Kim Flanagan is my new hero. A stylish and successful career woman who also has a rich family life, she deserves idol worship in my books. Flanagan is a stylist for Southcentre Mall, owner of Church myStyle events and is a freelance stylist and blogger.  She’s also a wife and mother of two and seriously loves her red wine, cheese and has a shoe collection to die for.

When I first spotted Flanagan, I knew she absolutely had to be in the fashion industry. She oozes self-confidence and clearly practices what she preaches stylistically.  Her personal esthetic is chic and beautifully put together, even on her most casual days and meeting her has  been a highlight of my 2011 street style hunting.
