Petite Fashion Challenge #15, courtesy of Long Live Classy, asked readers to recreate an outfit from Pinterest a closely as possible. I have to admit that this was a hard one. First I had to find a pin that I liked AND it had to work with what I had in my closet! And because […]
Elle Canada held a spring style and shopping event at Intermix in Yorkville Thursday evening. Though no one from the magazine actually spoke about trends, many of the pieces were tagged as looks recommended by editor-in-chief, Noreen Flanagan as an “Editor’s Choice.” I didn’t agree with some of her picks, however, as they looked like […]
I’m heading to the Junior League of Toronto’s DelecTABLE Designs preview party on the 26th and need your help picking shoes to wear. I’m probably going to be wearing my Versace for H&M hearts flapper dress, but can’t decide on what shoes to pair it with. Should I wear: 1. Pink Annabels (The Odd Slipper) […]
…not even online! Ron White has received a lot of press lately about his line of oh-so-comfortable shoes, but I can’t wear them. The smallest size I could find at the boutique and online is a 35/5 and it wasn’t just a little bit too big, something that can be helped by insoles, but MUCH […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
