stephane Roland has white long sleeves, a floor length gown, satin shoulders and a plunging neckline. Céline looks elegant but sober and I think it does her perfect performance all the more credit.

CAMILA CABELLO

Camila Cabello did not only make her debut as a solo artist while performing on the Billboard Music Awards but also stole the show with her stunning looks. She claimed her place in the spotlights with her red Latina sequin dress covered with lace details. This dress is part of the pre-fall collection from Jonathan Simkai.

She performed the first single of her upcoming album, The Hurting, the Healing, the Loving, called “Crying in the Club”.

HAILEE STEINFELD

Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld brought sparkles to the Billboard Music Awards with her shining silver metal dress designed by David Koma.

The Pitch Perfect star chose the Georgian designer’s see-through dress with black undergarments, high stiletto boots and black nail polish. She looked absolutely untameable in this sci-fi animal print piece. Her smoky eyes finished the whole loose animal look.
