Dining in Manhattan: Eating Italian at Eataly

Eataly is perhaps one of the most interesting foodie spots in New York.  Part market and part restaurant, this 50,000 square foot space, it is the American location of a space of the same name located in Torino, Italy. The New York location has several sit down dining spaces, each specializing in a different type […]

Pondering: Is BCBGMaxAzria becoming Herve Leger Lite?

If you read the DeletablyChic! Closet, you might have noted my “typical summer wardrobe” piece on BCBG jersey dresses.  What I didn’t note is that there seemed to be fewer jersey options this past season.  Instead, BCBG MaxAzria boutiques were mostly dominated by bandage dresses this past season.  Yes, the same “body con” dresses that […]

The highlight of the trip was not the shopping, but a sweet, sweet dinner at a steakhouse.

Style event company eFashionista held this fun and fabulous event on August 16 which brought together some 15 of Toronto’s fashionistas all donning high heels and raspberry coloured aprons while learning how to make delicious cake pops and cotton candy martinis (and considering that the CNE recently opened, I guess you can say that we […]

Let’s Go To the Ex 2012!!

For Torontonians, the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition (aka the CNE or just plan “the Ex”) marks the end of summer.  Opening today and running until September 3, growing up, this event was the last thing I did before school started.  After all, the Ex closes on Labour Day, and most schools in Ontario […]

Rediscovered: Old Kate Spade and Coach Bags

If you follow DelectablyChic! on Instagram, you might have seen a recent picture, taken of a Kate Spade bag that dates back to 2004-ish.  That bag has been sitting in my old closet back at my parents’ place, not seeing the light of day since 2005.  I loved that bag.  It was cute and different, […]

Changes in Yorkville: Louis Vuitton, Starbucks, etc…

The hording is beginning to come off and the interiors look partially done (when the windows are uncovered).  If things progress the way they are right now, the new store could open around TIFF/Fashion’s Night Out!  The store is going to be much bigger than the current location – probably triple the size – and […]

My Wedding Gown: An IFB Fashion Moment

I’ve had a lot of fashion moments, but I’d have to say that my wedding is definitely on top.  My second anniversary is coming up.  In fact, it’s about one week away – August 21.  The dress, which was a lace Oscar de la Renta, was the first dress I tried on.  Like most brides, […]

BCBG Jersey Dress with Belt

Every summer, I get a new at least one new BCBG jersey dress.  I have a whole closet full of them dating back to 2003 or 2004.  This dress is actually from an outlet mall in Niagara Falls, purchased during a massive sale – I think I paid like $50 for this thing.  It’s very […]
