Hazelnut Field Roast – A Vegan Alternative for Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving just a week away for Canadians (and under two months for those of you south of the border), some of you may still be looking for food ideas, especially alternatives to the standard turkey or ham.  Recently, I was invited to a tasting event at Whole Foods Yorkville that included items that were […]

Sweater Weather (Plus Help Me Choose Sunglasses)

This week’s IFB Project is to put together one’s best “sweater weather style.”  Well, this isn’t best-best in terms of prettiness, but it’s one of my favourite weekend outfits and a look that I’ve gone with for at least two or three ears – just about as long as I’ve had this cardigan – or […]

The post Sweater Weather (Plus Help Me Choose Sunglasses) appeared first on The DelectablyChic! Closet.

Drama and Television: No Longer for the Masses?

For the past few years, cable-based television has dominated the Emmys, especially in the drama category(this year, the only non-cable show with a nod was Downton Abbey (cast image below), which is shown on public television).  One now wonders if drama – real “drama” – even has a place on network television anymore.   In fact, […]

‘Proper’ Dress, Funky Dress and Press

Let me preface this article by saying that I don’t have issues with ALL fashion and style bloggers.  Just some.  They are the bloggers who have a holier-than-thou attitude about what’s “in” and what’s “out” and that certain celebrities don’t “have style” because they don’t always wear the latest trends.  Then there are those bloggers […]

Yes to Fresh: Downtown Toronto Lunch Spot

Ideal Bags for Daily Use, Proportion, Etc…

Every woman needs to have THE BAG to take all of her essentials.  For many, including myself, this includes a wallet, phone, lip gloss, keys, so a small to medium bag would do the trick. Others prefer something larger, perhaps something that can double up as a shopping bag or briefcase or even gym bag- […]

Balzac Coffee on Yonge and Bloor: Coffee, 1, Food, 0

The newest location of Balzac Coffee opened at the Toronto Reference Library on Yonge, just north of Bloor just a little over a month ago and recently, I stopped in for some breakfast.  I’ve been to other Balzac locations before, including a very artsy spot at the Distillery District, so I wasn’t expecting too much […]
