Au Naturel
Au Naturel:
French adjective or adverb for:
In a natural state. Bare. Naked, nude.
Pure matter and Pure form.
The freedom of bodies, exposing also our minds and souls.
We are able to achieve a peaceful state of mind through various ways, one of them is by color.
Soothing our senses, the golds the whites the blushes.
Inviting colors for reflection. Colors that bring serenity and balance. Like a soft canvas for our daily lives, that surround our own colors and complement without overwhelming your vital space.
Let's surrender, to the lightness of it all.
Naturalmente.

Men and their top 10.....
Metrosexual doesn't have to be a stigma, it's a reality and we love it! We embrace our men's sense of style; we love to breathe it, glance at it, and hug it. GQ was a godsend, even though we could use more about men and fewer women in it. Even though half of what they say is pointless and raw, it still has a very accurate and simple guide to follow to achieve a decent style. We hate, with a capital "H", sloppy. There shouldn't be an excuse to wear your team's jersey unless you happen to be at least 50 feet away from the actual team, you are under the age of 10, or you are at the Milwaukee airport. There is absolutely no excuse for the stained, the baggy, the wrinkled, the pleated, the checkered, the stinky, the oversized, the mismatched, the outdated. Men are responsible for beauty as well. We were created equal, they say. Equally beautiful in our own ways; so embrace it, live it, believe it. We don't believe there are ugly people in this world, there are merely sloppy people in this world. Everybody with a good attitude and a good shoe can make a remarkable entrance. Anybody with a good cologne will turn heads. It's not about what you spend it's how you spend it. It's all about pleasing our senses. It's not all about the hard-to-grab muscles, hard-to-lay-on-while-movie-watching muscles. It's about what we smell, what we touch, what we feel, what we see. Pamper yourself to something beautiful; we will enjoy it too! Pretty please with a cherry on top..........
10 wardrobe must haves:
1. Verstile sport coat
2. hip casual shoes (no square toe)
3. a mid-thigh level swimsuit (no jams, no speedos please)
4. fitted button down shirts (solid and patterned)
5. a fitted trench or overcoat
6. Dark wash, straight leg jeans
7. short boxer brief underwear (underwear lines are worse in men)
8. tailored cashmere sweaters
9. athletic styled t-shirts with some stretch
10. semi-stylish sweat suits and gym clothes (no high school t-shirts)
and for the accessories.....
1. money clip or bill-fold (No fat wallets)
2. a sporty-classy timepiece watch
3. brown-black reversible leather belt
4. partner pre-approved cologne
5. an attache
6. ties measuring 11/2 to 2 inches at their widest point
7. a tie bar
8. metal or black cufflinks
9. stylish sunglasses (no sporty kind unless playing beach volleyball)
10. a beautiful woman (or man)

Our Friends!
Canela-Canela Style Consulting.
Always ready to lend a hand, an extra pair of eyes, laughter and joy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. We appreciate our Canela-Canela friends!!!! Love you all!
"I can honestly say that investing in getting organized is so worth it! That's exactly what happened when I asked Gabriela and Adriana to help me organize my closet and create different outfit ideas. Not only was every piece organized, but they combined and reinvented so many pieces that I never had thought of. I travel extensively for work and therefore need ideas that are easy and quick so that getting ready in the morning is a snap. Pictures taken of outfits and arranged in an album make that possible! They created such efficiency for me that I can wait for the next project!
