Colette Grand Café, a French-inspired cafe and restaurant at the Thompson Hotel (550 Wellington Street West), held a media preview the day before its grand opening. Located at the former home of Scarpetta, this restaurant offers both a grab-and-go bakery and a sit-down restaurant. At the media event, attendees were given the opportunity to taste […]
The Roland Mouret for Banana Republic collection launches later this week! The vast majority of the pieces (all dresses, skirts and pants) are in the Sloan cut, Banana Republic’s sleek, body-hugging skirts, dresses and pants, all extremely comfortable, yet professional looking. Some of DelectablyChic!‘s favourites include: 1. Sloan Long-Sleeve Colorblock Dress in Multi: We like […]
Last year, we profiled an online, petite-focused store called Gambita, which sold clothing that was suited for women 5’4″ and below. The clothes on Gambita were from other brands which made shorter inseams and hemlines. One year later, Gambita has rebranded. It is now called Carolina Alvo (after the designer herself), and launches with its […]
This Margaret Wente article from the Globe and Mail had me thinking. In a city full of wonderful and interesting foods, is it time to go back to the basics? This means boring old meatloaf with tomato sauce, plain mashed potatoes if you’re Anglo, stir-fry beef and gai lan if you’re Chinese or whatever dishes […]
I just came across the news this morning (after clicking on an email from J.Crew regarding new styles). J.Crew has NOT sold petite length denim or sweaters in at least five years. The jeans are available only in the Reid line and have a 30″ inseam. Sizes are the standard 24-30 and come in six […]
A few weeks ago, I came across an Elizabeth Bernstein article in the Wall Street Journal called “How to Deal With Other People’s Rude Behavior,” (also known as “I’m Sorry, I Think I’m Allergic to You”) which was about people who find others so irritating that they start breaking out in hives or itching. Ms. […]
My husband and I go out for breakfast/brunch every Sunday. One of our frequent haunts is Maggie’s, a casual, sort of hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant on Charles, east of Yonge, right across from another (fancier) favourite, Wish. I wouldn’t say that the food is all that spectacular – it’s good, but definitely not something to […]
There have been several restaurants located at 137 Avenue Road, located just a bit north of Bloor with various different types of cuisines, including Indian and Italian. In fact, I had reviewed the Indian restaurant once when this site was still known as Prospere Magazine. Sadly, it closed shortly after the article was published. Then […]
Many smaller-framed women are familiar with the California-based line, The Little Bra Company. Carrying “grown-up” looking bras as small as a 28AA, the brand has, over the years, become a go-to line for those of us who are small (including yours truly). The brand has been available in Canada for some time, but it’s often […]
As most people in Toronto know, Summerlicious starts this Friday. Again, some 200 restaurants will be participating in this twice yearly affair where people get to dine on a three course meal of $15, $20 or $25 for lunch or $25, $35 or $45 for dinner. However, what I’ve always wondered was how restaurant decide […]
