A  contemporary landscaped park sits among the belt line in Calgary, AB.  Barb Scott Park is the home of Chinook Arc, a public art installation by Arizona based designers Joe O'Connell and Blessing Hancock. The park opened in 2014 in honour of late alderman, Barb Scott.
The interactive Chinook Arc sculpture is made from Acrylic and Steel, with colour changing LED lighting and touch sensors. Park visitors have the ability to change the light sequences by moving their arms or playing videos on their phone.
The artists were inspired by the Chinook arch occurrence and the Beltline Streetcar loop that is historic to the area. Chinook Arch is a beautiful phenomenon that occurs around Calgary, bringing warmer temperatures and colourful skies.

While location scouting this past summer, I came across this park and intriguing sculpture. I was immediately drawn to the contemporary, infinite shape and colourful LED design. I wanted to shoot with a complementary outfit - a cool, contemporary look. We shot in the evening to really capture the vibrance of the lighting. The colourful sculpture against surrounding buildings creates a beautiful contrast in the middle of the city. 

Being a Stylist can be tempting when you are constantly around beautiful furniture and clothing. I initially pulled this playful jumpsuit for a photo shoot, then decided to purchase it for myself! Even though it has a lot of pattern, the neutral colour palette works great with many pieces. The chiffon snakeskin print works great with solid black, grey or cream jacket and shoes. This piece would also look great with a pop of colour. The exposed zipper down the front ties in nicely with silver accessories, and allows the jumpsuit to be styled several ways. The Miranda Jumpsuit is now on sale at www.walterbaker.com.

As many jumpsuits are often sleeveless and made with a chiffon or jersey fabric (they drape nicely), they can be cool to wear in the fall. Try layering with a wool scarf and a blazer for a warmer, chic fall look. Since the silhouette of a jumpsuit can be a big impact on its own, pair it with minimalist accessories for a more sophisticated look. A simple stiletto or dressy flat will take a jumpsuit from day to dinner.

Next time you are in the downtown Calgary area, check out this contemporary gem located on the corner of 12th Ave and 9th St SW. The park is open daily from 5 am to 11 pm.

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 ...
