I find it refreshing to wander the city I am living in, or travelling to. You never know what experiences you may have and cool places you may spot!
We went on an adventure around the blooming neighbourhood of East Village in Calgary, AB. During our adventure we stumbled upon a Loft style Cafe with cool graffiti and decor, several interesting people, amazing street art and a lot of golden leaves. 

Dressing for fall can be interesting as it is a transitional season with several weather patterns. However, it is a great time of year to merge your summer and winter pieces together. I personally love wearing skirts and dresses all year round. When fall comes around women can start to wear boots, tights or socks with shorter hemlines.  
As the mini skirt length is huge for this fall, try styling it with an over the knee boots or socks instead of tights or bare legs.

This skirt is a great fall piece from one of my favourite New York based lines, A.L.C. It has a classic Chanel feel with the multi tone Boucle fabric. Matte black snap closures up the front enable you to wear it done up all the way, or with a fun little slit. 
I paired the skirt with a simple, black over the knee sock to create a cozy fall look. 

I am loving blue and black together for this f/w. These patent leather wedges have a similar blue and black coloration, nicely tying in the skirt. I paired them with this lightweight heather grey top with black ladder detail on the back. The tailored jacket and cashmere scarf create layering options to finish off the look for day or night.

Taormina Travel Tips

-

Taormina is definitely a highlight of my Sicily trip. My entire experience in this small Island town was serene. Beautiful weather and relaxing. The train runs along the East Coast into the quaint old station surrounded by lush trees and sea shore views. The minute I got off the train I fell in love with the charming town.  Breathtaking panoramas surround you as you drive up the mountain to the town.  Hotels are very old and full of history and elegance... and always have amazing breakfasts (which includes a lot of sweets). Most of the hotels are boutique and family run, which is great for service and a taste of local life. There are some stunning hotels to choose from, each offering a slightly different view and great beaches.  Regardless of where you stay, a room with a view is a must have while in Taormina. There is nothing like waking up to a gorgeous sea & volcano view everyday. It is worth every penny.  Taormina was founded in the 4th century ...

Let’s face it, undergarments are one of the most important parts of an outfit. Cute designs with a great fit are essential, but comfort trumps all. The new Rose + Vine collection from Ardene is cozy, cute and comfortable. I love the soft fabrics mixed in with lace designs to add a little style to your lingerie. I mixed and matched the Lace Push Up Bustier with these Softie Cheekies, perfect for casual lounging and looking fab under just about anything.  The bustier offers great support and the mesh back also works great layered under a semi-sheer knit.  Check out the R+V collection here . I have teamed up with Ardene to give you guys 15% off sitewide with code: elena15

SMILE BRILLIANT REVIEW

-
Image
After spending the past few years in the U.K., I have become a tea addict.  I drink approximately 2 cups of tea per day in the summer months, and 3-5 in the winter. I love all types of tea; Green, London Fog's, Latte's another other black tea based drinks that warm the soul. Over time this has stained my teeth . I have always had fairly white teeth, although, I have some staining closer to my gum line (tough to see in photos) that I wanted to get ride of. I have been on the search for an  at home whitening system to even out the colour and brighten up my smile. As have a very full schedule, I need a product that is easy to use, doesn't make my teeth sensitive and of course has quick, effective results. When Smile Brilliant reached out to me, I knew I had to try out their whitening system.  I have had my teeth professionally whitened years ago for my graduation, and I found it to work well, however, my teeth were sensitive after. The Smile Brilliant ...
