I`ll be the first to admit that I don`t need another bag. Like any good girly-girl, I`ve got too many bags and too many pairs of shoes. My mother tells me that my obsession with shoes began at a very young age so it was only natural that when I got my first job as a teenager, it was at a shoe store at the mall up the street from our house. But the obsession, I think, isn`t so much about quantity as it is about quality. And by quality, I don`t mean outrageously expensive, hand-crafted, imported Italian leather. I`m talking more about utility. For years, my favourite boots were a pair of synthetic platforms that cost about $40. But they were so versatile, they were the perfect pair. And so it is with my new favourite bag. The SUMO women’s laptop purse is so stylish and utilitarian, it was love at first sight. And then, as I began to use it, I really fell hard. It`s sleek, which I love; it doesn`t look like a laptop bag at all. And inside, there`s a cozy, corduroy-lined pouch for my computer. It fits sveltely inside, with plenty of room to spare for all the other odds and ends I lug around town. This bag is big on the details (did I mention the corduroy-lined pouch that I love?) — it`s got a printed interior and the fuchsia stitching on the exterior is the perfect finishing touch. The bag itself is nylon but the straps are a soft, pliable leather. Exterior pockets provide easy access to your phone or iPod. It`s stylish for toting about town and super-functional for traveling with.

I met Jeanne Beker this morning at an event in Toronto’s Distillery District, fresh off the plane from a Paris showing of Vivienne Westwood’s latest. JEANNE BEKER! (To say I’m excited is an understatement.) This woman is indeed an icon of style, and I’ve got to say I was a little bit starstruck. But what does one discuss with the face of 
Outside, the leaves may just be starting to turn, but here at the STYLE AT HOME offices, it’s already a full-blown winter wonderland as we prepare for our December spectacular. Which, of course, has me thinking about what I want for the holidays, and at the top of my wish list is this gorgeous narrow wool tie. If every girl has to have an Hermes scarf, then the same must be said of Hermes ties for guys… With kilt-edge fringing at both ends and the in-your-face tartan design, this is a necktie for a guy who is easily bored with neckties (namely, me). Covet!
Let’s face it – when a paint company unveils an updated colour system, the names are just as important as the drool-worthy new hues. I love the feminine flair that
