I scored this Red Chanel Classic 2.55 Flap Bag from Fashionably Yours. I’ve always been a fan of red handbags in general, but there’s something extra special about the red & gold hardware combo. It’s a beauty and will surely be a part of my Chanel collection for years to come.

I spent my 2012 New Year’s Eve at Diddy’s ‘Ciroc The New Year‘ Private Party inside his exquisite Miami Mansion. I knew my 2012 New Year’s Eve celebration was going to be a memorable one, just as soon I laid eyes on this beautiful Swarovski encrusted sequin cutout blush pink silk dress by Mandalay. This dress was yet another one of my amazing scores from Fashionably Yours and although I often pick outfits around my shoes, this year I flew to Miami in hopes to find the perfect shoes to go with this Cinderella worthy dress. I lucked out at Bal Harbour Shops with these oh-so-amazing Giuseppe Zanotti Swarovski ‘No Heel’ Platform Shoes. The dress and the shoes were two very good reasons to debut my Chanel ‘Tifanny Blue’ 2.55 Flap Bag...and oh, what a memorable night it was.

OUTFIT: Mandalay blush pink cutout sequin dress (Fashionably Yours), Chanel ‘Tiffany Blue’ 2.55 Flap Bag, Chanel Necklace & Earrings, Hermes pink H clic clak bracelet, Giuseppe Zanotti Swarovski Crystal No Heel Platform Peep Toe Shoes

I took a trip to Miami to spend New Years and spend time with loved ones. Wishing you and yours a prosperous 2012 filled with love, happiness & success. Stay tuned for updates on my #CIROCTHENEWYEAR night at Diddy’s Miami estate.

I just scored this stunning Chanel Tiffany Blue ‘Limited Edition’ 2.55 Flap bag (photo taken with my iphone). Clearly, I just can’t get enough of colored Chanel Flap Bags, but this one is super rare and oh so special. It’s exactly the color of the classic Tiffany blue. Ridiculous, right? Perhaps I’ll wear it during the Christmas Holidays. For now, it’s sitting pretty in a glass case, along with the rest of my colored Chanel arm candy. I think this one’s a keeper. xo

I was recently asked to give my expertise on “How to Buy the IT Bag” featured in The Toronto Star’s “The Kit Magazine”. The photos of me and my little puppy Chloe were shot on location at Fashionably Yours, my Toronto Designer Consignment Boutique. They asked me to show them some of my favourite iconic ‘It’ bags in my bag collection, including the Celine Mini Luggage Tote, Hermes Orange Birkin 35, Hermes Red Kelly Bag, and a few of my rare Chanel Flap bags. Shout out to Glynnis Map from The Kit for the interview. Check out the feature below…xo

I took another quick trip to St.Maarten to celebrate my dear friend Ania’s birthday, but this time with my girl WInny & a crew of girls from Toronto, Miami & New York. I love traveling but I’m a horrible packer, so I’m always trying to find efficient ways to pack and in the process have managed to collect a ton of various travel accessories to help keep me organized. My favourite is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Pegase 55 Business Rolling Luggage. It’s the perfect carry-on size, fits everything I need in case my suitcase gets lost, has an outside pocket to fit my computer (and wires) and rolls effortlessly. I brought this with me to SXM along with my super convenient little Louis Vuitton Eva cross-body clutch & vintage Chanel black quilted duffel bag…all timeless, durable & stylish. Be sure to check out Fashionably Yours.com for a great selection of authentic Louis Vuitton luggage, discounted from 30% – 70% off retail prices. Stay tuned for my SXM Photo Diary…xo

Yes, it’s true. I bought another Birkin. Say hello to the latest addition to my Hermes family…the Hermes Black Epsom Birkin 30. Epsom leather is known for its durability and structure and the 30cm is the perfect size to take me from day to night. I absolutely love my Hermes Orange Togo Birkin 35 but I find that it is a bit too big at times to carry at night or to events. This classic black Birkin 30 goes well with just about everything in my wardrobe and will likely be a staple in my bag collection for years to come.
