H&M, hardly the first non-high end brand to present at any Fashion Week, made its Parisian debut recently with the Fall 2013 collection at the historical Musée Rodin. Celebrities including Emma Roberts and Ashley Olsen, joined stylists, editors and musicians as models weaved in and out of the museum’s rooms in what looked like a […]
Nestled at street level of a Midtown Toronto condo just west of Yonge is Minling Pan Studio (aka Shining Image), an image consulting business and clothing boutique selling unique items not found elsewhere in the city. Born and raised in southern China, Ms. Pan came to Canada to study Fashion Management and Image Consulting at […]
The new Mad Men collection at Banana Republic has hit stores and online. As noted in an earlier post, this year’s collection is inspired by the mod looks of the later 1960s, looks that are far more casual. I went into the store on launch day as the dress I wanted to try (Peggy knit […]
Hosted by LOFT Girls/Hip Urban Girl and store staff, a brunch shopping party was held at LOFT Yorkdale on February 24. The event was not that atypical of similar shopping parties, save for brunch food (granola, fruit and yogurt in shot glasses, banana and Nutella sandwiches, etc…) and the lack of a make-up or manicure […]
Petite sizes, especially petite-exclusive collections, while growing, are hard to come by. Often seen as something for a very mature market, many petite women avoid them like the plague. However, things are changing, especially with Jeetly, the newest entry to the petite-exclusive market. Founded by 5’1” Jess Jeetly, the small UK-based collection of work-appropriate dresses, […]
Anyone who has been to the Toronto Eaton Centre over the past week or two may have noticed the hoarding at what used to be Brown’s Shoes (which will should re-open at Sephora’s former home in a few weeks). It did have me wondering – why on Earth would LOFT open on the third floor, […]
With the sixth season making its debut on AMC in April, it’s time for another Mad Men collection at Banana Republic. As the show heads deeper into the 1960s, the looks are more inspired by the “mod” look than the early 1960s glam of the Kennedys. Many of the women’s pieces are a nod to […]
Is it just me, or are many “fashion” blogs turning into “shopping” blogs? I’m not talking about sites that primarily discuss new finds, but general style blogs. It seems that for many people, just about every post has something new in it, and these are bloggers who post at least on a weekly basis. How […]
Recently, I was contacted by the PR rep for Jeetly, based out of the UK. This is an online-only, petite-exclusive collection that only launched this past fall. The collection consists of blouses, skirts and dresses, all appropriate for a moderately conservative office. I was lucky enough to get a discount to purchase two of the […]
The post Jeetly: A UK-Based Petite-Exclusive, Work-Appropriate Collection appeared first on The DelectablyChic! Closet.
For those of us outside of Toronto and the US who’ve been longing for Ann Taylor and LOFT, the wait is over. International shipping is here! Using FiftyOne (the same company that the American GAP Inc. sites use), both stores are now shipping to many countries, including the UK, Australia, UAE, Taiwan, Bermuda, Hong Kong […]
