Pick up the November issue of Vida, free with MaltaToday on Sunday

Kids have settled back into their school routine, the clocks have gone back... all signs that summer is over, yet weekends come and still bring out bikinis and head down to the beach - summer is still lingering, not that I'm complaining. Though I do not plan on putting my bikinis away for the moment there is still some room in my wardrobe for the autumn and winter collection. Check out some great designs in both casual and dressy in fashion's first love - black.

While the sunshine still lingers spend a day at Golden Sands, and the evening at the hotel, with a fabulous dining experience at Essence, the perfect night's rest in a sea view room and start your day in the very best possible way with champagne breakfast before a day on the beach. There are very few left of them so enjoy them while you still can.

As the temperature drops a little, and beach activities take up less of our time there is more time for different styles of entertainment. Check out Gaela Brown's first concert in Malta for a night to remember.

Getting fit shouldn't be something you only do in the summer time. Check out Richard Geres' tips to keep yourself fit and stop succumbing to the usual culprits that cause you to fail.
