The Haul: Vintage Curator Randa Salloum’s Favourite Eyewear, Ice Cream and Go-To Lip Colour

Randa Salloum makes her living from having great taste. Her vintage and consignment boutique, Collective Will, sadly closed recently, but it was always a treasure trove of curated finds, responsibly made pieces and thoughtfully tailored house-brand jackets. Here are the goods Salloum adds to her own home when she’s not busy helping Vancouver’s most fashionable people find their new favourite look.

Randa Salloum’s Favourite Things

1. La Glace Ice Cream

This is the best ice cream in Vancouver, hands down. No matter what flavour you choose, it’s going to be a hit. My husband and I look forward to their seasonal releases and it’s a highlight of our long walks together. $18 for a pint, laglace.ca

2. Sundays Movie Night Couch

There is no place I love more than the couch. We purchased it a couple of years ago and have never looked back. I put high value on my rest and reality TV, so this was a no brainer. I dare you to not fall asleep after 10 minutes. From $3,440, sundays-company.ca

3. Dark Tortoise Kuboraum Mask G2 Glasses

This was my very first pair of adult frames and I receive loads of compliments every time I wear them. They’re a bold take on rectangular frames and make every outfit pop. $699, theopticalboutique.com

4. Roam Candles

This is the only candle I will choose without smell testing. Each scent is fresh and works in every room of the home. Not only do they make excellent gifts, they also have a refill program. Plus, they’re made in Vancouver. $26, roamthebrand.com

5. MAC Lustreglass Sheer-Shine Lipstick in 540 Thanks, It’s MAC

This shade is that final touch before I’m out the door. It gives me an effortless no-makeup look with a little oomph. $33, maccosmetics.ca

6. Sterling Silver Vimeria Petal Huggies Earrings

These made-in-Vancouver silver earrings have served me so well for everyday wear. I’ve worn them to every type of occasion I can think of, and as someone who is low maintenance with my personal style, it’s a plus that I can sleep and shower in them. $130, vimeria.co

7. White Maison Margiela Tabi Ballerina Flats

These are an investment piece! I was pleasantly surprised with how much wear I’ve gotten out of them and how comfortable they are. They look brand new after three years of wear and go with unlimited outfits. $837, holtrenfrew.com

9. Fable Flute Glasses

We received a set of four as a gift when we got engaged and have since added 16 more to our collection. We love hosting parties and cheersing with our friends—it helps  that they’re shatter-resistant. $125 for four, fable.com

8. Collective Will  Re-Worked Cropped Blazer

This is part of our upcycled collection and is a hero piece in my wardrobe. I feel sharp, stylish and sustainable in it and get so much pleasure when I see others wearing theirs. $125, shopcollectivewill.com
