I have wanted to shoot at The Bow in Calgary, Alberta ever since its inception in 2012. The 58 story skyscraper is the tallest Canadian building outside of Toronto. The preliminary  blueprint was to make it even taller, however, after the initial environmental survey was completed, it was discovered that the original height of the building would cast a large shadow over the Bow River, thus negatively effecting the local ecosystem. The building has a unique look with the triangular and rounded shapes that comprise the the exterior. The interior is also very cool with sky gardens and stairwells on the outer glass walls. Each level is marked with a corresponding international landmark displaying the comparable height. 

Canadian Designer, Amy of Bellafusion, and I met up for a showing of her latest collections which include stunning colourful gemstones in unique settings. I was immediately inspired by this Black Oynx, Sodalite and Pyrite bracelet to shoot at The Bow. The Sodalite beads reminded me of the sky in a photo I took of the building back in 2013. The metallic shimmer of the Pyrite correlates well with the reflecting glass, and the Black Oynx represents the strength of the building which is made up of triangles. 




The steel beams and glass panels, form triangles, which adds an industrial look to the downtown core.  Another unique element of the building is a 12 metre tall head composed of wire, which sits at the front of the building. The bent wire art installation, titled Wonderland, is by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. 

The industrial collection bracelet was designed with a mix of gemstones representing strength, determination and creating an interesting design. Combined, these three stones (Black Oynx, Sodalite and Pyrite) achieved that balance. Bellafusion is a Calgary based jewellery brand that sources beautiful, high quality gemstones. Amy's focus is to create unique handmade pieces with positive vibes for everyone. Check out more Bellafusion jewellery at www.bellafusion.ca  and enter promo code STYLECONCEPT for 10% off your purchase!

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

-
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  system includes a d
