Dear Readers, This is my last post on DelectablyChic! I am embarking on a new journey in life and will no longer be posting on this site. I will keep the URL live for people to read older posts and will still be active on social media under the DelectablyChic! handle (especially Instagram). Since last […]
Not a knock against them – I use it, and use it regularly, but anyone who claims Instagram is the worst form of social media, mental health-wise probably doesn’t use its sister company, Facebook enough. Or maybe I just have weird friends. In the past year or so, I have had to unfollow a bunch […]
I grew up with strict dress codes. In fact, I wore a school uniform for seven years. I wasn’t allowed to wear make-up, save for grub day (when we were allowed to wear “normal” clothing for $1 or $2) and earrings were limited to studs and small hoops (“keepers”). No nail polish either. And guess […]
DelectablyChic! will (finally) be getting a makeover over the next few weeks, switching to a more “traditional” blog-like layout. As you probably have realized, DelectablyChic! is reporting LESS on fashion and food, and MORE on how the founder/webitor-in-chief views and feels about the world. Whether there’ll be further changes is yet to be determined, as […]
I’m really sick of the “anything goes” society seem to be moving towards to today – especially for appearance. Yes, I like that we don’t have to dress up as much, to the point that some clubs have either toned down their dress codes for formal dining, or, even CLOSED their most formal dining areas. […]
A few years ago, I started building up my investment portfolio. I started paying more attention to business news and the stock market – probably a little later than I should have. My dad is in finance, but unlike my mom, who TRIED to get me interested in IT (didn’t work – if one can […]
I just finished Primates of Park Avenue, a “memoir” by Wednesday Martin, published a couple of years ago. Written in a satirical manner, the book criticizes the lives of Upper East Side women, particularly mothers, from a “transplant” perspective – as in someone who is not really “from” there, but instead, moved in after her […]
Let’s face it. You can’t live with it, nor can you live without it. Many, many of us are addicted to it. At the same time, however, it’s causing A LOT of stress. With everything going on in the world, one’s news feed is pretty much inundated with other people’s opinions, often saying how they’re […]
In fact, I have no plans to watch anything they’re streaming. I just don’t seem to care anymore. It’s not that I don’t like clothing or because I feel like the styles don’t apply to me, it’s just that it’s not something I’m not interested in writing much about anymore. I feel like my posts […]
Everyone, important or not, seems to be writing or talking about their own immigrant experience or that of their family members. That they came to escape persecution. So here’s my piece. Most of you know I’m a first generation Canadian born Canadian (or if you want to be ethnically accurate, Canadian born Chinese). My parents […]
