It looks like Kiehl’s has finally joined in to last year’s beauty crazy, BB Cream ($36 CDN). Launched earlier this year, the product boasts a high SPF at 50, higher than most brands, which are typically 25 to 30, has Vitamin C and is available in four shades, according to the US website: fair, fair/light, […]
Earlier this week, DelectablyChic! marked five years online. Well, it isn’t exactly five years as we published under another name – Prospere Magazine – between January 2008 and September 2010. The purpose when we launched was to have an online publication (marketed at that time as a “blogzine”) for smart, sophisticated women – a site […]
The third annual Paws for the Cause was held at 99 Sudbury this past Thursday with proceeds this year going to the The Central Toronto Veterinary Referral Clinic’s Cares Foundation, which helps people whose pets need special veterinary care.

If you think “standards” in North America are too thin, you’d be in for a shock when if you compare yourself to this chart from Korea (note: everything is in metric, in increments of 2 cm and height is roughly 5′ to 5’7″), which I discovered while reading a post from Bread, Butter and Champagne.

In 2007, I created a video at Shorty Stories asking the fashion industry, specially media to feature more designers who are specialty sized. Five years later, very little has changed, so I’m re-issuing the challenge, with some additions, now that both sites have had much more public exposure and social media is more mainstream: New […]
Hats, Etc. is the hat design house of Alan White and Barry Moss! The U.K. born but Ottawa based design duo create works of art for all occasions. We sat down and asked them a few questions about their growing company. When were you first interested in fashion?: White: For me, I would say in […]
