Ted Baker Eaton Centre: Opens November 1

I had the wonderful opportunity to stop into a media preview of Toronto’s second Ted Baker store at the Eaton Centre last night before heading off to the opera.  The new store, located next to Harry Rosen on the south side of the third floor, is probably a bit smaller than the Yorkdale location.  According […]

DelectablyChic!’s Favourite Toronto Restaurants: Milagro Cantina Mexicana

My husband got me into Mexican food.  Before meeting him, the only “Mexican” I had were school cafeteria tacos – you know, grocery store bought taco shells that are more chip-like than a “real” tortilla.  My parents never took me to any sort of Mexican when I was growing up – it was pretty much […]

Malorie Urbanovitch: Normcore with a Twist

I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges.  It screamed fall/winter.  Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight.  However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]

Rachel Sin: Jetsetting in Work and in Play

The theme for Rachel Sin’s show is “The Urban Jetsetter” and unlike other presentations, two seasons were shown at once.  Typically during Fashion Week, pieces seen on the runway are for the upcoming season.  Instead, the designer is showing both items currently available as well as next season!  The fall pieces, presented first under the […]

Pastel Ballerina Looks at Narces for Spring 2015

The press release may note that the upcoming season’s looks for Narces is inspired by the Victorian age and birdcages, but that’s not all it is.  In fact, without the media alert, the birdcage look would not even have crossed my mind!  Instead, I was thinking the ballerina – at least for the shorter pieces.  […]
