I am in denial that summer is coming to an end. I am holding onto every last ray of sunshine, green leaf and fruity cocktail. As much as I love Fall fashion, it hard not to reminisce  about all the adventures from the past few months that didn't require bundles of clothing and heat pads. In the meantime, I am going to keep wearing my most favoured summer pieces, even if it means layering them. 

One of my currents faves is this Luli Fama two piece Bikini. It is edgy, unique and versatile. The corset style Bikini top has a vintage feel as it sits right at the ribcage with a sexy string tie detailing.  Since this top is a little unconventional from the typical triangle bikini top, it  also works great as a layering piece. You don't have to stop wearing your fave bikini top or one piece at the end of summer. Wearing a bikini top instead of a camisole or bralette adds an edgy look to a sheer top or chunky knit sweater.
My go-to is of course, the classic black, however the "Verano De Rumba" Bikini comes in several vibrant colours.

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 . I have teamed up with Ardene to give you guys 15% off sitewide with code: elena15

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
