Wow, so many goodies at the spring One of a Kind Show this year! I was a little disappointed that my favourite spring artisan, Beverley’s Bakers (delicious butter tarts of all kinds) was not at the show this time around, but other favourites, including The Fishery and 3rd Floor Studio. In the meantime, I discovered […]
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 […]
…NOT!!! I’m no influencer. I’m pretty much just some person from Toronto who runs a blog – just like hundreds of others in the city. I don’t even get invitations to the so-called “coolest” parties. I mostly apply for media passes or pay to attend as an attendee (I’d say it’s about 50-50 right now. […]
Nordstrom held a pre-opening gala at their Eaton Centre store on Wednesday featuring shopping, fashion shows as well as delicious bites. Proceeds, which totalled over $270,000, are going to various organizations including the Hospital for Sick Children, Covenant House and Women’s College Hospital. A (small) crowd shot Shot from the fashion show featuring interesting headgear […]
People have been predicting the death of the skinny jean for years. In fact, they say that the fall season is most definitely the end. After all, New York fashion editors have been photographed wearing anywhere from flares to boot cut to, well, anything that isn’t skinny (no, “distressed” doesn’t really count, since they can […]
NOTE: I have started a new section where we can show our support to Canadian fashion and its designers. I am encouraging everyone to share images of them on Instagram wearing pieces by Canadian designers and using the hashtag #isupportcanadianfashion. More details here! It was announced today that Toronto’s semi-annual fashion extravaganza will not […]
LaMarque made its Toronto Fashion Week debut on Tuesday with a gorgeous, wearable collection of looks which have a bit of classical, elegant inspiration, yet still very contemporary. These classic looks are versatile and wearable, unlike many designers who seem to aspire to shock (but at the same time are showing pieces which are not […]
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 […]
Barbie finally comes in different body types! Including petite! I know media are going to focus on “curvy” Barbie, because that’s what media (and body image activists) do, but it’s important to highlight other non-“standard” (whatever that means) sizing as well. I’m a short girl and as short girls know, we have our own “issues” […]
The One of a Kind Show kicked off Thursday at the EnerCare Centre (formerly known as the Direct Energy Centre) at Exhibition Place. For those of us looking for holiday items, especially items to add to the tree (or, if you’re like me, for the tree – my tree doesn’t go up until the first […]
