National Women’s Show Toronto: Fun Day – Just Not for Media

The National Women’s Show Toronto edition was held Friday through Sunday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.  As usual, there were exhibitors from many industries, ranging from fashion and beauty to food, travel and more.  In addition, there were demonstrations and fashion shows.  All in all, the event was a great deal of fun – […]

Petites at J. Crew Brick and Mortar Stores!

Well, at Yorkdale and the Eaton Centre in Toronto, anyway.  I am unsure about petite availability in other cities.  While the collection is very small (for example, only two washes in the Toothpick jean, perhaps three style of dresses and a handful of Tippi sweaters were among the pieces available).  We shorter women no longer […]

Am I Becoming ‘Conservative’?

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 […]

Here Comes the Cashmere Bride: Highlights from White Cashmere 2015

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 […]

Virginia Tourism’s Foodie Event at ARD

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 […]

Highlights from the Toronto Food & Wine Festival

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 […]

Toronto Food and Wine Festival: Starts Friday!

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 […]
