It makes sense that accessory lust-makers would in turn, lust after accessories themselves. We just never realized how much. When Jodie and Danielle Snyder, the sister duo behind the arm party accessories brand Dannijo, stopped by Toronto for their trunk show at Holt Renfrew last month, the two practically spilled Harlequin novels about love for their purses for our What’s in Your Bag shoot. “You know they say plants, pets, people. I think it’s purses, people,” said Danielle. “She’s always on me, I have to know where she is when I’m talking to someone.”

See what’s inside Diamond Rings’ bag »

With his slick pop sounds, his platinum shaved pompadour and his larger than life stage presence; Diamond Rings (John O’Regan IRL) is arguably Canada’s coolest artist. For those who have witnessed his greatness on stage, well, you get it. Those who haven’t? Just have a listen to his latest album Free Dimensional and you will too. Released last October, the 10-track synth offering is the surest sign that he’s made the big time, with the help of producer Damian Taylor, who has previously worked with Björk, The Killers and The Prodigy. His single, “I’m Just Me” screams anthem with every beat. To boot, his performed it on both The Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Not bad for a guy who used to create whole albums from his bedroom.

Go inside Allison Williams’ bag! »

Girls is back. Girls is back! One of our most intense cultural obsessions returns with its Season 2 premiere on January 13, 2013 at 9pm on HBO Canada, and what better way to celebrate than with a look inside the beautiful bag of one of its beautiful stars, Allison Williams.

Our former cover girl was in Toronto last week to promote the new episodes as well as the release of season one on DVD and Blu-Ray (Its accompanying book of Lena Dunham’s tweets is epic, FYI) and graciously dumped the contents of her Jason Wu Daphne shoulder bag. While her stuff was being photographed, I super-fan quizzed her on the return of Booth Johnathan as well as what the next season looks like for character Marnie Michaels, who seemed to be floundering sans-boyfriend and roommate at the end of season one. “She’s having a rough go. She’s without the same comforts that she had in season one, so she’s very influx, and that is something that I know that I, and a lot of my friends can relate to,” she said. “When it rains, it really does seem to pour especially when you’re in your mid-twenties when you don’t have a lot of foundation already laid down it can just throw everything into upheaval at once—job, everything.”

See what’s inside Gregory Gorgeous’s purse! »

If you’re active in the online beauty world, you definitely know Gregory Gorgeous. His YouTube channel—which features everything from makeup tutorials to discussions about LGBT rights—has an impressive following (44 million video views? No big deal.) and now that the second season of his reality show, The Avenue, has started, he’s certainly on the brink of becoming a household name. Based in Toronto, The Avenue follows Gregory Gorgeous and his equally gorgeous friends as they try to make it in the city—think of it as our version of The Hills. So how does a reality TV and makeup tutorial star stay fabulous all day long? We jumped at the chance to explore Gregory’s Balenciaga Classique bag. Inside we uncovered multiple pairs of sunglasses (Gucci! Celine!), loads of M.A.C lipsticks and glosses, his favourite perfume and a host of other curious things. We don’t use this word often, but if anyone deserves the title of fierce, it’s Gregory Gorgeous.

See what’s inside Lisa Ray’s purse! »

Lisa Ray is no stranger to multi-tasking. From hosting Top Chef Canada to acting in an Oscar-nominated film to supporting philanthropic ventures around the world, she’s mastered the art of doing it all. And this October was no different: Ray partnered with Pantene and the Canadian Cancer Society as an ambassador for the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program, a decision that was motivated by her own diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma in 2009. So what does a spokesperson/actress/TV host/social activist carry with her on a day-to-day basis? Daily affirmation cards, three pairs of glasses and one very necessary iPad, to start! Curious? Let’s explore Lisa Ray’s Gucci purse and see what else in inside…

See what’s inside the bags of the brains involved with fashion week »

Packing a bag for Toronto Fashion Week should be considered some sort of art. The contents of the bag must be able to transport the owner from work, to shows, to more shows, and to after-parties, therefore having the essentials on hand is, well, essential. This week, we’ve taken a look inside some of the organizers of rogue fashion week, including The ShOws mastermind Paola Fullerton, and three-member team spearheading The Collections: Dwayne Kennedy, Brian A. Richards and Mel Ashcroft. We’ve also snuck a look into Caitlin Power’s bag—the Calgary-born designer showed her collection as a part of the Mercedes-Benz Start Up competition at World MasterCard Fashion Week last night. The contents of these It bags (which range from Chloé to Chloé Comme Parris!) have one thing in common: they all serve as fashion week survival kits. Read more »

Sure, you’ve probably seen Aliya-Jasmine Sovani splashed all over your TV—from anchoring on MTV to being an entertainment correspondent for CTV—but we bet you’ve never had a chance to creep through her bag. Until now that is. Aside from juggling hosting duties, the 30-year old Sovani is also known for her involvement with various causes including Rethink Breast Cancer, for which she played co-host at last week’s Booby Ball. Have a peek inside the busy life of this stylish philanthropist. Hint: we’re not the only ones that are obsessed with Will and Kate!
