Featuring some of Toronto’s favourite bloggers as models (including Dainty Girl‘s Nicole Wilson, the Sparks Twins and Toronto Beauty Review‘s Elaine […]
DelectablyChic! favourite, Sarah Stevenson, has won the 2013 New Labels competition. New Labels is the annual event where up-and-coming designers vie for a coveted $25,000 cash award as well as mentoring and feature in Flare magazine.

Hilary MacMillan presented her Fall/Winter 2013 collection at 99 Sudbury last Monday, a line that is fairly affordable, at the $150-$400 range, according to a Q&A. DelectablyChic!, however, was unable to attend the show, so we could only judge the collection from photos sent to us. This collection, which consists of gorgeous, rich tones, ranging […]
Can I say how excited I am for this? Yorkdale’s next expansion (will have nearly 300,000 square feet of shopping space) is slated to be completed in 2016 will include Nordstrom, according to a post on the mall’s blog.

So here we go with what I […]
Day Four: Starting the day off was Matthew Gallagher, who makes his David Pecaut Square debut with a collection that was, like Pink Tartan, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock (see write-up here). This was followed by the avant-garde UNTTLD, whose signature all-black styles once again ruled the runway. Many of the looks translate well in the […]
Day Two: Menswear line Klaxon Howl’s collection definitely had a bit of a wild west vibe, especially with their women’s capsule collection (the guys’ pieces leaned more towards the signature blue collar look). True to the brand’s philosophy, the women’s line also carries a rugged vibe. While this was an okay attempt at women’s […]
