Some of my favourite fashion moments and memories from 2017:
My Focus on Mental Health
2016 was a difficult year for me personally, so when this past year rolled around, I made it a goal to focus on mental health and wellness, ensuring I spent time outside, reflecting and finding mindfulness while living in the moment.
Our New Home
After a long delay, we finally moved into our first home back in late February and were able to share our first two room reveals. Up next, once it’s finished, will be the nursery which we have been putting together for a few weeks now.
Styling The Bump
Trevor and I planned to start a family in early 2018 and were fortunate to get pregnant right away. Since then, my pregnancy has not been so easy as I’ve struggled with morning sickness, carpal tunnel and lots of hip and joint pain. We are now reaching the end (37 weeks currently) and could not be more excited to welcome our baby into our family.
2018 will be an exciting year filled with more changes than ever before, and cannot wait to share all of details with you. I also wanted to shout out to some of the amazing brands I partnered with this year; Delta Faucet Canada, Clearly, Tobi, Carry Maternity, Pink Blush, Daniel Wellington, Coach, One of a Kind Show, and Westowne Mazda. If you are interested in working together in 2018 please contact me (barbara.ann.solomon@gmail.com) or Lindsay @ Shine Influencers (lindsay@shineinfluencers.com).
Can’t wait to meet you in 2018.
]]>I’ve been wearing glasses since I was a kid, never really appreciating how beautiful they can be and interest they can bring to your outfit, and as you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been full-on 4-eyes for the last few months.
My only issue with my glasses was driving in the sun I found myself often blinded during the afternoon commute by that beautiful setting sun. Enter Holly Eyewear, an eyewear boutique in Yorkville, that I had first found on Instagram. Holly, the shop owner, explained to me the importance of quality eye care and how a pair of prescription sunglasses would protect my eyes from the damages of the sun. Finding the perfect glasses was simple, as she carries such a stunning curated selection of designer and unique brands, and I immediately fell for these rose gold cat eye frames from Sunday Somewhere.
Thank you so much Holly for all the help and this amazing pair of prescription sunglasses, as promised my life is changed!

]]>I sometimes find winters in Canada really hard to get through. The short days, darkness, grey skies, salt stains, insane driving, and of course the cold, are just a few of the reasons why people struggle around this time of year. Mental health is so important to be discuss, and to know that you are never alone. There are so many Canadians who suffer from SAD (Seasonal affective disorder) which is a form of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter. Getting outside, doing things that make you happy, and even just wearing bright colours and bold prints can not only make you feel better, but also those around you. So wishing everyone a bright and wonderful last few days of January!
