If there were an award for Toronto’s most fashionable twins, Samantha and Caillianne Beckerman would win it year after year. The identical duo’s love for a kaleidoscopic magpie blend of designer duds has not only become a staple on the Toronto fashion scene, but on the web as well, where they boast a cool 44,000 Instagram fans. To boot, the sisters are H&M’s official fashion bloggers and have previously collaborated with Coach, Aldo, Bulgari and Teen Vogue, just to name a few. So, how do they do it? The Beckerman sisters really seem to have fun with fashion. Definitive subscribers of a “more is more” sensibility, the duo are constantly dressing up for each other on their blog Beckerman Bite Plate and well, we just can’t get enough. The twins let us inside their fabulous Mary Poppins bags for a peek at what they carry with them on a daily basis. The results, as you would imagine, are some of the most vibrant and fun imagery we’ve seen all week!

Samantha Beckerman:
Cubby, our dog, loves to be in bags. He loves my Jeremy Scott Keyboard bag the best! And he sits in there on top of all my stuff! I usually divide up all my stuff into smaller bags so it’s easy to find when I need something. I put my smaller things into my H&M Watermelon bag like my camera and his dog treats.

Samantha Beckerman:
I always carry my camera around because we are always blogging and you never know when you are going to find a fabulous blog wall. My cell phone case was designed by my sister Chloe who is the textile designer at Juicy Couture. And I love how she did watercolour surf flowers. My iPod is an original from 2001. It’s an oldy! But it still works and boy is it heavy and thick! It still works, so there is no need to get a new one. (I hope that didn’t just jinx it!)

Samantha Beckerman:
Cubby also needs his accessories. So I have my floral H&M bunny ears for him, and my Louis Vuitton journal as well as my keys that have a Bart Simpson charm that Chloe my sister got for me. I keep my keys in my pink Marc by Marc Jacobs bunny.

Samantha Beckerman:
I always wear red lipstick. I wear Nars “Dragon Girl” and “Heat Wave.” When I don’t wear lipstick and am going to the dentist, I wear Nars “Barbarella.” It’s the best nude colour. I also carry my M.A.C Studio fix powder for when we are filming and need touch ups.

Samantha Beckerman:
I love chocolate granola bars and always have one in my bag, as well as mints and gum. These mints were a gift from my sister Caillianne. They are Ouija board mints and really good for after coffee. She got them in L.A for me.

Caillianne Beckerman Bag
Caillianne Beckerman:
I usually carry around a big bag because I have a whole lotta stuff. This is my favourite Marc Jacobs bag because I got it with my sisters in New York and they made me get it! We were on a sister trip and they said I couldn’t leave the store without it! (Thanks shopping buddies!) I love the neon studs and the hand painted bamboo handles and the tweed and patent leather combo.

Caillianne Beckerman:
I love gum! I love all the different flavours like root beer, apple pie and key lime pie. I just picked it all up from this little convenience store. But normally I take one and keep them in different purses because I change up my purse a lot.

Caillianne Beckerman:
This is the best little Banana H&M case. I keep all my red lipstick in it in my purse. I have a lot of “Dragon Girl” Nars chunky pencil lipsticks because they need to be sharpened all the time. So I sharpen all of them and put them in and use whichever one is good to go. I also use Nars “Heave Wave” throughout the day as well as Covergirl “Hot Passion.” If I feel like wearing orange I wear “Outrageous” by Stila.

Caillianne Beckerman:
I don’t like being cold. And never want to catch a draft! I So I always carry a bandana in my purse. I also have my essential sunglasses. I have my Ray-Ban Wayfarers and a pair of fun H&M daisy glasses. I also always have a pair of H&M drama earrings my purse in case I need to dress up fast, or my outfit needs something, they are my backup! The fan is for my dogs. It’s for when we are in the car and they need to be cooled down.

The Comme des Garcons leather zip pouch was a gift from my sister Chloe. And I love it! It holds my iPod in it, which I use on the subway.
