And like previous seasons, DelectablyChic! will be covering some of the shows remotely (watching online), including BCBG, Nanette Lepore and Tory Burch. We are hoping to post a review of at least one show a day. Will you be watching any of the shows? Which designer are you most looking forward to seeing? Or will […]
Recently, I received an email from Yorkdale’s PR announcing that supermodel, Coco Rocha, will once again be the “spokesmodel” for the mall. The model, who is known to be very active on social media, was born in Toronto, but grew up in British Columbia. While it’s great that Yorkdale chose someone born in the city, […]
This week, Independent Fashion Bloggers asked us to write about fall boots. Though it’s still fairly warm in Toronto – this week’s weather will be in the mid 20s C – projected temperatures over the next couple of weeks will drop down to the mid to high teens. Though not cool enough for boots just […]
The much-anticipated mall opens tomorrow (August 1) with some 85 stores, including Tory Burch, Kate Spade and Michael Kors. Other stores include J.Crew Factory (the second in Ontario) and Banana Republic Factory as well as Hudson’s Bay’s first outlet store. Ports 1961, which left Bloor Street last year is reappearing as an outlet shop at […]
Gambita, the online-only, petite-exclusive store (we profiled them earlier this year) is holding a model search for an upcoming photo shoot! This is probably one of the few chances shorter women under 5’4″ would ever get a chance to model (unless, of course, they’re celebrities like Lady Gaga), since many contests and agencies that claim […]
According to the Globe and Mail, the deal between Saks Fifth Avenue and Hudson’s Bay Company (which also owns Saks rival, Lord & Taylor) was finalized Sunday evening at $2.9 billion. This acquisition could mean that Saks, which has long been rumoured to make its way up to Canada, may finally come into fruition, as will […]
Non-Cantonese speakers are always asking me how to say “hello” in the language. The truth is, there isn’t really a way to do so. On the phone, one might say “wai?” but that’s not super-formal. And “nay ho” and even “nay ho mah” isn’t appropriate all the time, either (a little bit too stuffy). I […]
Tell me a little bit about The Joker’s Closet. How did you come up with the idea? I grew into a habit of finding unique footwear “statement pieces” that would catch people’s eye and urge them to ask questions. Not because of the brand rather because of the cool design ascetic. My love for footwear […]
Held last Wednesday, first with a preview dinner at Parts and Labour, followed by a more media-oriented event at the Hoxton, Toronto favourite, Greta Constantine, presented the Fall/Winter 2013 collection. The upcoming looks, which feature designing duo, Stephen Wong and Kirk Pickersgill’s signature architectural works of art and more “standard” pieces with not only the […]
…or merely annoying? Yes, this is coming from someone who, at one point, ran a petite-focused blog (Shorty Stories is technically still “live” but no longer updates). I follow several Facebook pages, including Endangered Bodies, Adios Barbie, Any-Body (the UK chapter of Endangered Bodies), and to a certain extent, Jezebel, and find many of their […]
