Statement Sleeves

This season is all about the sleeve. Making a statement with big volume and layers create a bold, chic look for any occasion. The trick is to balance this exaggerated proportion by wearing fitted, simple bottoms whether it is pants, leggings or a skirt. 
I paired this fantastic Shein Gingham blouse with my classic fitted bandage skirt and strappy sandals for a sunny day in Paris Vegas. This top is also great for holiday parties or a casual-chic day running errands.  I also love the unique slit neckline detail (tough to photograph, but is noticeable with movement).
The biggest thing for me when purchasing new pieces, is how comfortable I feel wearing them.  I was pleasantly surprised with the material being a brushed cotton, it is cozy and moves well. After looking at several exaggerated sleeves, I gravitated towards this silhouette due to the volume starting at a 3/4 length. When the entire sleeve has volume, it can look overwhelming/overdone on many body types. 
Bold silhouette + black and white screams Parisian street style. 
P.S - The top is now on sale in black or blue! Check it out here.

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

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

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 .
