Over the next week or so, I will be transferring all 2012 outfit/lookbook posts to a new site called The DelectablyChic! Closet where I will be posting my style posts starting some time in early August. All posts coming from the site, which will include looks from my closet, wish list items as well as […]
A few days ago, IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) published a post on the iPhone versus the latest HTC DROID, an Android-operated device. I was a little bit astounded at the fact that I was the only one who mentioned that comparing the two is apples to oranges (no pun intended) rather than apples to apples, […]
This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge hosted by Easy Petite Looks asks us to: IMPRESS OUR DATES (i.e. put an outfit together for “date night” with the significant other or a girls’ night out). The outfit below, purchased at White House Black Market at a recent trip to Rochester (my first time at the store!), this […]

I recently received a pair of MEGUMI-O “Asian Fit” sunglasses as a gift from designer Megumi Hosogai. The glasses, with its huge, rock star style shape, were inspired by those sported by the late First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis and made to fit those who have trouble with “standard” glasses due to the frames touching […]

In fact, several of the ingredients – the flour, vegetable oil and sugar – were replaced with […]
The Yorkville area boutique which carries items from new and established Canadian designers like Rachel Sin, Sarah Stevenson and others celebrated its one year anniversary last night with a bash at Epique Lounge, just steps away from the store. Some items from the store were showcased on dress forms and there were some delicious cookies […]
While the rumour about Nordstrom opening in Ottawa, Vancouver and Calgary have been around for months, the Sherway rumour is newer – and a pleasant surprise, as Torontonians were wondering why their city was not on the list. The mall itself, however, is a surprise, as these days, everything seems to be opening at Yorkdale. […]
Yesterday, US-based designer Jason Wu announced a more affordable line, Miss Wu, which will exclusively be available at Nordstrom stores and online (great news for international fans!). This line, according to WWD, will feature both ready-to-wear pieces, with accessories being added at a later date. Source: wwd.com via WWD on Pinterest A look from […]
This weekend, I had my family over for dinner and was looking online for a salad to serve. I came upon a quinoa and kale salad, but because not everyone likes kale, I decided to make some changes to it and make it my own. In fact, I made a lot of changes (the original […]
I recently purchased two full skirts, one from Femme de Carriere, a Montreal-based clothing store with office-friendly clothing (both casual and formal) and another from a Kate Spade outlet in Niagara Falls, New York. Some people think that these skirts can overwhelm a petite frame, but it really depends on the style (e.g. how much […]
