ENJOY THE SPRING DAYS!

It is 12:30 in the morning and there is a lot of noise...

I’m waiting my friends in the corner of 16st with 7 ave. We are going to have brunch, our Sunday’s tradition, eat, drink and get energy to have a good week. Finally my friends arrive and we get inside to Cafeteria. It is a 7/24 restaurant where you can see Chelsea’s essence; stylish people, chic food and New york views.

Cafeteria is always crowded because is very popular for the fashion new Yorkers and one of the must have restaurants for this 2015. In the bar there are busy barman preparing cool cocktails. The appearance is very important and so chic with original details. When we sit, the waiter just comes to take note of our command. I don’t check the menu because I know perfectly what I want; smoke salmon with benedict eggs, my favorite.

After eat we still talking, in Spain is called "sobremesa". Finally we order some waffles, they’re delicious. It is already dark, how fast the time goes when you feel good, right? We decide to take a walk, we are so close to the Chelsea market and Meatpacking stores too. This area is one of my favorite in NY.

If we check Chelsea’s Street style for this 2015 winter we can see that long coats are the winner. Also high boots, black and White colors combination and cream are popular too with black totes. The sport outfit is trendy this year; buttons shirts, jeans and sneakers with a leather jacket are the perfect combination. This year keep warm and be fashion is not impossible. 

Williamsburg is one of the most modern and alternative neighbourhood in Brooklyn because a lot of artists moved here. It has really good communication with the subway and buses, so that makes it a perfect place for all the art lovers and people with their own style. 

Bedford Avenue is one of the most important streets and we can see the lifestyle of Williamsburg; bicycles in the street, fresh flowers in the stores, graffiti everywhere or commercial stores are mixing here. The buildings look so similar to the Soho ones, old constructions, fire escapes in front of the street but still keeping the New Yorker style.

Walking around we find Soot and Tusk, a cute store for emergent and sustainable designers. They have a extend clothing and accessories collections for women and men and the store has a modern style with metallically pieces as furniture.

In the hangers of this place in the middle of Williamsburg there are Guiem and Ecoology, two ecologic and made in Spain Designers. In one hand Guiem’s collection gets some colour for dress alternative guys who want have style. On the other hand Ecoology makes you fall in love with their designs, they make you look fabulous and invite you to take the life slower and enjoy more of the little things.

Williamsburg became in a fashion’s referent in New York. We hope that Ecoology and Guiem get a reference too because they are in the best place to do it! 

Also you can shop their designs in our ONLINE SHOP

BEIÑ ROADTRIP

After 8 days in a trip, we’re back in New York. Here you can read our diary’s trip where you can see what we visited, how we lived it and, for sure, our outfits.

Day 1 NYC-LAS VEGAS

We start the Roadtrip! We got a flight direction to Las Vegas, the city of the games. After 5 hours, finally we arrived. The suitcases were full and we had a lot of energy. We walked around to Las Vegas Boulevard, also know as The Strip. This is the main street where you can find the most important hotels; Caesars Palace, Bellagio, MGM…

The outfit was casual and so comfortable to travel and be adequate to Nevada’s weather and with a hipster touch with the hat. Anyway, the trendy in Las Vegas is a party and elegant outfit with high heels and long dresses for her and tie and smoking for him.

Day 2 LAS VEGAS-GRAND CANYON

The second day we woke up really early, at 4 am in the morning! We decided to wear a sportive outfit because we going to the mountain and we wore the Red and Rouge turbans. They kept our heads warm with style

After two hours in the bus, finally we arrived to the Hulapai Ranch in the Grand Canyon West. There were amazing views, the kind of that they take your breath. You can’t imagine how beautiful is until you are there. The colours were mixed between the rocks and the plants. It was so cold but we were well sheltered and fashion as always. After take the traditional American lunch with mash potatoes and gravy with meat, we decided to climb up until the Eagle Point.

From that point you could see better the Grand Canyon, no words. When we come back to Las Vegas, we visited the famous Welcome to Las Vegas Sign and the wedding chapel’s Street.

Day 3 LAS VEGAS-SANTA BARBARA-SOLVANG-SAN JOSE

The third day was a road day. We left Nevada and we visited the Hover Dam, highly recommended. We drove until California, a few hours and an amazing weather was the result. In Santa Barbara we visited a Pier with some stores, where you could relax while you were looking the coconut trees. Our next stop was Solvang, a little village where everything is inspired by the Danish architecture. It seems that you where in a fairy tale. We finished the day in San José; it was an hour driving until San Francisco. This city was charmed where you could see a few of the Californian style; print t-shirts, shorts, hats, the surfer style. For that day I decided to wear destroyed boyfriend jeans and platform’s sneakers, also a print t-shirt and a jacket. We ended the day taking some cocktails in a Mexican bar.

Day 4 SAN JOSE-SAN FRANCISCO

Another rise early morning, we arrived at first hour to the Golden Gate, it is as big as it looks and much bigger. We were well covers with other of our favorite Red and Rouge turbans for the day combined with converse and a knee cut jean.

Also I wore a sweater and a good coat; it was the perfect outfit for a tourist. We visited the Alcatraz Jail, the Pier 39(where you can see sea lions) and Lombard Street, the most steeped street in San Francisco.

We spent the afternoon in the City Hall, where there are the City Hall, the San Francisco Library and big and nice gardens to chill out. The fashion in San Francisco is not the same as in LA, basically because of the weather. It was more similar to New York but more conservative.

To be continued...

Malasaña is a neighborhood in the city centre of Madrid. It is known as the  alternative place to go, but why? Because of its strategic location between Chueca (gay tradition) and Argüelles ( near the University area ). The streets of Malasaña started its history with the movement called the Movida Madrileña of the 70s and 80s. That days this place was full of rock and underground culture around the night of Madrid, right now you can find there hipsters and it is place to find new brands , designers and full of trends and stylish people. 

We start our route with old fashioned bar and pubs as Palentino or Casa Camacho were you can find low cost drinks, never forget to get on "yayo"

Penta or the Via Lactea are locals of Malasaña with a large tradition that keep a little bit of what it was during the Movida Madrileña.

If you are looking for a new outfit or discover colorful clothing, your shops are Trakabarraka or Lady Cacahuete. Monkey Garden is a place with cool brands and emerging designers clothes.

If you are looking for a second hand shop with vintage clothing you must go to El templo de Susu.

Now it is time to eat something, but where? Our recommendation is La Pescaderia or Clarita if your are looking for a good brunch.

Guiëm, the menswear brand that launched its first Spring-Summer 2014 collection last March, now presents its new collection for this Fall-Winter 2014-15, in which nature and the desire to escape from monotony take center stage.

Warm and comfortable fabrics, combined with soft and flattering patterns and geometric and colorful prints, results in versatile, unique and easy to wear garments, that help us into a parallel universe, far from noise, chasing the winter sun rays that slip between the branches of the trees.

Quality materials and careful tailoring define the foundation of the brand. The fabrics used in this new collection are mostly cotton, also betting on organic and recycled materials in some of the clothes. The production is carried out entirely in Spain, in small runs and taking care of every detail to get clothes that will last in time.

The color is again a fundamental value in the collection: red, blue or yellow, on gray, black and white bases, create a color balance combined with exclusive prints created for this season.

A collection in which the hoodies abound, but there is also space for shirts, t-shirts and some bow ties, and that is now available through the online store http://shop.beinfashionspain.com/en/

In 2013 the sales in men´s clothing rose up 10% in USA (Bein&CO) meanwhile women´s clothing only rose up a 0,9% in the same period. The world market for menswear is expected to exceed $402 billion in 2014.

Now men are more worry about fashion, trends and look attractive, they like to go shopping inspired in men´s magazines as GQ, Esquire or Men´s Health. In the past few years there were some men icons inside fashion that became influencers or top bloggers as The Sartorialist. The fashion industry is not only for women. Time and culture changes everyday and this is the result.

Now we are living in a fashion trend called UNIXEX or ANDROGYNOUS, but Is it only a fleeting trend?

"The androgynous fashion is taking more and more strength, understanding it more as an ambiguous mind than a traditional one , a vision that don´t know about gender. It is not just clothes, is a way to express yourself and show it to others, forgetting stereotypes of "masculine" fashion or "feminine." We choose clothing that suits us well and speaks of us, whether girl or boy. Unisex fashion is gaining ground." This is what the designer of Guiëm says about the androgynous trend however is not only women wearing men clothing. Some designers in NYFW presented men collections wearing their models in a more feminism way,

Look this pictures of Guiëm Collection to see that no matter who is inside clothes.

The white shirt is the same as elegance, exclusivity and classy. If you look up the meaning of the SHIRT is " A shirt is a cloth garment for the upper body. Originally an undergarment worn exclusively by men". The white shirt is an icon and a "must" part in a suit of men. Also the tailoring industry was so important and a essential for high-class men for ages. 

However the culture changes everyday and now you could find the shirt like this (see the picture below, the model is wearing a shirt by Guiëm)

Along the history there were some women that started to change the meaning of wearing a shirt as a symbol of independence and to rise the power of women in the real life. One of them was Coco Chanel in 1920 that made popular this cloth making it sexy and attractive. After this years ladies started to borrow the shirts of their fathers to combine with jeans but only as casual and informal outfits.

In 1952 showed up the "Bettina" by Givenchy with a classy touch and after the "shirt" disappeared for some years until 70´s when it became popular again thank to the films and some designers of that years.

Does not matter what social class you come from or if you want to look casual or elegant... the white shirt is always in and is an icon inside fashion. Carolina Herrera has made a line called "The white shirt" as a tribute to this icon in the history of women that means freedom.

Have you hear about anything about "oversize" trend? Is the perfect time to use the "shirt" of your boyfriend and combine what you like the most. We love that trend and encourage all the women to use men clothing in a sexy way.
