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!

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what our plans were, and of course what we were wearing, for ringing in the New Year. Here is what I said.

Unconventional Colour

Posted on August 23, 2015August 23, 2015 by barbara solomon

We are taught at a young age, that when dressing ourselves there are certain colours that go nicely together, and other that should NEVER be paired for an outfit. Today I’m breaking those silly rules, as I’m wearing the perfect cropped black tank and an amazing pair of navy linen pants. This bruise inspired colour-way, is the number one combination I’ve been told to stay away from with the rhyme, “black and blue should never been seen, unless they’re in the washing machine” always playing in my head. Ensuring that the black is a rich dark black and that the navy has blue and purple qualities will help make sure this tricky coupling will work.

This is a very old way of looking at colour and fashion. I dare you to break some rules, if not daily at least on the weekend, when your fashion choices can be a bit more liberal.
