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 […]
As someone who enjoys health and wellness retreats, embarking on a foodie excursion to Chicago would require me to adjust my expectations. There would be a dearth of fruits and veggies at mealtime, to be sure – after all, the city is known for its deep-dish pizzas, hot dogs, and pierogis. In fact, it was […]
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 […]
…what a disappointment! I spent much of Friday up there, just to see what it was all about. After all, the mall has been around for more than a year. I knew, going in, not to expect Woodbury Common in New York, but I wasn’t thinking that it would be DREADFUL, either. Especially the food […]
The list is growing. So far, the count includes women, immigrants, veterans and more recently, hedge fund managers. He hasn’t insulted ALL of Wall Street yet, but I won’t be surprised if he does. And he’s gaining support. I’m not surprised about that. There is a segment of American society who DOES feel that way. […]
A recent post from CCP Luxury noted that luxury brands are more likely to launch in malls than on “high streets” here in Canada. But it wasn’t always this way. Usually, people expect that such stores go to, say, Bloor Street in Toronto or Robson Street in Vancouver. However, over the past few years, many […]
Over the weekend, my husband and I took a trip to Ottawa, his hometown. It’s funny, when people think of Ottawa, they think boring and dowdy. It is a government town, the capital of Canada, after all. On one of the days, we trekked over to the Rideau Centre, the city’s main mall, to have […]
I finished Harper Lee’s book last week and after thinking about it, can finally write how I feel. I read To Kill a Mockingbird in Grade 8, part of our English curriculum. Like most people, I loved the book and saw Atticus Finch as some sort of hero, especially for that time period. It is […]
