It’s New York Fashion Week and I Don’t Care…

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 […]

Fashion Week….Burn Out?

Fashion Week, Toronto Fashion Week

Toronto Fashion Week starts next Monday.  Yes, it’s now “officially” called Toronto Fashion Week.   I’m looking forward to the Fall/Winter 2016 shows.  Kind of.  I don’t know.  Many of my favourites are back (though Pink Tartan is NOT showing for some reason), including Hillary MacMillian and Triarchy and Greta Constantine will be closing the week […]

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Wishing all of you a very prosperous 2016!  This year, we plan to focus much more on social media and less on blogging.  But don’t worry, there’ll still be “regular” posts on DelectablyChic! Events we plan to cover this year include the usual, such as the Interior Design Show (the first big one of 2016), […]

Happy Fifth Birthday, DelectablyChic!

DelectablyChic! Anniversary, five years, DelectablyChic, Cynthia Cheng Mintz

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 […]

Changes Coming to DelectablyChic!

I’ve been blogging under DelectablyChic! for nearly four years and blogging, period for even longer (we were previously known as Prospere Magazine, which made its debut in January 2008.  I also ran Shorty Stories, which lasted from 2007 until last year.  Prior to that, I had a LiveJournal).  Lately, I’ve been thinking about my posting […]

On Blogging, Other Bloggers and Fitting In

What exactly IS DelectablyChic!?  We have been publishing under this brand name for more than three years, and over six if the previous brand, Prospere Magazine was included in the mix.  We have always had a mixture of food, fashion/beauty, travel and other topics such as events and some entertainment, and it is what the […]

Bloggers Praise Certain Celebrities, Just Because?

Maybe it was just me, but during and after the Superbowl, practically every style blogger in North America was praising Beyonce’s performance.  Umm… really?  Was she THAT GOOD, performance wise?  Even the Destiny’s Child was pretty much expected.  And her costume wasn’t outstanding, either.  I’m sorry, but I’ve seen leather body suits before.  Besides, why […]

Dealing With an Uncool Phone

A couple of months ago, my Blackberry died.  And I mean died.  As in I was getting a White Screen of Death.  Though my carrier said that they’d fix it, I was in a hurry to have a smartphone for an upcoming event.  I purchased another Blackberry (no contract) because it was more affordable and […]

The Ideal DelectablyChic! Work Wardrobe (Women)

Cynthia Cheng Mintz So with UBS recently publishing what they consider an appropriate work wardrobe being one of the most trending topics last week (and apparently, people are *STILL* talking about it), I’ve decided to post one of my own as well.  To prevent readers from getting bored, I will try to keep it very brief, not […]
