Kate Spade Spring 2010

By diane • Feb 25th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Last evening I attended the FGI event at Kate Spade in Scottsdale Fashion Square. Though I was a member for several years, sadly between running a beauty business and being a fashion editor and freelance stylist it didn’t leave much room for all of the things that I wanted to do. But [...]



Chanel’s Outlandish Accessories

By diane • Jan 12th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

I remember watching the original movie Chanel Solitare on television as a teen and became completely obsessed with all things Chanel. Though I couldn’t afford any real Chanel there were plenty of thrift store options to mimic the look. Working in the accessory department of a large retail store put me close [...]



New Denim Trends

By diane • Jan 8th, 2010 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

There are just some trends that you live in for years, the ones that are so super comfy that you are not sure what you will do when you can’t wear that one look anymore…at least without becoming the fodder of jokes from passersby on the street. For me there was the long slim [...]

Stella McCartney – Fall 09

By diane • Oct 1st, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

As the youngest in a household of extreme music fans I remember the first time I saw the Beatles…. I remember dancing around the living room and thinking these guys were totally cool… yes I was a mere squirt at the time but the fab four had their effect on me.
Who would have thought that [...]



Fall 09 – Fashion Wish List

By diane • Sep 29th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

As noted yesterday I have been on a thoroughly joyous bit of a fashion docu-pix ramble as of late. And surprisingly I am finding myself consciously and unconsciously dissecting the manner, agenda and look of each couturier’s entourage….Valentino so emotional so passionate, YSL quietly restrained, sensitive and thoughtful, Lagerfeld, opulent, boisterous and devil may [...]



Yves Saint Laurent – Fall 09

By diane • Sep 28th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Perhaps it’s my new Netflix addiction or maybe it’s just the changing of the season…can we call it that when it’s still 104 degrees in Sept? I so want to delve into fall fashion. Whatever the reason I have been on a fashion documentary bender lately. Valentino, YSL, Coco … I can’t seem to [...]



Obsessions – The Row Fall 09

By diane • Sep 2nd, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Yes it’s September, a magical month in fashion, our stack of magazines though they may have landed weeks ago are chock full of who’s what’s and wear’s and what to buy, store, keep for the upcoming season. I for one can never get enough… in the words of Carrie Bradshaw: “When I first moved [...]



Beth Church- Rock & Roll Jewels

By diane • Aug 7th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

From the very first moment I saw Audrey Hepburn wearing that fitted little black dress in Breakfast at Tiffany’s it has been one of my all-time favorite essentials. I don’t think that I have ever gone a season without at least one in my closet. But, deep down in there is a rocker chick inside [...]



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 [...]
