The Ultimate Looks for NYFW and TIFF: An IFB Project

New York Fashion Week starts this coming Thursday, the same day as opening night for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).  Both events are stylish, in cities where constant heel wearing isn’t ideal and involve a lot of celebrity sighting and perhaps even be photographed by others.  And not to mention unpredictable temperatures.  Early September […]

Massimo Dutti Opens First North American Store at the Toronto Eaton Centre

Zara’s slightly higher-end sibling, Massimo Dutti has arrived in North America, opening its first store at the Toronto Eaton Centre at the spot formerly occupied by another Spanish brand, Mango.  With more sophisticated and “grown-up” pieces, the store definitely targets a cosmopolitan city crowd who like to be trendy, but not over the top.  The […]

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 […]

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, […]
