EAT THIS:Fiber-rich apples, carrots and celery combine with saliva to exfoliate surface stains and act as natural “detergents” for teeth.” Greens like spinach, lettuce and broccoli create a clear film on teeth that acts as a barrier against darkening.
SKIP THIS: Try to avoid food and drinks that stain teeth like red wine, dark sodas, black coffee to prolong your bleaching treatment. As a rule of thumb, foods and drinks that will stain a white t-shirt will do the same to teeth.
WEAR THIS:Berry colored lipsticks with blue undertones and bronzers that look more brown than gold make smiles appear whiter. Avoid orange and gold clothing; they can bring out yellowish tones in teeth.
TRY THIS:If you’re on the go and you’ve only got 1 minute, swish water around in your mouth after drinking coffee or soda, even this will help ward off stains until your next brushing.

Jonathan Saunders has now had a chance to get his feet under the table at Pollini. Last season, he said he'd only had a couple of weeks to prepare his debut show, and this season proved that he's working out what the identity of a house that has its origins in traditional Italian footwear might be. He took a couple of Pollini heritage products—its riding boots and a baroque-print silk scarf—as a starting point for a small collection that brought some of the energy of London design to the Milan runway. Equestrian-themed jackets caught the big-shouldered silhouette of the moment, paired with surreal-heeled suede and leather riding-boot derivatives. Best were Saunders' cute interpretations of the scarf motif—curlicued scrolls used on little silk print dresses or cut out and appliquéd on cashmere shifts—evidence of his talent as a textile designer. The clean looks with the vibrant colors were really refreshing these seasons especially after so much darkness... Fall 2009 Ready-to-Wear
