Okay, I definitely DO NOT identify with the super-right wing, especially the American-style right (how can I? I’m Canadian! And I’m pro-equal marriage, too), but more and more, media outlets from the likes of Gawker Media (e.g. Jezebel, etc…) and Salon are annoying me with their super-politically correct perspective. For example, it seems to me […]
I’ve been covering the annual White Cashmere in support for breast cancer awareness since 2012 or so. This year was no exception. Hosted by Beverly Thomson and held on September 29 at the beautiful, historic Carlu on Yonge and College, the 2015 theme was centred around bridal gowns, with many of the country’s top wedding […]
Recently, DelectablyChic! travel writer, Lynn Burshtein and I were invited by Pulse Communications, a travel PR agency, to attend food-related event hosted by Virgina Tourism. Held at ARD (THE LOFT Andrew Richard Designs), it featured delicious delights highlighting the culinary scene in Virginia. There were food stations featuring fried hand pies, Virginia ham, oysters, Virginia […]
The first-ever Toronto Food & Wine Festival was held at Evergreen Brickworks between Friday, September 18 and Sunday, September 20. I have to admit that the event was a bit more fun when it was known as the “Delicious Food Show.” It felt a little smaller this year, without many of the vendors from last […]

The inaugural Toronto Food and Wine Festival (formerly known as the Delicious Food Show) starts on September 18! Sure, it has a very similar name to that OTHER food and wine event in November (but I’m sure no one will be confused), the website makes it sound a bit more casual and more consumer-focused. And […]
A while back, I said that I was NOT going to get any new skinny jeans. I already had a huge collection, and there was no point. But that collection mostly consists of black and dark blue pieces. I was okay with colour. And when Edeleman, LOFT’s PR company contacted me about the opportunity to […]
Apple announced a new phone, new iPad and Apple TV earlier this week. I was a bit underwhelmed at the announcement – it wasn’t anything that wasn’t already leaked. I was also a bit disappointed with the iPad Pro. Sure, there’s a keyboard and a stylus (overpriced, I might add), but it would have been […]
It’s not census time in Canada, but one question has always been in my mind. What am I supposed to answer when they ask about my so-called “mother tongue?” Do I REALLY say that it’s Cantonese? Or should I say that it’s English? I feel like I’m lying either way, as I’m sure many children […]
Today is my birthday. Incidently, it is also DelectablyChic!‘s birthday. Five years ago today, the two year old Prospere Magazine became DelectablyChic!. Though there were a couple of posts which went live before September 1, 2010, the first “official” post was a restaurant review of Cantine, located on Avenue Road, just north of Bloor. What […]
