Eyewear by Beausoleil

Available at Spectacle

These frames are made up of 20% actual real wood. This season we are starting to see different materials being used in the production of eyewear weather it be woods, leathers or precious metals. The beauty in this particular collection is that they are made in the same way as the rest of the Beausoleil collection, which employs an ancient French watch making technique to manufacture frames.

Staff Picks for February

February 27, 2010

Michael with Penguin sneakers, $145.

Michael chose the new Penguin sneakers for his favourite piece this month. The sneakers, that have a deck shoe style to it, use sophisticated fabrics (both suede and leather) to give it a low profile look with a bit of edge to it. The colours add a subtle pop to your dark denims and your light colour shorts. It’s a great all-around sneaker for spring.

Neale with a V.Frass scarf, $35

Neale is wearing a new scarf from V.Frass. Made with light weight cotton, its a spring and summer accessory for both daytime and night. It’s the perfect accessorizing piece to finish your look.

Veronica with a Gregory Allen shirt, $265

Veronica went with the Gregory Allen shirt, another piece new for spring. What makes this special for this season is the light weight material, the seer sucker detail, and the pattern-on-pattern design (which is making its re-debut this season). The shirt is also a great transition piece (can be worn from day to night) on your casual days. The snap buttons are an added bonus, and can be worn overtop a t-shirt – left open or closed.

Joa with a Tombolini suit ($895), Gotstyle private label shirt ($165), Dagr tie ($115)

It’s the time for tan coloured suits, so Joa picked out a Tombolini suit with a Gotstyle private label shirt and Dagr tie. Change things up this season from the charcoal and blacks for something a little more colour and personality.

Spring is all about color, so don’t be afraid to punch up your navy and grey suits! The key is to wear bold colors in the classic, preppy striped tie!

And since you’re going to be wearing ties without a suit this Spring…
