Peter Pilotto for Target

Posted on February 27, 2014 by barbara solomon

You have to love when designers make high fashion accessible with collaborations with some of our favourite stores. This past month Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos, the designers behind Peter Pilotto teamed up with Target to release an amazing collection of printed and patterned masterpieces. Social media has blown up with #ootd shots of how people styled this beautiful collection.

I wanted to style this dress by adding my own accessories. So I wore my new cat eye glasses from Clearly Contacts, they were the perfect playful piece to add some personality with this super on-trend dress.
I’ll be working with Clearly Contacts as part of their Style Ambassador program, to show you how to style glasses and make them key parts of your outfits! I’m so honoured to be working with such an awesome brand and can’t wait to show you my favourite #FourEye looks! 😉

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.

Lucky leathers

Posted on October 2, 2013 by barbara solomon

There is nothing more basic and easy for a quick outfit than simple head-to-toe black. It makes getting dressed in the mornings a snap, just be sure to build textures into your outfit. Knits and cords are perfect for fall and add easy textures to your outfit. For me, in FW2013, it’s all about leather. It’s a little punk-90s-badass mixed together, and when you keep the rest of the outfit rather basic and you’ll allow the leather to do the talking.
