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

Faulhaber PR celebrated their 10 Year Anniversary on Wed, Nov 9/11, held at Neubacher Shor Contemporary Gallery which featured the unveiling of Project F, a series of images created by photographer Christopher Wadsworth and illustrator Matt Forsyte. Faulhaber is a boutique Public Relations agency specializing in Lifestyle Clientele.

My buddy Minna Rhee & I were both invited so we decided to make it a fun date night, along with my two Fashionably Yours’ staff JayStrut & Richard. It was a fun little soiree with tasty snacks, papparazzi & lots of familiar fashion regulars. I’m behind on my blogging again but I’ve been working super duper extra hard (before and after a recent vacation to the Carribean). I’m in the process of revamping this site, but in the meantime, I’ll do my best to catch up. xo

I wore this outfit to the Playboy themed Gotstyle Club Party the other night. Gotstyle is Canada’s best menswear store owned by my dear friend Melissa Austridge. It’s the only fashion party in the city where the women are out numbered by the men and not just any men…I’m talking well dressed, dapper, handsome gentlemen (a novelty these days, no?). I’m always down to support any Gotsyle event, but this was one of my favorites to date. There was a fashion show, a champagne bag, gin bar, roulette tables, bunny ears, a band that played amazing music & flashing lights. Kudos to Charlotte Jenkins, the Gotstyle event coordinator for curating this fun soiree (who just so happens to be my assistant from my first ever music video…eons ago). I pulled out my red  blazer, pearls and sequin shorts for the occasion, all very necessary objects in my wardrobe and just perfect for this Playboy themed party.

OUTFIT: Red vintage blazer (Fashionably Yours), Lumiere Blouse (Leigh & Harlow), H&M sequin shorts, Calvin Klein tights, Chanel pearls, Gucci watch, Hermes Clic Clac & Double Tour bracelets, Christian Louboutin Lady Daf Shoes, Chanel Caviar Flap

LG Fashion Week Day 5 Finale was a crazy zoo, filled with fashion thirsty men & women itching to catch a final glimpse of Canadian fashion. I mainly attended to support my talented friend & NYC designer Lauren Bagliore,  then stayed for the finale closing show of the always entertaining designer Denis Gagnon. Lauren’s show was super edgy as expected, with a lot of cool draping and asymmetrical lines and all the models were wearing my favourite Camilla Skovgaard saw booties. I had a blast catching up with old & new friends and bumping into many of my most fashionable FY consignors. I debuted my Christian Louboutin Leopard Daf Booty Boots along with my orange Birkin & my new favourite Bleulab reversible jeans. Until next season…adios, my fashionable amigos.

OUTFIT: Bleulab Reversible Jeans (military green side), Lumiere blouse (Leigh & Harlow), Topshop trench coat, Hermes Orange Birkin, Hermes Constance belt, Hermes Collier de Chein, Hermes Clic Clak, Chanel watch, earring, necklace & rings, Christian Louboutin Leopard Daf Booty Boots

I enjoyed the Denis Gagnon show with Canadian starlet and FY consignor, Ivana Santilli & my old buddy Dru (R&B singer), previously of R&B group In Essence.

A lovely chat with a super calm Denis Gagnon before the show.

Global TV News visited Fashionably Yours to chat with me about all the wonderful authentic luxury designer bags available for sale in my store and some of my favorite FY finds. The segment was inspired by the launch of Tiffany & Co‘s newest handbag collection and the popularity and obsession with the ‘It’ handbag. Lifestyle reporter Minna Rhee interviewed Flare Magazine‘s Fashion Director Liz Cabral at Holt Renfrew, discussed $4000 Celine bags, then wanted to show viewers that they can get luxury for less at Fashionably Yours, where we offer hundreds of authentic designer bags, discounted from 30% – 80% off retail prices. Check out some behind-the-scenes clips from the shoot. A big huge shout out to Minna Rhee, Sandy (the camera man) and Global TV News for taking the time to feature my store. xoxo

It’s that time again. LG Fashion Week in Toronto gives me an opportunity to mingle with probably the only crowd in the city that cares so much about what everyone else is wearing. It’s fun to spot all the Louis Vuitton & Chanel bags that my customers’ purchased at Fashionably Yours. I finally wore the leopard blazer I scored at Jac Flash (and I bumped into Jac while I was wearing it). I caved and bought another pair of Lady Daf Platform shoes. Random thoughts. I’m kicking it with my home girl Fefe this week. Stay tuned for updates on our adventurous week of LG Fashion Week.

OUTFIT: Leopard Blazer (Jac Flash), Talula tank, Top shop tights, Armani leather shorts, Christian Louboutin Black Lady Daf Platform Pumps, Hermes red Kelly bag, Hermes yellow Clic Clak bracelet, Hermes Constance belt, Chanel watch, ring, earrings & vintage necklace.

My obsession with Lady Daf’s will never die.
