COCO COACH The Fall-Winter 2014/15 Campaign

I’m in love with this campaign from Chanel, fitness and fashion are coming together. Activewear is becoming “the modern girl’s streetwear.” (From Uri Minkoff) Women are transcending a lifestyle of being healthy into being fashionable while at it. The trend of wearing workout gear inside and out of the gym is becoming a thing, specially for this fall 2014, thanks to the popularity of sporty elements in the street style and the adding touch of sports in the runways. So wether you like sports or not, it is possible you will be wearing activewear for next season. I love this new trend designers are calling “haute casual” or “sports deluxe.” What do you think?

Estoy enamorada de la nueva campaña de Chanel, creo que lo “fitness” y la moda se están mezclando de una forma muy peculiar pero muy interesante. La ropa deportiva se está volviendo el día a día de la mujer moderna, incluso para ir al trabajo. Creo que la mujer está transcendiendo en un estilo de vida saludable sin dejar de ser fashionista. Esta nueva tendencia de vestir ropa deportiva dentro y fuera del gimnasio está creciendo gracias a la popularidad de los toques “sport” en el street style y los elementos deportivos ahora vistos en las pasarelas. Así que, aunque no hagan ejercicio, probablemente vestirán ropa deportiva en algún momento durante la siguiente temporada. Me encanta esta nueva tendencia. ¿Ustedes qué opinan?

The feeling of missing… just missing

Ph. by Fernanda Casillas

“The hardest thing is not talking to someone you used to talk everyday.”

There are a lot of feelings that define us, that mold us, that come to our lives every once in a while, however, I think that the feeling of missing someone or even something is extremely gloomy. We miss our parents when we go on a field trip in our early age, we miss our home town when we go study abroad, we miss our loved one when we get heart broken, we miss the people who have left us, we miss our beds when we travel, we miss the place that stole our hearts, we miss ourselves when we try to be someone else. I mean, we even miss our bodies when we were young, when we were skinny. I don’t think anybody can be saved from this feeling. We all have experienced it, even for a moment when we realize that our life is not complete at all. We sometimes miss a friend for an entire day in which we want to hold her (or him) or just be by her (or his) side to listen to us. What is it that you miss the most? Who is it that you miss the most? Can you reach the people or things you miss?

Wedding around the corner?

Do you have a wedding around the corner? I know how important it is to have everything you need for the big day. However, we are so focused on the dress that we forget to choose the right shoes or the right accessories which are the ones that will enhance or diminish the dress, so they are important too. You want to choose shoes that will make you feel secure and comfortable at the same time, and sometimes these are hard to find.

I want to recommend this amazing local designer in Mexico. Cristina Mourey designs orthopedic and personalized wedding shoes with all the comfort you need. After graduating from marketing and fashion design, she worked as a fashion stylist for a well known wedding store in Monterrey Mexico. This brought her all the insight of what brides and grooms ask for the big day, so last October she decided to open Cristina Mourey Bride.

She designs the shoe you want depending on the location of the wedding and of course, your dress. She can personalize the design, the material, the fittings, the rhinestones, and the size of the heel to whatever fits your needs. She also offers different kinds of materials for the inside and outside of the shoe, and different colors and textures. All of the shoes are lined up in leather from the inside making them extremely comfortable. You can see examples of the designs in her Facebook page or through Instagram. Cristina Mourey also offers beautiful hair accessories, some inspirational ideas for your guests, and fun things that you can wear at your wedding that will make this event even more memorable. Check her out and you can make your orders through Facebook or her webpage. Thank you for reading!

 

 

¿Ya se van a casar? ¿Tienen alguna boda en puerta? Yo sé lo importante que es tener todo listo para el gran día, pero a veces nos enfocamos tanto en el vestido que nos olvidamos de los zapatos y los accesorios que son parte fundamental para levantar el vestido. Cuando se casen, y lo digo por experiencia, necesitan zapatos cómodos que las hagan sentir seguras y cómodas al mismo tiempo, y a veces son muy difíciles de encontrar. 

Quiero recomendarles a una excelente diseñadora Mexicana. Cristina Mourey diseña zapatos de novia ortopédicos y personalizados con todo el confort que necesitan. Después de graduarse de mercadotecnia y diseño de modas, trabajó cómo estilista en una tienda de novias en Monterrey México. Fue así como ella observó lo que realmente necesitaban las novias en su día, entonces el pasado Octubre decidió abrir “Cristina Mourey Brides.”

Ella diseña el zapato dependiendo del lugar de la boda y del vestido. Además personaliza el diseño, el material, la aplicación, los herrajes, moños, pedrería y el tamaño del tacón de acuerdo a lo que la novia le pida. También ofrece diferentes tipos de materiales para el interior y exterior del zapato, así como diferentes texturas y colores. Todos los zapatos están forrados en piel por dentro haciéndolos muy cómodos. Pueden ver todos sus diseños en su Página de Facebook o a través de Instagram. Cristina Mourey también ofrece accesorios hermosos para el pelo, algunas ideas increíbles para regalar a sus invitados y cosas diferentes y divertidas que harán este día aún más inolvidable. Vean sus diseños y hagan sus pedidos a través de Facebook o de su página de Internet. ¡Están increíbles!
