I Found The Perfect Bag For This Holiday Season
We just planned our first family vacation in over two years, and I couldn't be more excited. Sometimes a ski holiday is just what one needs to break up the long winter months.
Since the holidays are just around the corner, I thought it was the perfect time to treat myself to a new weekender bag.
I opted for the MICHAEL Michael Kors Bedford Travel Extra-Large Weekender Bag in the neutral brown/acorn colorway as it goes well with my existing wardrobe and will also look fabulous with an all-black outfit.
The MMK Bedford Weekender is great for weekend getaways like the short overnight trips to visit my in-laws. They're about three hours up north and since we visit often, I know that I'll get plenty of use from it.
If you're also planning on upgrading your travel bag, or any bag for that matter, then make sure to check out Michael Kors's latest collection. From the classic structured Karlie bag, to the statement-making Hamilton bag, there's something for everyone this holiday season.

I Found The Frankie Shop Quilted Jacket Dupe
I was looking for a dupe for The Frankie Shop quilted jacket when I came across this one from Zara (style 4432/708). It's not exactly warm, but when layered with a wool sweater or some Uniqlo HeatTech underneath, it'll do. Best of all, it's water repellant and goes perfectly with leggings, jeans, sweatpants, basically everything that's already in my closet.
Here I styled it with the Sorel Brex Boots (waterproof) and a vintage Hermes Herbag PM to elevate the look. (Save 20% off with code ‘NATHALIEM20’ at lxrco.com when shopping for designer vintage bags.)

The Jacket I Predict Everyone Will Wear This Fall
I love how practical, everyday classics are making a comeback for fall. Between my obsession for lug sole boots and leggings, quilted jackets are another fall staple that has been in heavy rotation.
It seems like quilted jackets are on everyone's radar because I got a ton of inquiries on my Instagram Stories about the olive-colored one I'm wearing here.
This reversible jacket from Zara is $79.99 CAD (style 7522/048) and comes in a slightly oversized fit. I'm wearing a size small but could have probably gotten away with a medium for a roomier look.
Below you'll find my favorite quilted jackets of the season, from low to high to suit everyone's budget. Happy shopping!

LOEWE NANO PUZZLE BAG | Review + How To Style
The Loewe Nano Puzzle bag launched earlier this year and if I’m being honest, I wasn’t feeling it at first. Wild coming from someone who loves Loewe bags and owns two Puzzle bags, right?
Well, that all changed when I decided to order it last month. I had just sold a few items from my closet and felt that it was time for a new bag - enter the Nano Puzzle.
Since getting the Nano, I haven’t stopped wearing it. The soft white calf leather goes well with my wardrobe and adds a nice pop to my outfits.
SHOP SMALL LOEWE BAGS
Even though the size is teeny tiny (approx. 5" length x 3.25" height x 2" width), it surprisingly fits a good amount of stuff. In my YouTube review on the Nano Puzzle, I showed that it fits a cardholder, hand sanitizer, hand cream, lipstick, and small perfume bottle comfortably. It doesn’t fit an iPhone or a pair of sunglasses because the bag isn’t wide enough - but I’m okay with that.
I should mention that for daily use I don't use my cardholder with the Nano. I just let my debit and credit cards roam free in the bag. This allows for more space to be freed up, and it’s easier to get things in and out.
SHOP WHITE BAGS UNDER $460
Overall, the Loewe Nano Puzzle bag has been a great addition to my closet. It’s a fun little bag to wear and the palladium chain adds a chic touch.

Hermès Evelyne PM Bag Review feat. LXRandCo
Over the past couple of years, I've moved away from trendier bags and started collecting more of the classics - Loewe, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and now, Hermès.
While I hadn't planned on owning an Hermès for another couple of years, I decided to go for it after coming across the beautiful Hermès Evelyne PM bag at LXRandCo.
I had spent years collecting trendy designer bags only to sell them later, so why not invest in a timeless brand like Hermès?
For those not familiar with LXRandCo, they're a luxury retailer that has an assortment of modern vintage bags and accessories from Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Goyard, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent to name a few.
Unlike some other online pre-loved retailers that I've shopped from in the past, LXRandCo has an option to filter the location of where your item is coming from. So for example when I was looking at Hermès bags, I set the filter so that I was only looking at items shipping from Canada, which meant I wouldn't have to worry about customs or duties.
After setting the filter Location to Canada, a couple of Evelyne bags popped up on my screen. They had a beautiful white canvas Evelyne available but it was in the GM size which probably would have been too big for my liking.
After careful consideration, I decided on the classic Hermès orange in the PM size. Not only is the PM better suited for my petite frame, but the colour is everything that Hermès dreams are made of.
I've heard so many amazing things about the Hermès Evelyne but it wasn't until I used the bag for the first time that I truly understood it.
While most of the designer bags in my collection score high on design, the Evelyne bag scores 10/10 for design and function. Here's why:
It's lightweight so that you don't have unnecessary extra weight on your shoulder.
The cotton strap is sturdy. Even though it's thicker than the strap on my Loewe Puzzle bag, this one stays on my shoulder and doesn't slide off because it's made of webbed cotton versus leather.
There are no interior or exterior pockets, however, it fits my Louis Vuitton Toiletry 19 pouch perfectly so that I can store small items like lipstick safely in the bag without having to dig around.
The understated design is elegant which makes it truly versatile, and it suits my personal style perfectly. I can see myself wearing this bag all year long through all four seasons.
I've been fortunate in collecting various handbags throughout the years and I'd say that the Hermès Evelyne PM is probably the perfect everyday bag. And in case you're curious, mine is in the Evelyne I PM in Orange, Epsom leather with palladium hardware.

What's in my Céline bag
I recently bought myself a new bag - a Céline nano luggage in the colour Vermillion.
Two things you should know right off the bat. First, I've always wanted a Céline luggage bag. In fact, I wanted one so bad that I got my Saint Laurent nano Sac De Jour in hopes to curb my need for the Céline. Why didn't I just get it to begin with? Who knows. Second, I've been wanted a red bag for a long time now. But not just any red. It had to be a happy bright-orange shade. Vermillion if you will.
So this bag gets posted on Love That Bag earlier this summer but I kept holding off. You see, as much as I love having nice handbags, I'm actually pretty careful about what I buy. Mainly because I have an insane shoe obsession but that's a topic for another day. As you can see, I finally bite the bullet and decide to buy it. There's just something so special about this colour that is so magical to me and it makes me insanely happy. Just peek inside my bag and you can see how much I love red.
I got my bag last week and I haven't stopped wearing it since. The leather is soft and buttery but it doesn't scuff easily. It's so much more comfortable to wear than my Saint Laurent nano bag and it fits a surprising amount of stuff in it. I'm pretty confident that I won't get tired of this bag anytime soon. Considering it was on my wishlist for so many years now I know it was a solid buy. Also, my small leather goods fit beautifully in my new Céline luggage. ;)
If you haven't heard of Love That Bag then you might be a new reader to my blog (oh hi and welcome!) because I've blogged about them lots in the past. LTB is an online consignment shop based out of Montreal, Canada. They specialize in luxury bags and pride themselves in selling authentic bags in excellent condition. I bought my Chanel patent leather Jumbo Flap bag from them last year and I couldn't have had a better experience.
I love small leather goods for keeping my life organized. In my bag you can find my small LV agenda, Chanel card holder, Tumi makeup bag and my iPhone, which is always dressed in a Felony Case. This is one is real marble!
I don't actually have a proper wallet. I toggle between my Chanel cardholder and my Louis Vuitton agenda which has compartments for cards. For tiny bags, I love using a card holder because it keeps my essentials in one place. Before I got it, I used to just throw my license and credit cards into my bag and let them float around. I'm lucky I never lost anything this way because it would have been easy to drop my ID on the floor without noticing if I was pulling out something else.
My LV agenda is my life line. I bought it in the small size because I wanted it to fit into my small bags. It keeps my schedule, my banking cards and license. While it's not the easiest to write on the small pages, I do love it for what it is, a chic and convenient accessory for keeping my life organized. It has extra compartments to stash my receipts and business cards which is great.
A small leather bag to hold makeup is a must. I got this one from Tumi on sale year for about $30 at Toronto Premium Outlets. It fits inside my Céline bag perfect and holds all of my makeup essentials - oh you know, four or five lipsticks as per usual, a compact, hand cream, powder and a small powder brush, all which are oddly absent from my bag at the moment. Hmm...
That's pretty much it! The makeup I carry with me can change on any given day and sometimes I'll carry a small travel sized perfume if I have an event but my accessories usually stay the same. It's about staying organized so I don't loose anything or have to go digging deep into my bag to find lip balm for my debit card. That was the old me and trust me, I never want to be that messy again!
