…and also wins this year’s Mercedes-Benz Startup (MBStartup)! Sid first showed his entire Spring/Summer 2015 collection, which according to the press release is “based on packaging design. It’s about transforming two dimensional to three dimensional; achieved through laser cutting and mathematical pattern design” followed by a condensed version at the MBStartup presentation along with five […]

French pop group, Yelle will be the featured artist at this year’s Operanation, to be held on October 16, 2014 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. It’s a week earlier than usual, and perhaps a good thing, since the party is often during World MasterCard Fashion Week, meaning for many (especially media), […]
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to speak with trendy, New York-based designer Nili Lotan. Ms. Lotan’s pieces, often celebrity favourites, target a sophisticated woman who is not only looking for classic, long-lasting style, but also comfort. The current Fall/Winter collection is filled with loose, comfortable pieces that pair well with skinnies or leggings and […]
The article about Bayview Village Shopping Centre over at Retail Insider inspired me to write about the mall from my own perspective. The mall, located at Bayview and Sheppard, has a special place in my heart because I grew up in the area and can proudly say that I’ve been going there since BEFORE I […]
Spring/Summer 2015 for Hervé Leger seems to mean East Asia and gold sequins, while at the same time, not moving away from the line’s signature bodycon looks. The show started out with a few dresses that had short, but kimono-inspired sleeves which I liked (though it could be a little bit overwhelming on certain sizes), […]

Traditionally, the “runway collection” presented at New York Fashion Week was very artistic, and definitely not wearable by the vast majority. However, the same can’t be said for the upcoming collection. In fact, I have to admit that I’m […]
The “backpacking year” is a particular rite of passage into adulthood that many young women embark on. This longstanding ritual requires this breed of traveller to forsake the creature comforts of home to venture off to some unknown land. Armed with little more than a cell phone, a half-decent roaming plan and just a few […]
Recently, Style Democracy posted an article on the skinny and how many women have mixed feelings about them (Refinery 29 has even gone as far as announcing its death). I personally LOVE them (along with other forms of skinny pants), especially for winter. Living in a city that gets snow, I really hate it when […]
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 […]
