The Gold Coast is a coastal city in South East Queensland on the east coast of Australia. Fast-track fun, where the high-rises are built around superb surf beaches like Surfers Paradise. Dive into lively nightlife, international theme parks and designer boutiques, see the coast from a Spitfire plane and cheer on competitors in the Coolangatta Ocean Swim. Experience the opulent Palazzo Versace or head to the hinterland for rainforest walks and spa retreats.

4. Tamborine Mountain: Some say tzhis is the green behind the gold, which makes the Gold Coast so seductive, and it’s easy to see why Tamborine Mountain is in tune with tourists. Let’s start with the rainforest, in the third oldest National Park in the world, which celebrates the remnants of the former Mount Warning volcano. There are numerous walks and lookouts

from which to enjoy Mother Nature at her most blindingly brilliant, including the mysteriously-named Witches Falls or charming Cedar Creek.

DIY Glitter Bowl

Isn’t Pinterest awesome? As we were scrolling (as we do pretty much everyday) we found this amazing DIY glitter bowl, not only is it super easy to make, but the bowl itself is pretty fabulous. What girl doesn’t want a little bit of glitter and shine? You can place numerous things hair ties, bobby pins, spare change, rings, or leave it just as home décor.

What you’re going to need for this project is: * 2 cups of glitter * 1 cup of Mod Podge * 1 balloon * 1 paintbrush * 2 bowls First you’re going to mix the glitter and the Mod Podge into the bowl, until they’re well blended. Blow up your balloon, tie a knot and place it on one of the bowls with the tie facing down. Now, using your paintbrush you’re going to start spreading your glitter mixture on the surface of the balloon creating a bowl shape or you can create a new design with different curves. You’re going to let it dry for at least 24 hours. When time us up you can turn it over and pop the balloon; just remove the leftover pieces and that’s it! You’ll have your very own stylish glitter bowl.

Hello!!! Lets talk about shoes, they are the key to every outfit. This year there are many awesome trends that I absolutely love. I have been on the hunt to find affordable yet stylish shoes that are in trend. I always say, why spend hundreds or thousands on a pair of shoes that will soon go out of style when you can buy a pair of each style at a more reasonable price. Platform shoes are very fun or as we call them today, chunky heels

or sandals. They are such a 70’s vibe, I love it! Mules are a style that I remember wearing as a child, in many different styles. They were probably the easiest and most used pair because you can just slip them on. Another look that is popular among these styles are the straps.

Single or double straps, its all about the straps! Now, lets take a look at a style that we have literally been seeing everywhere and that is fringe. This does not only

Cheeky Chicks apply to our clothes or accessories but also our shoes. I love the flare that fringe adds because it goes with almost every style. Another amazing trend that we have been seeing around is the lace up look.

It is on flats, sandals, heels, and even booties. I remember my mom wearing strappy heels all the time and I loved the way they looked on her. I remember telling myself that I would one day own a pair just like her. Now years later, I am doing just as she did, rocking lace ups shoes. Let me just say, shoes are my

guilty pleasure and I could go on and on talking about them but lets end with a oldie and new favorite of mine and that would be oxfords and sneakers. They are so comfy to wear, great on your feet but cute to dress down an outfit or simplify it. I guess, that is all for now. Head over to my blog at stylebymaribel.com or my instagram @ stylebymaribel and let me know your favorite trends for this year. I hope you enjoyed the few shoes trends that I am currently loving, can’t wait to know what yours are!

Q: When did Cheeky Chicks open? How did the idea come about?

A: I opened my doors in 2007, originally as just a woman’s boutique. In 2010, friends of mine in the salon industry approached me with opening a joint boutique and spa. I thought this idea was brilliant and ran with it. We added the med spa services in 2013 and have since found that each aspect of the business compliments each other.

Q: What does Cheeky Chicks offer that makes it different from other boutiques in this area?

A: We pride ourselves on our customer service. All of our saleswomen are passionate, helpful and have the unique ability to make the customer feel special. We are also exited to carry Alberto Makali, My Tribe, and Julia Jordan.

Q: Is there a specific concept behind the boutique?

A:My goal in creating Cheeky Chicks was to create a unique approach to boutique shopping, pampering and styling.

Every woman likes high-end service and convenience.

I am lucky to have some of the most talented staff in the industry that buy into the one-stop-shop concept.

Q: What are your future plans for the El Paso location?

A: We plan to add a salon and spa to our El Paso location. We also are working to expand our boutique to carry more lines that the El Paso market does not offer, for example, our Parker Smith denim are a favorite of Gigi Hadid and Jennifer Aniston.

Q:How does the El Paso location differ from the Las Cruces location?

A:Cheeky Chicks Mesilla offers full salon services like hair, gel nails, pedicures, manicures, make-up, waxing, sugaring, facials, microdermabrasion, injectables and dermal Fillers.

Currently, Cheeky Chicks El Paso is strictly a boutique, offering clothing and accessories. I’ve found that El Paso is a really fun market, in that customers are more trendy, and willing to get out of their comfort zone a little more, so that allows us more liberty in our buying.

COROCORO

South American boutique

By Zinzia Quiñonez

Q: How and why was Corocoro was opened?

Mirrored sunglasses are all of the rage this summer. Sure, this trend is not new, but it’s definitely making a comeback. Sunglasses, just like clothing, give us an opportunity to express ourselves and have fun while doing so. When it comes to this trend, there is really no downside; they are sleek and dashing.

Best yet, everyone can where them because they come in different shapes and sizes depending on your preferences.

No. 9 / 36

A:Corocoro gallery and cultural boutique was opened in 2012 with the belief that art is the most powerful instrument for social change at our reach.

It is a hurdle to bring the social reality of South America alive through art, because that social reality is not all beautiful. It can even be painful. Yet, there is a way to bring South America’s painful past and present to the surface through images that are alive with color, who’s subject matter is beautiful, but that upon deeper reflection can convey a message that

is as raw as war or hunger.

When Corocoro opened its doors, it went against the rule that social neutrality was good business. South America is a place where art and social struggle are indivisible. Rather than avoid the controversial, Corocoro embraced it. Corocoro would not be ignored. It took time, but, steadily, word traveled that Corocoro dealt not only in art and fashion but ideas as well. “We wanted our patrons to know that the items they selected were made by human hands, that those hands had a story and now those patrons were a part of that story too.”

FASHION Authentic Embera “KARAKABI” Beaded Necklace from Panama; Price $110

Q: What is the specific concept behind the store?

A:The concept behind Corocoro was born from short works of fiction authored by its owner, artist Raúl Peláez-Prada. In those short stories Corocoro is a village of some thirty adobe houses set in the wilderness where the historical and fantastic intertwine to tell impossible stories of love, hate, triumph, tragedy where treasures abound in the form of experiences. That is where the store obtained its name. Inspired by those stories the store strives to become a destination; a living, breathing place of magic realism where everything is one of a kind.

A: Our products cannot be found anywhere in Austin. They cannot be found together in any one place in the entire U.S. The products are not found by visiting a trade show or an expo even if that expo is located in South America.

We seek out artists and artisans NEVER intermediaries.

We know our suppliers personally by name and consider them our friends, our family. In order to speak about the products we must deeply understand the cultures those products represent. As a result, our patrons are informed patrons.

We make social discourse part of the shopping experience.

Reflejo de Oro

Se acerca el verano, eso quiere decir vacaciones, playa y bronceados perfectos, aunque a veces no podemos darnos el lujo de ir a la playa o si lo hacemos es difícil acertar cuanto sol es suficiente para tener ese rostro moreno radiante y no quedar como un tomate e intentar productos de bronceado pueden darte un look anaranjado. Pero gracias a los dioses del maquillaje existe un producto tan magnifico que puede darle a tu rostro un brillo fenomenal sin tener que salir de tu casa, ¡el rubor broceado! (¡bravo!)

Ahora, si tiene su ciencia lograr este look, créanlo o no es posible hacer un desastre del rubor bronceado si no sabemos cómo aplicarlo o que tono utilizar por eso te damos algunos consejos para lucir increíble: 1. No trates de fingir tu bronceado: El error más común, utilizar un rubor bronceado muy oscuro, esto solo

No. 9 / 40

oscurecerá el rostro. Opta por utilizar rubores con un brillo sutil (muy brilloso se ve artificial y barato) y que sea un medio tono más oscuro que el color de tu piel.

2. Poco a poco aplica el rubor: Para obtener un look realista, primero es necesario utilizar una brocha gruesa para aplicar el polvo, sacudirla un poco antes de ponértelo y aplícalo a lo largo del perímetro de tu cara, primero en tus pómulos hacia la línea de tu cabello y después una ligera pasada en tu mandíbula (aunque parezca extraño esto es para darle contorno y afinación a tu rostro). Evita ponerte rubor en el puente de tu nariz pues esto hará que resalten las ojeras (¡¡¡NO!!!)

3. La ultima y nos vamos: Con la broncha (sin polvo) vuelve a darle una pasada en donde aplicaste tu rubor bronceado para suavizar el color y eliminar algún destello extraño que haya quedado.

Dorado audaz para tu hogar

En verdad que el dorado es uno de mis colores favoritos. Me encanta que puedes usarlo en cualquier ocasión para tener una apariencia completamente chic, pero no solo tiene este efecto en tu ropa o maquillaje también puedes utilizar el dorado para decorar cualquier habitación y por supuesto que hará que luzca radiante.

E t i qu e t a s

Hay muchas técnicas para darle un destello de luz a tu hogar, en esta edición te compartimos como hacerlo utilizando el dorado.

Siendo el color de la temporada te presentamos algunas ideas algo intrépidas que son fáciles de hacer y que cambiaran el aspecto de tu casa de ordinario a extraordinario. Advertencia, es solo para los atrevidos.

l u n a r e s

Este proyecto esta super facil de hacer. Solo necesitaras papel de contacto autoadhesivo por supuesto de color dorado y un perforador (para círculos pequeños, si quieres círculos más grandes tendrás que cortarlos con tijeras). Una vez que hayas definido el tamaño de los círculos y el espacio donde los pondrás, solo tienes que perforar (o cortar) y pegar, acomodando los círculos a tu gusto y preferencia.

Pa

p

e

l

Por ultimo tenemos el famoso papel para pared, que sirve como si pintaras tu pared pero en vez de solo ser de un color, pueden ser varios o con algún diseño.

Es totalmente original y fácil de colocar. Se consiguen en las mismas tiendas ya mencionadas y el precio va a variar dependiendo de la cantidad que necesites aproximadamente entre 300 – 500 pesos.

Ahora si no te encantan los proyectos caseros y no quieres pasar todo tu día cortando círculos, también puedes comprar etiquetas para tu pared que le darán ese detalle espectacular a tu sala, cocina o donde sea que decidas ponerla.

Las puedes conseguir en Amazon.com en 350 pesos más el envió o en tiendas como Hobby Lobby y Michaels por el mismo precio.

¡Hasta pronto!
