“I’ve had this jacket for over 3 years. The leather has broken in beautifully, and I wear it with all sorts of outfits. It’s a great investment piece. The gold studs have gone from trend to style staple. When it comes to my style, it’s always leather weather.”
UNDFTD “Play Dirty” New Era Beanie“I picked up this toque (what we Canadian’s call a beanie) in February from the UNFTD store on West Sunset in Los Angeles. It was chilly out. The UNDFTD toques are made by New Era and are great quality. For only $28, I had to cop one of my own. I don’t think Canadian customs was impressed by the “Play Dirty” embroidery.”

“The earrings are a $5 vintage find from a vintage shop in Toronto that has taxidermy animals alongside rows of pearls. They have a lion’s head and I’m a Leo so I had to get them. The necklace is by Kris Nations. I grabbed it while at Kitson in LA. New York City is my ‘real home,’ and I’m working on moving there full-time so the necklace serves as a nice reminder to keep working towards my goal. I wish I had gotten the Texas one, too. It’s my other favorite state. The Forever 21 gold necklace is a layering piece. I tend to have emotional connections to my items, which means my closets are always overflowing.”
Various Vintage rings“I have a ring fetish and feel naked without something gold on my fingers. I lose jewelry ALL the time, so while I’d love to invest in some pieces (Margiela everything please), it’s just not worth it for me. I buy cheap rings from big stores, and hunt at thrift shops for neat pieces I can mix and match to whatever I’m wearing. If you can’t tell, I have an addiction to gold.”
Nike Fuel Band“I run my business from home most days. So, I spend far too much time working at my computer. What I love about the FuelBand is that it acts as a reminder to get out and be active. I walk or bike everywhere in Toronto, and it’s so neat to monitor my activity when I’m out shopping for clients or dancing at the gym. I walked 25km on one day during the Vegas trade shows! I also think the fuel band is fashionable and since it does duel function as a watch, I wear it almost all the time.”
Louis Vuitton “Zippy” Travel Wallet“I always have a ton of receipts from buying items for clients and writing things off for my business. It’s essential that I stay organized at all times. I bought this before NBA All-Star in Orlando last year. It was my first All-Star as an NBA stylist, and I needed a grown up wallet. I use it every day. The full zipper keeps me from losing essential documents and cards. It also doubles as a clutch since my iPhone 4 fits in it perfectly. I always have my Canadian passport on me just in case. Hopefully I’ll be adding a Nexus card and a US work visa or Green Card in my wallet soon!”
NEAT Card Case with business cards designed by dsicle (Duane Smith)“Call me old fashioned, but I think business cards are essential for both branding and communication. Duane Smith, better known as dsicle (on Twitter), a fellow sneaker aficionado and one of my big brothers from another mother, offered to design both my cards and logo. I couldn’t be happier with what he came up with. He even hand drew the crocodile a print.”
Metal studded iPhone 4 case by Felony“My name is Megan, and I’m addicted to my iPhone. It’s like an appendage. I haven’t upgraded to the 5 because I technically don’t need it, and this case only fits the 4. It’s a rubber case with metal studs screwed in, so if it falls, it never lands on the screen. It’s durable, fashionable, a great conversation starter, and a pretty effective weapon if s*** ever goes down.”
Vintage red crocodile-embossed bag“I’m a shoe girl rather than a purse girl, but when I saw this bag made of calfskin with croc print, I knew it was for me. The combination of cherry red and exotic skin is just perfection, and since it’s vintage, I got it for a steal. It fits my wallet, iPad, iPhone and a few other goodies. It’s perfect for running around the city or a dinner out.”
