I’ve been sent quite a few books lately – not that it’s a bad thing. While I loved Rhianna Jones’s Parisienne French, I wasn’t as sure about I’d Rather Be Short: 100 Reasons Why It’s Great to be Small by Becky Murphy. As a fellow blogger and petite gal, I disagreed with many of Ms. […]
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 […]
Recently, I had the chance to speak with Caroline Misan Alvo, founder of Gambita, an online store for petite women. The website, which launched just this past January, after she left her job in the non-profit sector, is a play on being tiny – “gambita” means “little shrimp” in Spanish. At 4’9″, Caroline’s fashion woes […]
Held at Arta Gallery at the Distillery District, Minling Pan (DelectablyChic! spoke with Ms. Pan in an interview a few weeks ago) celebrated her anniversary and launched her private label collection on Monday evening. Featuring some of Toronto’s favourite bloggers as models (including Dainty Girl‘s Nicole Wilson, the Sparks Twins and Toronto Beauty Review‘s Elaine […]
I’ve been aware of Ela Handbags, a Canadian and Swedish based line of bags for a while now. However, I have to admit that I did not get a chance to properly see them up close until their fall preview/panel discussion at Holt Renfrew a couple of weeks ago. This was soon followed by a […]

Currently only available online, but with plans to open brick and mortar stores, the collection consists of skirts, dresses and jackets and features true […]
Last month, we asked our readers: Do you think anti-size zero activists understand that zero can be a “real” size for petites? The results were definitely not surprising: While 31% of you believed that body image activists only had issues with tall, size zero models, 23% of you believed that they don’t quite understand the […]
For a very long time, I was shooting not only outfit pictures for this site, but runway and other fashion images for DelectablyChic! (and its predecessor, Prospere Magazine) using an advanced point-and-shoot. However, I knew that if I wanted better pictures, I needed to invest in a better camera, something with interchangeable lenses. I got […]
Yes, we’re five years old today! You can find our very first post here. Many of our earliest posts were image-free, since the site was more of a rant about petite issues blog than one that was style-related. I wish I can get a screen capture of what the blog looked like when it first […]
