By Marlene • Jul 31st, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

I’m not sure why, but this is the first Friday in a long time I’m actually not ready for it to be Friday. August is upon is and I just can’t believe how fast this year has gone by already.On the other hand, some cooler temps I would definitely welcome.
This week in fashion news we’ve [...]

When I was little, I was obsessed with playing with paper dolls. As an adult, I guess you could say I’m still equally obsessed, except the paper dolls have now become live human beings in the form of myself, my friends and pretty much anyone I can get my hands on. I love picking out [...]



New at Net-a-Porter

By Marlene • Jul 28th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

I think I was sweating this morning as I went to take Lola out. But the rest of the world is in fall fashion mode, and now that I’m back in the air conditioning, I’m fantasizing about it too.
So, off to Net-a-Porter I went, in search of their latest, greatest fall additions. The site is [...]



InspireYourStyle.com Sweepstakes

By Marlene • Jul 27th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

Everybody hates Monday’s.  Except for maybe Sunday nights, it’s proably the least-liked day of the week. Poor Monday. It’s just always going to have a pretty bad rep.
I, however, not wanting to see that same poor kid picked last for the Dodgeball team, like to look at Monday’s as a fresh slate for the week. [...]

It’s Friday. It’s gray and it’s humid like crazy out. As in please stay indoors as long as possible today. It’s quite gross.
So to roundout this otherwise dreary Friday, I thought I’d start a recap of a weekly dose of what’s been going on in the fashion world. Both here and around the country. So [...]



How to Mix High and Low Fashions

By Marlene • Jul 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fashion How-to's

If there’s one fashion lesson to learn quickly it’s how to mix high and low-end fashions. This, I like to believe, is one of the first fashion commandments I mastered because I was A. always obsessed with fashion but B. not working with a Paris Hilton-sized trust fund.
Especially with the economic climate the way it [...]



Over-the-Knee Boots

I cannot stop thinking about thigh-high boots. They’re definitely a huge trend for fall 2009 and were seen all over the fall runways. Whether you want some in suede, leather, flat or with a great big stiletto, there’s a style to suit pretty much everyone.
Now, the thigh-high boots I’m lusting after are heeled. But, I [...]



Nicholas Kirkwood Shoes

By Marlene • Jul 21st, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

This season has definitely been the season of the Statement Shoe. They were seen all over the spring runways and again for this coming fall too. Though I usually don’t advocate making a big monetary investment in shoes that aren’t classic, some shoes are just so different in special it’d be silly not to.
One particular [...]
