I'm in love with Fall. Fall is a beautiful time of year, with changing leaves and stunning sunsets. There is a glow around the world that only happens for a short time as the weather changes. It is a transition from fun summer memories to holiday cheer. However, the best thing about fall is the layering of clothes, boots, and cold weather accessories that come with it. 

Fur vests are my fav staple for F/W, they are timeless and versatile. Fur vests can be styled several ways, fur (real or faux) adds texture to any look.  Layer waist length vests over a dress or high waisted skirt for a day to dinner look. A longer vest works well with pants or leggings or over/under a jacket for a more casual look.  Real fur adds a lot of warmth, which is necessary in colder climates. As fur is a natural material, it will look great after several years even through rain and snow.  Faux fur is more for the look, as it does not add much warmth. Once faux fur gets wet, it will not go back to how it originally looked. This chic Adrienne Landau vest is a perfect layering piece for F/W layering. I also love the convenient slit pockets and the hidden clasps that create a streamline look. Check out more fur vests at www.adriennelandau.com.

Stylish gloves are the perfect way to finish off any look this F/W. A great pair of gloves add detail and warmth. These leather motorcycle gloves from BCBG are surprisingly warm and  super chic. They work with different styles of clothing, while adding an edge. The soft leather and stitching look great after MANY years of wearing,  including torrential rain storms and several travels.  The matte leather gloves, textured pile of the vest and sheer top create a mix of texture. 

Complete your F/W looks with a fur vest and leather gloves.

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 .

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 ...
