To celebrate the season, Canadian design duo Kirk Pickersgrill and Stephen Wong, aka Greta Constantine held their “Midsummer Party” in a private home in Toronto last Thursday. The event was well-attended by the city’s style crowd, including PR mavens, bloggers, celebrities and more. The party featured cocktails made with Stoli as well as delicious hors […]

We’re regulars at the comfort food breakfast-and-lunch joint, frequenting it a couple of times a month (not exactly the best […]

As we wait for season 6 of Mad Men to premiere next year, we can continue to enjoy many 1960s-inspired looks from Joe Fresh’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection. Presented back in March just a week before the season 5 premiere, many of the women’s pieces, which range from swing coats to faux fur and more, just […]

Part market and part restaurant, this 50,000 square foot space, it is the American location of a space of the same name located in Torino, Italy. The New York location has several sit down dining spaces, each specializing in a different type […]
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 […]
My husband and I mark our two year wedding anniversary today and to celebrate, we spent the past weekend in Manhattan. The highlight of the trip was not the shopping, but a sweet, sweet dinner at a steakhouse.

When traveling, especially when on vacation, many love a good beach! The ocean is great for the skin, get a nice little glow from the sun (remember your SPF!), eat some delicious food beach side, what about any of that doesn’t sound attractive? Genoa Genoa city scape Genoa is one of Europe’s largest cities on […]
Style event company eFashionista held this fun and fabulous event on August 16 which brought together some 15 of Toronto’s fashionistas all donning high heels and raspberry coloured aprons while learning how to make delicious cake pops and cotton candy martinis (and considering that the CNE recently opened, I guess you can say that we […]
For Torontonians, the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition (aka the CNE or just plan “the Ex”) marks the end of summer. Opening today and running until September 3, growing up, this event was the last thing I did before school started. After all, the Ex closes on Labour Day, and most schools in Ontario […]
