Bloggers Praise Certain Celebrities, Just Because?

Maybe it was just me, but during and after the Superbowl, practically every style blogger in North America was praising Beyonce’s performance.  Umm… really?  Was she THAT GOOD, performance wise?  Even the Destiny’s Child was pretty much expected.  And her costume wasn’t outstanding, either.  I’m sorry, but I’ve seen leather body suits before.  Besides, why […]

Suzy Kellems Dominik: Elite Model Look’s First Couture and Culture Correspondent

I recently had the chance to speak with Suzy Kellems Dominik, who loaned her couture collection to the latest Elite Model Look competition, a model search hosted by that top agency, which was held in Shanghai.  Suzy also acted as the Couture and Culture Correspondent, where she held a “boot camp” for the contestants explaining […]

Recent Purchases: Ann Taylor, J.Crew and Arthur Mendonça

Wow, it’s been almost a month since the last DelectablyChic! Closet post!  I’ve been concentrating a lot on the main site’s posts, thus didn’t have much time to take pictures of new outfits that I have purchased over the last few weeks.  I finally was able to take some pictures last week, but didn’t get […]

New BMI Calculation Makes Women ‘Fatter’ and Men ‘Slimmer’?
