Fail-safe Favourites

Posted on February 7, 2014 by barbara solomon

You have favourite things for a reason. Music, food, entertainment or even lipstick colours, whether it be because they may taste good or they look pretty, we all have our own set of preferences that change and grow with us. Our wardrobe is like that too. We pick our fav T-shirts, jeans and shoes usually because they fit the best or are the most comfortable.

Something that I recommend for everyone to figure out is their own favourite trend. Something that can help define your wardrobe. It could be, black and white, florals or nautical, for example. Look for something that is a classic, yet an always updating trend, so you can always have something that looks current, while being able to add a new piece to spice up the look. This will help ease some pressure to find new trends each season.

Kids Help Phone x Billy Talent

Posted on December 12, 2013 by barbara solomon

During the holiday season, there is really no better feeling than that of giving. A gift is something that is both special for everyone, and to see the joy that your kindness brings to others is truly breathtaking.

This season give a gift that means a little more. Billy Talent and Bluenotes have teamed up and designed a limited edition graphic tee, with all proceeds going to Kids Help Phone. The tee is only $10 and makes the perfect stocking stuffer.

Over the past 16 years Bluenotes has already raised over $1.6 million dollars for Kids Help Phone! So buy a tee, give a gift and help a kid! Available both in-store and online.

Bold Moves

Posted on August 29, 2013 by barbara solomon

As we approach the last long weekend of the summer, it’s probably the hardest trend transition of the year, as we tend to hold on to summer as long as we possibly can. This season there are some easy trends that we can carry over from summer, like the strong black and white outfit and really bold graphic prints. Here is what I said when Fashion Magazine discussed this with their style panel.
