At home @ Nicky Hilton

Remember the paparazzi’s following Nicky Hilton’s style some years ago, for me now it seem like forever. Thanking the Coveteur for reminding us again about  her style, I want to share with all of you some amazing shots, from her closet and some pictures from her favorite pieces at home.  She was collecting rocking Balenciaga Motorcycle bags in every color of the rainbow at 16 years old – this brings me to believe that we all knew that this girl had something special. Besides being one of the most gracious and kindest Hilton daughters, this elegant and eloquent entrepreneur’s got one hell of a closet. And that’s an understatement. “My weakness is shoes,” says Hilton, while browsing through her pumps, wedges, flats, peep-toes and booties.  And though her kicks are perfectly organized by designer, she’s nothing short of a loyalist: Christian Louboutin and Alaïa top her list. See the wonderful pix below!

Nicky's weakness are def shoes. She organize them by designer. Her favorites are Christian Louboutin and Alaïa.

She loves Hello Kitty. Here Kitty is wearing Nicky's Marc Jacobs shoes and Cavalli cape.

This Hermès cuff was given to Nicky by her boyfriend for her birthday. He engraved it with her birth date and a sweet message. The Chanel bag is so teeny that it's sort of impractical but she couldn't resist.

Nicky loves the collaboration Tokidoki did with Karl Lagerfeld! Here he is sitting on her lamp adorned in some of my Chanel accessories. I love the limited edition necklace she got in the Las Vegas boutique.

She bought this Dolce coat when she was in Milan a few years ago for fashion week. It's subtle with sparkly accents. The Louboutins she needed to have. She is a sucker for anything with studs.

Nicky saw Sarah Jessica Parker wearing this clutch at the height of Sex & the City-mania and she knew she had to have it. Such a pretty clutch with a personal touch.

Nicky's jewelry collection is very deco inspired. She loves all things of that era.  In this pic: Shoes, Christian Dior; Jewelry, Nicky Hilton.

When she finds something she likes, she tends to buy it in all colors, shapes and sizes. All, Balmain

She bought this Versace dress at the Las Vegas boutique right after the Beyoncé video came out. She had an event that night and that dress is undeniably hot! In this pic: Dresses, Versace; Shoes, Yves Saint Laurent

She've been wearing Balenciaga bags since she was 16. So naturally she picked up many colors and variations along the way. Perfect go-to purse. The Alexander McQueen scarves are an easy, fun accessory to any outfit. In this pic: Bags, Balenciaga; Scarves, Alexander McQueen

Nicky says: "Meeting Obama was very neat. Such a cool, eloquent, personal man. I feel prouder to be American than ever right now. Go USA!" In this pic: Top, Catherine Malandrino; Skirt, Patricia Field; Shoes, Christian Louboutin; Bag, Chanel

Nicky and her boyfriend  did this shoot for L'uomo Vogue. They are both in Dior Homme. The photographer wanted her to look like the dominating male.

Coat, Christian Dior; Dress, Louis Vuitton.

Nicky says: "No one makes sexier (and more expensive may I add!) shoes than Alaïa." Top, Chloé; Shoes, Alaïa; Bag, Yves Saint Laurent; Necklace, Chanel.

"I love ice cream. It's sweet and innocent." - Nicky adds. "My friend Onch Movement designed the single scoop ice cream necklace. Very Katy Perry!" Top and Shoes, Chanel; Necklace, Onch Movement

"After months of searching and being on waiting lists I finally stumbled on this Kelly bag in St. Barts during Christmas a few years back. I guess someone had ordered it and didn't pick it up so it was mine. You snooze you loose!" - Nicky says.

What more I can say?? - Lucky you Nicky for being a Hiltons daughter!!! :)))

Suzanne Rogers | The Lady with mixed style who combines fashion and philanthropy

Inside Suzanne Rogers' midtown Toronto home, the home looks like spring heaven - thanks to the heady scent of pink hyacinths.

Mrs. Rogers, the wife of Rogers Communications deputy chair Edward Rogers, is also channelling spring in cheerful pastel colors, in a bluish colored Chanel dress and her favorite shade of Estee Lauder Perfect Pink lipstick.  Naturally, Mrs. Rogers also favors dramatic looks and frills, bows and ruffles are a common detail. This unabashedly feminine style has made her a fixture in the society pages, poised and posed at charity events in intricate swoops of hand-embroidered silk and other elaborate cocktail dresses. But while the formal dining room we're sitting in may also be upholstered in shades of pink–it's jokingly dubbed 'Suzanne's pink boardroom' — the long list of children's-focused charities Rogers supports with philanthropic planning meetings, held at this very table, take the seat in the front row, so to speak.

I love traditional old world French design in furniture and architecture, I am always inspired by the Ritz in Paris.

I adore this jackets. They are so tough yet so feminine with the crystal bows and crystal details. I love how Balmain does that balance of rocker chic.

These dresses are from my ultimate favorite designer Mary Katrantzou. I love the beautiful original prints; absolute chic, I go crazy for these beautiful details.

She says: "I love fashion"  - "But it's not an obsession for me. I'm fortunate that I've got access to it. I do one Paris trip a year and the rest of the time it's day to day life."

The mother of three has two young boys, Jack and Edward, and says that if her eldest, 12-year-old daughter, Chloe, happens to raid her closet, it's not to borrow mom's Louis Vuitton or swipe a Birkin bag but to borrow her sweats. "

She doesn't even know what a Birkin bag is–nor should she, at 12!"

She is a collector of all McQueen. There are many pieces she has that have never been worn and are like pieces of art in her closet that one day will be incredible vintage pieces. 

She sayes: "This is one of my most favorite pieces of Chanel; bought for a Chanel runway show in Paris but didn’t end up wearing it. Still have not worn it yet and keeps calling out to me every time I walk past her!"

I love the detail in the knuckle handles with the crystals and skull heads and the distinctive McQueen shape.
