About Me

Ottawa designer sunglasses Fashion blog blogger Chantsy Ottawa Influencer

Hey, I’m Chantal Sarkisian, but you can call me Chantsy! I'm the Creative Director, Editor (and Curvy Model!) at Mode XLusive, a staple Ottawa fashion blog.

Welcome to my creative (and sometimes funny!) fashion journal, where I share practical styling tips, beauty secrets, and personal rants with a refreshing body-positive attitude.
Mode XLusive is your destination for smart fashion talk that offers a glimpse into the local Ottawa fashion and culture scene.

The XL in Mode XLusive is not about size; it’s a lifestyle. So, join me on my journey to living large!

Stay Classic & Classy, XOX Chantsy

  • Who’s coming to my third Beauty and Yoga retreat at Yoga Attic on March 1 in Ottawa? Please join me in this special evening alongside powerful women, who like you, enjoy the magic of a good relaxing session of YIN yoga, who need a reminder to love themselves first, and who want to connect over their passion for all things beauty 😍 Please head over to the @yogaattic website and register online. The event is limited to 18 people, and they tend to sell out quickly. Each event is designed to bring you a unique experience, so even if you have attended in the past, expect a little something different. I have made so many amazing connections with the women who attend these sessions, and I can’t wait to make more! 💕✨✨✨Namastay beautiful 😘 . #ottawayoga #yogaottawa #yogaattic #ottawayogaretreat #yogaretreat #namastaybeautiful #torontobeauty #ottawabeauty #ottawalife #ottawaevents #thingstodoinottawa #yowevents #ottawamom #ottawamoms #ottawamoments #ottawablogger #ottawayogi #ottawayogis

  • ✨Turns dreams into reality ✨ Remember a few months back when I said that you should dream less and do more, this is a perfect example that I hope will inspire you. 💕 One day I woke up and said that I wanted a permanent space to help me create more videos for my YouTube channel. I realize that I wasn’t using my guest room to its full potential, and decided to turn it into my official YouTube studio! 🛠 The transformation of my studio all started with an email to @gianttigerstore ... I found the perfect desk that would serve as a backdrop and make up desk. 💥 In my latest video, I share the entire journey, a before and after of the space, and a mini haul of some awesome products that I discovered at Giant Tiger 🐯 visit the link in my bio or search TheChantsy on YouTube! .

  • Fine- you can everything you want 😍 The theme at home after dog sitting Roary all week 🤣 This little sweety was a great way to introduce the Days to possibly getting a dog. But I tell ya, having a dog in the winter is not easy. I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but seriously not this much. They are living beings, they need attention, care and love 💕 and walks to make them go poop 🐕💩 . . #goldendoodle #goldendoodlesofinstagram
