Make a Statement

I am a sucker for statement pieces; rings, shoes, necklaces etc. I have been on the lookout  for a piece that makes a sparkly statement without being too gaudy, as I usually go for subtle finishes and neutral stone pieces. When I found this necklace by Mirina Collections, I fell in love. It reminded me of armour... glamorous body armour. 

Mirina Collections jewelry is hand made from start to finish in Manhattan, New York, USA. Each design is made to order, so it may take a few weeks to receive, but it is worth the wait! I am all about appreciating local craftsmanship, for higher quality and uniqueness, as no two pieces are exactly the same. 

I am wearing the "Max" collar, it is perfect for smaller frames, as its size and stone proportions are not overwhelming. It has several length options, so it works great with a variety of necklines. I paired it with a fun fur vest to mix textures, the sparkle against the high pile vest creates a cozy look that can be worn from day to dinner. 
The weight of the necklace is not too heavy, yet not super light, like mass produced fashion jewelry. It sits comfortably, and shine beautifully.

It is important to hang statement pieces in the right area of the décolletage, depending on if the neckline of clothing is high, low or wide. Play around with the length, so it is complimentary, not competing with the neckline. 
Minimize other jewelry including earrings, as the focus should be on the necklace. 

Check out Mirina Collections to find the perfect statement piece, and use code "style20" at checkout for 20% off your order. P.S - The necklace I am wearing is now on sale! (Link in details)

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 ...
