This is it. This is the inner circle.

You’ve had my wine spritzer, so I’ve already let you in on my best kept secret… but, what can I say, I guess I’m just a giver. Anyway, what’s a couple more secrets between friends?

All the latest and greatest. Right here at your fingertips – courtesy of yours truly. I just want you to show up at brunch this Sunday in the trendiest clothes with the hottest topics to discuss, don’t you? of course you do.

I mean, who wouldn’t, right?

Don’t say I never did anything for you.

NAPA VALLEY
29/04/22

Enough is enough. This is the year we travel.

I don’t know about you, but after two years of canceled plans, topped with a hefty dose of emotional recovery, I’m ready to get out of town and into the vacation of my dreams. What did I have in mind you ask? Well, Napa, of course! What else?

Of course I’m a wine lover at heart - that much should be obvious. But what makes this trip even more of a must-do now is the Four Seasons Napa Valley. Having just opened in November 2021, this gorgeous resort is literally brand-spanking-new, and couldn’t be more ready for a trip with all your favourite girls. It’s like having died and gone to wine heaven. This place has everything. From world-class cuisine to indulgent spa rituals, this is wine country luxury at its absolute best.

See you there,

CASA MADERA
29/04/22

Whatever your plans for dinner were tonight, cancel them. I’ve got something big for you. There are restaurants, and then there's being transported to a-whole-nother country when you walk through the door restaurants. I’m talking about the experiential Casa Madera. Sure, the restaurant is physically inside the 1 Hotel Toronto, but in reality, its more like something between Cabo and the Spanish Riviera. Once you step through those giant wooden doors, you get transported into a world of abundant greenery, delightful aromas and tropical cocktails.

The entire casa has a tropical ambience with golden light shining down on wood accents and an abundance of live plants.. As for the food, Mexico-born chef Olivier Le Calvez has put together a bold menu that strikes a perfect balance between Mexican and Mediterranean – just to die for: seasonally rotating tacos, grilled pacifico striped bass with a trio of house-made salsas, and seared Japanese wagu? I’ll have it all. Make it two please.

Bon Appetit Ladies,

CHANEL 22
18/04/22

Okay Ladies,

Chanel is back and they are not playing around. Have you seen the new Chanel 22 bag? It is an absolute must have.

Featuring a soft quilted leather and gorgeous gold link straps, it’s safe to say this purse just climbed up to the top of my ‘not want, but need’ list. Whatever your picturing, make it 10 times better, that’s the Chanel 22.

Unlike other bags we’ve seen from the brand before - insanely expensive and insanely NOT functional - this one really redefines what it means to be pretty in pink. With enough space to carry everything you need to conquer a day at work or take on the town at night, this bag feels downright empowering.

Until next time,
