My favourite way to change my look is through my growing collection of glasses. Clearly.ca, formally known as Clearlycontacts.ca, has become my go-to each season, for that one perfect accessory to update any outfit.

These are my newest frames, apart of their house-brand, Derek Cardigan‘s, 1960’s inspired collection named The Wonder Years.  I love the bold use of colour to help highlight the shape of the frames. I fell in love with the dipped-white colour, and the frames with the slightest hint of a cat-eye.

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel this week about styling more than one statement piece. Here is what I said, including my tip on keeping the look feel balanced by ensuring no more than one item in your clothing, accessories and one beauty feature to highlight.

When Fashion Magazine asked me to style this season’s super hot trend of metallics, I was somewhat lost at first. I looked back to some of my favourite times I’ve worked with this trend before like last December when I wore my boldest metallic look which was a great mini dress from the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection.

I find that this trend, is much easier to introduce into your wardrobe as flavour, rather than being the featured item. Like when Topshop Canada brought out the bling with this chain collar around the holidays last year, or this insane cuff from ASOS. Metallic shoes have always been a big thing (booties) (heels), and this summer there are so many choices available, and luckily now likely on sale!

Here is what I said to the style panel.

While spring shopping, a piece I want everyone to pick up is a printed playsuit of some sort. I’ve been loving them since I wore a bright orange one last season. I find them beyond comfortable, if you can get over the whole getting nearly naked to pee, they are amazing!

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was 7, but I wasn’t always happy about it. I grew up with a love/hate relationship, but have since embraced this nerdy-chic accessory and with help from Clearly Contacts and Coastal. I really love how you can style your glasses to be a key part of your outfit and add so much character to a simple outfit.
