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, […]

Changes in Yorkville: Louis Vuitton, Starbucks, etc…

The hording is beginning to come off and the interiors look partially done (when the windows are uncovered).  If things progress the way they are right now, the new store could open around TIFF/Fashion’s Night Out!  The store is going to be much bigger than the current location – probably triple the size – and […]

Travelling in Italia: Part I

I’m going to start by saying there is nothing exaggerated about how good you hear the food is, no matter what city you travel through in Italy! I’m not a huge fan of pizza here in Canada, but there, yeah, big fan! My diet the entire time was primarily pasta, pizza, bread and cheese with […]

My Wedding Gown: An IFB Fashion Moment

I’ve had a lot of fashion moments, but I’d have to say that my wedding is definitely on top.  My second anniversary is coming up.  In fact, it’s about one week away – August 21.  The dress, which was a lace Oscar de la Renta, was the first dress I tried on.  Like most brides, […]

BCBG Jersey Dress with Belt

Every summer, I get a new at least one new BCBG jersey dress.  I have a whole closet full of them dating back to 2003 or 2004.  This dress is actually from an outlet mall in Niagara Falls, purchased during a massive sale – I think I paid like $50 for this thing.  It’s very […]

And Robin Kay is stepping down as executive director (but will remain president of the Fashion Design Council of Canada).  This could mean big things for Toronto Fashion Week, including more press – something that Toronto Fashion Week really deserves.  According to the Toronto Star, the Spring/Summer 2013 collections will go on as planned this […]

Thoughts on Kawaii-ness

People often ask me why I don’t shop at Pacific Mall (or other Asian shopping areas) for anything other than food and electronics.  My answer? There’s just way, way too much kawaii (“cute” or “loveable” in Japanese).  It’s a sensory overload and I really don’t understand why anyone who is older than middle school age […]
