Not a knock against them – I use it, and use it regularly, but anyone who claims Instagram is the worst form of social media, mental health-wise probably doesn’t use its sister company, Facebook enough. Or maybe I just have weird friends. In the past year or so, I have had to unfollow a bunch […]

All That Social Media Stress…Time to Unplug?
Let’s face it. You can’t live with it, nor can you live without it. Many, many of us are addicted to it. At the same time, however, it’s causing A LOT of stress. With everything going on in the world, one’s news feed is pretty much inundated with other people’s opinions, often saying how they’re […]
That Fabulous Life of a Blogger
…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. […]
J. Crew Phases Out Petites In Stores…Again
The other day, I trekked from my barre class at the King/University area to the Eaton Centre. Whenever I’m at that mall, I make my usual stops, which often includes J. Crew. After the December holiday season, I noticed that the store started carrying a small selection of petite sizes. Good news for a short […]
Old Fashioned, On Social Media
Recently, I’ve found myself unfollowing many of my social media friends. I’m technically still “friends” with them on Facebook, but I’ve just eliminated them from popping up on my feed. It’s just that I can’t stand their perspective anymore – especially in this political climate. I understand that we form our views based on experience […]
Fashion Week….Burn Out?
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 […]
Happy New Year, Everyone!
Wishing all of you a very prosperous 2016! This year, we plan to focus much more on social media and less on blogging. But don’t worry, there’ll still be “regular” posts on DelectablyChic! Events we plan to cover this year include the usual, such as the Interior Design Show (the first big one of 2016), […]
Love To Take Pics of What You Eat? Introducing FoodShootr
A new foodie app has landed on iOS. Toronto-based FoodShootr, launched only on February 11, features not only a built-in camera, but also filters (like Instagram), allows phonographers to snap, edit and share not only delicious pictures they’re dining on at a restaurant, but also home creations and take-out as well. All photos can be […]
New York Fashion Week Catch-Up: Marissa Webb, Rebecca Minkoff and Trina Turk
It’s been a very busy schedule over the past few days with meetings and seminars, so I’m finally beginning to catch up with the goings on with New York Fashion Week thanks to modern technology and communications. With shows not only streaming live, but archived on YouTube, it’s easy to watch shows at a later […]
On Stores, Shopping, Social Media and Customer Content
Over the past few years, bloggers have been very influential for many shoppers, especially if said blogger is a similar size. Many stores have embraced online comments (Anthropologie, the US Gap Inc. sites (now when will the Canadian sites add this feature?), etc…) and others are getting in on photo sharing. Canadian footwear chain, Town […]
