Yes, it’s for real (brand name is MerloCola) and it’s one of the many exhibitors at this year’s Gourmet Food and Wine Expo. I tried it and have to admit that it was quite…interesting. While the small sample was good, I’m not really sure if I’ll ever have a full serving. I think I’m a […]
Can you believe that the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo is just days away? This is a favourite event of DelectablyChic! and many favourites look like they’ll be back, including Hank Daddy’s BBQ (known for their pulled pork parfait – something we noted back in a 2011 post for this event), Brix chocolate (they were […]

Her Spring/Summer pieces, consisting of dresses and separates (including short tops) in unique, asymmetrical shapes – long on one side and shorter on the other as well as broader shoulders. They also look extremely comfortable, […]
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about Malorie Urbanovitch’s upcoming collection as the first few pieces were presented – they were fairly dark in colour, ranging mostly navies and burnt oranges. It screamed fall/winter. Not to mention, many were knits, albeit lightweight. However, as the show progressed, the looks became more and more […]
