After graduating college when I first started working, my wardrobe situation was incredibly frustrating. In fact, I clearly remember not being the only one of my friends who consistently suffered from having absolutely nothing to wear. My closet was filled with clothes mind you, and so was theirs. But the problem was it was filled [...]

It seems pretty unbelievable that it’s already almost July, but  If you’re lucky enough to be getting out of the sweltering heat this weekend, or even if you’re staying in town, I’ve got a few Fourth of July essentials to get you through this weekend. So lather up on sunblock, get with some friends and [...]

You’ve heard me say I’m a beauty junkie. And that I have a crapload of makeup. But when I decided to attack my office/vanity room on a cleaning spree this week, I really got an up-close idea of what A LOT means. And boy is it scary….

That’s about 14 makeup bags, each full of makeup. [...]

If you read last week’s edition on How to Build a Wardrobe and actually implemented the ideas, it’s time for Step 2! Trust me, it’s much easier if you start that way before moving on to the rest. Depending on the pie chart of your life you made in Part 1 (you did make one [...]

We’ve all read those pieces on how to build a wardrobe. White button-down? Check. Black slacks? Check. But why does it seem like your closet still isn’t complete? It probably needs a bit more assessment from you to dig a little deeper.

Last week I was bad. I was invited to a daytime pool party that I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to make. In fact, it would’ve been a complete surprise since to be honest, I just don’t go to pool parties. I’m not really a fan of outside. Especially in Arizona.
At any [...]

If you’ve read any of my “what to wear” posts before I’ll let you in on a little secret: most are written from a combination of the facts that I’ve likely A. been before and am drawing upon B. my knowledge in fashion combined with common sense.
This “what to wear” post, however, is partly drawn [...]

It’s that time of year again! April brings clear skies, nice weather and the Arizona food and booze month. Yup, I really just called it that because there’s tons of local food and wine events this month. Case in point, next weekend’s Scottsdale Culinary Festival.
Every year us Phoenicians totally look forward to this event. There’s [...]

I’m at that age, or maybe it’s just that time of year, where wedding invites just keep on coming. I’ve got one as soon as next weekend which got me thinking, what do you wear to a wedding? Really, it all depends on the bride, location, time of day and how formal or not formal [...]
