I don’t know about you, but for me, warm weather usually means spending more time wearing casual dresses and skirts. I have an obsession with BCBG’s jersey dresses – I have some that date back to 2003 or so – but of course, BCBG isn’t the only line I wear during the summer. Here are […]
For a very long time, I was shooting not only outfit pictures for this site, but runway and other fashion images for DelectablyChic! (and its predecessor, Prospere Magazine) using an advanced point-and-shoot. However, I knew that if I wanted better pictures, I needed to invest in a better camera, something with interchangeable lenses. I got […]
Yesterday, it was reported that after 27 years, Canadian-produced Fashion Television (aka FT) was being cancelled with a rumour due to low ratings. The purpose of the show when it premiered in the 80s was to bring fashion to “the rest of us” in a medium outside of print magazines. However, over the past few […]
The people at Garnier Canada recently sent me a very small sample of their new BB Cream. BB Creams, also known as Beauty Balms or Blemish Balms, work as an all-in-one primer, sunscreen and for many brands, a tinted moisturizer, is the latest import from Asia and first written about at DelectablyChic! back in December.

Yesterday, when I was checking The Odd Slipper to see what new additions they had, I noticed that one of their latest shoes, the camel coloured Faith, is available in wide sizes from 3 to 5.5. According to their latest email, they are also able to custom order other designs in wide and narrow. This […]
Premium Outlets’ Woodbury Common is one of my favourite outlet malls to visit when I’m in the New York area. With stores like Prada, YSL and Ferragamo as well as factory stores for Banana Republic, J.Crew and Coach, what more could a girl ask for? Soon, we Canucks won’t have to go across the border […]
A while back, we posted a piece about Yorkdale’s renovations and asked what stores you’d like see open there (followed up last week by a piece updating on speculated stores). So now we turn to another major shopping district in Toronto, the Bloor-Yorkville area. This area has one of the highest rents for a shopping […]
As soon as I heard that a Canadian version was in the works, my reaction was “ooohhhhh boy.” Yeah, the Vancouver edition debuted on Slice recently. I don’t really watch shows like these – I think it fries too many brain cells, but I sort of understand why people watch these shows (that’s why they […]
OK, so no Easter Bonnet. I don’t even wear hats very much (other than wool ones you wear in the winter), but for Easter, my husband and I decided to head over to a local hotel for a delicious buffet brunch. It wasn’t a fancy place – just a regular, run-of-the-mill hotel chain about a […]
A bit of Canada love here some of my latest purchases come from Canadian brands. The first two are dresses that I got from Homegrown Boutique, a store in Toronto’s Yorkville shopping district that features items from Canadian designers. The first was actually purchased back in the fall when I attended Homegrown Boutique’s Spring/Summer 2012 […]
