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 20th century.

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

TROUSERS FOR WOMEN

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For

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

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For

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

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For

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 20th century ladies.

THE CHANEL SUIT

183fc16ac225e47fe5e2e7ad471b5fa5

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

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For

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

6 Things You Can Thank Coco Chanel For

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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

What does the color say?

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.

XOXO

Healthy Lifestyle: Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body by Admin

A healthy mind breeds a health body and vise versa!

A healthy lifestyle can have a great impact on a person’s life! The human body and mind interact in an impressive way that works reciprocally.
The result of this interaction affects a human’s well-being greatly. Nowadays, many people are aware that their emotions may have a massive impact on their physical health. However, very few are aware that their physical condition also has a very powerful impact on their mental health and emotions.

This article will be going through a number of things one can do to improve their mental well-being by mainly taking care of their body.
Firstly, it is of utmost importance that we accept the fact that there is a strong psychological link between the body and brain. This way we will understand the importance of taking care of our body and ultimately feeling better both mentally and physically.

Nowadays, due to such hectic lives, many of us deal with a number of emotional states from time to time. This results into changes in our psychological well-being, both positively and negatively. These negative emotional states such as stress, anxiety, depression and so on are ones we try to fight through in various ways.
However, did you know that one of the most effective ways to do this is by controlling your body in effective ways?

EXERCISE

The first and most important is to exercise, exercise and exercise! Many people tend to underestimate the effectiveness of exercise and sport on mental health. However, in reality it is emphasized by many that physical activity alleviates symptoms that are associated with negative emotions. Yoga, for example, is known to heal the soul and that is a journey of the self, through the self and to the self. 

Ashley Turner, a yoga teacher and licensed psychotherapist states –
“Yoga is a psychology – the whole practice helps us work with the nature of the mind, the nature of being a human, how emotions live in our bodies, how they affect our behavior and our minds.”

Healthy Lifestyle

FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE – HEALTHY EATING, AVOIDING BAD HABITS AND POSITIVE THINKING

We must make sure to eat nutritious healthy meals. Drink a sufficient amount of water daily, get the advised 7 hours of sleep every night, and avoid cigarettes, alcohol and drugs. This guarantees more of a healthy lifestyle in general. Also, giving your brain and thinking box a break is proved to be very effective to improve the mental well-being overall.
Therefore, make sure to give your brain time to relax or just think of new, creative ideas that will create positive vibes.

Healthy Lifestyle

MINDFULNESS

Capture Models highly recommends this emerging phenomenon called Mindfulness.
This involves observing everything around us without filtering anything by our thoughts – Be the master of your body!
For instance,  focus on your breath whilst having your eyes closed, rather than constantly thinking about your daily activities. So just listen to your body at least once a day.

Healthy Lifestyle

If you do consider putting these into practice, I believe that your mind and body will be in sync and result into a healthier mind, body and lifestyle.
Nowadays, people spend way too much money on artificial things to live just one day longer. So why not just treat your body well and take precaution to live healthier?

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.

Fire

“The one who lights Sant Joan will not get burnt all year.”

This celebration is an old tradition and has a lot of elements , where fire is the most important one, which explains the fireworks and bonfires. According to traditions will “The Flame of the Canigó” or Canigó’s flame light bonfires all over Catalonia. This year it’s 50 years since ” La Flama del Canigó” first arrived in the city, which makes this year’s Sant Juan Night extra special.

Toilet

“Bathe on Sant Joan and you’ll be healthy all year round”

Water is also an element of Sant Joan, according to legend and tradition a swim will cure ails, aches and pains. If you celebrate this festival on the beach, and it feels like a swim on mid-night, you will not be the only one.

Herbs

“Herbs of Sant Joan keep their strength all year”

Legend says that on the night of San Juan herbs are one hundred times stronger than usual. Thyme, Rosemary and Verbena are collected and eaten during this event.

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.
