Oh love, where do I begin?  The silly photos of moi with Simon Doonan and my other stylist pals, the Lanvin, Balenciaga or Demuelemeester….Or what about the rack of Zandra Rhodes?  I doubt half of the city has heard of Zandra but you must check her stuff out…she’s not for everyone but she’s that particular [...]

Today is the day loves, what exactly does a girl wear to the Barneys ribbon cutting?  Let’s think about this, it is a store opening after all not a night at the Met’s Costume Gala Ball, but I suspect that loads of Scottsdale-ites are itching to don their finest this morning just to celebrate!

Only 24 hrs to go until the opening of the most anticipated retail addition in the last decade…Barneys NY.  Can you feel the excitement shopping fans?

With all the current buzz this week about high end and luxury happenings can I just interject a dose of reality? Let’s face it, no matter how lured I am into a Balenciaga or a Loutboutin I am at heart a practical girl.

Phoenix Fashion Week Reviews

What a buzzing and busy week it was last week in the Valley. In fact there were so many things to do that I simply could not find the time to accomplish everything… let alone stay awake for the after parties. Yes, I wish I was still an out- after- midnight kind of [...]

On a recent gig I had the opportunity to enter what I can only express in clean- enough- for- a- blog words as “my dream closet”. As much as I tried there was no way to hide my absolute jaw dropping, drooling and squirming delight over the contents of the perfectly organized collection of [...]

By diane • Sep 23rd, 2009 • Category: Fashion Flash

Despite my musings about ho hum Emmy moments on Sunday there were still a few more honorable mentions on both sides of the best and worst dressed list. Aside from the don’t- miss- me collection of earrings and twig thin bodies I must say how much I thought the over forty crowd shined…. Did [...]
