The best thing about living in England is exploring the neighbourhoods that are full of charming buildings. The residential areas are filled with row houses made of old brick and  colourful accents which display the character and detail of this old English city. 

Fall and Winter are the perfect seasons for mixing in a bold colour with black or white looks.  Oxblood has always been one of my top colours for F/W. The rich colour creates a powerful look when worn from head to toe, or an accent which I styled for this look.

One of my top accessories for fall/winter/spring is a great beanie. This beanie/toque caught my eye with the fun oversized pompom. The icy temperatures in Canada and cold winds and rain in England make knitted hats an essential in these months. Beanies are also a travel essential for me as they are great to throw on for low maintenance styling. 

Colourful jewellery is also a fun way to use an accent colour.  The classic chrome hardware and lambskin Balenciaga bracelet creates an interesting statement piece from day to dinner. This bracelet style and colour is a unique change from the neutral colours. 

These oxblood tights are an amazing find for winter, as they are fleece lined! Previously, I had only found black, until I came across a great assortment of coloured tights at Primark. If you are in England, pick some up for warm, colourful additions for your Winter wardrobe.

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 ...
