MySkins Nude Lingerie

By Marlene • Jul 15th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

A lot of people don’t like to take work home with them. They try and leave it at the office or at the very least, don’t bring it into personal activities. When you’re a bit obsessed with the nature of your work, however, it’s a totally different thing. You can’t help when and where you [...]



Barneys New York Finds

By Marlene • Jul 9th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

As I write this post, there are officially 97 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes and 2 seconds until the Barneys New York store at Scottsdale Fashion Square opens and I could not be more excited. Yay! Most of us fashion-obsessed just can’t wait as a store like Barney’s in Arizona is long overdue.
I could quite [...]



BCBG MaxAzria Spring 2009 Runway

By Marlene • Jun 2nd, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Last year I scored this amazing BCBG MaxAzria Runway dress on sale for my birthday. I’m still totally obsessed with it because it’s truly just gorgeous. One thing I love about BCBG is there’s always fantastic sales. You can score an amazing dress at 75% off that’s good quality and not something everyone else. With [...]



Absolutely Fabulous Party Dresses

By Marlene • May 27th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

So in exactly one month, I’ll be turning 59 in Bunny Years. (If you haven’t seen the movie “House Bunny” yet, go get it now, it’s hilarious and you’ll totally understand the reference.)
Like any gal, I’m not too thrilled. Except for hopefully some nice presents, turning older is never any fun. And even if I’m [...]



Cute Gym Clothes

By Marlene • May 19th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

If you’ve been living in Arizona longer than say, five minutes, it’s pretty safe to say you’ve noticed how gym obsessed everyone is here. Maybe it’s because it’s a West Coast mentality or everyone is just a health freak but personally, I think it’s just because it’s so freaking hot.  What can you wear when [...]



Summer’s Best Wedges

By Marlene • May 15th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Spring and summer footwear calls for two things: some sassy sandals and some super sexy wedges. Whether you call them espadrilles or wedges ( I prefer wedges just cause espadrilles is such a PIA to pronounce) what’s best about them is you get all the height without looking overdone. I mean, what else are you [...]



Phoenix Summer Fashion Finds

By Marlene • May 13th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

Today, I just feel like shopping. It’s just one of those days. I know, I pretty much feel like shopping everyday. But today I’m curious what’s new at all my favorite shops. And since it’s so unbelievably hot out (I’m really really not excited for the 100 degree+ temps), at least I have the luxury [...]



Shopbop.com Handbag Sale

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

When I got my shopbop.com sale alert I had two thoughts: 1. I’m in desperate need of a new handbag since I’ve totally beaten up my Kooba by now and 2. I can’t believe I haven’t done an all-purse post! I know I’ve done several all-shoe posts. How could I have missed an all-handbag post? [...]



Spring 2009 Open-Toe Caged Booties

By Marlene • Mar 26th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

I’ve been on quite the shoe binge lately. And by binge I mean periodically posting links to fabulous footwear on my facebook page. Because if there’s one thing I have noticed this season, it’s there’s something utterly fabulous going on when it comes to shoes.
Caged sandals, open-toe booties, laceup styles and tons of straps are [...]



bobi collection

By Marlene • Mar 9th, 2009 • Category: Fashion Obsessions

When the temps start to hit triple digits, I pretty much live in casual dresses. They’re comfy, easy and let my legs actually breathe despite it being 100 degrees-plus outside. But my other can’t-live-without wardrobe staple is casual tops. I literally can’t pop into Target without snapping up another plain-colored wife beater or tank because [...]
