Any look consisting of leather, a killer pair of heels and some texture is a go to outfit of mine. This rocker chic look is what I am most comfortable in and can easily throw together for a casual work or weekend look. With a few staple pieces you can achieve this style. These edgy basics can simply be integrated into your entire wardrobe. Here are my tips for achieving a rocker chic look from head to toe:  

The Leather moto jacket/vest or denim vest - A great fitting leather jacket and an oversized vest is a wardrobe staple for anyone who loves this look. Both versions can be layered over just about anything to create a rocker feel. If there is one piece you should really invest in, it's a killer black leather jacket. 

Distressed Denim - Of course black distressed jeans are a staple, but switching them up for light grey or white pants are so perfect for S/S and are just as versatile. The distressed detail on these and cuffed hem say summer casual, but can definitely be dressed up as well. 

Layering is Key - Layer at least one top under the vest or leather jacket. A sheer top looks great with the heaviness of leather. I also suggest layering a more feminine texture like this laser cut crepe or lace. 

The Pointed Stiletto - An pointed toe stiletto automatically adds a chic element to any style. 
Choose a pair in black or metallic that has a comfortable last for your arch because you will want to wear them with every outfit! Hardware on the shoe like the zipper detail on these gorg Givenchy heels to add edgy details to the look. 

Cool Accessories - Any hard materials like leather or metal add to the rocker vibe. Stacking rings are a great way to add subtle metal details to your hands. Instead of getting too crazy with actual accessories with this look, this henna adds tattoo feel with an ethnic twist. 

Hair Texture - A centre (ish) parted beachy/bed head wave looks cool with this style. Use the barrel iron or wand and twist it around the barrel with your other hand. Hold it for a few seconds and release for a casual, wavy texture. 

Smokey Make-Up - A smokey eyes with a cat eye liner and nude or bold red lip finish it all off. Don't forget black nail polish ;).

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 BC and has become a

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

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  system includes a d
