I try to avoid buying black or charcoal coats. When everyone has a similar coloured coat, you just blend in with the rest. Besides, winter’s cold and it gets dark early, so why do you want to…disappear? One reason why I try to look for brighter colours (or at least, not something dark) when I’m […]
I was very glad to see the latest IFB challenge (#115!!), which asked posters to share a plaid look. In the 90s, I had tons of plaid – it was the “thing” to wear in my earlier teens, after all. It then all died down and it either went deep in my closet or disappeared […]
There’s the OTT street style one sees at various Fashion Weeks and there’s normal, every day clothing. Honestly, I don’t really give a HOOT on the former. I think a lot of people who wear the crazy clothing at Fashion Week only do so to get attention, and I have never really been inspired by […]
This week, Independent Fashion Bloggers asked us to write about fall boots. Though it’s still fairly warm in Toronto – this week’s weather will be in the mid 20s C – projected temperatures over the next couple of weeks will drop down to the mid to high teens. Though not cool enough for boots just […]
A girl can never have too much black (or lip gloss), in my opinion. And that has definitely been the case, historically speaking, when you take a peek into my closet. Though over the past year or so, I’ve been adding more colour, many of my favourites, especially in cooler months, have been black. On […]
I’m not a big fan of strong, bold lip colour – probably influenced by strict no make-up dress codes in high school. I keep my face fairly bare, often just wearing sunscreen, primer and a bit of mascara and lip colour. So, for IFB’s 108th Project, which asks us about our favourite lipsticks, I decided […]
Recently, I asked readers on Facebook what they’d like to see more of on this site. Possible answers included the usual fashion, dining and travel…as well as “arts and culture,” which encompasses theatre, classical music, dance and so forth. As many online “style” publications, ones that seem to get the most press (in my world, […]
I’m not too fitness-obessed, but I go to the gym in my building several times a week and also see a personal trainer. The workouts with my trainer are intense, and I usually shower after my session. I keep a make-up case with what I call “essentials” in my gym bag, mostly with sample-sized items […]
A few days ago, IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) published a post on the iPhone versus the latest HTC DROID, an Android-operated device. I was a little bit astounded at the fact that I was the only one who mentioned that comparing the two is apples to oranges (no pun intended) rather than apples to apples, […]
Many bloggers, including Alterations Needed have posted about it. It was posted and discussed over at Independent Fashion Bloggers (IFB). As of March 31, 2012, Google Friend Connect (GFC) will be no more for anyone NOT using a Google-related blog. This means that if you follow DelectablyChic! via GFC, you will no longer be getting […]
